Ratings and reviews

Connection between phone and camera is terrible. Every time I want to download pictures from my Coolpix B500 I have to be standing in just the right spot at the right time. The app doesn't seem to remember how to connect to my camera every time I use it, rendering any of the options to download or connect unavailable, forcing me to disconnect and start over. Wifis fine and works great otherwise so thats not my issue. Even when I use NFC it's spotty and the camera is in perfect condition.

Hands down the worst experience I've ever had with any app. It never works. I've done everything anyone and the help pages have suggested. It never works. You'd think by chance it might sometimes work, but you'd be wrong. For it to never work, in two years after updates, is quite a feat. But you will install it and think it will work for you. It won't, but good luck.

Very unreliable and slow. Nothing beats good old-fashioned hardware controllers. Fortunately, there are many cheap ones out there that do a MUCH better job than this. Putting aside the fact that you won't be able to connect via wifi if you use VPN, and without it, it still has trouble connecting and is slow doing so. Then, it has a bad habit of disconnecting. Do yourself a favor and buy a hardware controller. Wired is better, but the ML-L7 or similar remotes work well.
