We’ve written concerning the GoPro Quik app up to now, and talked concerning the options and capabilities of the platform; but in addition complaining noting that some options are solely out there to paying customers.
This upgraded subscription provides two key options, whereas additionally having all of the options of the decrease tier:

You can try a facet by facet comparision between the 2 subscription choices on the GoPro Website.
Added to the improved subscription choices, the Quik desktop app is now out there to customers on Mac in addition to the prevailing cellular shoppers. This brings to a extra handy (for any detailed enhancing) type issue, the capability to test your footage, your routinely created spotlight movies and additional enhancing choices.
For me, the most effective characteristic of the subscription is the automated add of video when plugged in and on Wi-Fi that your digital camera is aware of. This add area for footage captured out of your GoPro is — on the time of publishing — limitless.
But the truth that the desktop app brings the complete characteristic set of the cellular app may be very welcome. GoPro Founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman spoke of this within the launch at present:
