Android GoPro app finally released!

The GoPro Android app is now available for download from the Google Play store - woohoo!! Hearing that the app has finally been released, I downloaded it this evening. Initially the installation failed, but after clearing some space on my HTC Wildfire I was able to install the app. If you can't remember what you set your GoPro's wireless password to be, you'll need to connect the wifi bacpac to your PC and check (or reset) using CineForm Studio.
To connect your GoPro to your phone:-

1. If you've not used the Wifi Bacpac and remote previously, chances are you'll need to update your camera and wifi bacpac's firmware. (Follow the instructions within Cineform studio and the GoPro website.
2. Go into the settings menu on the GoPro, and change the Wifi mode "Phone & Tablet"
3. Turn on your phone wifi, it should find your GoPro's network quite quickly, something like GOPRO-BN-123456, chances are it will be the only GoPro wireless network you'll find - unless you happen to be lucky enough to own more than one GoPro. You can always check your GoPro's wireless name from Cineform Studio.
4. Using your password connect to your GoPro wireless network.
5. Once connected, start the GoPro app - and see if you're pointing the camera in the right direction!

Obviously I can only comment on how the app looks and runs on my rather old HTC Wildfire (running Android 2.2.1) The interface consists of a small preview window, roughly 1" by 1/2"; a maximise button, a record button, a settings button and some information on the battery, connection and number of shots. There's also an on /off button that allows you to power on or off the actual GoPro camera. Initial opinion's on the app are:-

1. It works!
2. You can change most (not checked fully yet) of the camera settings from the app.
3. The preview isn't fully live, there is some delay in it updating.
4. The 'Locate Camera' feature might be useful, especially if you put the camera down and it's getting dark - or worst case - if you break a mount and loose the camera. The volume of the 'beep' is quite loud, but if you're at the beach/motorcircuit, the sound of the surf/engines may well overpower it.

Looking forward to getting out and trying the app.
