Does everything it's supposed to do. The camera is unique, so expect it to be quirky. If you are already running camera on other device, look for the WiFi access password it's using. It may be different from the one noted on camera. If no connection contact Olympus. Main diff from original use - camera power now has to be turned on manually. And you have to tell your device to recognize Bluetooth device. Running Oreo on Lenovo tablet and Kitcat on old HTC One phone.
awful. cannot connect to device.
Fails to connect over WiFi and can't complete the setup process. The app and device are useless, as is Olympus support. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
After the firmware was updated using Olympus Camera Update and the version 1.0.2 version of this software was installed the app could not connect to the wifi. Bluetooth connected ok but no go using Samsung SG3. Connects perfectly with my old Apple iPhone 3. As a result I need to carry the old iPhone for the Olympus AIR.
If you have Android 7.1 or greater return your Olympus Air! The app works on my Android 6.0/7.0 devices but not 7.1.1 so you will have wasted $400 on the Air if you have a modern phone. I've been trying to get an answer the last 4 weeks on whether they're working on a fix and they keep telling me they'll call me back with an answer, which they never do.
Use on smart phone and take photos holding camera in a tree, or mount on tripod and wifi what camera sees. Great for selfie,
I am using it on my Note3. The connectivity is slow but the technology is amazing. An option for a cord connection would be awesome. The ability to take high quality photos and be able to upload them immediately is incredible.
Tried using the app to connect but no matter what I do no luck. Tried manually to pair as the phone sees it but won't connect. Tried WiFi with password provided too. So far the camera is useless.
The camera performs great. This software is a slug. It's fine if you don't mind taking 5 minutes set up everyone you want to stop and take a shot.
I have not been able keep a stable connection between the Air A01 and my Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, or S5 phones. Not sure if the problem is the hardware or the software.
First Impression...Its surprising quite good, response is fast, and once connected, its fun, and lots of filters to explore with. How about Time Lapse, or Action Scenes? Hoping to see more upcoming features to the App. No problems with LG V10....UPDATE...the app is very unstable always loses connections, both BT and Wi-Fi.. So annoying....
On both my MotoX (2013) 4.4.4 and Nexus 7 (2013) Lollypop can't reliably connect to my Air and when connected, both have very low refresh rates. Could be network interference but I live on a farm surrounded by 6000 acres and only my home's single wifi router. Also, the MotoX can't open Dial app, only the other apps. Need a firmware update and improved channel hopping or something to improve connectivity and throughput on Android! I still have my return window with B&H and will be returning the Air soon...
Crashes constantly on the G3. It seems to take information in from the camera, but nothing I do on the phone has any effect on the Air.
The "mode dial" camera function locks up my Galaxy Note Edge running Android 5.0.1 but I can shoot stills without detailed control using "colour creator" mode and video works fine. I hope there is an update soon.
My Note 4 crashes any time I change a setting in anything but iAuto. It's fun but needs a fix. Update: fixed, bad phone.
...on my Note 4! Connects easily, wakes the Air up when sleeping, downloads great too. A little latency but it's not an issue. Really dig using the Air, OA Central, my bag of micro 4/3rds glass and the Note 4.
Works very well on a Moto G 3rd Gen (2015). Unfortunately, crashes every time on Galaxy S6 :-( Olympus, please work on better Samsung compatibility. Thank you.
I bought the Olympus Air, installed the App went through the ridiculous setup finished everything even wifi. But once you try to open the app and take photos it keeps saying connection with camera failed. I have a Galaxy Note 8. I tried a 3rd party App it works connects just fine. What is wrong with Olympus nowadays?
