## What is GR Lover?

Shoot, then send to iPhone—really fast. With 10 years of experience as a dedicated GR user and 8 years of continuous app updates, I probably understand your needs better.

GR Lover is built for Ricoh GR. Browse and download photos and videos from your camera, with full support for JPEG, RAW, and MOV—plus Live View remote shooting. Easier connect. Smoother transfer. More useful tools.

TRANSFER
• Browse and download photos and videos to your iPhone
• Full support for JPEG, RAW (DNG), and MOV
• Multi-select / select all, filter by RAW or JPG
• Ascending / descending / filtered browse, 3000+ photos supported
• Batch download and background download—no need to babysit your phone
• Transfer while you shoot, one frame at a time
• Transfer with the camera powered off

REMOTE
• Live View preview
• Remote shutter and common exposure controls
• Apple Watch shutter for quicker releases

CONNECT
• NFC scan connect
• Bluetooth connect, plus auto-connect on launch

ORGANIZE & SHARE
• Create Live Photo from video
• Add location manually or automatically, and keep Exif data
• Auto artist-style photo frames
• Home Screen Shortcuts for one-tap access
• WebDAV access to move files to a computer or other devices
• Camera firmware update checks

COMPATIBILITY
GR II, GR III, and GR IV series all support wireless transfer, Live View, remote shooting, transfer-while-you-shoot, and more. The difference: GR II has no Bluetooth, so it does not support Bluetooth auto wake/connect or transfer with the camera powered off.

WHO IT’S FOR
GR camera users, creators who need to share fast, and photographers who want faster, more reliable transfer, smoother remote shooting, and less wasted time.

Questions or ideas: send feedback in the app or email app@grlover.com.

### 5/5 — 想問

*2025-10-21, version 5.2.1*

Gr4 這個app可以用嗎？

### 5/5 — The best one!!

*2025-05-21, version 5.1.9*

Ottima rapida e veloce. Il top

### 5/5 — 求出安卓版

*2025-04-08*

因为现在国产手机越来越棒了！开始逐渐使用安卓手机，需要安卓版本，并且开发安卓版本也可以增加一定的用户群体

**Developer response:** 非常感谢您的评价。App 设计的初衷就是让传输图片和遥控拍摄等功能变得简单高效易于使用。会继续努力💪

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-01-20*

Can not connect to camera with Bluetooth or wifi

**Developer response:** please send more information by email such as screenshot or video

### 1/5 — 照片沒辦法下載

*2024-09-08, version 5.1.7*

照片完全沒辦法下載 在download queue可以看到我的download 已完成，但是去downloaded地方一張照片都沒看到😭😭😭

### 3/5 — 反馈相册读取问题

*2024-03-27*

如果相机卡里有其他相机拍摄的文件夹，用软件就无法读取到理光拍摄的文件夹，而且还没法选择理光的文件夹，只能看到之前相机的文件夹

**Developer response:** 不同相机文件索引系统是不一样的，不建议您一张卡在不同相机中使用，照片丢了得不偿失。如果您愿意，请通过邮件联系我，我送您一张SD卡。

### 4/5 — 比官方的好用很多，但有待进步

*2023-11-07*

1.遥控时触屏对焦不准
2.遥控x时建议多一个选择裁切的按钮
3.遥控拍摄后不能在首页实时看到照片，需要刷新一下比较麻烦
4.首页的照片排序最好可以自定义，或者优先显示最近拍的照片

### 5/5 — 好用

*2023-10-01, version 5.0.0*

非常好用！想請問有傳輸後照片標記的功能嗎？才知道哪些照片傳過了。
另外照片能有位置資訊嗎？就是紀錄照片在哪裡拍的。

### 1/5 — App crashes when opening

*2023-08-12*

App crashes when opening, it says I didn’t give the iCloud privileges to it but I did. Plus it doesn’t allow me to request a refund.

**Developer response:** Please update the latest version

### 5/5 — Die bessere Alternative

*2023-08-07*

Diese App ist besser als die offizielle App von Ricoh. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung! Wir freuen uns, dass Sie unsere App als besser als die offizielle App von Ricoh empfinden. Wir werden weiterhin unser Bestes geben, um sicherzustellen, dass unsere App Ihre Erwartungen erfüllt.
