New Fujifilm XApp Update brings Welcome Improvement

The new Fujifilm XApp just got a software update 1.1.0 and it brings a much welcome improvement: it allows us to use the app with location set to off.

I now have personally set my XApp geolocation tracking permission on the phone to “While Using the App”.

All I have to do now is not to forget to open the App before I starting to shoot ;).

Here are the details of the update:

  • The application is enhanced that the smartphones and cameras are able to communicate via Wi-Fi even if the permission to access “Location” is not set.
  • Application functions that do not require permissions to access can be used even if the permissions to access those functions are not set.
  • The minor bug is fixed that some smartphone models fail to connect to the camera via Wi-Fi in rare cases.

You can download the lastest Fujifilm X App for iOS here and for Android here.

BREAKING: New Fujifilm X-App Announcement on May 24

Fujifilm X-App

It looks like a very long rumor story is going to end.

Quick recap in case you missed the previous episodes:

  • July 2022: FujiRumors shares the rumor that Fujifilm is working on a new Camera App
  • September 2022: FujiRumors leaks the name of the App, X-App
  • October 2022: FujiRumors leaks internal Fujifilm documents that show the name X-App

Well, the wait is finally over according to our trusted sources, as Fujifilm will announce the new X-App on May 24 during the Fujifilm X Summit.

And to be clear: our sources told us they will announce it on May 24. So I don’t know if it will also be available for download on the same day.

But damn, it took Fujifilm really a long time to come out with this one.

And let’s hope it will be a decent App.

I mean, Fujifilm managers recently told us they see smartphones not as an enemy, but as an ally.

Well, that’s nice and good, but in order to really make the mobile phone a true ally, you do need a solid, reliable and feature rich App. Then yes, then the smartphone becomes a useful integration to our X and GFX system.

So, let’s cross fingers that they will get it right this time. ;)

And definitely stay tuned on FujiRumors on May 24. Because one thing is 100% sure: there will be surprises (in addition to X-S20, XF8mmF3.5 and new App). And I will cover everything for you here on FujiRumors.

LEAKED Internal Fujifilm Document Shows Name of New new Camera Remote “X-App”

I have received an internal and confidential document about the Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2S.

It shows a list of specs that are known to us, but towards the bottom you can read “new remote X-App”.

This confirms our previous rumor about the fact that new camera remote App would be called X-App (at least that’s Fuji’s plan at this point in time).

I explained already why the fact that it will get an all-new name is also an indication that it is a totally re-written App.

When will it come?

I don’t know. Certainly the fact that it is circulating in internal documents means that Fujifilm is at an advanced stage regarding its development.

My hope is that they will at least announce it during the Fujifilm X-T5 launch very soon. But that’s not a rumor at all, just a mere speculation. And my speculations are just as valid as any of yours. Only when sources tell me something we will have something more solid.
