I thought because of the 3.2 or whatever the average rating is now that GoCamera might work, and if not I could just get a refund, both FALSE! GoCamera does not let me change ANY setting once connected(it tricks you and connects like its gonna work) at least the free wireless camera control apps let me control one perimeter, I think it’s the aperture, this one doesn’t even do that. And when I tried to get a refund I was told to wait for the apple receipt to be emailed to me, I tried getting a refund 5 mins after the email came in and I got an automated message from apple saying “This purchase is not eligible for a refund” not verbatim but close. Horrible horrible experience, I don’t know how these paid apps are allowed to continue being sold on GoCamera Store with such blatant lies.
Literally spent 30 min trying to connect my Sony 6000 camera and it never detected it. I tried everything possible and it never worked. This was the biggest waste of money I’ve spent. If you’re going to scam people for an app that doesn’t even work at least make the price $1.99. Stupid and useless. DO NOT DOWNLOAD GoCamera!
Tried numerous times to connect to my camera and camera still can’t recognize/connect. App should have other steps to connect directly with camera. Should be something in settings.
Literally throwing away money with GoCamera. Does not work at all. Spent so long trying to get it to work just to be frustrated. Spend $15 on any other worthless thing other than GoCamera please I beg you.
I was really excited for this to work, but unfortunately it doesn’t connect to GoCamera . It connects to by phone just fine, but when it comes to GoCamera , it tells me to connect device.
I have an iphone13 and my phone keeps freezing aling with it not working with my camera. READ THE REVIEWS First!! I wasted money on GoCamera, I hope it works for someone. I requested a refund through email as this company is based out of Australia and I'm State side.
Worst app I have ever experienced, i don’t even know why this is still in the market ripping people off. If they can make a beautiful camera why can’t they make a app that works? Very disappointed and I believe they should refund everyone that has bought this trash.
Just wasted 9 bucks on this while on the shoot because I needed to get my photos on to my iPhone to try and edit/send to the client asap.
Can't upload photos you've already taken, and even as a remote it's SUPER choppy and laggy. I want a refund
GoCamera is poorly advertised and does not actually work. The Wi-Fi connection takes 10 minutes and the second you try to use it, it fails. Absolutely would not recommend.
Bought this to be able to share my pictures to my phone everyone said you needed the play memories app but it does not work. I than found out that there are other apps for sony and GoCamera is not compatible with A7III, requesting a refund.
Pretty sure this has to be a scam. GoCamera tricks you by allowing you to control your camera with your phone, but the minute you try to adjust any setting or try to take a picture, GoCamera freezes and locks you out with a loading screen that never goes away. Complete waste of money. App doesn’t even have a setting to download the pictures you have taken to your phone. Why is apple allowing this on their App Store??
GoCamera doesn't even work. I took one picture thru GoCamera and it froze and I couldn't even see us trying to take pictures. To make it worse, I've only had a chance to try use it today but purchased it about 2 weeks ago but it wouldn't connect then. Now I can't even get a refund on it.
I downloaded GoCamera to connect to my Sony A7S and they claimed it would transfer photos to my phone, which I paid $8 for and it couldn’t even do that.
I tried to get a refund TWICE and it was denied both times with no explanation on why it was denied. I’m out $8 on an app that I can’t even use…
I just bought a brand new Sony alpha 7, was wondering how to share pictures on my phone because I don’t have a laptop. It says that you have to download that app which cost 15$ and it’s doesn’t work whatever I tried to do. Just unable to connect. I’m very disappointed in that service. Would be great to get money back
They said it was tested on the a6000 camera which I have. I must have a defective camera because GoCamera absolutely refuses to connect. They never gave the results of the test and the lists of compatible cameras excludes a6000.
That was a slick move.
Also GoCamera does not have a lot of features. It very basic. Go buy gum or lighter. You will get more use from those than GoCamera
Once I was able to get my RX100 connected, which took forever, GoCamera consistently closed, after each photo. Inside the menu, via smartphone, you’re unable to change any settings for the camera and when you finally snap a photo, GoCamera closes, asking me to reconnect, which requires several attempts: my WiFi router is 10’ away from my studio. I also reached out to the ‘Help Desk’ twice, to NO avail. EXTREMELY disappointed and a waste of my time. Worst $8 and want a refund.
Hope that got your attention…After reading other comments I won’t waste my time trying to get my money back. I accept the directions on my camera to be brief/vague but I’d expect an app - with limitless options for character detail - to explain how this is supposed to work. My thumb has cramped trying to click my way thru using just my camera “menu” button. It’s been an hour, I’ve made no progress. I need a drink and a handful of Advil.
Frustrated!
Awful! Tried to connect for 50 minutes, gave up, and requested a refund! I better get one because I followed all of the instructions and have an Rx100 V camera which should absolutely work! GoCamera is horrendous!
For an $8 app I expect it to work. I bought it and trying to connect to my camera and it’s not connecting. Why so difficult?!? Annoying.
I bought GoCamera a couple of weeks ago and had some connection issues, but the latest update solved all of my problems. GoCamera loads faster and there are no app crashes anymore. The only feature I am still missing is transferring old images from my camera SD card to my iPhone.
