No Privacy! Perverts

So… not only I paid to get this accessory, I then found out that it doesn’t work with Bluetooth but with an app that I had to download. I was suspicious and hesitant in the beginning. I thought I’ll give it a try. I downloaded the app, took the first pic, then I wondered how do I delete this from the app? THERE IS NO OPTION TO DELETE IT! What kind of doggy business is this that you’re running? Disgusting! Absolutely no care about privacy, rights, customers. Scammers!

Accessibility and works great every time!

Bought the remote a couple years ago for my son. Downloaded this app on his wheelchair mounted iPad. Using Velcro I secured the little remote to his wheelchair’s lap tray. The button wasn’t easy for him, however, with effort & desire he figured a way.
Battery life is excellent, the beep when he takes a photo isn’t a problem, it is an asset. Thank you.

Rubbish

Don’t buy! You can’t use it with iPhone 8 plus.
Remote it rubbish 🤮

Works for iPhone X

I’ve had this in the box for 3 years before I opened and tried to use it. I thought it was a dud because it wouldn’t turn on but I just had to pop the battery in and out several times then finally got a beep. The beeping is very loud and annoying though. You don’t get any options except for Flash, Grid, Tiger & Reverse camera mode. Not sure if it’s worth the retail $20 but it does what it says so far.

good app works good with remote

this app works with the vivitar selfie snap wireless remote. bought it today at micro center for 2 dollars and it works really well. stood about 20-30 feet away and my iphone 8 plus was able to pick up the beep from the remote to take the pic. haven’t tried it where there’s more noise but straight out the box and text d in a living room to the kitchen it works really good.

only if it could press record in videos now

It works surprisingly well

Remote sends high freq audio beeps and so app needs permission to access the microphone to work. Works at range of at least 5m across room with TV on in background.

Cheaper than Bluetooth and no pairing needed. Rubber hook slides off remote to act as primitive phone stand/support.

Easy to use and works with my 5s and iOS 11.

Cheap & Cheerful and maybe all you need. Fun !

PS. 5* if it did video as well. Thanks to those who mentioned to pull the tab in box to find the instructions. Probably why I got mine for just a quid in a charity store 😋

Hmm... why the beeping??

It’s a simple app that works the Snap remote. Not yet updated to work with iPhone X so you will have dark banners at top and bottom. I guess you get what you pay for - mine was free. Simple to use but for the life of me I can’t figure out why the remote has to beep every time you take a picture?!?! Absolutely ridiculous beeping! Came with a tripod, phone holder, remote and carry bag. Throw out remote, delete the app and just use the free tripod.

Great app and remote

Wow I wasn’t expecting that this would be any good but what a surprise, as long as the remote is switched on and you start the app then you will have no problems and you can use the app even if you forgot your remote, it would be nice to have more stuff added to the app and maybe in the future it will have but all in all it’s still worth the five stars I gave it. :)

Doesn’t take panoramas on iOS 11

The panoramic pod tripod and clockwork rotator that accompanies this app are cheap and cheerful but do the job on smaller phones. Remember to activate Bluetooth and take the battery isolating tab out to make it work. However the app doesn’t appear to support taking panoramas which defeats the object of having a panoramic stand. I’m hoping the developers will fix this soon. I’ll just have to use it from the ordinary camera app.

Works fine

Got the remote for a quid in poundworld, tested it, works fine. Remote doesn't need to sync, works with a burst of audio, pretty clever, was expecting to have to mess around with Bluetooth.
Make sure you give the app microphone access or it won't work.

Works just fine

Free app to accompany a Bluetooth remote I bought for £1. Works fine and simple to use. It would be better if you could also adjust the camera shutter speed, but can't really complain

A few improvements...

This app does the job of taking pictures but I would love it if it had a video feature (which is why I bought the remote) but all in all it works.

Useless and has no support

Doesn't work on my iPhone 7 and the website has absolutely no support available. Waste of time.

Good! But....

The product good app good but I wanted to use this for YouTube for when my phone on the tripod stand so then I click to record instead of walking up and taping it

Does the job

I bought the product about half an hour ago, downloaded the app in the car and tried it out. Works fine - I wonder if maybe those it didn't work for checked the remote was actually turned on?
Few things could be improved - being able to delete photos in the app rather than going into the photo app on my phone to do it. Some filters would be cool too. Overall though I think it's great. No more awkwardly trying to reach the shutter button with my thumb when taking a group selfie!

Remote?!?!?

How the heck do you sinc the remote with the app, doesn't work. Someone needs to explain this to me please. Clicked the button a bunch of times, nothing happened.

Doesn't work

Press the button and nothing happens

Brilliant app but need improving

This app is always a go to when travelling but it needs a few improvements so I can always use it on the go, if you added a video options, filters, slow motion, make the photo fit the who screen of my phone as it doesn't at the moment and different camera options, I would give this app 5 stars as I love it!

Doesn't work!!!

Bought as thought my daughter would love it and can only use as a normal camera. Remote doesn't work! Waste of time!

Does what it says, but not a fan

I got the coordinating product for free, so I guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. The remote beeps every time a button is pressed, and the app won't function if it doesn't have microphone permissions. This is unnecessary and ridiculous. I'm giving the product to someone else and have already deleted the app. What a waste.
