Remote Control

Please give back remote control capabilities the ability to manually adjust the camera was a feature that we used a lot. After 2.5.0 lost remote control. Please please bring back asap especially for the T1020

Won’t connect to FLIR DEVICE

iPhone and FLIR are on the same network, and discovery never sees it. When I enter the IP address, it says device not found.

Even tried what the app suggests and joined the FLIR to my iPhone Hotspot… same thing.

Also tried after turning off the firewall in the FLIR.

This app is now useless.

I am a tinkerer

I use my TG297 very infrequently to tinker with my cars but after the last update it does not connect to my camera. It doesn’t even see the camera. Yes, I have the camera in discovery mode.

Select all function no longer works

The Latest FLIR app update essentially broke their application. There is no way to save or delete pictures en masse, it must now be individual picture by picture. The select, all function selects all photos, and provides no other option to share, save, or delete the photos. This makes the select all function useless. This needs to be rectified.

Just doesn’t work

Brand new TG275 - tried to scan for device. Nothing.

Terrible App

Great device, but in the box contents it says to download the app to help with transferring files. But the TG267 is no longer supported. Great company for various devices, terrible at making apps.

Camera is fragile, App doesn’t work.

The FLIR C5 camera is fragile. Don’t believe what they say about surviving a 2 meter drop. Mine hit the floor one time from 1 meter and stopped working. My old C3 cameras worked nearly flawlessly being able to transfer photos from the camera to my iPad. Those cameras died, one within 1 year the other after 2 years. I’m now using a 4th camera. The FLIR app doesn’t communicate with the C5 camera. FLIR needs to hire somebody that can clean up the communication mess. I’ve been dealing with this for about six months now, I have called customer service. They have been useless simply referring me to download the app again. I have done this twice with no results. I have used their cameras for 10 years and have seen the decline in quality and service. I don’t recommend the cameras.

Can’t import from Bluetooth device

I have a TG267 and the Bluetooth functionality doesn’t work with this app. This doesn’t match what the manual says. Frustrating that they removed the functionality. And the USB-C to phone connection also doesn’t work either. Need to use a laptop. 😞

Full of fluff but no functionality

Its broken.

Connection error The operation couldn't be completed. (FLIRThermalSDKAdapter.CameraConnectionError error 2)

Cannot get images off the 3500$ flir camera

App used to work well.

For some reason, my app now has a hard time “seeing” the camera to sync up with it. Once I go through several on/cycles of the camera, the app and my phones WiFi, it connects. By when I download all the images off the camera, it freezes in the import window. When I back out, it doesn’t have all the mages intended. To download.

Figured the app needed updating but there’s no update available.

Very frustrated as this is not a toy. It’s part of my livelihood and it’s proving to be unreliable.

Please Hire a UI Expert

Unbelievable how many UI bugs this app has. Touch points are poorly designed, iOS design guides ignored, inconsistent behaviour and plain internal state bugs. Flur either does not have their software development process in control or they are not paying enough attention to it. So sad… and please, I am not your testing and quality control department so spare telling me I should file bug reports. I paid you and you are not paying me!

ZERO STAR REVIEW. Removed support for TG267 Bluetooth THERMAL CAMERA

ZERO STAR REVIEW. Removed support for TG267 Bluetooth THERMAL CAMERA And only kept support for Wi-Fi devices!!!

We paid money for this

Problem connecting to Camera

Will not connect to my Flir E6~XT using share or through my Wi-Fi network. Going to uninstall app because it useless

Remote Control

Please give back remote control capabilities the ability to manually adjust the camera was a feature that we used a lot. After 2.5.0 lost remote control. Please please bring back asap

Does not work with FLIR One Professional

You can import photos and create a report-
But the app doesn’t detect FLIR device .

The app needs to clearly state which FLIR devices it supports.

Ideally update to find devices that are plugged into the iPhone.

Stream doesn’t work

The stream function doesn’t work. I’m up to date on both the app and firmware on the camera. It also seems to have no way to connect to ignite. What’s the point of having a cloud based system if you can’t actually use it with your mobile device. They make great cameras but their software is truly awful.

What the heck happened to this app?

You have just made the camera useless with this app.

Works fine, but you need the right camera

The app works really well to transfer images from my T540 instantly to my devices, handy to be able to share them whilst still on site if required.

I would like the ability to edit them, like change palette, level & span etc, hopefully that could come on a future update?

No control anymore

No one will use it anymore without remote control.
