Fujifilm is no better haha, they're on their third (I think) mobile app this time for X-Series camera control, and it's still terrible.'

Amusingly, their Instax control app is actually pretty good!

There are 8+ Instax apps made by Fujifilm in the app store. Which one is pretty good for controls?

Thanks! I realized later it was a "dumb" question as I don't have an Instax but a different Fujifilm (just got yesterday) that uses the standard "X" app that sort of works but is not great.

XApp is bad, but its still wayyyy better than Camera Remote at least haha. It's shocking how miserable their software is!

The one for my 2016 era fuji is crap. Camera remote. Usually the connection fails between my phone and the cameras own wifi network it connects to but this failure takes a good 2 minutes to happen. So many artificial software limits with this camera, some removed in newer versions. Why can’t this one tether though? It is literally a digital camera no?

Anyone know of any fujifilm firmware jailbreaks fwiw?

No jailbreaks/CFW as far as I'm aware sadly.

You might be able to use XApp instead, which is still crap but better than Camera Remote at least.
