### 1/5 — Lost your money on this product

*2024-03-12, version 3.6.22*

App no work in Apple phones horrible strongly recommended to stay a way from this product over price n no work well

### 3/5 — Can’t use with Nikon d500

*2023-03-30, version 3.6.22*

I bought this system a year or two ago and have used it successfully with a Nikon d7000. However I now have added a d500 and would like to use my Case system with that but the connecting cable is not compatible as the d500 does not accept a conventional usb cable. I have attempted to contact the manufacturer using the email on the box I received the Case remote in but my message has been returned undelivered leaving me frustrated. Hopefully someone will read this and email me please??

Given that it’s been ages since I first posted the above review and no one has had the decency to respond I would downgrade my rating further 

To make matters worse I have downloaded an update and now find it won’t even connect to my D7000!!!! 😡😡😡.  Essentially this makes it useless and a total waste of money. I won’t hold my breath expecting a response from the manufacturers🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

### 2/5 — Not Working on iPhone 14!!

*2023-03-30, version 3.6.22*

Just purchased this little device to work with my 1DX Markll and iPhone 14. Unfortunately no matter what I do it cannot find the device on the app.  It works perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S20+ so I know I’m setting it up correctly.  Only the 20+ is a company phone so I need it on my iPhone.

### 2/5 — Works once

*2022-02-18, version 3.6.20*

Everything is fine at the start of the shoot. But once you disconnect or power off camera it NEVER finds the camera again. Tried everything, sometimes rebooting the iPad does it but that not even resolved the issue. Stay away!

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2022-01-22, version 3.6.20*

Keeps crashing

### 3/5 — Falls just short in an industry where details matter

*2021-09-12, version 3.6.12*

To make decent hardware is one thing, but to create an accompanying app that upholds the brand? Dicey for any business, and the struggles are exemplified here with Air Remote.

Functionality-wise almost everything you’d need for client monitoring is there, including the ability to lock camera controls with a PIN code to prevent accidental changes by the client while shooting. 

However, screen space is a premium on a 9-12” display, and the poor use of that space results in this app looking quite unprofessional on a shoot in front of a client:

The app is not natively designed for the many different iPad display sizes. It simply scales the one version for all sizes, which means that on any iPad large enough to use as a client monitor the interface panels and buttons are huge, bringing us to the other major issue…

The interface cannot be hidden. Honestly this app would earn back the two lost stars if I could just see the latest image and nothing else when needed. An option to hide the interface or individual strips of buttons is an absolute must for future versions.

These issues represent a lack of care for the user experience, and while some slack is to be cut for a company that’s known for brightly coloured cables and not the tethering software of multi billion dollar corporations, a creative professional wears these products as a part of their own brand, and may ultimately choose to protect that brand by choosing another solution.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-04-11, version 3.6.12*

While changing the shutter speed or iso the histogram never updates. Only way to see if I have the correct setting for me is to go into library and view photo and try again. I have new software. If I’m doing something incorrectly let me know please!
 I’m using Nikon d 810. What’s the use tethering if I don’t see live update?if there is a fix I will update my review.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhones

*2021-03-28, version 3.6.12*

Does not connect at all on iPhone... any of my iPhones. Would sometimes work on my iPad, but no luck on phone. Very disappointed.

### 3/5 — Can’t find camera over and over

*2021-03-03, version 3.6.12*

This thing is great when it works, but when you need it with a client if fails and fails a lot.   Not reliable.  It is downright embarrassing to use this.

### 2/5 — Needs an update.

*2020-09-19, version 3.5.8*

Updated my Apple OS and now can’t get the air remote to work
