Insta360 4+

Why such poor iPad support?

Love the camera, the app works very well and I’m certain I haven’t even made full use of it yet.. But I have to say I am incredibly disappointed with the iPad version of this app. It’s the exact same as the phone, just scaled to a larger screen. As someone that does 90% of their editing from an iPad, it is so frustrating that I have to work off my phone to make edits to my videos. At the very least there needs to be a horizontal mode because as it stands I have to disconnect my keyboard and work with the naked iPad to do any editing. Why not make use of the extra power? I will absolutely come back and update this to a five start if this issue is resolved. I don’t know how I can take this seriously as a professional level action camera if I am forced to edit off a phone.

Edit:
The Developer has updated to include much, much better iPad support. This app is fantastic and an appropriate companion to a phenomenal camera.

Great app but...

I have used various 360 cameras and Pps over the years and Insta360 app is by far the best. Inutive and very easy to use. I have two problems with. The first being that I have original One X which they have locked out of some special features. There are minor differences between the One X, R and One X II major reason why haven't upgraded. Instead they have decided to limit functions in the app for my camera the same (to be clear these features were present for the One X to be pulled later which kind of confirms that it is not a hardware limitation.
The next issue is soul crushing and makes no sense. When using video I can't make stay on 5K. Anytime I stop using the app it switches back to 4K. This not how it functions when I use the camera without the app. I like to reframe which works better with 5K and never or rarely want 4K. So frustrating. I can't tell you how many times I have stopped a video and start again only to realize I hadn't reset back to 5K. I'm guessing that this is a weird hardware issue when connected through WiFi but I don't care if it drains the batter more, just allow for the default setting be changed. I have looked for one and have not been able to find it yet.

Doesn’t work

It doesn’t work, constant disconnecting, doesn’t let you access your album because it never loads, it will say there is nothing in your album on the app whenever you are connected to the camera through the app on your phone. I’ve only been able to access my album twice out of the countless times I’ve tried, everything about the app is slow, inconvenient, and doesn’t work 99% of the time. I’ve only been able to transfer one video to my phone which I couldn’t edit at all, it is impossible to use the edit function due to how slow and non functional it is. Also it does not let you access drafts or the camera view from the app, they both have the same problem of never ending load screens that only end in an error or through closing the app. This app just doesn’t work, which is heavily disappointing considering how expensive the camera I paid for is. You would think the quality of the app should reflect the same value as what you paid, but no this app is nothing but a painful waste of time. I hope they fix this and actually make it usable and do the things which it claims it can do, rather than disappoint their customers in such a tremendously poor way.
