### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-08-17, version 1.10.30*

I have a brand new zs99 with the latest firmware and cannot transfer a single image from the camera without the app freezing. iPhone 16 pro max with latest iOS. This is pretty bad quality control! Cannot believe Panasonic would allow this to exist!

### 1/5 — You no longer can transfer images.

*2026-08-13, version 1.10.30*

This app used to work for me but after a couple months ago I can no longer transfer images from my camera. It freezes, only uploads one image, and then loses connection. Why is it so bad?

### 1/5 — Do not waste even 1 second with this rubbish

*2026-08-06, version 1.10.30*

It worked about 1 time in 10 on Android. I couldn’t even get that low level of success on Mac.

This is absolute rubbish.

### 1/5 — Photo transfer doesn’t work anymore

*2026-07-29, version 1.10.30*

What’s happened..  why is this NOT working anymore.    
My camera pictures are useless without being able to transfer to my iPhone photos. 
Would you please please please fix. 
Thank you

### 1/5 — Used to be mid, now it hardly functions

*2026-07-22, version 1.10.30*

While convoluted to setup, it used to at least mostly work. Now it freezes almost instantly and im lucky if I get ONE photo to transfer (iPhone 13 Pro Max). Sometimes it even transfers the wrong photo, and in every single instance it freezes forcing you to force quit and start the process over. A process that you know will likely end in failure anyway. How fun and what a great representation of your products.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-07-18, version 1.10.29*

Terrible app should use AI to fix it lol

### 1/5 — zs99

*2026-07-15, version 1.10.29*

I just bought the zs99, this app is awful. I’m better off purchasing a cable that transfers the images from my SD card to my phone rather than using this slow app. It’s crazy how Panasonic can’t even make it a priority to make it easier for users to transfer images. I have canon and sony cameras and those apps are way easier and faster. The app looks so outdated, the remote shooting doesn’t work, geotagging also doesn’t work, and I’ve been trying to get connected for the last hour and it still doesn’t work. Canon and sony took me less than 5 minutes.

### 1/5 — What happened??

*2026-06-19, version 1.10.29*

I don’t know what happened to this app. It used to be fine - not intuitive or smooth, but I could at least send photos from my Lumix camera to my phone. Now the app pops up this bizarre “share settings” screen that sends me to a screen with a four-sided beveled box and no clear instructions what to do with it. I’m totally unable to get photos off my phone using WiFi. Please fix these issues so us many loyal long-term Lumix fans can keep using your product!

### 1/5 — Worse than ever

*2026-06-13, version 1.10.29*

This has never been the best app to use. Its clunky interface was always inconsistent and not exactly user-friendly. The new update has broken the ability to transfer or view the images by most recent so it’s effectively useless now.
