Ratings and reviews

Can only share with Sony Cloud. Cannot transfer anywhere else, on wifi or bluetooth. Cannot store locally on phone to upload to computer. Cannot share via email or text. Can ONLY share to Sony Cloud. Isn't that odd? That it CAN share it with Sony cloud, but nothing else? In addition to being useless for sharing photos, it also disconnects (FX3) constantly and takes a while to reconnect each time. App will not close, ever. They should just delete this from the store. Truly, truly terrible app.

Tried to connect my Sony a7 IV and it simply will not connect. I had to give up and just live without any smartphone integration. App says it is pairing and to press "ok" button on my camera screen, but there is no ok button shown. It's freaking unbelievable to me that you can buy a $2k camera from a world class company like Sony and it can't even connect to your phone solely because the app is so poorly coded. How can the camera be so great and this app be so bad? Unbelievable.

Something changed. I sued to use it all the time, no problem, for years. I had to uninstall if for storage while on vacation and when I re-downloaded it it was different. Won't connect to my camera at all. Makes you use Bluetooth and event still won't let me install. Not sure what happened but the other version was significantly better
