Used to be good, now not so much

This app used to work okay with my Z6 II, but these days it constantly drops the WiFi, drops Bluetooth, doesn’t play nice with the Photo Library, absolutely kills the phone battery, and in general is just plain bad. Bummer. If I want to share photos when out and about, I have to use my other camera which just works.

App Sucks!

App Sucks, my Nikon COOLPIX B500 won’t connect to my phone. I have tired everything, including the online help guide it gives you. But nothing, the camera won’t link in the app at all.

Works, but ….

While SnapBridge does what it claims, it is an absolute dog to work with on an iPad as you are stuck in portrait mode. Having to rotate a pad with external keyboard is such a pain that I download images and then work with other apps.

This app used to be great

As of late, I am very frustrated trying to down load photos from my camera.
It seems the app is not recognizing my camera.
I have deleted and reinstalled following the steps with success then the next time I want to down load the app will not pair with my camera.
What was not broke, someone has messed it up!!

Can not connect.

Not worth the frustration. Would not connect, either by Bluetooth or WiFi. Was not user error. When it did finally connect via WiFi, if snapbridge went to sleep, game over.
