### 4/5 — 좋습니당

*2026-06-25*

Usb 라이브뷰 사용하는데, 플레이백 할때도 같이 보여졌으면 좋겠네요

### 3/5 — Not Working on iPad 6th Gen

*2026-05-24*

iPad 6th Gen iPadOS 26.5 not able to use the Flow App.  Works fine on my iPhone 16 Pro Max.  The issue on the iPad is that when you add a new work flow, it does not provide the pop-up to give it a name and begin.  It basically freezes.  Have to quit the program on the iPad and can’t be used at all.

### 4/5 — Works well enough but needs updates

*2026-03-28, version 1.5.0*

Using S5ii camera. Main issue with the app is: body autofocus boxes do not appear in the app. When focusing on faces it’s visible what you’re focusing on, but when the camera doesn’t detect a face and switches to whole body detection, the focus box dissapears in the app. On the lcd screen you can still see who you’re focusing on but not in the app anymore. 

LUTs seem to work if you select them in camera but can’t select them in the app. 

Option to increase brightness from the app, or brightness automatically maxing out would be very welcome. 

Other improvements can be made but all in all it’s really good and reliable enough to use, keeping your rig very lightweight whilst having a much bigger screen to work with and see what you’re actually shooting!

### 2/5 — Horrible

*2026-03-17*

Just updated the firmware on my GH7 and decided to try this app and on the 1st attempt…it worked great as a wireless (WiFi) monitor. Went to use it again and then I started to run into all kinds of error messages.  Only way to get it to work again was to turn off my iPhone and camera and turn both back on again and it was hit and miss. Also…the video display started to stutter. No way I can rely on this buggy software in a professional setting!

### 2/5 — Плохо

*2026-03-11, version 1.5.0*

Не обновляйтесь¡ К камере подключается, но нет изображения с камеры на айпаде 13 Айр.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-03-10*

Does not connect to S52X and the other Sync and Labs apps are trash too.

### 1/5 — G92什么时候才能支持

*2026-03-10*

G9M2什么时候才能支持

### 4/5 — S9

*2026-03-10*

把S9兼容进去吧。无线或有线监看一下。

### 2/5 — Verbindung extrem schlecht

*2026-03-08*

Die Verbindung der App zur Lumix S1IIE bricht permanent ab und ist extrem laggy. Bin von Sony zu Lumix umgestiegen. Sie Sony Monitor and Control hat immer funktioniert und war zumindest mal brauchbar. Warum geht das hier nicht? Super Features, bringt aber gar nichts, wenn ich alle paar Minuten die Verbindung wieder neu aufbauen muss.

### 2/5 — Compatibilité avec Lumix S1

*2026-02-08*

Est ce que ce serait possible d’avoir la compatibilité avec le Lumix S1 pour pouvoir bénéficier du partage du monitoring à d’autre appareil qui n’est pas disponible sur lumix sync

### 3/5 — 可以再更新加入水平仪么？

*2026-02-07*

其他lut什么的我都无所谓了，只求个水平仪，如果没水平仪我都没法用啊啊啊啊啊啊，总不能一边看相机屏幕一边看手机吧

### 1/5 — Well done, …öh not

*2026-01-10*

Ich wollte von Sony zu Panasonic wechseln (S5II). Prio-Gründe: angeblich (ja, „angeblich“) funktioniert das App-Zusammenspiel, was man halt so erwartet in 2025/2026 viel besser als bei anderen Herstellern.

Leider kann ich das so nicht bestätigen. Zwar hat die Verbindung gefühlt 2x funktioniert nach dem 8 Anlauf, dann aber nie wieder so, dass man damit auch arbeiten.

Sie zeigt immer noch eine uralte Firmware (3.1, Stand 10.01.2026) auf die ich „updaten“ kann. Und das selbst nachdem ich händisch (ja händisch…per SD-Karte...über meinen Mac als Zwischenwirt…) bereits wohl wirklich die Version 3.6 aufgespielt habe.

Well done Panasonic, well done. 

Warum man 3 Apps (Sync, Lab, Flow) braucht von denen die Kamera aber scheinbar nur 2 kennt und von denen nur einen Teil der Funktionen … die dann auch noch kommen und gehen wie sie so gerade lustig sind (Beispiel Lab-App: Update-Funktion wieder raus?). 
Verstehe es wer will. 

Und das lustigste: Eine Kamera mit Firmware in Version 3.6, die seit x Jahren auf dem Markt ist, hängt sich beim Versuch mit dem Wifi zu verbinden (welches sie ja schon kennen sollte) derartig auf, dass ich sie neu starten muss.

Ich schmeiße das Handtuch.

### 2/5 — Problème

*2025-12-19*

Impossible de connecter mon iPhone 17 pro au Lumix, ni en USB-C comme sur votre tuto YouTube, ni via hdmi + USB-C (carte de capture vidéo). J’ai un Lumix s5 II… la wifi je m’en fou il y a un décalage je ne suis pas intéressé.

### 1/5 — Encore du travail d'optimisation

*2025-12-11*

les fonctionnalités sont là mais la qualité du monitoring est médiocre en WIFI/bluetooth, et plusieurs déconnexion, bugs à corriger

### 3/5 — iPad不能顺利连接

*2025-11-27*

每次退出app再进去，iPad都不能顺利搜索到相机，这是啥毛病

### 1/5 — Not usable, even in a non-professional setting

*2025-11-24*

Hard crashes very often. In fact, I can’t go 5 minutes without the app hard crashing. I’ve done lots of troubleshooting and have determined there is no user error on my end (attempting to auto-join other networks, etc.). I am returning my LUMIX S1II for this reason and this was my intended use case. Please fix this, Panasonic.

### 1/5 — Compatibility

*2026-06-21, version 1.5.0*

Should be compatible with S9. Stop gate keeping.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-06-17, version 1.5.0*

It doesn’t connect at all since the last update.  Fix it or I’ll go with Sony again!!!

### 1/5 — Poor implementation

*2026-05-30, version 1.5.0*

I’m used to working with the Sony Monitor & Control app and was hoping this would be the same, but alas it’s pretty useless.  The real time lut on the camera isn’t replicated on the app, so only viewing log.  Can’t touch to focus or track. It’s almost pointless having it.

### 1/5 — S9

*2026-05-28, version 1.5.0*

Doesn’t support my new S9 😩.

### 1/5 — 뭐 작동을 해야 써먹지

*2026-05-13*

연결되도 화면도 안나오고 뭔 저장장치 없다는 헛소리만 하면서 아무것도 안됨 관공서 어플인줄 알았네

### 1/5 — Not usable on iPhone 17 Pro with S1II

*2026-05-04*

App works and connects flawlessly. However nothing works, no preview, can’t remote any settings. Just a blank screen. I think I’m giving up on all lumix apps at this point.

### 1/5 — Not working S1 II / iPhone 14 Pro

*2026-05-02*

I'm very desappointed, the app doesn't work at all, either I'm using the usb cable or the wi-fi. Can't figure out why.

### 1/5 — It was a nice app. Before last patch

*2026-03-22*

Black screen after connecting camera (s5m2x) to ip15promax ios 18.5.
I tried to delete pairings from camera and phone and pair them again, but not helping. Black screen after pairing.

### 1/5 — Not Reliable

*2026-03-15*

Flow is currently connecting to my S1iiE, but not displaying video feed or allowing camera control.  Historically the app has connected and functioned, but never the first time or without having to delete pairings and repair every time.  I purchased this camera to be a professional tool, but because this the ONLY wireless monitoring solution with tap focus for the camera and it doesn’t work reliably, I wish I had invested in another camera system.

### 1/5 — 不能回看图片和视频就离谱

*2026-03-10*

不能回看视频和图片，开发者你是怎么想的想采访你一下。

### 5/5 — 루믹스의 환골탈태

*2025-12-27*

플로우 포함 랩. 현재 가장 연결성이 좋은 앱 같습니다. 예전과는 다르네요. 소니나 캐논 보다 접근방식 연결 속도 사용감이 다릅니다. 더 발전하길 기대할께요 :)

### 5/5 — Chill Out Dudes

*2025-11-30*

I don’t know what the absolute losers in the comments are up to but I feel like they should have something better to do than annoy the poor people at Panasonic with their reviews.

Consider who this app is most useful for, for a moment. It’s not professionals who already have sophisticated rigs, quality monitors, and all of that. It’s probably amateurs or (amateurish professionals) who don’t want to take on the overhead of getting a top of the line monitor. Yes, there are useful updates that this app could have that Panasonic should implement, lut view assist being one, but overall it’s pretty solid. The app is easy to use and there’s not much latency. For amateurs, that’s probably two of the most important things that you could look for in this app.

### 5/5 — Amazing Addition

*2025-11-29*

For S1II and S5IIx, this is a fantastic addition to the already capable cameras!

### 5/5 — VLOG Assist got fixed.

*2025-11-26*

Thanks for hearing to us🙌🏼

### 5/5 — Everything works perfectly

*2025-11-12, version 1.3.0*

But the screen turns off even when I am recording. Please add the option to keep the screen turned on when using the app

### 5/5 — Recensione sincera di LUMIX Flow: finalmente un’app fatta come si deve

*2025-11-05, version 1.3.0*

LUMIX Flow mi ha convinto. La sto usando con S5 II e iPhone 15 Pro Max, sia in Wi-Fi che via USB-C: anteprima fluida, controlli reattivi, zero intoppi. L’aggiornamento del 20 ottobre ha reso la S5 II pienamente compatibile con Flow, e si vede: integrazione stabile, funzioni utili in set e un monitor esterno da smartphone che finalmente ha senso.

Le poche recensioni negative che vedo (sono davvero poche) mi sembrano legate a corpi vecchi o non supportati, e ci sta. È normale che non tutto il parco LUMIX storico agganci un’app pensata per i workflow più recenti.

Plus che fanno la differenza:
– Storyboard e shot list integrati: puoi organizzare le inquadrature e poi lavorare in camera senza perdere nulla. Per produzioni strutturate è oro.
– Monitor esterno su smartphone con marker, LUT assist e AF frame: davvero comodo anche per i vertical.

Serve una buona connessione Wi-Fi, ma anche via cavo la stabilità è ottima. Pretendere compatibilità “magica” con modelli molto datati solo perché hanno la porta USB-C non è realistico: Panasonic sta puntando sui corpi attuali e il risultato si vede.

In sintesi: app solida, prezzo basso, e un ecosistema che cresce con aggiornamenti costanti. Per chi gira con S5 II, S5 II X, la installi e lavori. Consigliata.

### 5/5 — 😃 Amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

*2025-10-29, version 1.3.0*

Works! (Update LUMIX S5IIX -> 2.4). 

Team Lumix 👏🏽👏🏽

Trabaja excelente. Deben actualizar sus cámaras, por ej la mía es la S5IIX, la actualicé y dice claramente “smartphone” “Limux Flow”. Súper fácil.

### 5/5 — Un train d’avance !

*2025-10-20*

Merci Panasonic de nous proposer des mises à jour, toujours plus innovantes et d’augmenter les capacités de nos boîtiers, même après plusieurs années !

### 5/5 — They did it!

*2025-10-20, version 1.3.0*

Support for S5 ii was added. It works great, thank you Panasonic!

### 5/5 — 快点把s5m2的更新端上来吧🥺

*2025-10-13*

快点更新s5m2，快点更新s5m2，快点更新s5m2
