Watershot for iPhone App Reviews

Constantly crashing! Wont even open. iOS 10 running. Need an update, diving in 3 days!

I havent used my phone in the water yet... So I will update when I do but I will say, I had a very difficult time setting up the app. On my own I realized that I needed to enlarge my screen, otherwise the buttons wouldnt work. There were NO instructions for this. To be honest I rarely follow instructions but I would have been way more helpful to have specific instruction on how to set up. I just feel like the instructions are SERIOUSLY lacking!

The reviews go back until 2012. Mostly all of the reviews have some complaint about the app. Well, its four years later and the app is still sh*t. You still have to pay a yearly subscription for "advanced" features, Trying to post on FB still crashes the app and the link for app support is still broken to name a few.

Bought a Watershot case for my iPhone 4, downloaded app. Worked for 5 min then froze. Said saving photo and could not get out of that even when powering down and restarting. ( Less important - button 1 does not line up with icon on screen so button non functional without opening case - which cannot be done underwater...) Deleted and reloaded app three times. Immediately upon opening app says saving photo even if no photo taken , and screen otherwise black. Only way out is to close the App. Avoid this product - the waterproof case and associated software - until App fixed; at present it is a waste of $$$.

I just purchased the watershot pro for iphone 6. During the first test the button on the case does not line up with the toggle between photo and video which requires you to either go out of the app and use the normal iPhone camera features or take the phone out of the case to shift to video and vice versa. The focus lock button does not line up with the button on the case either so there is no way to use the focus lock functionality. DiveNav, Inc Please fix this as the app would be great if it worked with the case!

As stated in other reviews, the physical buttons dont quite line up properly to the icons that control different parameters. Its somewhat workable but extremely finicky. You need to hit the buttons with a specific strength and timing for them to work. Also a flaw is if during playback of your video, if you do not let the entire file play through before trying to exit...you will essentially eliminate the option of getting back to the main shooting screen. This requires taking the phone out of the case for a fix. Also, on my iPhone 6s Plus...the slow motion setting defaults to 720 at 240fps instead of the 1080 at 120fps that I have set in my Settings. There should be a choice between the two or the Watershot app should default to the System prefs. Given that the housing costs a pretty penny AND they charge you $2 for the app...it should have been more polished for its release. Please fix!

For those of you having trouble with the app buttons not matching the buttons on the case, make sure you have selected the correct housing type in the menu! It took me a while to figure it out because I was not prompted to do that when I first booted up the app. Once you select the correct casing, the app buttons change position and match up well! Hope this helps everyone!!

One of the buttons didnt work on my 5s phone. It was recognized a software bug. You can use Movie Pro with the Watershot Underwater Housing for iPhone 5/5S and it works great. Movie Pro is a much better product, so use that instead. For stills just use the iphone picture app. Its easy to switch between the two.

Crash on launch on iPhone 6

Please improve the Compass. You have to hold your housing almost flat to use it, dont know if it makes use of the gyro sensors. Also a separate screen for the compass would be great, with a heading line and better visibility for the pinpoint and an bigger degree display. Camera functions are great btw.

Yeah, so I downloaded the latest update and now the app wont open. It goes to the title screen and then shuts down imediately. Good job watershot...guess Im deleting this app now and using idive instead

Downloaded on iphone 4 and will not open... Shows title screen then closes... Need a fix asap

After updating the app is no longer start Please improve iphone5 / ios 7.1.2

thanks watet shot :-) super

I was seriously considering buying the camera case this app is for buy after trying to use this app I have decided to look elsewhere for a case. The buttons seem buggy, not always operating as they are suppose to. There seems to be no zoom but Im not sure as the tutorial videos would not load. Compass feature looked like it was about to load & then would go away. And the albums kept crashing the app. Nice start but if the app wont even work in my backyard there is no way I am trying to use it in the water with a hard case.

The app works n functions pretty well.. My suggestions would be to have some type of pop up blocker that stops the notifications from popping up without manually having to go into settings to turn it off and if there was a little more consideration to my battery life... Aside from that, the housing is a blast :-)

This case is amazing, it comes with everything you need right out the box. Whats missing.... The only thing that would make the app better is allowing panoramic photos!

Case is amazing.... App needs work. The Bluetooth notification needs to go away. I had to risk opening the case in the water. Also my batt notification came up and I could turn it off during my dive so I couldnt use the app any more.

The case, needless to say is amazingly good. Although the app really needs a lot of work. It absolutely needs a pop-up blocker. When your batter drains (rather quickly) to 20% you get to 20% notification and it wont go away unless you open up the case and use your finger. Also, the app is really unstable. Theres no way to close out the app so when it freezes you need to get out of the water to get it to work again. And I hate how the app resets the camera settings every time you quit the app. If they worked on that then it would be great. But what good is a case that doesnt work with the app?

The case is really great, but please add burst shot and slow motion video for the iPhone 5s. Once that is done I will make it five stars. Thank you!
