User Reviews

QRControl is highly regarded for making GoPro Labs workflow fast and offline-capable, especially for multicam shoots and field work. Users praise its QR-code-driven configuration, exploration of options, and responsive support. Common drawbacks include missing key GoPro Labs toggles (4K/4:3, zoom, lens options), occasional stability and data-loss issues after updates, device-specific UI fit problems, and lack of cross-device sync for profiles.

Pros

Speeds up GoPro Labs workflow with QR codes; game changer for multicam shoots
Works offline and lets you explore/adjust settings without the camera screen
Helpful in the field for quickly switching settings and metadata
Easy to create and manage QR codes / profiles; strong companion to Labs firmware
Solid customer support and the app remains free

Cons

Missing critical GoPro Labs toggles and features (e.g., 4K/4:3 at 30p, zoom, lens options; SD-card formatting via QR)
Reliability issues and data loss after updates (some profiles may disappear; 'Doesn’t work' reports)
UI/reliability problems on certain devices (truncated fields, not full screen on some iPhones)
No built-in way to sync configurations across multiple iPhones/iPads

Recent reviews

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.

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.
