Ratings and reviews

Guaranteed Sony quality: horrible. Why playmemories put under? It worked. These two replacement apps,neither work. This app has 1 function,transfer images. LOL. Can't even find my camera! Other app does. Ftp import doesn't work. Camera has NFC! Of course not utilized! It's 2021 for sakes, Sony should be able to make wireless image transfer btw Sony A7R and Android reality, not a dream. Disapponted.

Apparently, I'm in the same quandriy as most folks have already stated. I can't transfer from the a7iii to my laptop via a "Samsung" style USB (C?) to standard USB. What the heck? Why won't a direct connection work? I need to have the direct connection for transfer speed...one shot at a time!

It's bad, no a very easy and intuitive interface. Moreover, it has a lot of problems like everyone mentioned. I can't understand how a billion dolar company can have such a horrible app and can't listen to their costumers. I mean you have a lot of people saying that it doesn't work well. Fix it!!! Create a new one! I can't understand 😪

What's new
