Ratings and reviews

I don't know how Panasonic took an app that worked and connected flawlessly with their older models, and then made it completely unreliable. Connecting just to download photos works, but usually takes multiple attempts. Shooting photos using your phone is a 50/50 proposition, and you can forget about shooting videos remotely -- the video gets choppy and the connection eventually fails. Love my Lumix G9II, but this is unacceptable.

I absolutely love this app. There was a period of time where I couldn't get them to stay linked once I stopped using it. I'm not sure if was the camera, the app, or my phone but it's finally working to where I can even power on my camera only using the app. This app also makes it incredibly easy while I'm doing self-shoots which is a large part of what I use my camera for.

Inconsistent connectivity via WiFi. I have yet to be able to transfer via Bluetooth. Once connected, it's good to see images on my phone. But lately that's been inconsistent, too. The app will only allow me to view and transfer files on the camera, which is useless for multiple transfers.
