Mostly positive

App works great with the SL2s. Connects quickly, transfers photos quickly as well. Sadly, it still doesn’t work well with the T and TL2 for years. Often disconnects connection, will not transfer photos and just hangs in “downloading”, etc. App is basically unusable for the T and TL2 and I’ve tried it across many different phones. Always the same problems. Overall, great app. Please address the issues with the T series cameras, Leica.

Just another poor app

Constantly needs your camera to pair and re-pair - just a frustrating low budget useless WiFi app

Crashes frequently.

With the latest software upgrade, the app freezes or crashes, fails to connect to my camera.

I want medium size download back

The app overall is good but has several issues:
1. The connection is unstable, sometimes I need to restart both iPhone and camera to get connected. And it seems drains the camera battery pretty quick when connect and download.
2. When you saved more than 200 or maybe 300 (large JPG) photos in the SD card, the initial connection becomes super slow and sometimes cannot connect.
3. Previously the app offers to download a medium size photo but now it’s gone. I can only download either 1MB or 30MB. I really want the 10MB option back so that I can share/download photos easier.

Thank you for taking these issues into consideration and thank you for all the efforts!

Photos not downloading

I have the latest firmware on my cameras, but ever since the last update to my Leica Fotos app, I can’t download anything from my Q3 and Leica D-Lux 8. The cameras both connect to the app, but the downloads fail.
