I was stupid. I got the other app by this developer — “Camera Remote for Go Pro”, which works fine on the phone, with Live Preview and all but no Apple Watch support. So I bought this one, thinking it’d be like the other one but *with* Apple Watch functionalities. However, this app is just a simple remote controller with no Live Preview, which is what I actually need. Oh well, my fault for not reading carefully before paying.
Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback.
Seems to work wey

I ordered the app on my iPhone 12, then downloaded and started the app on watch. Paired to my gopro12 with no issues in just a minute or two. I did see an odd list of ??? During the pairing.Once paired it seems to work well. It appears to use the settings from the previous recording which is fine. You can also switch modes and highlight along with power on and off.Everything seems to work. But have not tried it in the field yet. So far satisfied.
Functional

It works as described
=TBC= Cyberspy
Apple Watch 7, GoPro 11 and iPhone 12. Followed the directions for pairing in the help guide on the devs website and everything connected without issue. Only request I have is maybe add a feature for live preview when needed. Other than that, app works and does what it supposed to do.
2.0.2 (21-07-2026)
- Fixed: Preset names now display correctly on the Hero 12 and 13 (many presets, and custom-named ones, were all showing as "Activity").
