  • Love everything!

    There’s nothing about this app to not love. It’s fun and effective! The only thing I wish would to be able to download images to phone from camera initiated shots. I often use phone interface to set up shot then camera after that to take real shots using intervalometer for time lapses or long exposures. I’d love to be able to pull this into phone or iPad for review and/or sharing. Keep up the great work. I also love your responsiveness to users.

  • Amazing

    Better app than the official Sony one by miles. Tap autofocus, controls in the appropriate camera mode. Awesome. Also the watch support and customer service. Worth it.
  • Great alternative to ImagingEdge

    Similar to Sony’s free ImagingEdge app but with additional features and flexibility on the settings. I recommend this product to anyone using the ImagingEdge who feels limited (e.g. only two time options for delayed shutting). Also great customer service. Ran into a bug, contacted them and it was quickly fixed.

    Updated review May 23, 2019

    I’ve been working with the developer and some beta updates, which have been implemented.

    The app is much more usable for me now. There is still some shutter delay (iPhone 12Pro Max) but that may be a general Bluetooth issue?

    Overall definitely a very useful app.

    ——————————-

    Can I get a refund? Really all I want is to be able to trigger my a7RIV using my Apple Watch. I do own and use all the time the actual Sony Bluetooth remote. I was hoping to have this app as a back up, however... I need to have the camera in a bracket mode and I need to trigger the camera for each of the brackets manually, when I press the shutter. With this app when it’s in single shot mode it overrides what I have on the camera. And as I say I need to control when (fire the shutter) each of exposures is made. Soooo setting the app in bracket mode is no good for me as the app triggers the full bracket (3, 5, or 9). Also it seems, even if I could live with the app controlling the bracket, this can not be initiated from the watch, only via the app on a phone or iPad. Sooo I’ve owned the app about 10 minutes and I can see in its current version it is useless for me. I wish there was a better description of its function here on the App Store, it would have saved me the pretty high cost of this app. Disappointed.

  • Extremely Laggy

    Trying to do self portraits or anything timed is an absolute disaster, also the shoot button is ambiguous to use.
  • Searching for this !

    I’m a real estate photographer and I have been searching for a remote control app for my Sony camera that wouldn’t, automatically, turn my Raw images to jpeg. This is it. It’s great app! Only thing I would wish for is a rule of three guides for my old eyes. Other than that it’s great! Customer service is qwik to respond too.

  • Great little app for my Sony

    After hooking up WiFi from your camera I can control both from my iPhone and watch. Since my A6400 does not flip out for vertical low angle shots this will be a very helpful app. Also great for star shooting. Can do interval shooting and never bump your tripod.
  • Great when it works

    It’s so nice being able to toggle the controls of the camera with an app but the problem I face is connectivity problems. It’s always a pain trying to get the app to connect to the camera when first starting out. When it comes time to to actually taking the shot I have missed so many chances because the camera hesitates after clicking the button in the app. I’m not sure if the camera WiFi just isn’t the best or the app struggles? I will have to test the native Sony app to see how well connectivity works between the two. I have also noticed the in app preview of what the camera sees “wobbles” if you move your phone around.

    Thank you for the comment and feedback. You can greatly improve Wi-Fi performance by turning off Bluetooth in iOS Settings app (must do it in Settings, not in Control Center). If you still experience performance issues, please contact us at help@shutter.dev and we will be happy to investigate the problem. Best regards, Grzegorz
  • SONY A7II

    It says the app works with the Sony A7II, but not at all. The continuous mode is not even working and it was the only reason why I bought this app. The app is very expemsive and does not even write the good information before we buy it.

    Developer Response

    Hi, we’re very sorry for your trouble. The app most definitely works with the a7 II and continuous mode. Your camera might require a software update (you’ll see an orange warning if that’s the case). Please email us at help@shutter.dev and we will be happy to help (or issue a refund.)
  • Great so far but would love ability to turn off photo send on intervalometer mode

    App has been great for Astro photography, could you please add a toggle to turn off WiFi picture previewing entirely? Sometimes this can take as many as 5 seconds to send to the phone and prevents the app from starting the next exposure on time which can be quite frustrating!
