After a bit of a quirky and annoying start after 3 years of using Fotos everything melds together as it should. Q3 and M11m are super fast at wifi transfer to iPad and no more out of sync buggy filing….. honestly this is such a joy now , it is transparent and effective and the over wifi firmware updates are much easier when on the road. 5/5

Some good features but not great
nejad
-The app has a function for downloading images to iPhone but after downloading a dozen or so it crashes out. Another reason for its crashing is the camera going to sleep. -The feature for controlling the camera for shooting is good but again slightest delay both camera and tge app go to sleep. - it is a missed opportunity that the app doesn’t offer management of the menu items for example changing the order of favourites or other customisable feature. -The Leica Foto app will not connects to the camera unless you switch the wifi on the phone off yet it has a feature to share or forward the images which is a contradiction; for example if you’re running out of space on memory stick then you can’t save your images to iCloud that enable you deleting files or formatting disk. - Finally the Leica M has a built in memory and it would have made sense to access and clear the content using the app. It is not clear whether the app accessing this memory or there are any functionality.

Burning battery
LoveDough
I’m barely using the App but it’s my #1 battery user according to my iPhone. In past 24 hrs my iPhone says it’s been on screen just 6 minutes but has run in background for 3h46 (using 17% of my phone’s battery, with next highest App just 11%). I’m fairly sure that if you wake your camera from the App but forget to disconnect (which is hidden in a settings menu) then the phone remains connected with Bluetooth burning through the battery in both until the phone dies. It might be why I went to bed with 80% charge in my Q3 and woke to a dead battery. Shame, as it’s a good App otherwise. Easy to download photos to phone. Would be nice to be able to crop / edit in the App.

Ok app. Let down for D-Lux 7 owners
AndreKraatz
The app is ok. It allows you to transfer photos and the connection is always stable for me. But as a D-Lux 7 owner I feel let down by the fact that I can only import JPGs but not RAW files. The app doesn't even show RAW files, only the JPGs. My wife has a D-Lux 7, and it is the same for her. When I asked a Leica representative about this I was told: Why do you want to transfer RAW files to a phone?Another let down is that the geotagging doesn’t work. The app keeps recording my location in the background. But that information is never transferred to the photos.
Developer Response
Thank you for sharing your experience with Leica FOTOS. We are glad to know that you find the app easy to use with a stable connection. We apologize for the inconvenience regarding the RAW files import and geotagging issues. We are actively working on improving these features and hope to include them in future updates. Please continue to use and enjoy the app and let us know if you have any additional feedback.
