I use the remote. I thought it would be fine using the app on the phone but phone and saltwater don't mix. So I keep my phone in a dry bag seal and that makes it to much trouble to get to and operate.

The remote is so much easier.

I use the remote and yes the WiFi has to be on. If it's been on for 4 hours the battery life will have been shortened, so if you try and video 40 minutes or more, the battery will run out. It happened to me and I missed the video of a large Thresher up against the side of my Revo with the tail up next to me and out of the water by several feet. That would have been such an awesome shot!

I have used my phone to active or sometimes if I know Im in an area thats fishy, I'll turn it on to try and capture the hookup. The majority of the time I just reach back and manually turn on the camera.

Here are some of the videos that I've made in the past.
