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.

Quite good when it works, but stops with no good reason

I only use this for sending GPS position to the camera via BT. When it works properly, it puts the GPS location in the photos… BUT, and it’s a big but, it stops working with no apparent reason saying that it will restart after the app is restarted… great! My photos then end up with an incorrect position. My thoughts are to have it connect reliably whenever the camera is found and to be able to set a threshold for movement from the last sent (and received) position (e.g., If my position changes by more than 20 m or what threshold I set, resend the position to the camera) and a time-based refresh, e.g., every 10 minutes to keep the camera up-to-date. That should save a lot of battery. If I set the distance to 0 m and the time to 0 s, that would be continuous updates, but for me 0 m and 1 s would be suitably continuous given the accuracy of GPS. But please, STOP IT FROM STOPPING FIRST!

Practically Useless

Extremely lacking in what you can control. Can’t even change camera settings like multiple exposure. Latency is so bad that most shots ends up out of focus. Shutter button often doesn’t work. You’re better off finding another solution. I found a third party app that does more than this one!

Bluetooth or Wifi

Neither will connect absolutely refuses to connect

Horrible App

Always having to delete and re-download app!!! I’m so sick of this!!!

Really lacking

To note: I use the wifi connection to transfer photos to my iPhone via the app.
Connection is difficult to sustain, constantly dropping. Transfers take forever and will time out. To add: you may not do anything other than transfer, or the connection absolutely drops with an “error” code. I’m looking into other ways to transfer from my z6, because this is certainly not the way to go.

4/5

A little slow sometimes.

Une vraie douleur

Impossible de connecter mon D7500 à cet appli, après de multiples tentatives, j’espère que nikon y verra sérieusement un jour. J’adore mon boîtier mais SnapBridge est un échec. Est-ce pareil avec toutes les plateformes ? Je n’ai eu que des problèmes avec iPhone 6/XR/XS, et sur une période d’environ 3 ans. Comment Nikon peuvent-ils produire d’aussi bons appareils et tolérer un logiciel aussi frustrant ??? Rien de professionnel là . 10-15 minutes pour pairer l’appareil à chaque fois ? Supprimer et réinstaller le logiciel chaque fois ????? Le problème n’est plus nouveau, changez les développeurs svp !!!! Urgent !!!

Looses connection easily

Also kinda wonky.

Zero stars should be a choice

Does not pair with device: "unsuccessful pairing" six times. After 10 years, it should connect, and geotag my images without problems. I took photos in Sicily. Then took an overnight Ferry to North Africa. Snapbridge tagged my images from Sicily as the middle of the Mediterranean Ocean.

Awful useless rubbish

Useless app, wifi never connects to camera, constantly having to reconnect camera with app, utter garbage, just like most things corporate, a race to the bottom, shameful

Terrible app sooo bad. world’s worst app. agghhh

I’ve used this app for several years and it hasn’t improved. just so difficult and unreliable. i’ve bought a remote to operate my camera rather than this useless app. kinda defeats the point. i hate this god dam app. it is so unreliable. aghhhh. Nikon don’t care . can i leave a minus review. not that it deserves it or that Nikon listens .

Still needs updates!!

USA users can’t even select mm/dd for date appearances. No way to nickname paired cameras and smaller font size serial numbers is a very poor way to identify the correct camera to switch to. Switching to Z9 is especially bad/slow. Needs more resolution options. D500 is too small. Z9 options are too small or too large.

After 10 years it should be better and those responsible for the app should be much more responsive and react to problems faster.
