Still no official support for the GX7, which has been available for a year now. Functionality is clunky and crashes from time to time. User interface is obscure, with different modes and menu buttons.. But it has great potential and is useful.when it is working.
One big reason I picked GX7 over competitors is for the wifi and app. It's important for what I do. I enjoyed doing that a lot on the Canon and works flawlessly every single time. However this lumix app crashes every single time on my LG G2 as well as my other nexus devices whenever I try to download a picture. Poor app that hasn't been tested throughly, I hope Panasonic will do an update, very soon... Before I sell my camera.
Works great as a remote trigger for my GH3, but leaves much to be desired when it comes to adding GPS data. GPS implementation needs to be greatly improved. Update: App needs to be updated to work on the current version of Android.
This app has worked great on my Galaxy Nexus, but since I changed my phone to Moto G 3rd generation, it is not working anymore. I get the connection screen until the the camera displays connection error
I have a GH3 and this works very well with it, but models like the GX7 wont work because this app is not supposed to work with them. Those models work with the Panasonic image app... so check that out and research before rating this with 1 star. And guys, rating this 3 stars because you cant see the video stream? It's like rating a ferrari with 3 stars because you wish it would fly and it doesnt.
Poor resolution. Slow, and no live feed. Practically useless. The app developers should be ashamed of themselves.
Get Lumix Link from iTunes and use it on an IOS device. It's flawless like using IOS devices to run music app via voice control. My Samsung S6 connects via wifi, but then drools on itself while the camera times out and the Samsung S6 goes to sleep. The App can not connect My Samsung S6 to my Panasonic GH3. I have been at this for hours, and have made this work on an iPod Touch as well as Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. It works in seconds with an iPod Touch, flawlessly in fact. So the issue is either with the phone, or the app. Since the phone connects to the wifi of the GH3, it's obviously the android Lumix Link app that fails here. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app twice and rebooted the S6... Fail. I got the S6 for a decent screen to use Lumix Link, an app that refuses to function on my S6, which makes the phone purchase infuriating, but mostly in this regard, and that music apps are under par as compared to apple. (as a PC user I have no bias toward apple, just stuff that actually works.)
The wifi on the Galaxy S7 says it's connected to the GH3 but when I open the the Lumix link software the connection fails. Very sad it worked with my old phone.
I tried using this with my GF6 but didn't work well, even after I upgraded the camera's firmware to version 1.1. Then I realized there is another app "Panasonic Image App", and now I can use my Samsung S3 with Lumix GF6 via wifi.
Since I updated to Android 6 I can't connect to my GH3. This was one of my favorite features of the cameras but now it's not even a feature. I love my Linux gear but the lack of response from Panasonic is completely disappointing.
Setup in under 5 mins. Control of SZ5 via my nexus 7. Awesome. 10 minutes later, it stopped working because the app couldn't find the camera on the WiFi. Nothing I could do would make it work again. Baffled. Googled symptoms and no help found.
It doesn't work with GH3 v1.2 on Nexus 6 Android 6.0
It does not work on Samsung Note II. Not even recognizes that wifi is ON.
Does not connect to Android 6.0 devices, but will connect to older Android devices. (Nexus 5)
It used to work and I could control my camera remotely. I'd use it with the camera on a crane or Jib. Now I can't it's crippling for professionals relying on your gear when you don't update software.
It doesnt connect to my phone at all. It keeps on loading until the connection cuts off by the camera on its own. This feature of wifi connection from phone to the camera is the reason i bought my lumix in the first place and it doesnt work.
Expected better from Panasonic. Just cannot get my camera and phone to connect.The wifi spends ages searching and finds nothing. A useless app that needs fixing.
It won't connect to the camera, so it's basically useless. You would think a company this size would have the resources to make a decent, and working, app.
This app fails to connect to my GH3 every time I try to use it even though I've successfully connected via WiFi/WiFi Direct.
I connect to the camera, take a photo and the app feeezes needing a force close before reloading the app and everything working again. As a developer it is obvious that this app was under tested and released in a rush.
Takes so many attempts to get a connection between my phone and my GH3 that it's far quicker to take out the SD card and put it in my laptop. Pathetic app, Panasonic
Dear Panasonic, please update this app for the dedicated customers who brought cameras like the GH3, GX7 or other cameras. The wifi capabilities are now unuseful since Android updated to 6.0.
It does not support android 6, so I cannot control my GH3 anymore. Please update!
Why does Panasonic have Lumix Link and Panasonic Image App? They're similar, but Image App seems to have a better interface for faster access to controllable settings. Lumix Link works with my GH3, and will link up with my GM1, although it provides no real control. Image App works with the GM1 (but not the iPad version). Panasonic is poor at software development (all camera manufacturers are) and I'd suggest they encourage third party app developers by releasing an SDK to cover all their WiFi enable cameras. Aside from that, Panasonic needs to communicate much better about what cameras their apps are for and what the differences are. I'm not sure Panasonic has a clear idea.
