### 1/5 — A7iii DO NOT PURCHASE

*2025-04-27, version 4.17*

This app uses the same name as Sony’s app and i foolishly thought it was made by Sony. It will not connect to my camera at all and i already spent $12.99 on it. I have no clue how to get my refund because their support pages will not load. DO NOT BUY!!

### 1/5 — 交了$12元．没有服务。

*2024-12-30, version 4.17*

12月30曰1024年下载了这个app，完全连不上sony HX 80，请求帮助，没有人接。怎么去退款呢？

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2024-12-20, version 4.17*

Can’t find camera

### 1/5 — Sehr schlecht

*2024-09-28*

Erst nach dem Kauf stellt man fest, dass die funktionierenden Kameras alte Modelle sind. Nicht für z. B. Vlogkamera Sony ZV E10 oder E10 II. Finger weg.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-08-05, version 4.16*

Will not connect to my Sony camera, a refund would be nice.

### 1/5 — I want my money back because y’all made this app and y’all know it doesn’t work.

*2024-06-16, version 4.16*

I want my money back because y’all made this app and y’all know it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Do not buy!

*2024-05-11, version 4.16*

Pretty sure this has to be a scam. The app tricks you by allowing you to control your camera with your phone, but the minute you try to adjust any setting or try to take a picture, the app freezes and locks you out with a loading screen that never goes away. Complete waste of money. App doesn’t even have a setting to download the pictures you have taken to your phone. Why is apple allowing this on their App Store??

### 1/5 — 一星都多了，举报该软件，骗钱下载了完全没有反应的软件

*2024-04-30*

一星都给多了，还要付费购买软件，结果完全用不了，根本连接不上。那为什么还要上了？骗钱呀

### 1/5 — Does not work with A7iii

*2024-04-14, version 4.16*

Will connect but will not function :(

Wasted money!!! 😡

### 1/5 — Cannot connect a Sony PlayMemories camera as claimed.

*2024-04-08, version 4.16*

I cannot connect my DSC-QX30, despite the developer’s claim “GoCamera supports all Sony PlayMemories cameras. We tested GoCamera with the following camera models:

Sony DSC-QX10
Sony DSC-QX100    ”
I do understand the DSC-QX30 is not on your tested list, but perhaps you could provide a disclaimer to the effect “we cannot be sure cameras not on the list below will function. To this end, we are offering a one week trial period to ensure you can connect.”

I did request a refund from Apple within minutes of buying and unsuccessfully attempting to connect my camera. Here’s hoping it is approved and I have not wasted my $12.99
