Ratings and reviews

Tbh the app itself is pretty good. It lets me transfers the photos fast and I'm able to connect my Q3 just fine. But I'm docking a star because I still have some trouble connecting my Q2 Monochrom using Leica FOTOS. And I'm definitely docking another star because for whatever reason, at least as of today, I can only have a maximum of 6 Leica Looks on my Q3... even though there's much more than 6. So, even though I like using all of them, I'm limited to picking and choosing everytime. Bummer!

Now that that is fixed. A new issue has arisen. I can print some images from my camera roll. When connected with the Leica photo app but not all. I thought maybe it was size of file. But I've tried various sizes. I've even resized and recropped images to no avail. The phone shows like it's about to print than nothing happens. And the camera stays with image of the camera and phone next to each other. Until I cycle the camera off and then on again. No error messages.

This app is very difficult. The input panel to enter the WiFi password is incredibly difficult to use, and I have never been able to connect to the WiFi because my password has an assortment of numbers, letters, special symbols, etc and I simply haven't been able to get the password inputted correctly. I did manage to connect it to my phone directly through bluetooth, but the photos go away if you disconnect the camera unless you laboriously manually download each photo individually. There should be a windows app that allows you to do the same onto your computer, which is where you want them if you are going to manipulate or photoshop them. On a scale of A through F, I give it a D.
