Image Sync

Just got this app set up with my KP and iPad Pro. First thing I noticed is no landscape mode in the app. Once I got the Wi-Fi connected import is kinda slow and limited to one image at a time. Once the RAW image is imported I can’t do anything with it. The Photo app shows a blank image with the EXIF data (no PEF support?). Affinity photo can see the Image Sync folder but shows nothing in it - Apple’s Files app is the same situation. I can’t move the RAW images as they don’t show, and the Image Sync app doesn’t connect directly with Dropbox or Google Drive, so no way to transfer the RAW images to cloud services. Once I disconnect the camera and go into the Image Sync app the RAW images show as blanks… so what am I supposed to do with this app? It’s completely useless for RAW import and editing on the go. Save your time and buy an SD card dongle. Update: I found a way to move RAW files into Affinity Photo for editing. After importing Raw from your Pentax with Image Sync open the Photo app, export the blank RAW to a cloud service (Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud…), once the RAW uploads go into Affinity and open/redownload the RAW file… so basically download, upload, then download again. Unfortunately I can’t export from Apple’s Photo app directly to Affinity, and Image Sync has no file management or linking to cloud services… I’d rather use an SD card dongle than go through this process with Image Sync again.

I have a Pentax K-1 and have been trying to get this app to work to transfer images over the wifi. Sometimes it does work, albeit incredibly slowly. Other times it appears to be transferring for 20 seconds or so then says the transfer was interrupted. If you've selected multiple files, you have to go back and choose them all again. Honestly, this app seems like it was designed for someone trying to transfer a single picture. Transferring more than a few at a time is a royal pain in the UI even if it does work. Very disappointing after getting such a nice (and expensive) camera.
