"Best" app for lumix
1 star. Unusable, unfinished, and clearly untested.
I'm using an iPhone 17 Pro Max with Panasonic cameras, and this app is a disaster.
1) NO FULLSCREEN LIVE VIEW. The old Image App had it. You shipped a "replacement" that is worse than what it replaced. Did anyone on your team actually try to use this for real video work? A basic feature that worked for years is simply gone, and the remote shooting screen is cluttered with controls I can't hide.
2) THE CONNECTION IS GARBAGE. Wi-Fi keeps dropping, the phone loses the camera constantly, and I have to toggle Wi-Fi off and on again and re-join over and over just to get a picture. This is not occasional. It happens every session on a current flagship iPhone, which tells me nobody tested this on current hardware.
This is a paid-professional-gear ecosystem, and the app that's supposed to tie it together feels like an abandoned student project. Stop shipping untested releases, bring back the features you removed, and fix the connection before adding anything else.
I paid thousands for the cameras. The least you can do is make the free app work.

iOS 27 update has disabled transfer of photos.
The lumix image app has always been temperamental when downloading images from the camera. Latest iOS 27 update has completely disabled the ability to download images. Only the first image will transfer regardless of whether I select multi download or single download.
A bit meh
Constantly won’t connect to the camera and I have to delete the app and reinstall it.
Relentlessly useless
Panasonic cameras are great but this app is terrible. It just doesn’t work 99 times out of 100. You can lose weeks of your life trying to pair a device. It’s been like that for years.
Terrible app
Wants too much info & I can't download pics without giving up location info. KMA.
ストレス
ずっとずっと、毎回アプリ消して再度インストールし直さなきゃカメラと繋がりません。LUMIXは大好きなのにアプリのせいでカメラを使いたくなくなる。
Waste of time
The app will not connect with a I-phone through Bluetooth or WiFi. Totally worthless.
画像の読み取りができない
G100dを使っています。画像がありませんとの表示が出るだけで、アプリで画像を確認することができない。
Doesn’t connect at all
It just doesn’t connect, and still my stupid camera thinks it is under phone’s control. What is going on
Simply awful
I can’t help it feel that this app was developed by people who really dislike other humans and want to make their life as miserable as possible. It’s nearly impossible to connect. And forget about ever registering via Bluetooth, it’s not going to happen. If you do manage to connect to the Wi-Fi, you can expect it to drop early and often. Apparently 10 feet is just too greater distance for reliable operation. I’m still waiting for an app update to address this nightmare. I think the polar ice caps will be fully melted before I see an update.

Talk about trash
This is the worst app I think I’ve used in the past 10 years
Disappointed
I have the lumix S5II and it’s a great camera but the app constantly fails, is a nightmare to download photos and worse video.
Overly demanding. Doesn’t work
iPhone. Wanted access to location, Bluetooth, all photos, before it would work. I have a camera that only uses WiFi. Not sure why it needed all those things but I don’t want to provide access to them so it doesn’t work.
Not consistent
This app is good sometimes and hard to use most times
I is so hard to connect with phones to take data.
It was a terrible app. I couldn’t connect with my device to take data. I also use pocket camera of DJI The experience is different. I didn’t have any difficulties to take data from Dji. Once again it was a terrible application
won’t connect or stay connected
for years this garbage app has existed in this garbage state. zero helpful updates. It simply will not connect to my lumix s5-ii via bluetooth or wifi. what gives? how is this even reality for a tech company like Panasonic?
Need V-log View assist !!!
Hey Panasonic please wake up ! You made a great app BUT it really lack V-log view assist to be useful for video !
Please give us an update !
Please give us an update !
画像取り込みできない。
Wi-Fiのつながりが悪いと感じます。
カメラはLUMIX S5を使っています。画像取り込みを行うと「カメラを操作して接続許可をしてください。」と書かれているのですがカメラにそのような表記が出ない。改善を期待してます。

Absolutely horrific
My camera firmware and app are up to date. That being said, this is app is complete TRASH! It’s beyond buggy! It frequently will not even connect to my Wi-Fi. What it does it frequently disconnects. When I’m attempting to use this to do self portraits the screen on the remote control window is lags. If Im shooting off-camera flash there’s about a 5 to 8 second delay after hitting the trigger on the app and the camera actually firing. The engineer behind this app needs to be fired.
