ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GoPro Fluid holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camera Remote for GoPro has 114 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Camera Remote for GoPro's written reviews are positive against 0% of GoPro Fluid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
