Ratings and reviews

Edit again: I've used this app for years for my YouTube l and it works... I just WISH they used more of the screen for the feed from the camera. The image on the screen is tiny, I have a pixel 6 and around half the screen is taken up by buttons that could be smaller or moved into drop down menus. Such a shame to have such a bad UI for a really useful app... Also since the update every time it tells me why it's capturing location data and makes a LOUD noise. Stop, please.

Since there are so many people who struggled to connect with a camera, here's my tip. I use GM1 with phones or ipad. I originally connected through an option "connect to a smartphone" and typed in SSID and passcode. After a few attempts, when I suceeded, I saved the setting. After that, you can always use the saved setting. Before I figured this, it was very annoying. But now, I have another issue: it requires location tracking even when not in use. Unbelievable....

Update: still a little glitchy with initial connection but much better. Downloading is excellent & remote camera control itself isn't exposures is quite functional. used to be a good app for my FZ300 but now the app seems unable to recognize the camera when attempting wi-fi connection despite the actual phone connecting to the camera. Update: now need to manually connect wi-fi and get a constant "failed to record" - of course it's when we have the most impressive aurora australis in 20+ years
