Love the Leica lux hand grip in Italy

No Pro perpetual license

Rent-seekers will receive 1-star reviews until perpetual licenses become available. I certainly enjoyed my trial period, but regardless of how enjoyable the trial is, I’m not paying a subscription for a damn camera app.

Keeps asking for photo permissions

I don't like apps gaining access to my entire photo library so I have Lux set to access only selected photos in my library. But every time I open the app, it prompts me to select either my current setting or to allow total access. This gets in the way of quickly opening Lux via the Action Button and is a huge annoyance. Please remove this barrier! 🙏🏽

Bad User Loyalty

As some one who purchased the LUX Grip and the Leica leather case as separate purchases last year, only for them to offer to offer a bundle that provides a lifetime Lux Pro offer and not provided a way for existing customers a way to purchase the palm is really bad experience, this is a bad experience. So those of us who bought the products early are stuck paying $70 a year. While new purchases can get a lifetime license. Shame on Leica.
