This App does NOT support RAW, ARW, or any other file format that is important to imaging. I wasted 12 hours of data imaging IC 434 using the intervalometer function thinking that when I get back to the telescope that the data was good. It was all .jpeg files. I troubled shooted the setting and the camera was on RAW and jpeg. I’ve also tried just RAW with the same results. My advice, do not support this app developer. I spent years struggling with cheap equipment before going to Astro-Physics and Stellarvue. This app is right there with cheap. And as a note to the developer: please do not reply to my review trying to defend your product. Fix the issue instead so in the future unsuspecting imagers like me aren’t disappointed by an advertised function of your app failing miserably, and costing time and money for “basic” functionality. Coding is not that hard. Actually, I will do it myself.

This app works fine and the pairing process was easy. The only issues I experienced was the noticeable delay between taking the photo versus the time it actually registers to your camera.

The second challenge was disconnections—I was standing a few feet away from my camera and the app disconnected within a few minutes of purchasing it. I have to manually close and open the app to establish a connection.

My third problem is that during Shutter usage and after closing the app, I’m not able to send or receive texts. I’m a product photography who also uses airplay to send images to my TV—which I use as a backdrop. Whenever I have to use Shutter, it interferes with airplay even after I close the app. After using Shutter, I have to turn my phone off completely to allow my phone to receive messages and to use airplay, even though I have consistent Wi-Fi and cellular data. At this point, this works fine for in-studio shoots, but it’s not reliable enough to use at offsite shoots. I hope in time this app improves in its funactionality. 😊

It’s so nice being able to toggle the controls of the camera with an app but the problem I face is connectivity problems. It’s always a pain trying to get the app to connect to the camera when first starting out. When it comes time to to actually taking the shot I have missed so many chances because the camera hesitates after clicking the button in the app. I’m not sure if the camera WiFi just isn’t the best or the app struggles? I will have to test the native Sony app to see how well connectivity works between the two. I have also noticed the in app preview of what the camera sees “wobbles” if you move your phone around.
