Glitchy
Have tried everything to get my camera to connect to the app via Bluetooth and have essentially given up. Updated firmware on the camera and updated the app. Changed settings. Nothing works.
It is not connecting to my D7500 camera
It has never been a good app, but now it is not working at all. Fix it!!!
Simply doesn’t work
I cannot get it to connect to my camera. Beyond that the process just to get to this part was unnecessarily clunky.
This App sucks
I have been using this app for my D7500 for 4-5 years and it is always a pain to get it to work. Can’t understand how hard it is to make a proper app to download images. It is sad that is the only official way to transfer pictures from camera to phone. It’s annoying and when I’m due to change a camera, definitely not going with a Nikon because of these hurdles

why? just why?
The companion app does not deliver on its promise. Core connectivity is unreliable.
Reproduction steps (common failure):
1. Open the app and pair the camera via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi as instructed.
2. Confirm the camera is powered on, within range, and shows as connected in the app.
3. Switch to Live View or attempt to transfer a photo.
4. Within seconds to a few minutes the app reports “Disconnected” even though the camera remains on and the connection indicator on the camera itself has not changed.
5. Force-quitting and relaunching the app, or toggling Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, frequently fails to restore a stable connection.
This sequence repeats consistently. Basic features are undermined by these persistent bugs and incomplete functionality.
The app is marketed as a meaningful part of the shooting workflow, yet it is too unstable to rely on. Updates have been infrequent and have not fixed the core problems. There is little evidence of meaningful ongoing improvement.
As a long-time Nikon shooter, this has reduced my confidence in the overall system. The software experience lags behind what competitors provide. I stopped using the app some time ago because it simply does not work reliably enough to be useful
