### 1/5 — Horrible log in procedure

*2026-08-26*

Endless screens and constantly being asked to approve the terms etc is so annoying. Makes this a 1 star program.

### 1/5 — It's rubbish

*2026-08-19, version 3.4.2*

Just doesn't work with an iPhone 17 Max Pro

### 2/5 — Not giving you full library access

*2026-08-19, version 3.4.2*

Stop requesting it. You only need to add photos to my library.

### 1/5 — NO ZV-E10?? STILL???

*2026-08-18, version 3.4.2*

ow does this app support ZV- E1 the ZV- E10 II but not the ZV-E10? What kind of sense does that make and why is it still not been corrected??? The imaging app is trash and this was the only other hope. DO BETTER, SONY!

### 3/5 — Ok, aber Luft nach oben !

*2026-08-15*

1. Die ersten paar Fotos werden die GPS Daten an die Kamera übertragen. Aber irgendwann verliert er die Verbindung dann doch wieder. 
2. BULB: warum läuft denn hier nicht autom eine Zeitanzeige mit ? Denn wann man zur Stoppuhr wechselt, beendet die App sofort die Aufnahme.
3. Zuviel Werbung für andere Apps, Cloud-Gedöns etc.

### 3/5 — Bien mais …

*2026-08-14*

Encore trop souvent de bugs lors de la connexion

### 1/5 — Excited about possibilities but…

*2026-08-13, version 3.4.2*

Bought this amazing camera for work but the app does not work well. Having a lot of difficulty importing videos/pictures to my iPad or phone even with USB or WiFi connection. It’s suppose to be easy however it’s painfully slow and after an hour of it saying it’s importing, it stops. Also WHY Should we give Sony FULL ACCESS to all our photos on our devices?! This is a privacy concern.  About ready to return this and buy a Nikon.

### 1/5 — Keeps signing me out

*2026-08-13, version 3.4.2*

Every time I use it

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-12, version 3.4.2*

It’s impossible to connect and transfer photos to your phone.  There is always connection problems

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2026-08-11, version 3.4.2*

App pairs my camera over Bluetooth but then when you press import it doesn't connect.   And for some reason the camera gets added twice in my Bluetooth menu.    So something isn't doing its job
