The app controls the Atom gimbal just fine. However, it is unreliable when it comes to saving video. I have had multiple instances where it “failed to save video.” These of course occur when recording non-repeatable events like dance recitals or musical performances. As nice as the Atom gimbal is, I’d rather use the iOS Camera app to be sure the video I record actually saves. I’ve missed out on too many memories to trust the Snoppa app.

It's a good app but not good enough yet. I love the face and object tracking function, it doing better than I'm using Zhi-Yun. Here's something of my opinions 😔1. The video file’s name and metadata information could fill better, especially what I need a capture machine info in the metadata, for videos settlement. 2. Hope it could add a button of wireless charging function on the interface, I don't use this function often so I want to put other function on the physical button, but if I did, when I need wireless charging, I have no way to turn it on, the only way is to rest it back to a physical button;3. A ”very slow” selection of zoom/focus speed function. The ”slow” still got a little bit fast for some scenes. 3. A selection to choose multiple languages.

The M1 gimbal is a nice solid piece of kit, in weight and looks, and it (mostly) does a good job of holding the phone up. For a while.When I first got it, I shot using my 7 and 7 Plus. I haven’t used it for months, but went to prepare for a documentary trip. The app won’t connect over Bluetooth on the Plus on iOS 12.4.1, and the gimbal slowly drifts without an easy way to correct it. Looks like the app hasn’t been updated since 2016, so there may be some subtle framework compatibility issues that could be fixed if somebody spent a couple of hours on it.And devs, the fake 5-star reviews certainly aren’t helping things.

It would be great for all Atom users to have an option for selecting lock mode with a press of a button or cycle just like the M1 instead of press and holding it. When you put the Atom on a monopod and want to raise it up high, you lose the ability to do that since you can’t hold it anymore. It would slowly drift left or right either in follow mode or full follow mode.
