## Review summary

The recurring themes across reviews are poor connectivity and frequent failures to pair with cameras (via Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth), stability issues after iOS updates, slow/limited photo transfers, an opaque, hard-to-use UI, and no landscape support on iPad. A minority note occasional success with certain Ricoh GR models and geotagging accuracy, but broadly positives are not repeatedly echoed.

### Cons

- Repeated connectivity failures and detection issues with cameras (Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi); the app often won't connect or detect the camera.
- Stability issues across iOS versions, with updates (e.g., 18.6) breaking functionality or causing crashes.
- Very slow or single‑image transfers; hard to transfer large numbers or entire SD cards; overall poor transfer performance.
- Poor UX/UI and high learning curve; setup to download is difficult; needs better design/clear guidance.
- Lack of landscape support for iPad; not optimized for tablet use.
