### 3/5 — Useful, but demanding

*2023-01-15*

This is a handy app. However it would be even handier if it didn’t crash so frequently. It would also be handy to have a manual trigger option.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2018-11-16*

Keine Funktion bei Alpha 7 iii

**Developer response:** Ich kann die App leider nicht mit allen Modellen testen. Eine kurze Mail mit Fehlerbeschreibung wäre in jedem Fall hilfreicher als eine negative Bewertung.

### 3/5 — Worked sometimes

*2017-12-28*

Hi Martin.

Thank you for this fantastic app! It worked at one point, but now doesn’t trigger anything such as a photo being taken

**Developer response:** Sorry, haven't seen your review until now. Contact me via email if you're still interested in resolving this issue.
