But the quality of preview is very low. ### 1/5 — how *2019-10-11* 怎么和相机连接？？？ ### 1/5 — Does not work with X1D II *2019-09-05* From everything I have read online, this app should be compatible with the new X1D2 50C. But beware...... it just does not work. Will not recognize the camera. And yes, i have connectivity set to IOS on the camera. Ashame. ### 1/5 — 又一个想砸机器的！ *2019-08-12* 根本不像介绍的那么好用，根本没同步图传，还时断时续的！咋没负分呢？ ### 1/5 — 想砸机了 *2019-01-05* 好歹也写个如何链接相机啊 ### 4/5 — Works great!! *2018-05-28* I’m using with X1D. Unlike mobile companion apps I’ve used from other vendors, this app works surprisingly well. It lacks a lot of features but the ones it has a working for me well. The app includes all the basic stuff you’d expect like live view, focus controls, exposure controls, etc. I’m giving it 4 stars because there’s some key nice-to-have features missing such and the app feels very 1.0. For example, no live histogram, need to switch out of live view to change exposure settings and take exposure, etc. Overall, nice job. ### 3/5 — 应增加自拍功能，这应该是基本功能吧！ *2018-03-18* 应增加自拍功能，这应该是基本功能吧！ ### 1/5 — Crashes every time try to save image into phone *2017-04-09, version 2.3* Only do half of what it is suppose to do. App crashes every time trying to save image into phone. Tried multiple device and multiple cameras, same result. ### 2/5 — 'Save Image' functionality still not working *2017-03-13* When trying to save a particular Image, Phocus crashes. It's great to be able to view the images via wifi on mobile or tablet but to loose quality taking a screen shot of the phone is such a frustration. Would you fix the 'save image' function asap please. Thanks. ### 3/5 — Cannot connect to X1D-50C *2017-01-13* Why there is no update from Jan.2016? I failed to connect to the X1D! ### 1/5 — Buggy untested software *2016-11-27* Recently purchased H6D 100c camera. Have been trying to download images from the camera cfast card using focus 3.0 and mobile focus but with no luck. I am able to see thumb nails of images but the send button is disabled on phocus mobile. Also can't view videos stored on memory cards in camera. Unable to select white balance setting from iPhone. Star rating gray and not operable. Many other missing features. Looks like software was not tested prior to release. When u spend a ton of money on the camera you should expect better quality software. Hasselblad should dedicate more resources fixing their software instead of on advertising half baked products. ### 3/5 — Useful but slow *2016-03-23, version 2.2.1* The wireless camera control (which is free, unlike certain other medium format camera makers) is useful in a studio setup when the camera has been set up out of reach but ultimately the Phocus desktop software does exactly the same thing. Sadly even on a super fast wifi connection the app is slow to load image previews and the like. ### 1/5 — App is stuck looking for server *2013-05-30, version 2.0.1* Bad app. Can't use. It is stuck looking for its server ### 1/5 — Used to work great. *2012-04-19* I just upgraded to 2.0 and nothing works now. 100% zoom doesn't work and image come over all mushed and crashes after 5 or so shots. Also couldn't get multi devices to work. Really needs more fixes. ### 1/5 — Should not have been released *2012-01-28* Every time I try to show a client how cool this app is it crashes! Fix it and re release a working version ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cannot be more instable... *2021-04-16* Phocus app for iMac crashes all the time, Hasselblad not only don’t know why but don’t do anything about it. This app is bad as well and I generally not recommend using Phocus app nor Phocus for iMac!!! Avoid Hasselblad as a whole! I have used Hasselblad film and now digital for the last 15-20y and the brand isn’t good anymore, quality went down and price went up. ### 1/5 — 不知道所谓联机是怎么弄的 *2020-07-16* 也没有任何引导说明，根本连不上ipad，Mac链接也是时断时续的 ### 1/5 — zhaz *2020-05-30* 取景界面竟然和拍照界面不是同个节目，这设定也没谁了，让我想起了徕卡3型 ### 1/5 — The app need to be updated!! *2020-04-02* Phocus Mobile 2 doesn’t support mobile phone! Only iPad, you should call it Phocus iPad! This app is too old. For a camera sells 10000 USD, at least provide some nice support of the apps. This App doesn’t show Live Photo’s via your camera lens, you don’t even know where your camera is focusing on. Neither showing the position if you want to take selfie. Please update this one ASAP!! Last version was 2 years ago!! ### 1/5 — X1d2连不上，太烂了! *2020-02-22* 烂就一个字，我只说一遍！ ### 1/5 — 连不上… *2020-01-04* 不会联 ### 1/5 — Still Doesn’t Work With Mk II *2019-12-07* I love the X1D, and I have both models, but the fact that this software hasn’t been updated in two years, let alone for the Mk II, earns it zero stars as far as I am concerned. ### 1/5 — 专门为了这个买了一个ipad pro 什么垃圾软件 *2019-12-05* 逗我呢官网上说支持各种下来一看连都连不上真的垃圾 ### 1/5 — 这么牛的一个品牌那么烂的一个软件 *2019-11-18* 顶级设备品牌了吧，怎么连都连不上，也是醉了！这种垃圾app也能上架？ ### 1/5 — x1d2 50c connect failed *2019-11-13* doesnt work iPad Pro/iPhone X ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 最新版本好多了，希望越来越好 *2024-09-27* 最新版本可以编辑HEIF格式，大大节省了存储压力，太棒了！希望后期可以丰富镜头矫正功能，可以参考snapped。再丰富一下边框水印。另外希望安卓版本早日排上日程！ ### 5/5 — Excellent tool for remote operation *2018-12-12, version 2.3.2* I use this with my x1D. Easy to set up and use to view camera field of view and controls. I find I see more controls and have more of a feel for some factors, such as exposure, than I do from the camera viewfinder. I have had no issues at all- thanks for an extremely useful tool hassblad! ### 5/5 — 连拍功能 *2017-05-06* 希望增加连拍功能，锁定需要曝光的张数，这样可以无快门线可以拍星轨了。 ### 5/5 — A must have *2013-12-07, version 2.0.2* The best. Works great with Mac and PC. ### 5/5 — Exceptional tool! *2012-01-15* Phocus is an exception tool for any commercial photographer working directly with clients. My clients can now sit back or even be in their office working an view images as I shoot. They can even rank them by priority. Excellent tool! ### 5/5 — Easy *2011-05-01* Easy setup, it just works even in location adHoc with MBP and you have the client away from you. My wish list is to add histogram and focus check ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2011-03-07* If you are a Hasselblad studio shooter, this one app alone may justify purchasing an iPad. Best part about this app is it just works upon launch with Phocus 2.6! After five days of use it has proved to be invaluable. A food stylist can now use the iPad to view the shot without having to turn completely around to look at the computer monitor. It also gets rid of too many people standing around the monitor and can quickly calm a nervous model by getting people off the set, since they can now view the shots from another part of the studio and rate the shots remotely. Works great with the iPhone too. Love the slick and beautiful capture interface especially since it is complete with mirror lock-up. Kudos to the developer on this one. Great job! ### 5/5 — Rad *2011-03-04* Technology is crazy... Wireless photos going to all the clients and ad reps iPhones and iPads... Used it yesterday at MILK in LA.. It rocked ### 5/5 — Great App. *2011-03-01* Works great. Good for allowing remote teathered viewing by clients, especially if you are shooting in a tight space. Also quite useful to do remote triggering when setting the camera up in a difficult location or dangerous situation. About the only shortcoming is the inability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. Beyond that, it is fairly easy to set up and get rolling. ### 5/5 — Thankyou Hasselblad! *2011-02-28, version 1.0* In my first test this is working really well. I am using it to give to my clients while I shoot, so they have a separate place to view the images as the come in, and not crowd around my screen! The remote camera control is neat, and will be good for some still life I do. So far stable and secure. ;) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
