Absolutely awful app. I don't understand why they don't just allow "older" (a6400) compatibility with the new app that supposedly functions properly. Instead, THAT app only works with the newest $1,000+ cameras. This app has so many problems, ranging from general connectivity issues to, "Oh sorry I won't shoot because suddenly autofocus doesn't work remotely, oops!" that it's infuriating to use and more often than not makes me get out my Canon DSLR from 2013 just to shoot simple self portraits.

Useless. It used to work like two years or so ago. Now, it's only good for personal information stealing and that's about it. Everything needs to be turned on for it to supposedly work; Bluetooth, nfc, wifi, location, ect. I, for the life of me, cannot understand why I need every single radio on the phone to be turned on when it used to work off of wifi only.

TL'DR: Absolutely terrible app. I used to able to connect my phone to my Sony A7iii camera and take photos before, but now I cannot even do that. I get a weird error all the time. Even back then when it worked, you couldn't do much. All you could do was to see yourself in camera, which was useful for taking selfies. However, you still couldn't change the focus from app. Sony's menu system isn't that great. I wish you could change the camera settings using this app, because it is a lot simpler on a phone. However, this app fails to provide that, even when it works. I think having a great app can be game changing in this day and age. I hope Sony comes up with an App similar to what DJI and other companies provide with their hardware.
