It's a complete jankfest on my Fuji camera. The app is super weird, the cam works more like an access point (if you want any degree of reliability), and so many other weird problems. Maybe a firmware update fixed that but the app is still beyond bad.
There are two apps from Fuji and i heard the newer one works better but the older one does not work for transferring pictures 70% of the time and unfortunately my camera is not supported in the new "Fujifilm X App"
Xapp works as well as I believe Apple lets them on iOS. You need to connect via the app, tap an iOS “Join WiFi” dialog, then 30-70% through the transfer it will stop and you need to tap again “This WiFi doesn’t have Internet, disconnect or continue?” and then it succeeds most of the time.
Don’t even get me started on Fujifilm refusing to support Geotagging unless the iOS app is in the foreground though. That is entirely Fuji’s fault and their design choice because apparently users complained that “it was tracking my location when the app is closed” uh duh that’s how geotagging works, turn off location if you don’t use it.
I have both the XT4 and the XH2.
I’m still surprised that in 2024 these big cameras don’t have a built-in something that does gps and sets the time correctly. The current time is floating in the air in radio waves. And gps units are small and with many low power options. Super annoying when you’re traveling around across timezones and suddenly all your photos are in the wrong time zone if you didn’t update it. Or if there is daylight savings update… And for gps, even a ballpark 1km gps range would be better than nothing.
The new app (XApp) is an improvement to the original one which worked maybe 15% of the time. Having to join your phone to the camera wifi is still a requirement
