I've made a lot of bad decisions in my life, buying this is one of them. I wish I could return this camera even for half its price. The UX is terrible, I have constantly to switch between a network with an internet connection and the camera just to update its firmware. Used insta360 player to play some of my videos on a SD Card, it couldn't locate the folder. There was that time I took a video, in the middle of the recording the camera froze, I held the power button but it didn't work. Smh.

Does not connect to OnePlus 6 phone. Endless dance connecting to WiFi and back. Was promised free selfie stick with purchase, which they did not deliver, then blamed me for not checking out correctly. No response to this review! It seems the iPhone software actually works. Now I have to carry my underpowered iPhone 6 to use the camera. Please fix this Android App for Android phones 😡 Update 04-24-2020. Nearly a year later and still no software fixes. E.O.Life👎👎👎

This app is functional once you manage to connect the camera. However 1) it really needs a way to batch process images. - Batch convert HDR photos - Batch save to local (You can do this only by selecting individual files, the moment you have multiple selections. The option to save locally is gone) 2) When taking HDR photos , you should be able to change the base exposure. Often the HDR photos are too bright for how much light is in the environment. E.g. In dimly lit room, with some bright well let object. (FYI , HDR video lets you change the base exposure, which I highly appreciate)

This app needs a setting for photo image quality setting as the JPG compression of the camera is currently too strong often resulting in compression artefacts. It's a shame as RAW images have much greater detail that gets lost in the heavy compression process. Also the RAW setting only works when the app is running and connected to the camera. As soon as you disconnect and close the app the camera forgets this setting and only saves JPGs. This needs to be fixed.

Surprised to see I'm only the second person to review this app. There must not be a lot of Android users yet for this camera. I can't get the wifi to connect and there is little support from insta360. I tried 3 devices which are labeled as compatible, it's either the app or the camera itself but until i figure it out, a 1 star it is for this. edit: I have since been able to get a connection between the camera and Android device and it works well.

If you're having trouble connecting for the first time, turn off your data and Bluetooth. Turn on wireless, connect to the camera, then switch to your home network to register. This is only necessary the first time. Worked on my OnePlus 6 but took me an hour. This app does what it does well, but drains the battery in the background. I have to force stop it after I exit. It also asks for many questionable permissions. Although it's probably spyware, 3 stars for nice UI and accurate stitching.
