### 2/5 — A great idea, but does not work

*2026-03-25*

I was excited about this app and  was happy that there was a free version so I could try before buying. However, the app could not pair with my a7r3; I did follow everything the app manu recommended. In addition, the free version does even let me see the camera list, which I thought would help me connect my camera to the app. Regrettably, I’m deleting.
