Ratings and reviews

It is a little quirky to work with, and seems to partially disconnect from time to time. The features are great, I just wish it would remember your gimbal and automatically open up and connect. My other issue is that the app is saying it needs to update to 2.9.11 when you open it, and they haven't even given that update to google so the current one on the play store is 2.9.8, and when you have your phone linked to your work profile, they don't like you installing non certified apps from 3rd party sources, so I can't update mine.

It's okay. It does what it says. At one point it was probably much better than the stock camera apps. But it feels outdated. The Samsung camera app has way more functionality and use than this app does. It doesn't allow 8k recording even though my phone can do that. It doesn't use optical zooming, only digital, so the zoom function is useless to me as I can get crisp video while zooming on the Samsung app. Even the focus seems subpar. I may use it periodically for simple things, but unlikely.

This app DOES NOT work for people who have Samsung Android phones. I found out the hard way. I tried to set it up today. I had to find a YouTube video on how to balance it correctly. In the comments of the video, that's where I found out many people who have Samsung phones are having compatibility issues with this software app. For me, the app keeps getting error messages when I try to scan the QR code in my sony zv-1. So I cannot use the zoom or the record buttons. Developers have not fixed it
