Sony! Do something with this app. it is nearly useless. I can only import 2mb jpg images? What is the point of a 42 mp sensor if the only photos I can easily grab are so low quality? At least let me grab minimally compressed jpgs. And why NOT let me transfer RAW files wirelessly? Why would you want that limitation? It is 2025 and this app hasn't changed at all. Wake up the developers and take their bongs away.

App constantly runs in the background hours after use, and also doesn't connect automatically when the camera is turned on! You can use Microsoft 'Link to Windows' app as an example. When the PC is turned on it connects and when PC is turned off it disconnects and stops running in the background. For a company like Sony, lazy programming is a shame

I have used the app mainly for GPS location tagging on a6400. Since an update a while ago they added a license agreement screen that starts when you launch the app and if you're not connected to the Internet you cannot continue and use any functionality of the app. So if I am out of range of any data service I cannot use the GPS functions which really sucks since most of my photography takes place in the wilderness where no service is available.

Camera remote functions are ok, but it takes forever to get the app to connect to your phone. Forget transferring images to your phone. Files are too small even for social media. I am adding to this review and dropping it down to one star. It is a POS! I have been trying to get it to work for the last hour and it will not work! I'm done! It SUCKS!

This app is terrible. Every time you open it, you need to agree to the terms & conditions. And you must be connected to the internet to do so. So if you just wanted to transfer pictures, restart Bluetooth or use the app as a remote trigger where you don't have cell reception, you can't get past the initial screen. The picture transfer itself is buggy and I can't get it to do more than 10-15 pictures at a time without stopping. Overall, this feels like an app for an off brand camera.

This app for the most part just does not work. One moment it works as intended, and then it just stops working for the entire photo shoot. I do real estate photography and being able to take composite shots remotely is extremely important to my workflow. When I cant view and change camera settings away from the camera, it takes me 3 times as long to shoot a listing. Depending on this app and having it just die in the middle of a shoot and being unable to reconnect for the rest of the session just kills my productivity. Its embarrassingly bad when on client jobs, I lose time and valuable daylight, this app just does not work.
