No fuss!

Gets you in and out quickly! I use the app on my iPhone to transfer jpgs from my M11 and love how easy it is to connect. Only wish they would include Leica Looks for the M11! Let’s get on it Leica! 🫶🏼📷

Das Wesentliche (“The Essence of What Matters”)

The Leica FOTOS app has come a long way. Today, it’s an excellent companion to Leica cameras: it does exactly what it’s meant to do, and does it exceptionally well. Like the cameras themselves, the app feels unmistakably Leica—refined, intuitive, and focused on the essentials.

Fotos gets better

Five stars may seem excessive, but this app has improved greatly since I began using it with my Q years ago.
Their “seamless, instant, everywhere “ is certainly far more true than ever.
Leica charges a premium for premium gear, they should definitely have premium software to go along with their cameras.
Keep it up!

Simple, clean, effective

I use it on an iPhone 16 Pro in conjunction with my Leica Q3. Excellent and simple interface, very easy to use and does exactly what it’s supposed to do without any fuss or unnecessary frills. File transfer either by WiFi or USB-C is devilish fast.

Glitchy

Always glitchy. Pairing with M11 is always a hit or miss. Even using USB C connection.
