Makes My Life Easier
I sell online on several websites. App is working pretty well for me so far. I don’t have any complaints. I love being able to transfer images to my iPhone without having to involve my laptop and iTunes. Although the iPhone has a great camera I can’t ever get the white balance on my photos right even with a white balancing app. So I have to use an actual camera. I have a Sony also and although it is a more “professional” camera with much different options (and takes great shots)...it does not have WiFi connectivity, so it takes more time. I have a WiFi / Bluetooth printer also. I can lay in my bed while sipping coffee and handle all my online business without running back and forth from my office. Cuts the time it takes me to do everything in half! I have kids and work from home, so that is a HUGE deal! Everything I have attempted to do with this camera has worked out. I am very happy!

EXTREMELY difficult to use
Tried to connect to my D5600. Finally, after a few days of trying to figure out this convoluted app, I got it to connect but the photos will not upload unless I do it manually. Even then I’m lucky to get two or three to transfer to my phone. I purchased this camera because of its affordability and the ability to connect to my iPhone. For Pete’s sake, can’t you figure out how to make it a lot more user-friendly?? The idea is perfect. Execution, not so much. *UPDATE* It all of a sudden started working. I don’t even know what I did. It still is very buggy though. Dropping connections all the time. Having to go through connecting the camera and phone repeatedly is VERY annoying since it is not a clear cut method. LOVE the camera. The app functionality will be so much better if you could fine tune it. I’m upgrading my review to three stars. It’ll be five stars when and if this app gets the proper attention it needs. **Another Update** It is now working. Photos now transfer automatically.

It could be so much better.
I acquired a Nikon D850 and have tried to use this app with my iPad Pro. The camera control option leaves a lot to be desired. It it has too many hiccups and takes way too long to connect. Photo’s taken via the iPad take a long time to download, it doesn’t inform you of the status of the download and the camera doesn’t save a copy to the camera’s memory card. So unless there is some trick I am missing, there is no way to capture NEF files when controlling the camera with the iPad. I had hoped to use this capability to avoid getting on my stomach or some other odd position when photographing flowers close to the ground or controlling the camera remotely when photographing wildlife. The hiccups getting a camera to iPad connection make the whole process too slow to be practical. One can only download jpgs and not nef files, unless there is some trick I am missing. As it is, taking pictures the old fashioned way and downloading from the memory card to the computer are the only feasible way to go. this app is an interesting toy, but difficult to use seamlessly with the camera.
