Ratings and reviews

Using this app for simple remote control is frustrating. It can connect to the camera fine and take a picture, but then when I click on the thumbnail of the picture I just took, it takes me to a list of every picture I have ever taken and scrolls to the very oldest one (not the thumbnail I clicked). Then I have to scroll past thousands of photos to the very top of the list to see the picture I just took. This seems like the most common task I would want to do in this app, and it's very clunky.

About half the time it doesn't connect to my camera. Constantly pesters me with notifications from the "timeline" which I don't need or care about. The biggest annoyance is that there's no way to set a permanent filter to only transfer JPGs. I don't ever want to import a raw file, yet every time I go to import I have to reset the filter to jpg only or sort through all my raws to find the edited jpg. A huge step backwards from the previous transfer app.

Since the newest firmware update, this app won't connect to my camera at all. I've reinstalled the app twice; no difference. Previous versions were buggy, but now it's completely useless. I've invested many thousands in Fujifilm equipment over the years and am in disbelief as to how shoddy the software rollout has been. No longer recommending this system to follow photographers.
