\n\tWe tested every corner of Fujifilm\u2019s XApp with an X-T5 \u2013 from image transfers to camera backups, it\u2019s a solid companion app, with a few rough edges.<\/p>\n

For many years, camera companies built excellent hardware while shipping smartphone apps that felt like an afterthought. That trend has changed. Today, apps for cameras do much more than transfer photos to your phone: they can serve as the camera\u2019s dashboard, providing a variety of useful tools and features, and in most cases, they do so much more reliably than in the past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Fujifilm\u2019s XApp<\/a>\u00a0is no exception. It replaced Camera Remote \u2013 Fujifilm\u2019s previous app that was dogged by reliability issues and low app store ratings \u2013 and the difference is substantial. In addition to manual and automated image transfer, it can control cameras remotely, provide geolocation data, backup multiple sets of camera settings, manage firmware updates and provide a record of your camera\u2019s activity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We tested XApp on an iPhone 17 Pro Max and a Google Pixel 11 Pro XL with the Fujifilm X-T5. While this provides a solid baseline, keep in mind that features and performance may vary slightly depending on the specific camera model and phone you use.<\/p>\n
