About this app

We’re back!
It’s been a while and we’ve been busy completely redesigning the Tools Mobile app with a new more modern look and feel, making it even easier to use. We didn’t stop there; the app is now compatible with a broader range of popular FLIR cameras.

FLIR Tools Mobile is an intuitive app for FLIR cameras, and professional thermographers can use an Android device to see live streaming video and capture snapshots from supported FLIR cameras.

With FLIR Tools Mobile the camera can be stationed in one area and operated wireless from another – highly useful for IR inspections of energized equipment or performing IR surveys in hard-to-reach locations and harsh working environments. Streaming video and remote access also gives decision makers and others on your team a valuable opportunity to observe and collaborate in the thermal imaging process.

Using FLIR Tools Mobile, you can do one or more of the following:

- Copy, move, delete and rename image files and folders.
- Import images from your infrared camera.
- Add, move and resize measurement tools on the image.
- Read out temperature measurements parameters.
- Remotely take snapshots while streaming from camera.
- Display an image’s GPS location on maps.
- Display image information, such as object parameters, text comments, file information, etc.
- Edit Notes for the IR images.
- Display and change level span.
- Change palette/color and image mode of the IR image.
- Change general settings (such as the temperature unit) in the app.
- Use Android share to send images to other applications.
- Generate a Quick Report PDF file based on the selected images.
- Send .jpg and .jpeg files from local storage to the app's Library.
- More functions will be added soon.

Ratings and reviews

Connection to the camera (E8-XT in my case) works fine, but that's all. You can pull images from the cameras internal memory on you mobile device, but then what? The images are located in //Android/data/com.flir.tools/files/storage, a path no other app has access to and you cannot copy, move or save them anywhere else either. Folders that are created inside the app don't even exist on the file system. You can also take a remote snapshot. Good idea, but also entirely useless without a preview.

DIGITAL DOGSHIT. Once again, flir can't make an app worth a dollar. I had the last app, and it wouldn't connect reliably over multiple devices. Customer service was useless. I've literally had to take a pic of my flir display, to get an image I can email to a client. How hard does it need to be to connect my camera? Is it a challenge based goal? Do I need to learn how to make apps? Just let me know... I'll say it again, look at the GoPro app, and aim for that. Connects easily and reliably. FFS

Very good app. Connecting my C5 was pretty straight forward. I would love to have live streaming capabilities for the C5. I'm giving it 3 stars because of this two things: - It is imposible to find out where in the device pictures and reports are stored. - Report is too basic. Give it please at least the options as in Flir tools 2019. Ability to load your logo, header and footer config, and please, more characters for the description, at least a page. Thanks for your time!
