PlayMemories Online Software

I found out that the PlayMemories app is only social and the app for transfers is named sony imaging edge mobile. This is the one to use for transfers images from camera to iphone or other mobile devices. Saying that about this application I tried to use but didnt make sense for me. I use Lightroom for the share and album organizing so I am not sure it is for me. I love transfer my pictures to my phone and that was the reason I was using the legacy one. I got frustrated when I changed my phone and the new application PlayMemories didn't allow to import images on the phone. I kept the old phone for several weeks until upgraded the OS. Then none of the phones could get the images from the camera. I tried to find a third party solution until i got the app mention above imaging edge mobile. Is basically the same old PlayMemories. Hopefully this helps. I gave the one rating because I was not able to use what it was for me. I noticed some others reviewers have the same issues.

PLEASE? I have no idea what the purpose of this app is, and if it represents the previous playmemories app, that’s just shameful. I have had the same Sony camera for a couple of years and I used to love how easy it was to wirelessly transfer photos from my camera to my phone in a matter of seconds. I recently got a new phone and when I went to the App Store I saw there is a newer version of this app. I was wrong to think it was a new and improved version. It’s very confusing to use and has no way of transferring photos to my phone. I spent an embarrassing amount of time researching ways to make this work and ultimately had no luck. I will now be plugging my camera into my computer when I want to make a transfer. This defeats the WiFi feature on the camera and the other settings that are designed to transfer to my phone. How does such a large company downgrade like this? Please just change it back to the older version.

We purchased a bike for my son this morning so I happily recorded all the videos on our Sony camera, thinking I’d just redownload the app and quickly upload for our family to see (since we live across the country) What?! What?! What? I thought maybe I was doing something wrong so I’ve searched, but I literally can’t figure out how to get my photos from camera to phone like I used to before. This app appears to serve a completely different purpose, vs just being an upgrade to the old app. How is this the same app? They should be completely separate. I’m so confused. If doing such an overall why would there be no directions. Is it just not possible anymore? I synced thinking that was all that needed to be done, but now it’s pulled from my phone photos to the app which is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever experienced with an app before. I typically don’t review apps because you get what you get, but this is awful. I’m so confused.
