Alpha Linker Reviews

As I intend to use my RX100 iv a lot with my iPone 14 Pro Max, I needed the Sony Alpha Linker app.

I followed the directions in AlphaLinker on my phone. The camera and phone connect very quickly and the message on the camera immediately pops up “Sharing” after I select the RX100M4 Wi-Fi.

But

The camera shows it is connected and sharing yet this is on the PHOTOS screen in AlphaLinker , but I can not get access to see the images on the phone so I can select them. I rebooted the phone and tried a dozen times and removed and added the camera a couple of times.

IF ONLY THUS WOULD WORK!!!!

AlphaLinker was made in a 4 by 4 hut in the middle of Yugoslavia. Developers have no idea what’s going on with their own app and respond to reviews with things you’ve most likely already tried and robotic responses AlphaLinker is unusable you can’t even preview videos if you are lucky enough to pull up your camera roll. Broken app that has been given up on don’t even waste your money

Its lame that you get a demo to try this product for free and then forced to buy it. I have the a6600 and it is an amazing camera, the wireless transfer to any device through AlphaLinker is annoying. Constantly dropping signal and having to reconnect, but it does work just after a few tries.

Absolutely horrible app. Will not work. I’ve updated iOS, deleted and redownloaded AlphaLinker , nothing works. Extremely frustrating. I have a Sony a7iii. I never write reviews but after paying so much for a nice camera flaunting its abilities in the description such as phone connection, it’s extremely disappointing it does not work.

You basically have to “exit” out of AlphaLinker each time you download an image because there is no “home” page. You cannot download more photos after downloading a set because it only shows the current selection and cannot refresh the page.

Yikes,

I spent $8 to download my photos and for some reason every time I try to download photos from a new date it won’t let me. It will only download older photos on my camera for some odd reason. I’ve tried this over and over again and it just wont let me. It connects to my Sony Camera (I have a DSC-WX350) but save your money and buy an SD card reader instead.

Works great! Unless you’re using a camera that takes higher resolution images = larger files. AlphaLinker will auto disconnect mid transfer or ‘suspend’ it all together. Also, 45min to transfer 2, 36MB files is ridiculous.

I’ve seen the developer replies on other reviews. Not impressed with the lack of support, technical knowledge, let alone any ownership of application faults. Do better.

Worked well for a while until all of a sudden whenever I tried connecting to my camera it would show the connecting screen for half a second then just cancel and not connect at all. I tried deleting and reinstalling AlphaLinker , checking my settings for AlphaLinker (network connections allowed), and even messed with my camera. Also the user guide is useless and there’s nowhere except here to get help for any information.

I had to install and uninstall my Sony A7iii multiple times before it finally connected. The first download of pictures and videos was pretty seamless. However after the free trial, and after paying for the upgrade. I experienced the same connectivity problem. Once I finally figured out how to connect, I dealt with part of my pictures not loading into the library. Of the few that did load into the library, I was unable to download any of them.

I have a Sony and AlphaLinker is helpful when downloading picture but when it comes to video it says success on the download portion but when I check my camera roll I don’t have any access to the videos. I bought the “pro” and am still having the same issue

SONY provides an app called Imaging Edge mobile, which lets you download by date. AlphaLinker seems to only let you download by photo. This is painfully slow if you have hundreds of photos.

I’m not sure how this is better than the Sony provided app.

WiFi doesn't connect easily. Selecting and downloading photos is slow and very manual.
Have to then move photos to Photos to be able to open them!

There are better, more convenient Sony apps.

Recently started using my A6000 again, the original app that we used to download photos was awful but this one did the trick.

The one issue I have is that you’re not able to select photos from an entire time period and must select manually. Hoping developers can fix this issue in the future.

I love AlphaLinker, I have a a7ii and it helped me download 1000 photos!!!
Pros: easy to connect
Fast at downloading
Overall great app
Cons: costs $8, but is very worth it!!!

I was able to connect right away with my a6000 then last IOS update doesn’t work, had to delete and reinstall now it works again

Big Thanks to Sony for making it easy to get fresh picture into my phone for sharing!

Does what it claims. Works on my 13 Pro and transfers images from my original A7s. User guide is clear and easy to follow even when skimming.

Just pulled my old Sony camera out of the drawer and wanted to download a bunch of the photos that I had on the card. The Sony branded app no longer is available so this was a lifesaver. AlphaLinker to help me do what I needed to do. Pretty easy to use. Thank you!

I’ve been searching for so long and finally this is exactly what I needed. Thank you 🙏🏻

Easy to transfer works well. Pay to auto reconnect to your camera's wifi. Also only loads 50(?) images at a time for preview, need to auto load way more for a better experience.
