5/5Revived my Hero 9
I bricked my Hero 9 playing with QR codes. I downloaded this, and tried the !FRESET command. In spite of it being labeled for 10-12 use only, it worked like a charm.

4/5Great App! Can configs be stored / shared / transferred to other devices?
Been using GoPro for years and only recently discovered QR labs. Labs + this app is a game changer for multicam shoots. my only issue is that i need to have some way to sync the configs I create across multiple iphones and ipads. is it possible?

5/5Fantastic App!
Apologies for the late review. I’ve been using this app professionally for about 3 years now and it has worked flawlessly! Seriously impressive work, especially keeping up with all the suggested functions. It was a life saver on my last TV show. My sincerest gratitude for you creating this app, AND keeping it free.

4/5Feature request : Night photo lightning trigger support .
I’ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with GoPro Labs on my HERO11. The amount of functionality hidden inside Labs is honestly impressive, and it’s opened up creative possibilities I never expected from a GoPro. The QR-code workflow took a little getting used to, but once I started experimenting, I found myself spending hours testing different features. One feature I’d love to see added or expanded is support for Night Photo mode with motion/lightning-style triggering. As a lightning photographer, my dream setup would be the ability for GoPro Labs to monitor for a lightning flash and then automatically capture a Night Photo long exposure when the trigger event occurs. Currently, motion detection and triggering work in some modes, but Night Photo doesn’t seem to fully support this type of workflow. Being able to combine the intelligence of Labs triggers with long-exposure Night Photo settings would create a unique tool for lightning, fireworks, and other transient nighttime events. Overall, GoPro Labs is one of the coolest pieces of experimental software I’ve used on a camera, and I appreciate the work the development team puts into it. Thanks for continuing to push the platform in creative directions.

4/5Feature request
Just started using this app. Maximum shutter is fantastic. The features that I'd like to see are rearranging presets (I made some in the wrong order. OCD is bugging me). Also to create duplicate of the current preset to create minor changes rather than having one to have to tweak
