Unusable

Used to be able to connect my phone to the cameras WiFi and transfer photos. But now, I can’t open the app without an internet connection or without signing in to an account. Never had to do that when I used it in the past. So basically can not be used to transfer photos or control the camera anymore.

App and phone do not stay connected

I used to use this app easily all the time and now it has stopped being able to “talk” to my phone. The WiFi option doesn’t stay connected anymore. It used to be so easy to download my pictures to my phone but now it doesn’t work anymore.
