Connect to the camera using wifi and you can control it with a much more user friendly app (from Gopro) on your phone.

Connecting to it via wifi without the benefit of the paper manual is itself a WTF-worthy process. Even with the manual it was a PITA for me, I can't imagine what it's like for a non-techie.

It may have changed since you last tried, but isn't it just turn on wifi, join wifi on your phone, open app?

No, because you have to choose between Wi-Fi "phone mode", Wi-Fi "remote control mode" and off[1]. Navigating the menus on the camera is pretty annoying - I always get mixed up which button is back and which is "Ok".

I have used my GoPro Hero3 with my iPhone over wifi several times and I have never heard of or encountered these multiple wifi modes you speak of.
