### 1/5 — Applicazione assurda

*2023-04-01, version 1.8.1*

Niente raw. Solo jpeg. E siamo nel 2023.

### 1/5 — Sony a1 transfer

*2023-02-12, version 1.7.0*

How can Sony build such an amazing camera but can’t develop an app that connects easily and transfers the images you want easily? I paid way too much for my a1 and a9 to deal with a app like this.

### 1/5 — Error 400

*2022-12-31, version 1.7.0*

Not only am I getting a plain text error, I am getting the full line of code that is supposed to throw the error. This is both hilarious in how bad it is and is probably a security risk. Sony needs to fix this asap.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work anymore

*2022-10-04, version 1.6.0*

After the update I can't see pictures on my iPhone.

### 1/5 — Poor poor and poor

*2022-09-09, version 1.6.0*

I can’t even log into the app to use it, after you enter your password and everything it takes you to this stupid puzzle to verify your self no matter how many times you try and doesn’t let you go pass it, please someone check the app and update it ASAP is there to help us but this is simply rubbish

### 1/5 — Sony is so bad at apps

*2022-03-13, version 1.5.0*

It is sad. Makes me want to buy a different camera.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-03-10, version 1.5.0*

I have an A7riii and could NOT get pics to ftp over to my iPhone 12 Pro. The only way was to get pics from the imaging edge app, but that would be transferring them twice. Pointless. Even though I’m quite familiar with ftp servers, even following their directions was useless. Disappointing since I love everything else about the camera, and the imaging edge app works decent enough. This app was supposed to save steps, but in fact I only added more.

### 1/5 — 最悪

*2021-12-28*

まともに動かない
接続も困難
動作テストしてるのか不思議

### 1/5 — Almost pointless on iPhones, thanks to Apple

*2021-12-23, version 1.5.0*

The app relies on a Wi-Fi connection to the camera to FTP JPEGs. When there is no access point available, as is often the case for most of this app’s intended users, the app must use the phone’s hotspot to create an access point for the cameras.

The problem is that iPhones automatically turn off their hotspots when it detects no active connections. Every time this happens I have to take the phone out, re-enable the hotspot and restart the FTP server in the app. This happens when the camera idles to sleep, is turned off or has the FTP power save function enabled — in other words: All. The. Freaking. Time.

Do not fault Sony for this because it is Apple who forces this on users without an option to disable the timeout.

I’m sure this is less of an issue for sports photographers who have thousands of images transferring slowly enough that the hotspot connection never times out. But for photographers with more sporadic transfers like news photographers, this app is a no-go on the iPhone.

### 1/5 — 垃圾玩意

*2021-12-11*

垃圾玩意。没法登录。

### 1/5 — Can’t even log in

*2021-12-03*

This app does not work at all. I can’t even log in with my Sony account. When pressing „create new account“ or any of the other buttons, nothing happens. What a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Antes si, pero ahora no funciona con iPhone

*2021-11-12, version 1.4.1*

No permite enviar fotos a un ftp después de importarlas y incrustarle los metadatos. Antes se podía y desde que hubo una actualización, no. Da un fallo en los permisos y/o protocolo de seguridad de ftp

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with a7r 4a

*2021-09-10, version 1.4.1*

Won’t pair via bluetooth. Camera doesn’t show up

### 1/5 — Keine Verbindung zum Server

*2024-04-23*

App sagt man muss sich anmelden, um die App zu nutzen. Leider kommt nach der Passwort Eingabe, direkt eine Fehlermeldung ,dass der Server nicht erreichbar ist. 
Leider ist die App so nicht nutzbar. iPhone 14 Pro

### 1/5 — Dropbox

*2024-02-24, version 2.0.0*

Da error desde hace unos dias al enviar a un ftp. No ha cambiado ninguna configuracion y de repente no se puede subir nada. Nos pasa a la vez en dos Moviles. Solucionenlo por favor. Se utiliza pra trabajar.

Ya paso en una anterior actualizacion y luego se soluciono.

### 1/5 — Please fix SFTP

*2023-12-15, version 1.9.2*

SFTP has the same old authentication problems from way back since v1   Why can’t Sony get this pivotal feature right.  Also can you add star ratings so you can select which images to ftp based on star rating.  Thanks.

### 1/5 — Simply the worst app I have ever used.

*2023-12-09, version 1.9.2*

Need serious work done

### 1/5 — Imposible usar porque no se puede hacer login

*2023-11-11, version 1.9.2*

Un desastre, después de repetir el captcha puzzle varias veces correctamente la pantalla del login se queda sin avanzar y no se puede ni entrar ni hacer el login necesario. Una basura

### 1/5 — SFTP doesn't work!!!! On 1.9.2

*2023-10-13*

EVERY iOS FTP app works in transferring photos via SFTP except the Sony transfer and tagging app. This weird glitch happened with FTP too. I have no issues using SFTP with FTP Manager Pro and other $1.99+ apps. SONY PLEASE fix the sftp in 1.9.2. This has been an issue since they released sftp function.

### 1/5 — SFTP doesn't work!!!!

### 1/5 — Unable to download RAW images

*2023-04-23, version 1.8.1*

Unable to download RAW images

### 1/5 — Gute Kameras, miese Software

*2023-04-20*

Es bleibt ja dabei, Sony baut großartige Kameras und war absolut Vorreiter im Bereich spiegellos. Wenn es aber um Software und Apps geht, sollten die Entwickler dringend bei den Mitbewerbern schauen. Man sieht es an den Bewertungen: egal, welche Software zum Übertragen der auf den Markt kommt IEM, T&T, Memories...), ganz mies umgesetzt. Imaging Edge läuft halbwegs erträglich, wenn man sich an die Instabilität gewöhnt. Aber hier bin ich noch nicht mal dazu gekommen, auch nur ein Bild zu übertragen. Netzwerkabbrüche, Login nicht möglich. Ganz schlimm.

### 1/5 — Fail

*2023-04-08*

Keine Anmeldung möglich 
iPhone 14/ 16.4.1

### 5/5 — Coming back to life!

*2021-03-17, version 1.3.1*

Probably the most important app for your A7III after the 4.0 firmware update. My camera can finally upload photos to my phone while shooting. However, is it possible to make it upload the photos to my online drives like OneDrive or Google drive? This can be a nice feature to add.

### 5/5 — On the fly IPTC!

*2019-03-31, version 1.0.0*

I’ve only used this app a little but it solves a huge problem when I’m shooting sports or events. I can do IPTC captions on the fly with this, that get sent along with the images, with presets for each shoot. Saves a trip to the desktop.

### 5/5 — 学习中

*2019-03-27*

新app学习中

### 4/5 — 链接不稳定，速度有点慢

*2023-07-07*

链接了经常断开，需要重新连接，有时传输照片很慢。

### 4/5 — 希望可以加入評等

*2021-09-05, version 1.4.1*

Hope to mark level and color tag Even respond to cam sad card,hope auto show latest photo when full screen mode

### 3/5 — WebDAV

*2023-11-18*

Can you add uploading by webDAV, please?

### 3/5 — Old ftp

*2023-01-04*

Please add upload via webDAV

### 3/5 — Dropbox, Google Drive integration?

*2022-01-07, version 1.5.0*

Would be nice to see this link with 3rd party apps such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc

### 2/5 — Problemi con il nuovo aggiornamento

*2025-10-23, version 2.4.0*

Dopo il nuovo aggiornamento con ipad la connessione e il trasferimento con il wifi non funziona piu molto bene, spero sony ci metta una pezza

### 2/5 — awkward to use

*2023-03-02, version 1.8.0*

Operation is sporadic and unreliable, and there’s no reason for it to require yet another account to sign up for and log in to.
