Doesn’t Work
I use this app daily for work. At the best of times it is slow, laggy, and frustrating. But now it won’t connect at all, for no apparent reason. So it is completely useless.
Useless
This app is quite literally useless. Just bought my Lumix s5ii that I’m very pleased with. However, I film myself, so having something that allows me to be able to control the camera from my phone is crucial! Problem is, is that the connectivity between the camera and my phone is absolutely nonexistent. It only works LITERALLY about 5% of the time and that’s extremely frustrating because the app is NICE. It has all of the controls I need to film myself without having to go back and forth 3 trillion times and everything but what’s all that worth if my phone disconnects within 0.3 seconds of it connecting? Extremely frustrating. And what makes it worse is that I’d have to go buy a third party transmitter for it that might not even work properly. There’s got to be a work around… If you offer something like this, at least make sure it works at least 80% of the time, or sell a transmitter built for your brand that could replace this.

Love This App!
Coming from Fuji Cam Remote and Olympus, this LUMIX app is a breeze! I primarily use it for getting jpegs off of my S1H, and I love how after the initial setup it continues to work whenever I use it with my iPhone. With Fuji Cam Remote I would randomly have to reset the connection between my phone and camera every few weeks… that is not the case with LUMIX sync! It’s been working great since day 1. Thank you LUMIX :)

Works flawlessly
I have used this app with my S5M2 for more than a year and it works as advertised. I've used it for photo and video and have never had any issues. Other reviewers said it cannot connect ... however, I have never experienced that issue. If you'd like a remote option for your LUMIX camera, this is a great choice.

A Nightmare Painassonic App
Setting up for remote usage on IPad. Nightmare. When downloading photos, you don’t have choice for what folder to put it into, then spend an hour trying to find where they were downloaded t. Constant freezing. As user-friendly as as a Russian sniper. Unreal, that this archaic application STILL exists. Just awful and the reason why my next camera will NOT be a Lumix, or anything made by Panasonic.

Impossible to connect
The paradox of an app called "Sync" is that, as many others have reported, it can't actually connect to the camera.
It also demands that you provide it access to your location. I can't think of a single legititmate reason why an app for controlling the app would need that, so I assume spying on users' whereabouts is a secondary income stream. That intrusion isn't acceptable to start with, but especially not when the app doesn't even work. You had one job, Panasonic, and you failed miserably.

Needs LUT Support
This app has slowly gotten better over the years but it’s still missing a crucial feature: LUTs. If you are shooting V-log, the app does not utilize the V-log assist viewing options so you’re left with a flat, desaturated image. Not appropriate when using the wireless feed for client monitor. Should be an easy fix so kind of baffled why this isn’t already included after all these years.

Good but
It’s a good app when it works but there are so many connection issues and it’s inconsistent. Other than that I would love it. Please fix it and it’s perfect.
Once connected it’s great
Works great when connected via Bluetooth but if you don’t use it all the time to import photos it’s a big pain to connect to iPhone 15 pro max This is after you delete n try to pare again. It’s a big pain n takes for ever to do. Should be easier Says to operate camera to join, but the camera won’t do anything. Please fix the app to make connection easier.

Rubbish
What a convoluted heap of c**p, two apps to download pics ? Confusing connections, it only got one star because I couldn’t give it zero, sticking with my canon and just transferring this camera via usb to my pc
