Review summary

QRControl is praised for its usefulness and ease in managing GoPro settings through QR codes, with strong developer support and compatibility with various GoPro models. However, multiple users report significant issues such as the app dimming the screen uncontrollably after updates, white blank screens on launch, and failures in saving QR codes. Some complain about invalid setting combinations allowed and some missing features. Despite these drawbacks, the app remains a favored tool for quickly configuring GoPro cameras, especially users working with GoPro Labs firmware.

Pros

Very useful and easy to use with nearly complete feature set for GoPro control.
Allows creating and managing QR codes to quickly set GoPro camera settings.
The app supports backwards compatibility with older GoPro models and firmware versions.
Developers are responsive and provide prompt help resolving issues.
Offers convenience over using physical cards or the GoPro website to manage settings.

Cons

Recent updates cause screen brightness issues, including automatic dimming and loss of brightness control, making the app difficult to use.
Some users experience a white blank screen on app launch, causing usability problems.
The app sometimes allows selecting camera setting combinations that are not valid or supported by the camera.
Saving QR codes can fail, with errors and lack of accessible image gallery or permissions to save codes.
Certain features like front display options, USB power event triggers, or support for newer GoPro models (Hero 9, 10, 12) are missing or limited.

2023-10-18	To*****	be careful. the app lets you choose settings that are not available on the camera. like certain combinations of settings. make sure the combination of settings is actually an option of the camera.

2023-09-14	Pa*****	GoPro 12 Labs firmware just dropped providing new options for the log and HDR profiles, among other things. Hopefully these aren't too difficult to add! Thank you in advance :)

2023-04-08	Ma*****	You desperately need to fix the screen brightness thing. It's insane. The screen goes almost completely black. I know you can hit the auto bright setting but it is nearly impossible to see where it is.

2023-04-04	Jo*****	It used to work very well until recently. For some reason, when I open the app the screen dims to its lowest setting, the opposite of what you want. All attempts to change this result in the screen automatically dimming.

2023-03-31	Si*****	Recent update forces app to dim and locks out brightness control. It's unusable. I tried to clear cache etc but that did nothing other than make me lose all of my saved settings. Great :( This is not a user issue, this is a developer issue. And replies seem to show they're on denial.

2022-11-10	Je*****	Update issues from earlier in the year are resolved and the app is working great. Appreciate the backwards-compatibility with the old GoPro sessions!

2022-10-20	Ja*****	Very useful and easy to use. Nearly complete feature set, just missing a few things like front display options (oF0). I like the local date/time reset integration, a UTC date/time option is missing for those using auto cloud upload. Has all the experimental triggers (except usb power event). Much easier to work with this app vs cards or website.

2022-03-23	Ru*****	Hello, Im getting a White Blank Screen when I open the App (Attached image), I used to be able to use this App without problems. I tried several solutions I found on the web, but nothing seems to work. Maybe you guys could point me in the right direction, thank you for your help. Best regards, Ruben C

2022-03-04	Ju*****	Revised review: it has been sorted out and my app now works great. The new features are great, and the developers reached out to promptly help resolve the issue. So prior review is now null-Worked great till the most recent update. Now it just stays on a white screen. I hope this is resolved soon. I use QRControl for my GoPros for a skate competition I do every year. My dry run of tech is this month and now I don't have the app to help with settings. Very disappointing. 😔
