### 1/5 — iPhone 13

*2023-03-25*

I can’t Wi-Fi my pictures from my Tough to my IPhone 13 like I did pre Covid. Does OLY have a virus or something. It sure would be nice.

### 1/5 — Won’t even open, total waste of money.

*2019-10-13, version 2.0.0*

Very poor app

### 1/5 — Stopped working!

*2018-08-06, version 2.0.0*

I used to be able to use this app.  And it was great (convenient) to take my camera manual with me on my iPad.  But now it stopped working. Anytime I try to open the app, it kicks me out! I guess the app has not been updated for the latest iOS.  I don’t really know.  What I do know is it stopped working!  Annoying!

### 1/5 — Save your money

*2018-02-17, version 2.0.0*

Download the manual from Olympus and view in PDF viewer.  I thought it would be something better then OEM manual but it is exactly the Olympus manual.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2017-01-08, version 1.1.0*

Like in title. There're manuals you can download free from Olumpus site...
