RICOH THETA Customer Insights

1. I just spent over $1000 on the theta z1 and I am so upset I cannot use all the features! I use this for work and I can't believe I just wasted a TON of time trying to get the camera and app to connect over a period of hours.

2. I just tried to get back into using my theta V and the app will literally say it connected to the camera, then "something went wrong", and just ignore any connection.

3. It's ridiculous that a prominent feature of this app is a web browser, since you've never been able to connect to the camera and the web at the same time.

4. I had to look up a video explaining that you have to add the thing to your device WiFi network list, then open the app, then recognize the camera, then connect.. it's convoluted.

5. The image load time takes a while as well when trying to view images from the 360 camera.

6. So it means you have to pair the camera with the phone using WiFi, which disconnect you phone to the internet.

7. I finally got so frustrated, I took the camera and phone to Ubreakit-wefixit store and for $25 they figured it out for me since I didn't have the patience.

8. Trouble is I can't see a preview image to set the exposure settings, so I still need this app to work.My biggest complaint is that it crashes every couple minutes.

9. ATTN DEVELOPERS: Take a page from the guy who makes the Dual Fisheye plugins, his DFE RAW app connects to the camera quickly and reliably.

10. I updated the firmware, Uninstalled, reinstalled, turned off my phone, turned back on, did the same with the camera and NOTHING.

11. It only connects with my camera about 10% of the time.
