Samsung SMART CAMERA App 4+

It’s been a year, and thought I would try again. Camera has sat in a drawer. Still unable to connect the camera to the iPad using the app, WiFi, Bluetooth or camera adapter. Chatted with Samsung tech and told the only way to connect is Bluetooth. Still doe not connect. Then told it isn’t compatible with Apple. Useless app and camera for me. I know it isn’t an Apple product, but why have an app for it?

This is my first review, but I felt strongly enough about the poor performance of the app to write one. I have the samsung ek-gc200 camera. I also use an iPad Pro. Unable to get my pictures onto the pro. I bought the micro to sd card camera reader, and nothing. I downloaded this app, and just continues to tell me to connect to the cameras WiFi network (no network detected). I just chatted with Samsung tech, and the results were not good. I was told that the app is not compatible with apple. What? I downloaded the app via Apple App Store onto my iPad Pro. How can it not be compatible with Apple. Then I was told I just have to wait for an update to the app, making my Samsung camera useless. I have a Kodak camera that does just fine. No problems using the card reader to download. Not an Apple issue, not a Kodak issue, strictly Samsung. Very disappointed.

Ok, I so I use both Samsung gear, NX series DSLR and their Galaxy 2 cameras. Have their 12” and 8” tablets w pens. Then I also have the old Note 3 which is a backup ph. However ai primarily use iPad Pro’s 12 and 10 and my daily IPhone 8 along w a Nikon and Canon DSLR. THOUGHT wouldn’t it be cool to have this app to automatically load photos onto my iPad or even my phone when I’m doing travel shoots. I can sync w Bluetooth to my galaxy gear and I believe a cloud. But this would have been so nice IF IT WORKED!

Now bottom line.... doesn’t even LOAD! I had to crack up laughing! After a good laugh I realized that if this where my company and something with my name on it performed as problematic as this, whoever was responsible would truly be fired. To think it doesn’t reflect poorly is a real lack of good common business sense. Of course it does! Not as much on end of Apple as it does with Samsung!

This is a real embarrassment to Samsung if they can’t see that, they need some changes. Man the growth potential of this had it been launched correctly! A little imagination goes along way! This was a bomb explosion in the face of Samsung. Fire the idiot who allows this app to ever see the light of day!

Since iOS 13...I can no longer use my trusted WB800F WiFi Camera. I really liked the WiFi connection my Samsung had through this camera app to transfer pictures and videos to iPAD, I EVEN BOUGHT A SECOND WB800 F and gave my first one to my daughter! We travel extensively and there are always hundreds and hundreds of pix and vids to transfer and edit, but now these cameras are useless UNTIL THIS CAMERA APP IS UPDATED. As a Samsung loyalty customer—our TV is also SAMSUNG! —I am now losing hope in Samsung, if they choose to throw their good customers “ under the bus” and drop their support to the WiFi transfer app. PLEASE UPDATE!

Here is an EARLIER review I wrote about my WB800 F WiFi camera together with this camera app:

Awesome! awesome! Awesome! This is a FANTASTIC camera app. It is loaded with features. Thank you, Samsung for fixing the incompatibility issue with iOS 8. My faith in Samsung has been restored. This app, together with my Samsung WB800F is an engineering feat of technology and so much fun to use. I can't say enough about this feature-loaded camera when paired through this camera app.
