GRPS vs GR Snap

GRPS makes it easy to automatically start and stop location sync from your iPhone to your Ricoh GR III and GR IV cameras. Once the initial connection is made, the app will automatically wake up and start syncing whenever your camera is powered on with Bluetooth enabled within range of the iPhone – even in the background! This allows you to reliably get up to date location information in your images without having to interact with an app, set an explicit duration for location updates or excessively drain your iPhone battery. Basically, set it up once, then forget about it. GRPS also allows you to easily sync your photos to your phone library.

GR Snap is the iOS companion app for Ricoh GR cameras. Browse photos on your camera, transfer full-resolution originals, add location data as you shoot, create framed images for sharing, and take still photos remotely from iPhone or iPad. Main features - Wireless transfer: JPG, DNG, and MOV formats. Single or batch download, saved directly to your Photos library. - Geotagging: send your device's location to the camera over Bluetooth as you shoot. Route history stays on your device and can repair missing locations after photos are downloaded. - Share styles: choose a canvas ratio, photo frame, brand overlay, camera model, and shot info before sharing. You can always share the original files unchanged. - Remote still-photo shooting: use your device as the viewfinder, compose, focus, and release the shutter from a distance. - Lock Screen and Dynamic Island progress: see download status while the app is in the background, and get a notification when each one finishes. - Camera parameter sync: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO update in real time, and can be changed from the app. - Batch select: swipe to select multiple photos, then download or share them all at once. - Pinch to view at actual size. Compatible cameras Ricoh GR III, GR IIIx (including the HDF Edition), and GR IV support wireless transfer, Bluetooth wake, geotagging, live view, and remote still-photo shooting. GR II supports manual Wi-Fi transfer only; Bluetooth wake, live view, and remote shooting are unavailable. It cannot receive your location while you shoot, but GR Snap still records your route on the phone and adds the missing locations when you download over Wi-Fi. Works without upgrading your camera firmware. Privacy Photos and saved routes stay on your devices. Location data is sent only to your camera, and photos are not sent to a server. The app does not collect information that identifies you. Interface languages English, German, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Spanish.
