Leica FOTOS 4+

My M10-P takes forever to connect to the iPhone It displays the message, “could not connect,” two or three times before finally connecting as long as I keep tapping the “join.” It will eventually connect but requires patience which I guess is the ethos of Leica.

Other than that substantial glitch I love the idea of downloading the images to the iPhone. I hope they fix this issue.

The new version 3.3.1 still applies the wrong sign to GPS locations in North America, causing them to look like they are in the Indian Ocean. The new version 3.3.0 applies the wrong sign to previously recorded images’ GPS locations from my M10-R Visoflex. After testing, with the latest M10-R firmware, the problem still exists. Which then moves geolocations from the mid Atlantic States to the Western Indian Ocean. I have the same GPS problem with the M11 getting data from my iPhone. This should be a quick fix. This is a problem with Fotos. For downloading from the camera to the iPad or iPhone it works well. It is more reliable and easier to establish a connection than connecting a Nikon camera with the Nikon SnapBridge app. However, you cannot direct the images to a particular folder. The storage in the iPhone and iPad is limited, so it would be nice if one could download the images to a selected folder on an attached storage device like the LaCie SSD drive. It still doesn’t allow one to GPS stamp ones images at time of capture on the M11 while it is connected with one’s iPhone; as it was advertised it would before the camera’s release.☹️

Well the GPS now records correctly for the M11. There are still issues with FOTOS maintaining a connection with the M11 when walking through the woods taking photographs. Getting either the M10-R or the M11 connected to FOTOS to download images is still not as reliable as one might like.

We apologize for any inconvenience you've had with the GPS and connection in the Leica FOTOS app. We appreciate your feedback and patience as we work to improve the app. Please ensure you are using the latest version, 4.x.x.

The app was great for the 2 years I used it until 6 months ago Leica did an update to the app and now it’s unusable for me. The update did bring some nice features that had been requested by users but with the compromise of the reliability and stability of the app. For me I can’t transfer more than 3 photos to my phone without the app freezing and sometimes crashing. What used to take a few minutes to transfer photos now takes a few hours. I’m one who would prefer to get the image right in camera, and I love how the Leica JPEGs look. Sure I can transfer the photos to my computer and back to my phone, but it sort of defeats the purpose for having this app. I’ve been in contact with Leica support for months now and no one from the company has been able to do anything to fix this problem. I have followed all of their suggestions and nothing has worked. Well I haven’t tried the latest suggestion, which was to delete all the Leica photos from the Leica gallery and storage on my phone. To me that’s an unacceptable suggestion to solve the problem. Please Leica fix your app. Your cameras are so great, but the software side of things is very unreliable and unacceptable for a company as yours.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with Leica FOTOS app. We assure you that our team is working hard to address and fix all issues with the app. We value your loyalty to the Leica brand and hope that you will continue to enjoy our products in the future.
