The GR World smartphone app logo. Graphic: Ricoh Imaging Ricoh Imaging has announced a new app for its GR series cameras. The GR World app will provide features beyond what's available with the company's existing Image Sync app, unlocking more capabilities for GR users.

Like most companion apps, the GR World app allows users to view and transfer photographs from their GR camera to their smartphone. Once the photos are synced, you can create and organize albums to help keep photos sorted. There's also widget function to display those albums as widgets on the home screen. Additionally, the app can pull a phone's location and record location information from the smartphone directly to images, provided it's connected via Bluetooth.

Outside of file storage and organization, users can register and name their GR cameras, which will make connecting to the app faster after the initial connection. With the camera paired, you can check the Bluetooth connection status, whether location information is being recorded, battery level and the remaining number of shots on your memory card.

The app allows users to register and name their cameras and view basic information, such as battery level and memory card space.

The app also unlocks remote shooting, though its functionality is quite limited and is only compatible with GR III series cameras. You can use the app to operate the shutter release or set a basic self-timer, and that's all. There are no controls over exposure settings or anything else, which many other brands offer in their companion apps.

GR World is compatible with all Ricoh GR III cameras, including the GR III, GR III HDF, GR IIIx and GR IIIx HDF. It's also compatible with the GR II. The app is free and available for both Android and iOS. It will be available for download on July 23.
