United StatesThis application basically connects to your Insta 360 camera through Wifi connection and lets you capture photos using your Wear OS watch as a remote control.
IMPORTANT: It is only useful with a Wear OS watch. (not compatible with other watches using Tizen or other operating systems)
It can optionally show live view while you control your Insta 360 camera.
This is the basic (free) version with limited features. There is also a pro version with following additional features:
- Live View with gesture control
- Video Capture
- Battery Level Display
- HDR and Normal (photo & video) capture options
The app is tested on Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 with Insta 360 X2 camera.
Please use the free basic version with your Wear OS watch and Insta camera before purchasing the pro version.

IMPORTANT note for wifi connectivity issues with differen watch brands/models:
For the app to control your Insta 360 camera, your watch should be able to conneect to the camera's wifi connection. (SSID ending with .OSC and password is usually 88888888 for various Insta 360 cameras, at least correct for One X2 and One R)
Some watch models do not support 5 Ghz wifi, and the cameras mostly use 5 Ghz. In such case, you have to force the camera to 2.4Ghz wifi.
You can find information about this if you search like "How can I force Insta 360 camera to 2.4 ghz wifi only"
It does not support To go 2
Actually works. Using Samsung Galaxy watch 5 pro and ultra 23 phone. Had to switch watch wifi to insta360 device but it works. Allows you to see camera view on the watch. Will test out pro version now that I know basic works. Basic is camera preview and photo button.
Doesn't work and the developer doesn't care about it
Doesn't work (tickwatch pro 3 ultra + insta 360x3 I even forced camera's wifi to 2,4g. Still, the app seems promising and if it works for you, I am jealous. I added two stars, because of the developer's quick response and support. Maybe it's my camera or the watch at fault. Who knows
Doesn't support go 3
Does not work. WiFi does not connect.
Works on my x2, i think it's a good app but the interface sucks. It's hard to operate when you are in an activity. I could help you with the design.
