It will not connect to the camera Wi-Fi **Developer response:** We are very sorry to hear about the trouble you had connecting to your Pentax K-1. We noticed your review is from early 2022.

Please refund. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Instant regret *2020-07-20* Thought I would take a chance against all the low ratings. App will briefly connect, but I am not able to use any of the functions. This app should have a free trial so at least people don’t spend money trying to see if it will work. ### 1/5 — Not compatible with Pentax Recoh k-3 *2020-05-25* This app doesn’t see connection with my model. ### 1/5 — Wasted $2 *2019-02-13* Would not connect. ### 1/5 — Same as Image Sync but 1€ and crashes *2017-10-24* It’s a bad joke app, exactly the same as Ricoh Image Sync app but 1€ and crash every time you try to download a picture.... ### 1/5 — Crashes *2017-10-15* Every time I try to download photos, it crashes. ### 1/5 — Crash boom bam *2017-10-05, version 1.1* Doesn’t work, crashes every time . Annoying 😒 ### 2/5 — Not working *2019-06-12, version 3.4.12* Stopped working with my K-s2 camera after the last update. Nothing helped . ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pentax K-70 *2018-11-07, version 3.4.10* This just works.... app handshakes automatically when you push the Pentax Wifi button. Then download to your iPhone, I use an X ### 5/5 — Works perfectly with my Pentax KP *2018-04-04, version 3.0.1* Being able to transfer RAW DNG files to my phone makes this essential, puts the official app to shame. ### 5/5 — Works with my Pentax K/S2 & iPad *2018-04-03, version 3.0.1* Does the job that the “official” Rikoh app is supposed to do. ### 5/5 — Works with RAW *2017-11-24* Flawless Wifi transfer of Ricoh GR II DNG Files to iPhone. ### 4/5 — Worked For Me *2024-03-17* Allows for timer function 2s and 12s delay, quick connection. Easy to use. Never gave it five stars because I couldn’t figure out how to get it to autofocus from the app. it might be there and I just haven’t found it. Overall found it faster, and easier to use than image sync. Much less frustrating as well. Used with K1ii ### 4/5 — 👍🏻 *2022-05-13, version 3.4.12* Easy to set up and works right away. Download to phone works well. ### 3/5 — Well done but... *2019-12-28* app well done but currently unusable. the downloaded photos are all black (or white if the dark mode is off). I hope in new updates with the ability to choose the focus point and bug fixed. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Some improvements needed *2017-10-28, version 1.2* Really really like the ability to transfer raw file, but the transfer speed is super slow. 0.7mbps. So a 42mb Dng will take several minutes, unfortunately the transfer also stops and resets if the screen dims or if you leave the app. If these things can all be fixed then it would be 5star --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
