So easily installed and working on my hubby’s android. But so much trouble on my iPhone. I only successfully connected it once. After that, it doesn’t seem to work. It’s been a pain trying to figure out how to make it work. Unable to connect via Bluetooth. Why must it be through WiFi??? Wish they could fix these issues.


Works for what it is

Not perfect. Little slow. But seriously for what it is, this app works fine. If I was working on set somewhere I probably would not use this app but for the average consumer it works wonders. Being able to place my camera on a tripod and walk away and show a client the feed is nifty. Transfer photos and videos slowly to your phone works fine too. Wish connection was faster but giving 5 stars to offset all the pointless 1 or 2 star reviews.

Now broken with iOS 14

This was an awesome app, super convenient to transfer pics to my device. With the iOS 14 update it won’t connect anymore. Please please Panasonic, update and fix!


Locks up all the time

As soon as the app looses connection with the camera it locks up and you have to restart your phone to get it to work again. Much faster to just do it by hand.

Pretty glitchy, not made for iPad. Looks like it was designed in 2010
