Certain photos can’t be viewed by the app but it’s in the camera
This app used to be great, but after certain updates, the app can’t find the image from the camera. The app only shows images that I take by the remote . If I took a picture using the camera itself, it would not show on the app.Peter_0083
Embarrassingly bad
I use Olympus, Panasonic and Fujifilm cameras and their apps. While none are great there is a clear loser and that’s this one. GPS tracking constantly turns itself off so you don’t get geotagged photos. Connecting is very inconsistent and image transfer is slow and often fails. A well functioning app with solid geotagging and painless image transfer should be the minimum. Features like using the camera to do raw processing from your phone would be great. How, exactly, is there R&D time and money for features like AI subject detection but not for getting your app to function correctly?Show lessBoi-NGO
No support, deletes your GPS tracks
There is a “support” link on this App Store page, but it just takes you to a web page with some documentation. I guess they want feedback in review form.
Since the last update, my new GPS tracks do not show in the listing. It seems to just drop them on the floor, giving no error, after you hit Save.Show lessRainhead
Doesn’t support multiple cameras
Compared to most smart phone apps designed to connect and control cameras, this one is pretty good, but the problem is that it can only be registered to one camera at a time. I would bet that most people who use this app for any serious work also own multiple cameras. Deleting and re-registering every time you pick up a different camera body is a huge flaw. the other apps that I use, such as the Fujifilm app, support multiple cameras, making the lack of this feature even more obvious.Show lessB3n S6z
Okay, but with pushy notifications
Good functionality but a trojan horse for their adware. It’s great to be able to download photos straight to my phone, and even more useful to have my phone’s gps record and sync locations with the camera’s photo library. For the latter to work, you have to open the app and start a tracking log, which will increase phone battery burn. The app has a useful notification that reminds you after two hours of tracking, but enabling any ios notifications brings constant spam on every company sale or social media post.Show lessmi1357
App needs more controls
The app is easy enough to setup, but remote control of the camera is quite limited.
The live composite mode timing can’t be changed in the app, you have to disconnect, go to the camera, change your setting, and then reconnect. The amount of setting that are able to be changed overall is limited to only the most basic.
Please release OM Capture for iOS!Show lessZapWiz
Works
It does work and have basic manual control, not like the desktop tether app, but good. It only allows one camera to be registered. Other camera company apps allow for multiple cameras. I have multiple cameras and registering them is a pain; about 3 Olympus cameras.amigaguru
Olympus’s cameras are awesome
Great pictures, easy to import to a smartphone, and especially easy to edit. The edit feature is remarkable in that an underwater photo where the subject fish is not even close to being centered … can be corrected AND enlarged to make salient fish attributes clearly visible. I really enjoy taking underwater photos.Show lesshonofever
Useful functionality.
I must apologize for my original review which was not flattering because my camera would not connect with the app. The truth of the matter is that it all works fine now. I use the Tough TG-4 and when I upgraded to this app from a previous version it so happens that I also had to do an iPhone complete reset before I ever tried to use the newly installed upgraded app. I had problems trying to get the app connected to the camera and became certain it was because the upgrade left out compatibility with the TG-4 but that’s not the case. I’ve since found that the phone reset caused some settings to change. Had to go to Settings and then scroll down to find OIShare then turn on Local Network to allow the app to connect to the camera’s WiFi. That was the problem so now all is good and the camera and app connect to each other effortlessly. I’ve found several features in the app very useful.Show lessBeartrack1
Nice camera paired with terrible app!
I hate this app. It has never reliably connected with my camera. Sometimes it says “no internet connection toon” even though my cameras Wi-Fi is on and it is parked inches away from my iPad. Other times, more frequently, it connects, but either says “no images” or fails to import the most recent images. Olympus apparently doesn’t really care because I’ve emailed them and got absolutely no response. I really like their cameras, but if they’re going to market them as having the capacity to wirelessly upload images, they should have a reliable app. End of rant!Show less(: user
