Fails to reliably establish a connection and copy photos. Moreover, the app throws up an error message if you don't give it access to your location - even when you are connected to the camera wifi network. It generates enough toast messages to keep them on screen for a while after I close the app. Also pesters you with mandatory questionnaires ("are you a photographer? what kind exactly?", etc).

It's important for me to download videos from a camera (a6600). I don't know why, but it's apply a transition effect (from black to normal) for every video. I have the same problem on iPhone, but there is different transition (from white to normal). Hence I think this bad decision was made purposefully. Please, change it in the new update. P.s. Downloading RAW files also will be very useful.

Nov 11th 2025: The app continues to get worse. Why do I always need to click through a dialog box telling me my import resolution? Why do camera connections get more buggy with each update? Sony hardware is usually very well thought out, but the software really isn't. Great potential, still useable, but it seems to get more buggy with each update. You can do better Sony.
