1. 3/5Recently tested, needs improvement!

   Ok the app needs to support autofocus and the gimbal wheel needs to support zooming. Updates needed: 1. -wheel in zoom or any other mode = Autofocus on. 2. -wheel in focus mode needs to allow autofocus then provide manual override once the wheel is turned. 2.1. -Autofocus while wheel mode should be a selectable on-off option under config settings. 3. -active wheel functions (focus, zoom, light control, spin, & tilt) should be selectable under config settings so user can configure to their own use. Most importantly make saving long videos mission critical. Do this by writing to App storage first, then transferring to Photo storage then if there is a problem, saving two photos storage, you have the option to go back and re-export without losing the video. If you want a QA reviewer, I would be happy to do it for name credit only. out of all the gimbal, I’ve tested I like the Hoheim hardware, the best, and the software needs to be severely upgraded to reflect the quality of the hardware. I would like to see that happen and contribute to making that happen.

2. 1/5Face Tracking

   The functionality of the face tracking feature is terrible after the latest update. There used to be a button to select face or object tracking and then the system would do its magic. It was great because I have to shoot video of myself by myself and it acts like a virtual cameraman. Now you can’t really select a face to track from behind the camera when you need to be in front of it. Very disappointed. This was the only reason I got this gimbal. Virtually worthless for me now. Please bring back that button for selecting face tracking or object tracking 🙏🙏🙏.

3. 3/5Getting better needs work

   Honestly, this app has gotten a lot better That said it definitely needs help with camera focus. It is not as reliable as it needs to be I really like the AI tracking where you can draw on any object, but that needs a little bit of tweaking as well because it does lose track of that item quite easily and doesn’t always work I also experienced issues With the gesture, not working sometimes Other than that, it has better white balance than iPhone camera app Also, I noticed a downgrade in quality via the iPhone camera app Definitely not that far from being one of the best camera apps I’ve used to date Also I would really love to see the ability to pair two different devices at the same time so I can use the camera from the phone mounted to the gimbal and my other phone for the joystick remote That would be an awesome addition Thanks Hohem for continuing to make your products better

4. 4/5X3 App update….

   I am new to the Hohem products and recently bought the x3. Everything was going well until I updated the app this morning. Now I’m not getting a picture, just a black or gray screen. Landscape mode is also turning the phone the wrong direction resulting in having the arm of the gimbal showing if I can a view of the lens perspective to show. That being said. I’m not sure if the app update caused these issues or am I, a newer user doing something wrong? Things seemed fine prior to the app update.

5. 1/5Completely Broken App

   This app is a steaming pile of hot garbage. It asked for every permission under the sun which immediately sketched me out. I have to launch the app at least 3 times for it to even get to the Home Screen. When I connect my gimbal the app will do one of three things. It’ll either freeze right away, connect and just sit there, or connect, launch into the camera and immediately start recording a video. I could put up with this but every single time I use the app it becomes completely unresponsive within the first couple minutes, sometimes even right away. It’s also extremely annoying that the app is required to get the full functionality of the gimbal. This app isn’t even worth the storage it takes up on my phone. Just extremely disappointing after spending money on this gimbal.
