Fixed some minor bugs.

User reviews

Useless app

This is Panasonic’s attempt to have you thinking that their cameras are remotely accessible. They state it in their marketing blurb for the HC-X2. One of the reasons I bought the unit.

Connecting

Does not connect to Panasonic HC-X2.

Poor usability

Poor usability and won’t connect to the camera

worst app possible

spent now two days trying to connect my X20 to this abysmal app no luck Panasonic support is also useless I regret buying the X20

Do developers have a clue about UX design principles?

This app is absolutely unusable on an iPhone. You need to have fingers the size of matchsticks to use the controls. This is obviously a direct port from the iPad version which is marginally more usable but no with no consideration by the developer as to the smaller screen size on an iPhone.
The text in help screen is tiny, almost unreadable and if you pinch to zoom you now have to scroll across the page to see all the text. You can't print the help or even copy the help, not that it's very helpful anyway.
Plus it is difficult to configure and does not work very well when trying to connect to the Panasonic X 1500 camcorder as many people have discovered and why there are numerous tutorials on YouTube on how to get it to work. A very disappointing amateur app from Panasonic who should really get their act together. In short don't use this on an iPhone and be prepared to struggle getting it to work on an iPad.
