Constantly Disconnecting
megangorex
Just bought a LUMIX GX85 and am very excited to use it for YouTube videos. I was dreading having to buy a monitor so I could see myself and adjust the focus, but saw that this app could do essentially that. The app seems very user friendly and convenient for photos and videos BUT constantly disconnects from the WiFi signal put out by the camera. I sat down to record over 10 times with the app disconnecting almost immediately every single time. My iPad is still connected to the camera WiFi, but the app can’t seem to stabilize. If they could just figure out how to fix this issue, I would even pay for this app.
Geolocation fail
Eijh
I used this app to record geo location data for the photos. Interval was set to a modest gps update every 30 seconds. The flaw with this workflow is two fold. It’s slow so if you have more than 500+ photos, the camera with fully charged battery will die before it finishes. The other issue is that the gps update isn’t smart enough to take over updating from the last photo it’s already updated. This makes it impossible to incrementally update the photo with geolocation as it updates all photos every time. What’s puzzling is the above behavior occurs even when I say yes to the all deleting geolocation data that it sent to the camera. Overall a useless app, at least for recording geolocation. Given how vital this info is, by extension, the camera is also useless now.
It worked before iOS update..
Liking it less..
I used this to download photos to both my pad and phone for over a year, but it won’t hold a connection long enough to transmit pictures any longer. The problem started w iOS update, my devices have not changed. The WiFi functionality was one of the reasons I bought this camera, and now it’s useless. Fix it, and I’ll update this review..
Please update for iPhone X/XR!!!!

The app is so horribly formatted for the iPhone screen that some buttons are hidden under the time/status bar etc. and can’t be pressed! Defeats the purpose of using it! Pls update the app formatting for the new displays
ABSOLUTE UTTER GARBAGE.

This kind of garbage software is better off unreleased to public. It is an absolute disgrace. It does not work. Terminates connections from my iPhone continuously. Looking at the comments, this is the kind of junk that creates resentment towards the brand. It is that bad.
Barely functional

The UI, prompts and menu items are gibberish. (Not quite as bad as Panasonic’s raw processor SilkyPix, but in the neighborhood). Not sure about other languages. It’s not optimized for iPhone X/XS/XR, so some status info is cut off at the top. GX9 Bluetooth and WiFi setup is excruciating. BT pairing is in the app only (not via the device as with....every other kind of Bluetooth pairing) and forces a WiFi connection for some reason, but that step of the process fails frequently. Button to launch the device’s WiFi settings goes to a different section of the App’s settings. Not helpful. Some features (like Canera Settings Copy) are never enabled, even when camera is connected (above-mentioned prompts and dialog boxes provide no info as to why). It’s as if nobody at Panasonic ever used the the app. If, after several attempts, a Bluetooth pairing is established, and if geotagging is enabled on the camera, geotagging works reasonably well, though you will wonder why the Geotagging button in the app is disabled. Remote control and live view works ok, but isn’t critical to me. Image transfer over WiFi works sporadically, but often enough to keep your hopes up. (WiFi-only cameras (I have a GX7 and an LX10) work a bit better, though not much, and the wretched UI remains). Overall, an embarrassment.
Great in theory, terrible in execution

This app has some phenomenal features... unfortunately, none of them work. The remote operation works for exactly one picture, then an error message pops up, and I have to shut down the app and reopen/reconnect it in order to take the next picture. Needless to say, this issue made it impossible to shoot the moonscape photos I was trying to get—the moon moved so fast that by the time I’d get the app to reconnect, I’d have to reposition the tripod. Truly terrible. This app/feature was a big part of why I chose Panasonic, and I love the camera, but the app is a huge letdown. I hope Panasonic puts more effort into making this app fully functional ASAP.
