GoPro is a special kind of awful when it comes to software. Almost like they want to botch it on purpose: They distribute their software only via the Microsoft store. No chance to get a regular .exe installer. I heard there is some beta group on Facebook (!!!) where you can get some beta installers.
For this kind of wifi usage, wifi direct or wifi aware would be great, the connect to the cam would be more reliable and it could exist in addition to another access point. But no.
It seems to me as if GoPro is basically a shell company consisting of a lot of marketing people and MBAs without technical understanding beyond using iPhones just contracting tech work out to off-shore.
- chankstein38 3y agoThat's entirely accurate! I think marketing is the only way they got to the status they have because while the cameras take decent video/images the entire rest of the experience is miserable. I almost returned my GoPro MAX because of the phone app being garbage. I almost wish I had. That's $500~ I didn't have to spend because it hasn't gotten a ton of use to begin with and partially that's because the software was so clunky I felt like I couldn't really get anything usable out of it. The experience was better when I tried downloading Insta360's 360 video editor! Still not sure what to do with the 360 camera anymore lol but that's my own problem not gopro's.
