Ratings and reviews

Best camera app I've used. Connections are easy and quick. 60mp files are pretty huge so if more than half a dozen I copy the SD card instead. JPGs are a different story, no issue transferring a lot of pics. Only 4 stars because I really miss one of the iOS features the fotos app supports. Background download. I really like this feature, please port to Android

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.
