And i have to close the app and open it again if i have to transfer photos again after recently downloading photos. Lots of room for optimisation here ### 3/5 — Fix this PLEASE *2026-04-17* It still takes a really long time to download big videos and it stops and won’t resume if the device goes off the app does have potential! ### 3/5 — It works but not well *2026-04-05* The connection isn’t stable all the time and once the app is closed the download will stop and won’t able to resume even open the app back up. It’s a pain to transfer the photos from the camera to the phone. It works on a good day or you’re only doing less than 5 photos at a time. ### 4/5 — Video not downloading *2026-01-18, version 1.1.5* My video won’t download it just shows as a picture I have a Sony a51000 very upset abt that but everything else works ### 2/5 — Limité *2025-12-17* Dommage que les photos transférés soit limitées à 2Mp et en format 1920x1080, il devrait y avoir une option pour pouvoir transférer les photos en plein format. ### 2/5 — Finicky app *2025-11-26, version 1.1.4* Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Now when I try to add a camera it only gives me one option, “ read user guide first” ### 1/5 — Misleading *2025-11-15, version 1.1.4* Thought this was a free app where you could download photos from your camera but you have to pay. Also, its super slow and wont load all your camera’s images. ### 1/5 — The worst *2025-11-03* It worked for The Free trial then the second I paid for the app it stopped working. No matter what. Robbery on the part of the developers. **Developer response:** Hello, please carefully read the "User Guide" which contains explanations of related frequently asked questions. ### 1/5 — Works sometimes *2025-10-26, version 1.1.4* When it does work it’s very convenient, but very finicky and not reliable ### 1/5 — Geld für etwas selbstverständliches *2025-10-25* Also ehrlich Geld zu verlangen für etwas, das eigentlich selbstverständlich sein sollte, ist einfach traurig. So weit ist unsere kapitalistische Welt also schon gekommen. Ich kaufe eine Kamera für viel Geld, und dann soll ich auch noch extra zahlen, nur um meine eigenen Bilder zu übertragen? 🤦🏼 Kein Wunder, dass ich Sony seit Jahren meide. PS Plus? Ebenfalls seit Ewigkeiten gestrichen. Wenn Sony irgendwann Toiletten herstellt, werde ich auch die meiden sonst wird am Ende wahrscheinlich jeder Stuhlgang einzeln berechnet. ### 1/5 — NOT FREE *2025-09-29* No point in saying the app is free in the App Store if you have to pay for it once you’ve used it (btw it’s not mentioned) even if it’s a time payment ### 1/5 — One time purchase is a lie. *2025-09-26, version 1.1.4* They claim it’s a one time purchase and even comment that to other people in other reviews yet on my statement I have an upcoming charge of $7.99 and it’s mentions it as a monthly cost. They clearly lied about it being a one time payment. I’m going to dispute he charge and call apple to cancel this because it’s a lie. ### 2/5 — Takes forever *2025-09-19, version 1.1.4* Takes forever for my photos to be downloaded in the app… ### 1/5 — Funktioniert leider nicht *2025-09-16* Positives zuerst: die App ist sehr handlich gestaltet und es ist alles sehr gut erklärt. Das Verbinden mit der Kamera hat schnell funktioniert und war relativ einfach. Jetzt zu den Problemen: Neue Fotos werden mir als letztens angezeigt, das heißt ich muss erst alle anderen Fotos vorher laden, was aufwändig und zeitintensiv ist. Dann haben die Fotos leider sehr schlechte Qualität und das größte Problem - der Download funktioniert nicht. In der App wird der Download abgeschlossen, aber die Bilder tauchen nicht in der Galerie oder in meinen Dateien auf. So ist die App leider unbrauchbar ### 2/5 — Great But Freezes W Sony RX100 *2025-09-11, version 1.1.4* Easy to use. Running on an Iphone 12 recent OS but the loading of images via wifi to my phone from my Sony RX100mk3 freezes ie locks up. Not sure if theres an update but as on now its useless. I JUST paid for the PRO ver ie not free! ### 1/5 — Completely useless *2025-08-26, version 1.1.4* Unusable ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work with a6000 or a 6400 *2026-07-08, version 1.1.9* Not much else to say- I downloaded, registered, it wouldn’t connect- i was prompted to spend $10 and I figured that was the problem- I wasted hours of my life trying to get trapped photos from my camera- it’s bed time ### 1/5 — Old software worked for Alpha III, this one is useless *2026-05-18* Update: I didn't realize this was 3rd party garbage, the official app for Sony is not this app, this is someone wanting to try to make money providing something you can get for free - that actually works a d handles batch for free. ---- Can't get it to connect... I can connect the network manually, camera says "sharing" after the connecting.. So network is connected App returns to the previous screen, or more specifically, clicking connect to X, where X is my camera name shows a waiting icon for about 1 second or less and returns to the menu... Went through all their suggestions in the user manual.. 0 stars, and when I started it, the screen prompted me for said and password, without telling me my camera needs me to hit the trash can icon to get there... Or have any button for help there.. UI 1 of 5 stars Functionally compared to previous version: 0 of 5 stars I guess I could delete it... Upgrade to "pro"? ROFLMO... There didn't use to be any reason to upgrade anything... It just transfers photos to your phone... So Un-Sony!! Pro version rolls you back to what I HAD WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAMERA!!! Allowing batch transfer... I suppose I can't say transfer all with today's date??? Worthless garbage.... Money, money, money!!!! Gimme, gimme, gimme! (Yeah, two ABBA songs) ### 1/5 — Requests for unnecessary permission *2026-04-27, version 1.1.8* I don't understand why a camera transfer app need mobile app data to work? ### 1/5 — Appli payante !! *2026-04-17* Un seul téléchargement de photo gratuit !! Sinon il faut payer l’application, une honte !! ### 1/5 — SONY SUCKS *2026-04-05, version 1.1.5* We should’ve used four atomic bombs instead of two on Japan. Tokyo should’ve been Ground Zero. ### 1/5 — No options *2026-03-15, version 1.1.5* The only options you offered were "Rate Us" or "Review us" and no way to skip. Enjoy your 1 star review until you fix that. ### 1/5 — No sirve ,,no pagen *2026-02-25, version 1.1.5* Muy mala no pagen ### 1/5 — Pay2W *2026-01-26, version 1.1.5* I was only allowed to transfer my photos once. Then had to upgrade to pro. ### 1/5 — Connecting is painful *2026-01-15, version 1.1.5* This app sucks for connecting to a smartphone ### 1/5 — Не работает *2025-12-23* Зависает на третьем пункте. Толку ноль. Позор Сони. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful little app *2026-02-11* I’m so happy with this app. Simply and easily transfers photos from my RX100 that I would otherwise have to carry an SD card reader for. One issue is transfers get stuck if the app gets unloaded, so you can’t really multitask away. ### 5/5 — T *2025-08-29, version 1.1.4* Mmo lo ### 5/5 — Good *2025-08-24, version 1.1.4* Good ### 5/5 — So good *2025-07-06, version 1.1.4* Took me barely a minute to start transferring photos that’s how easy it is ### 5/5 — Link it up! *2025-03-12* Big Thanks to Sony for making it easy to get fresh picture into my phone for sharing! **Developer response:** We are glad you like our app. 😄 ### 5/5 — Great for A6000 *2025-02-19, version 1.1.2* Super convenient! ### 5/5 — Works on original A7s *2024-12-21* Does what it claims. Works on my 13 Pro and transfers images from my original A7s. User guide is clear and easy to follow even when skimming. **Developer response:** We are glad you like our app. 😄 ### 5/5 — Happy to find this app *2024-11-10, version 1.1.2* I’ve been searching for so long and finally this is exactly what I needed. Thank you 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Works well with a6000 *2024-09-12* I was able to connect right away with my a6000 then last IOS update doesn’t work, had to delete and reinstall now it works again ### 5/5 — まだまだ荒削りだが *2024-09-08* 使いにくいと思うところもあるがバージョンアップの度に良くなってきてると思う。頑張れSONY --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
