GoPro Browser allows you to browse and download videos and photos recorded with GoPro Hero 2 and 3 (White/Silver and Black Edition), Hero 3+, and Hero 4 cameras directly over Wifi.

Features:
- Support for GoPro Hero 2 (with Wifi Bacpac), Hero 3 White/Silver/Black Edition, Hero 3+ (all types), Hero 4 (all)
- Fast thumbnail preview of videos and photos (with caching)
- Download video preview and full resolution pictures directly over Wifi/WLAN on your iPhone and iPad
- Copy video preview and pictures to photo gallery for further processing
- Real-time video streaming (long tap on video thumbnail in "Camera Browser")
- Video player and photo viewer (long tap on thumbnail in "Downloaded" section)
- Support to download thumbnails and full resolution media in background (multi-tasking)
- Support for all GoPro video formats (video playback is not fluent for all formats due to limited Wifi bandwidth and processing power)
- Option to open downloaded media with external apps (for instance VLC Player) using the "Open with app..." action
- Support for newest GoPro firmware
- Delete individual files directly on Hero 3 cameras over Wifi (latest firmware required!)
- **New**: Support for Hero 4 cameras.

Note:
- The GoPro Hero has to be powered on.

- Importing of videos to the iOS gallery works only for some formats (e.g. <=1080p, <=30fps, no Protune). Most of the video formats recorded by GoPro cameras are not supported by the iOS gallery and thus cannot be imported. But all formats can be played with the integrated GoPro Browser Video player.

- Opening big videos with external apps ("Open with") can take some time because the video the video is duplicated (which means 1GB video requires another 1GB for the duplicate!)

- The Wifi speed of the GoPro cameras is only around 100 to 400 kB/second which means that file downloads of full resolution photos and preview videos can take some time.

Important note for Hero 3 Black Edition users (ONLY for FIRMWARE older than 29-JULY-2013): to enable Wifi access on the Black Edition you have to copy a file to the SD card on your GoPro. The file with detailed instructions is available here: http://www.tequnique.com/goprobrowser

Pros and cons of Photo and Video Browser for GoPro Hero Cameras (Wifi) app for iPhone and iPad

Photo and Video Browser for GoPro Hero Cameras (Wifi) app good for

Wanted an App like this for a long time! its great to use when Im away from a computer, now I dont have to buy Apples Adapter, i can also edit videos from iMovie with this! Overall: A must have for any GoPro user!

With this app I can download videos and photos to my iPad directly from my GoPro Hero Silver camera. I have the choice of either downloading the Thumbnail (low resolution preview) or the full-quality version as taken by the GoPro. I can then view the files and also use an iPad app to make videos that, as far as I know, use and keep the full quality of the clips. I have used this extensively with 1080p 30 fps clips. I havent tried other resolutions or frame rates. The app from GoPro is great for controlling the camera remotely but only downloads preview quality to my iPad. So, by using both apps I have great flexibility and usage. I am using a 32 GB iPad 2.

Some bad moments

I was told by Harold Meyer to delete and download again. However in being asked to purchase it again not pull from the cloud

Hero Black 3 HD - funktioniert trotz autoexec.ash nicht ... schwach!!!

App cant connect to camera.... Where is the problem? Can anybody help me?

Set to a hero 2 by default, will not allow you to select any other camera from the drop menu. Cant do a single thing with it

Well this app is now useless with the new hero 3 firmware update

Its not able to bring up any photos or vids from any files off my ipad 2
