### 5/5 — TCリンク

*2025-07-04, version 3.7.1*

本当に同期が簡単で便利です。ソニー様のICレコーダーやZOOM様などのレコーダーとも同期されたら、もっと便利になりそう。是非とも、継続をお願いします。ソニーファンより。

### 3/5 — Cannot get it to work with Z150

*2024-09-16, version 3.7.1*

Z150 wifi connects to iphone OK. But CBM just says Compatible devices not found. (However it works with my Z280.) Is Z150 no longer supported???

### 2/5 — No FX9 support with IO15

*2024-02-05, version 3.7.1*

Just got an FX9 and really would love to use this app with it. However there is no support for the 9 with IOS15. So although I can control the camera with the app I can’t see anything. Kid of pointless. Would love an update sometime soon.

### 1/5 — What’s the point?!

*2023-12-16, version 3.7.1*

1. It is a tedious process to connect
2. How can you monitor the camera with a resolution max of a astounding 480p image?

If you can’t monitor above 480p? What is the point of even having a monitoring feature? We should at minimum be able to monitor at 720p resolution.

### 2/5 — iOS 17 seems to have broken the FTP Transfer

*2023-09-25, version 3.7.1*

iOS 17 seems to have broken the FTP Transfer please FIX!

### 1/5 — Terrible Resolution

*2022-12-28, version 3.7.0*

This application seems to have been entirely forgotten. The resolution of the video feed is far worse than with the Imaging Edge Mobile app. The UI and controls feel outdated. 

And, basic features in the Imaging EdgeMobile app aren’t there, like setting the camera date and time.

### 1/5 — Läuft nicht

*2022-12-23, version 3.7.0*

Die App braucht man nicht herunterladen, die Tools, die sie können soll kann sie nicht. 

Für eine professionelle Kamera ziemlich schade. 

Grundsätzlich hätte ich das Tool spannend gefunden, wenn die App zuverlässig funktionieren würde.

### 2/5 — Typical Sony

*2022-11-30, version 3.7.0*

Once again, Sony’s amazing camera hardware is backed up by shoddy software. I really wish they’d grow their software engineering team and hire some competent programmers. This is the company that’s had a “Paint” option in their menus for who knows how many years, so that seems unlikely

### 4/5 — Needs some fixes

*2021-04-15, version 3.5.0*

Needs a producer pin coded lockout.. would love some bit rate adjustments from the fx9 to the app..

### 1/5 — Z280代理录制的文件下载总是失败，没成功过

*2021-04-10*

广电行业，z280录制的是1920×1080（9m）的素材，然后想直接从卡里导出到手机（水果11）上，每次都是失败，进度条都到最后了依旧是失败，我还没有成功下载到一个文件
