In the end disconnecting and reconnecting it suddenly does it all quickly. ### 2/5 — Capricieux *2026-08-01* Logiciel loin d’être infaillible à du mal à se connecter plusieurs tentatives nécessaire pour le transfert des photos sur mon iPhone agaçant pas à la hauteur de la marque inspirez-vous de Apple pour la qualité et la simplicité de la connexion merci ### 2/5 — Keeps disconnecting *2026-07-31, version 6.1.2* Downloading photos from my Q3 using this app has been nothing short of frustrating. Absolute junk of an app. It keeps disconnecting from the camera. ### 2/5 — Terrible!! *2026-07-16, version 6.1.2* App only connected once! Then whenever I turn off camera or iPad, it won’t reconnect. I have to delete the camera from Bluetooth, delete phone from app, restart BOTH then it MIGHT reconnect or it might not. 2, stars. ### 5/5 — Appréciation *2026-07-12* Très facile à utiliser , performant … merci Leica **Developer response:** Thank you for your positive feedback! We are pleased that you are satisfied with Leica FOTOS. ### 3/5 — Camera and app constantly losing connection *2026-06-29* My camera regularly disconnects from the app and then will not reconnect. I have to uninstall the app and reinstall, sometimes more than once, to get a connection back. When I am connected I do find the app easy to use. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your insights regarding the connectivity issues with your devices. Please reach out to customer care via the settings menu in the app directly after the disconnect occurs. The support report includes additional information for us to analyze. This will allow us to investigate and resolve the challenges you are facing. ### 5/5 — Viel Besser *2026-06-29* Seit 5 Jahren benutze ich die App. In diesen 5 Jahren ist sie stetig besser geworden. In Kombination mit dem Kabel (usbc) ist die Verbindung so schnell und stabil, dass ich begeistert bin. Danke an das DEV Team **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr tolles Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass die App ein guter und langjähriger Begleiter für Sie ist und die Verbindung zu Ihren Kameramodellen reibungslos klappt. ### 3/5 — Draining battery *2026-06-27, version 6.1.0* Love this app, works great and no complaints there. However after a recent update it seems it’s running in the background nonstop. Quickly turned into one of my most battery draining apps with it only being in the background. ### 5/5 — Best Camera Photo App *2026-06-27, version 6.1.0* Leica FOTOS App is the best application out of all the other camera applications. ### 3/5 — Not so great after latest firmware update. *2026-06-26, version 6.1.0* It was flawless before the latest firmware update. Now struggles to connect and buggy! ### 3/5 — Pratique mais capricieux *2026-06-24* Un outil bien pratique pour transférer vos photos sur votre portable / cloud. Mais le transfert est très lent et parfois bien capricieux. Cochez l’effacement après transfert si vous ne voulez pas avoir des doublons dans votre bibliothèque. Chargez téléphone et appareil à fond pour éviter les mauvaises surprises ### 5/5 — Verbindungsprobleme *2026-06-22* Manchmal baut es die Verbindung gleich zu Beginn nicht korrekt auf bzw. lässt sie sich nicht gleich verbinden. Aber wenn es einmal geklappt hat läuft es einwandfrei. Ansonsten top👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Mostly positive *2026-06-17* 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. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-08-03, version 6.1.2* Always glitchy. Pairing with M11 is always a hit or miss. Even using USB C connection. ### 1/5 — Не рекомендую *2026-07-25, version 5.8.1* Работает с переменным успехом, пользуюсь с момента выхода q2. Вы сможете подключаться к камере с переменным успехом, как на андроид так и на айфон. Под кнопкой связаться с производителем скрывается рекламный сайт продукции… ### 1/5 — can not connect *2026-07-04* The app can’t be used to connect iPhone **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback regarding the connectivity issues with your devices. Please reach out to customer care via the settings menu in the app. This will assist us in investigating and resolving the problems you are facing. ### 1/5 — Such a great camera such a bad app Sofort 2) *2026-07-01, version 6.1.1* I love the camera and I would love it even more if I could use it as a printer for pictures on my iPhone The app is fiddly and not very stable. I can’t pair the camera to the phone despite the phone recognising the camera clearly. I have wasted days on end with support on another issue, they tried once and then told me the camera is broken and send it in. With a lot of time I found the issue myself. The camera is great, the app not so much. ### 1/5 — Lousy App *2026-06-29, version 6.1.0* Bad, Obscure, confusing ### 1/5 — Totally unreliable with M10 *2026-06-22, version 6.0.3* Connection to the camera is flaky at best. Never connects first time. It’s always quicker to remove the card and download photos that way. 1 star because zero isn’t an option! ### 1/5 — 使い物にならない *2026-06-18* M11-Dで撮った写真を確認するために使うが、ペアリングの時間はかかるし時々ペアリング失敗する。 なにより拡大表示したときにタイムアウトでアプリそのものが落ちるのが最悪。100万を超えるカメラのアプリとしてまったく相応しくない。率直に言えばゴミだ。 **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please contact our support team directly through the app settings. That will help us identify and resolve the issue. ### 1/5 — Just another poor app *2026-06-17, version 6.0.3* Constantly needs your camera to pair and re-pair - just a frustrating low budget useless WiFi app ### 1/5 — Muito dificil conectar no iphone *2026-06-04* Péssimo **Developer response:** We're sorry about the bad experience you had that might have lead to this bad review. Please use the support options in the app to provide more details about the issue you're facing. Your feedback is important to us, and we want to help you resolve any concerns. Thank you for reaching out! ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-06-04, version 6.0.2* The app is useless. It never can maintain a connection, via USB c cable or WiFi/Bluetooth. A good idea, if only it actually functioned. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good improvements in Leica FOTOS *2026-08-30* Good connectivity now, with LEICA FOTOS application. Congratulations Leica team. ### 5/5 — No fuss! *2026-08-16, version 6.1.2* 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! 🫶🏼📷 ### 5/5 — Das Wesentliche (“The Essence of What Matters”) *2026-08-10* 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. ### 5/5 — Fotos gets better *2026-08-09, version 6.1.2* 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! ### 5/5 — Simple, clean, effective *2026-08-07, version 6.1.2* 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. ### 5/5 — flawless until now *2026-07-26, version 6.1.2* Never had a problem in over two years. On a trip to London the wireless connection started failing mid-connection despite trying all solitons I found online. Wish it just worked again. ### 5/5 — 최고의 카메라 어플 *2026-07-20* 이보다 더 좋은 어플은 없다 정말 최고입니당 **Developer response:** Thank you for your positive feedback! We are pleased that you are satisfied with Leica FOTOS. ### 5/5 — The best photo companion app PERIOD *2026-07-18, version 6.1.2* Easily the best app I’ve ever used for any camera system. Connects easily, uploads with no issues. ### 5/5 — Current version much improved *2026-07-15, version 6.1.2* I had issues with the app for quite a while , but the current version connects quicker and with fewer failures. ### 5/5 — Le must *2026-07-12* Excellente fonction! Je suis ravie de mon appareil et de la facilité d’acquisition des photos ! Merci Leica !! **Developer response:** Thank you for your positive feedback! We are pleased that you are satisfied with Leica FOTOS. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
