Doesn’t work
I have an A7riii and could NOT get pics to ftp over to my iPhone 12 Pro. The only way was to get pics from the imaging edge app, but that would be transferring them twice. Pointless. Even though I’m quite familiar with ftp servers, even following their directions was useless. Disappointing since I love everything else about the camera, and the imaging edge app works decent enough. This app was supposed to save steps, but in fact I only added more.

Dropbox, Google Drive integration?
Would be nice to see this link with 3rd party apps such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc
Almost pointless on iPhones, thanks to Apple
The app relies on a Wi-Fi connection to the camera to FTP JPEGs. When there is no access point available, as is often the case for most of this app’s intended users, the app must use the phone’s hotspot to create an access point for the cameras.
The problem is that iPhones automatically turn off their hotspots when it detects no active connections. Every time this happens I have to take the phone out, re-enable the hotspot and restart the FTP server in the app. This happens when the camera idles to sleep, is turned off or has the FTP power save function enabled — in other words: All. The. Freaking. Time.
Do not fault Sony for this because it is Apple who forces this on users without an option to disable the timeout.
I’m sure this is less of an issue for sports photographers who have thousands of images transferring slowly enough that the hotspot connection never times out. But for photographers with more sporadic transfers like news photographers, this app is a no-go on the iPhone.

Doesn’t work with a7r 4a
Won’t pair via bluetooth. Camera doesn’t show up
Can’t even sign in
For a company as huge and rich as sony they make the crappiest apps ever for their cameras
Unable the pair with all Sony cameras
Seems to work ok but needs improvement on the organization of photos as you take them. Would be great if it worked to automatically show you the photos as you take them, always displaying the latest. I was able to pair with the A7III with no problem but the program refuses to see the A7RIV. Both cameras work on the ImagingEdge Mobile on two different iOS devices. Issue appears to be with this particular app. Went through the troubleshooting process and issue still occurs.

Not able to login
Please fix it. Thanks!
Coming back to life!
Probably the most important app for your A7III after the 4.0 firmware update. My camera can finally upload photos to my phone while shooting. However, is it possible to make it upload the photos to my online drives like OneDrive or Google drive? This can be a nice feature to add.
Doesn’t work
This app doesn’t work. My Sony a6400 doesn’t connect the way the app wants them to. If I try to connect via the QR code on the camera, the QR code says “no data”. Useless.
Absolute Trash....
Having to sign in it's not acceptable. I want nothing to do with your cloud. I just want the ability to transfer my files from my camera to my phone. No frills, no flash, just substance. Something this vaporware fails to deliver for the people that just wasn't working tools.
