A GEM of an app, only one request
This app is incredible. I’m already using the full paid version regularly. Great work to the developer. Got one big/issue. Another reviewer of this app also mentioned a feature not mirroring in video mode that does mirror in photo mode: Focus Magnifier. If the developer can get focus magnifier working in video mode, that would be so appreciated. Right now while filming on my Sony a6700, I need to look down at the tiny camera screen for checking focus with Focus Magnifier. I’d much prefer to be seeing that magnified focus mirrored in this app on my larger phone screen. Again, everything else feels so great. The app runs smooth everywhere else and I’m grateful for its existence.

Fumbling a massive opportunity
*FX3 user*
This app is so close to being a crucial tool for all filmmakers, and giving monitor companies a run for their money since we ALL have monitors (smartphones) in our pockets. Unfortunately, it is unreliable when trying to connect wirelessly. Especially when powering camera down, phone screen turning off, etc. if you need to quick re-connect for a fleeting moment, forget about it. You’re going to get frustrated and end up using the tiny flip on screen on camera. It’s also kind of laggy.
When plugged in wirelessly, great functionality.
Love all the monitoring tools it comes with. An extra star for the UI design.
Also, I wish it remembered your camera. I was shooting in public and it kept trying to auto connect to some other random person’s A74 nearby. The app should let you favorite your camera, or give priority. Auto connect didn’t help one bit.
Point is, these guys are missing a massive opportunity and sooner or later someone is going to come out with the end all external smartphone camera monitor app. Gonna try Sony’s that they just dropped. Hope it plays nicer and has a smoother end to end user experience than this.

It works with Iphone 15 and a7sii wired!
Previously, I thought it didnt work with the gap in tech, but the iphone 15 and a7sii can work if you have a native micro usb adapted to usb c, (and not a micro usb to usb c. It needs to be adapted)
Don’t bother
Waste of time! I can’t sync my FX3 despite following instructions!
Wired is superb
The only limitation of this app is the 1024x576px resolution of Sony Live View. Which is outside the developer’s control. Connection and latency over USB C is excellent.
Great for wired connections
Up front this app provides great functionality. The ease of changing frame rates and having 180 shutter angle is chefs kiss. The only reason it’s not 5 stars, and maybe it should be, is that I still see room for improvement in some ui elements. Idk if it’s possible but if this app can also display audio levels it would be near perfect.

Wired connection not working
I assume this is a great app but I cannot get the wired connection to work even though I’ve paid for the full version. I use an A7iv and an A7iii and haven’t had luck with either despite following the steps and even watching YouTube tutorials. I hope this is fixed soon.
Missing 2 things ????
The app is great but it needs for the user to be able to see the photos on the screen when your scrolling threw the camera roll on the actual camera ! It also needs for the user to be able to see the photos pop up on the screen while your taking the photos just like tethering ! If you add these 2 features you would have a 5star product !

Great App
I don’t come to the App Store to leave reviews but if I leave one, it’s a big big deal. This app is actually great. I don’t think I’ve ever even written a review before lol. At the time of writing this, I only tried to wired connection, but I wouldn’t even go for Wi-Fi since my Wi-Fi isn’t as strong and even if it was strong, I probably will still stick with wired to avoid any issues, this app is more than its price. I’m amazed not higher to be honest.
