## Review summary

GemIQ offers strong cataloging, sharing, and background-editing features that work well for non-pro photographers and daily business use, with solid lightbox integration and detailed product pages. However, users repeatedly report unstable updates that worsen performance, significant Bluetooth/hardware compatibility issues with GemLight gear, degraded image quality and focus, and restrictions on saving/sharing media. Additional UX glitches (missing search, control issues, logouts) further hinder reliability. Overall, the app shows valuable capabilities but is hampered by recurrent stability and compatibility problems.

### Pros

- Catalog feature enables easy sharing and branding with a shareable URL for products.
- Easy to use and accessible for non-professional photographers.
- Smooth integration with lightbox hardware to produce a white background and support background removal/editing.
- Ability to create detailed product pages and sleek, shareable catalog presentations.
- Reliable for professional workflows and everyday business use.

### Cons

- Frequent updates that break features, degrade performance, and feel unstable.
- Bluetooth/hardware connectivity issues with GemLight gear and compatibility problems with older devices.
- Image quality and focus problems (blur, poor autofocus, color shifts) and ineffective calibration after updates.
- Inability to save photos/videos to the camera roll (sharing/export limitations).
- UI/UX glitches and instability (missing search bar, non-functional controls like zoom/focus, frequent logouts/crashes).
