  • Decent but missing one big feature/functionality

    I like this app. It’s streamlined and has a simple unobtrusive user interface. The Tao to connect feature is awesome but it’s missing something pretty big in my opinion.

    It only imports/saves the image previews to the phone when the shutter button is pressed in the app but not when the shutter is pressed on the camera body itself. I would love to be able to have my camera connected and shoot with my on camera shutter release and still have the image previews transfer over to my phone cause the LCD on the back of the camera body isn’t as reliable at times.

    Another smaller missing functionality is to be able to control the time in which the app shows the image preview after taking the picture. Wish I could choose in app to disable the automatic image preview and shoot without the lag.

    Also it would be a great addition to have the camera control UI change orientation with the phone. If I rotate my phone landscape I have the ability to rotate the live view but the camera control UI are sideways.

    Thank you for the feedback. We'd love to address these issues, but this very much depends on what camera you have. If you email us at help@shutter.dev, we'll try to figure out what we can do for your specific situation. With older Sony cameras (before a7R IV), it's impossible to transfer photos as you shoot them on the camera. With those cameras, not transferring photo previews actually doesn't save time because the camera needs to finish writing them to SD card anyway. Only with the most recent models (a9 I/II, a7R IV, a7S III, RX100 VII, ZV-1) it became possible to "listen" for incoming photos and transfer them as you shoot. With those newer models it might be possible to skip fetching photo previews to save some time but then you won't be able to access them from the app. As for the changing orientation, this is something we definitely want to address soon. Again, please email us at help@shutter.dev. We would love to discuss options with you, and this way we can notify you about progres. Thanks!
  • Almost perfect.

    I purchased this app to take burst shots of my toddler and I, in a beautiful setting outdoors.
    I love that it allows you to take as many pictures as your card will allow, for as long as you want.
    You can change everything you need to perfect your shot on your phone, which is amazing. And I love that you can take photos with your watch, so you don’t have to quickly hide your giant phone for group photos. I just detached the watch band and kept the watch face in my hand.
    My only knock on the app is that I can’t use my watch for continuous shooting. This did result in me having to use my phone and awkwardly trying to hide it in some shots. Which isn’t a huge deal, but I only had a 100mb memory card on me so my first dozen pictures are of me placing my phone down, and picking up my child THEN trying to pose. Which by that time my camera started to slow down due to trying to process the string of rapid fire pictures.
    I will continue to use this app. I just hope that in the near future there will be a development of continuous shots on the Apple Watch. :)

    Thank you for this comment. So cool that you capture memories with your toddler using our app! 😍 Recently, we’ve received multiple requests for continuous shooting on the Watch. It’s definitely coming soon. Please email us at help@shutter.dev so you can get an early access as soon as it’s ready.
  • What it does it does well!

    So far really like the app to control my Sony camera! Sometimes a little laggy but overall works well. The features it provides work as intended and I’m excited to see what new features they add to this app! Off to a great start and keep up the solid work!
  • Perfect!

    I just purchased this app for my Sony ZV-1 and it works perfectly!! No glitches, no problems. There are a few features I wish it had such as transfer photos from camera to iPhone. I also wish it had zoom control and tap to focus (but i understand Sony discontinued tap to focus). But as a remote shutter release for my ZV-1 it’s exactly what I wanted.

  • Frustrating and glitchy

    All I need is a remote to make the camera take a picture. This falls fat short of what I need. Every time I try to take a picture something different happens except for a picture being taken. The menu of the type of shot comes up again and again and when I select, the shutter button won’t work instead cycling back to the type of shot. Horrible.

  • First rate

    I have used this app with my A7IIIs and A9 and it works perfectly on all 3 cameras.
  • Too expensive for what you get

    This app is far too expensive for what you get. It was a massive disappointment.
    You are unable to focus or even see what is in focus as you cannot zoom in on the display (which is tiny on phone screen) and it does not show peaking
    Also doesn’t show zebras
    I don’t understand why these simple options are not available for the most expensive app I have ever purchased

  • From 1 Star to 5

    Changed this rating because originally I gave it 1 stars since I was unable to use the app ur t a Sony sever error. Shutters customer service rep Grzegorz Świrski actually replied so fast, and changed my experience with shutter making me change this to a 5 star! I realized the problem was not with shutter it was with sonny. The app it self is great! Prefer it to imaging edge 100 percent .
