### 2/5 — App not working

*2024-11-11*

As soon as i paid for the app now it wont work 
Can i get a refund?

### 3/5 — Multiple selection

*2024-06-17, version 2.3.14*

Overall nice app. But often when you need to select several photos, you can't do it. The program simply does not respond and you have to click on one photo several times to select it. It’s annoying

### 4/5 — Seems really promising!

*2023-08-23, version 2.3.13*

I love the design and functionality but it seems to have some connection issues. Is this going to be getting smoothed out? I hope so.

### 4/5 — Quite good

*2023-01-17, version 2.3.11*

So far so good - - - much better than the Ricoh app.

### 2/5 — Tokens

*2022-09-25, version 2.3.11*

You have to watch ads to get tokens to use the app, I’d rather just buy the app

### 4/5 — Amazing so far!

*2022-04-28, version 2.3.10*

This app is amazing for my camera and is so much better than the original Ricoh application!! I would love to help or contribute to this app somehow if it was open source!!!

### 5/5 — This app is great

*2021-03-31, version 2.0.0*

Downloading photos from the camera is faster than the original app. I like that the UI is clean and easy to use.

### 1/5 — Some Issues, but Pretty Solid

*2026-08-11, version 2.3.15*

Edit: Basically a broken app at this point. Half the time you can’t touch anything after opening. Will have to close and relaunch so many times before you can try to connect. Save your money and go elsewhere. 

Works great to transfer photos. There are a few small little bugs that pop up from time to time, but they are not terrible. 

What is not great recently is the inability to use remote capture mode. With no updates in a year to the app, I’m not sure it will be fixed anytime soon.

### 1/5 — Unable to Connect

*2025-07-07, version 2.3.15*

App not working. Unable to connect camera and load ads for tokens.

### 1/5 — Fails to load ads

*2024-09-29, version 2.3.15*

You MUST watch an ad to get a “token” to use the app. i don’t mind that but the app cannot ever actually fetch ads so it’s useless

### 1/5 — App not connecting

*2024-07-13, version 2.3.15*

The bluetooth and wifi are linked on my iPhone but the app doesn’t connect to the camera

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2024-07-07, version 2.3.15*

Fails to join the camera then consumes a token for that.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work even with in-app purchase

*2022-08-26, version 2.3.11*

Save yourself the money. Don’t buy. I tried the free version but never had enough tokens to view my pics. So I thought why not at least try it with the in-app purchase. Big mistake. I’ve never gotten a single pic from my GR III to show. I’ve restarted the app, the camera, and even formatted the memory card. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Shocking

*2022-03-17, version 2.3.9*

Watching ads to get tokens for an app to be usable? Don't bother

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2022-01-01*

Stoped being able to access tokens and now it is kaput. Delete.  

Further feedback.  It won’t connect to the add server to get an add to play to get tokens.  Still kaput.  And there is no “send feedback” option in settings

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that the app stopped working for you. Could you provide more information on what exactly happened so that I can fix it for you? You can reach me by going to the settings in the app and go to “Send Feedback”, thank you very much.

Update: “Send Feedback” option will only show up if you have an email account set up for your mail app, sorry I should have mentioned that in the beginning. Please contact me at grimageviewer.info@gmail.com instead, thank you very much.

### 1/5 — Tokens?  Are you serious?

*2021-06-02, version 2.2.0*

I downloaded this app with the expectation that it would function better than the notoriously bad app from the company itself. I went to transfer photos today and got a message from the app saying I "don't have enough tokens to perform this operation."  Have you no shame?

### 2/5 — App not working

*2024-11-16, version 2.3.15*

As soon as i paid for the app now it wont work Can i get a refund?

### 5/5 — Best GR sync app

*2024-04-06, version 2.3.13*

Hands down the best sync app. Tried out the app then paid to remove ad after just 3 connections 👍🏻

Very simple to use and fast. Thanks for creating this. Cheers!

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-12-25, version 2.3.13*

Actually works really good

### 5/5 — Perfect for my GR iii

*2023-12-06, version 2.3.13*

Unlike the official Ricoh app, this one works!!!  I highly recommend just paying the $4.99 and skipping adds, tokens, etc.

### 5/5 — Excellent Wi-Fi Transfers

*2023-06-03, version 2.3.11*

Solid app, exact set of features I wanted. Getting photos off the camera is way easier than in the official app.

### 5/5 — Easy to sync and remote control is awesome

*2022-11-19, version 2.3.11*

I’m using Ricoh GR 3x, and this app provid remote control to take selfies or from a distance, smooth and steady

### 5/5 — Nice 3rd party reader

*2021-11-23, version 2.3.6*

Solved my problem

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2021-10-21, version 2.3.5*

Ace little app for any GR3 owner - super simple to use and solid.

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2021-10-17, version 2.3.5*

cool app! it just works like expected! thanks for the good work. i just paid for it right away, the full price is 5$

### 5/5 — A spectacular, must-have App for GRIII users

*2021-10-07, version 2.3.4*

Like many others, I have been very disappointed by the poor performance of the “official” app. This app, however, is a god-send. It worked first time: pairing, transferring, and even remote capture—all worked seamlessly and perfectly the first time! 

Get and support this app! This is a hidden treasure.

### 5/5 — Pay the $5. This is a wonderful app.

*2021-07-23, version 2.3.1*

Smooth, organized, to the point. I love it! 
Tokens are OKAY because such a great app that seems to have been given much time to develop needs to be paid for somehow? Support the creator further and remove the ads.
