### 2/5 — Focus control is unusable

*2026-07-07*

Sensitivity of focus slider is way off for X2.

### 2/5 — Verbesserungswürdig…

*2025-09-13*

Seit kurzem besitze ich eine HC-X1600 und habe nach langem Suchen im Netz eine Direktverbindung herstellen können - leider wenig intuitiv.
Die App fühlt sich sehr klobig an, mit dem minimalistischem Design hab ich keine Probleme.

Sehr stark stört mich, dass ich das Live-Bild nicht vergrößern kann.
Wenn alle Einstellungen getätigt sind, möchte ich gerne den Displayplatz zur Kontrolle der Aufnahme nutzen, die einstellbaren Werte sind dann einfach nicht mehr von Bedeutung.
Das würde für mich einen elementaren Mehrwert darstellen!

Ich hoffe, ein späteres Update wird das fixen.

### 1/5 — Nicht zu Ende gedacht

*2025-09-08*

Die App kann nicht am (persönlichen) oder stationären  Hotspots im Infrastrukturmodus betrieben werden; es ist zwingend erforderlich das Kameraeigene WLAN zu nutzen. Das hat aber zur Folge dass alle anderen Apps auf dem iPad auf die Schnauze fallen weil die Cam als solche eben KEIN Internet bietet.  Das ist so wenig zu Ende gedacht dass ich nur hoffen kann dass das eingesparte Hirnschmalz in die Entwicklung der Kamera versenkt wurde ….

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-04-11*

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.

### 5/5 — Low IQ-bros crying

*2025-02-07*

I feel sorry for the low IQ people. Not smart enough to find a “how to” in YouTube. May that’s the wrong camera for u guy’s… The app works just fine

### 1/5 — Sehr schlechte App

*2025-01-07*

Sehr schade, dass Panasonic diese App nicht weiter entwickelt. Leider z. Zt. für den praktischen Einsatz NICHT geeignet!

### 1/5 — Connecting

*2024-10-12*

Does not connect to Panasonic HC-X2.

### 1/5 — Schlechte App

*2024-03-03*

So eine grauenhafte APP hatte ich noch nie hier müsste Panasonic dringend nachbessern

### 1/5 — Poor usability

*2024-02-05*

Poor usability and won’t connect to the camera

### 1/5 — worst app possible

*2023-11-09*

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
