Feel like a god

Unreal app that's way easier to use than the official GoPro remote. I once used it to control 15 GoPros for a filming project and it was a lifesaver. It is godlike control hearing them all come to life and record at once.

My one complaint is the dated UI. Looks like something from 2005, and makes it very hard to operate with motorcycle gloves, but it works and it works well.

Only about 5% of the time will the connection hang up but I can't tell if it's a GoPro or app problem.

Thanks for your feedback!

Finally, a solution!

Because of the larger chapter file size on later GoPros (I have a 12 Hero Black) there is no way to upload large videos from the camera to the Mac without removing the SD Card. Apple Image Capture limits upload file size to 4.29 GB. iMovie seems to have a similar limit.

In general, I think it's a bad idea to be handling SD cards excessively due to the risk of damaging them so I was looking for a solution for uploading directly from my GoPro to my Mac via a USB cable connection. This app is the answer. I had an hour-long video that GoPro divided into five chapters, each file about 10 GB. This app handled them without any problems and did it reasonably quickly, less than 20 minutes.

Well worth $8.99 if you're trying to manage large GoPro files.

Thank you!

Covers the Basics Well!

I can connect my Hero 8 with ease using bluetooth, USB, or WiFi options. Thank you for finally creating an elegant solution. My only issue is not having an integratioh to stream directly to 3rd party.
