What a joke!
Snapbridge is junk
After spending 3,300 dollars on a camera body and another 4,200 dollars in lenses! You would think they could get a simple app right! Absolute junk! I have ios 11.4.1 and SnapBridge is hell connecting and when your lucky to connect it craps out every time! I think every D850 owner should connect a class action suit attorney and sue the hell out of Nikon for false advertising a product that doesn’t work! Get your act together Nikon and fix your garbage app! Or just send me 7,500 dollars and I’ll switch back to Canon! Funny my lesser Nikon D7200 connects like magic to download pictures and use as a remote very easy!
Absolutely horrible

After trying to pair with my iPhone SE ( about a million times ) I got it to work probrobly 1/30 times. And since then I haven’t been able to get it to work. I have a b500 and I’m trying to do YouTube with it. I can upload through my pc, but if I want to add extra effects, the phone is the way to go. Very disappointed. : (
Works amazing

This app makes it so easy to get my photos from my camera to my phone. I had been looking for a way because I had a picture I wanted to put as my screensaver, and this app was an answer to a prayer LOL. Only disadvantage is even if you do two megapixel downloads it is still a little blurry and not as refined as it was when the photo was taken. But still a great app. Maybe add an editing feature?
Took a while to figure out how it works

My experience with Snapbridge, D7500 and iOS Now It works well for me and I understand it’s limitations. It took a while. Maybe this can help you make it work - Nikon has a great video to help you connect the camera to the first time - Once connected (paired) you should not need to do that again. So you will not need the camera function “connect to smart device” again. - with the camera and Snapbridge both on and close to each other, they will connect by themselves. The connection is evidenced by the Bluetooth (BT) symbol on the iOS device and camera BT symbol on solid. - when the camera display goes to sleep, so does the Bluetooth connection unless you enable the BT “send while off” function in the setup menu. When the camera wakes up so does the BT connection all by itself. You may want to set your Custom Setting C2 timer to 10seconds or longer. - Snapbridge only works with .jpg files. - if you only shoot .nef files, you can use the camera Retouch menu to convert selected files to .jpg. Then use Playback menu to select and send .jpg files to your iOS device. If Snapbridge “cloud” is setup to Auto upload, your files will be uploaded to Nikon Image Space. - some Snapbridge camera “Auto link” functions are duplicated in your camera. So both need to be on to activate that function. Think auto download, synchronize location... - Snapbridge download function only works with WiFi. BT must be connected first to connect with WiFi. You select the .jpg files on your iOS device and click download. WiFi stays on in camera and Snapbridge until you turn it off in Snapbridge or turn the camera off. - Remote photography works on WiFi and allows you to change P,M,A,S modes take pics and more. Focus by pressing the iOS screen display.
Bluetooth explanation

You have to keep deleting and re downloading the app in order to keep it working ... once you stop the connection... it won’t reconnect. And if you turn off The Bluetooth on you DSLR... it Will gray out !! Camera ppl know what I’m taking about. Soooo... in order to get the Bluetooth to Re highlight on your DSLR... you must delete this app... and re-download this app and go through all the crap settings and pairing it up again. Yep... that’s what ya have to do.
Unable to download to IOS.

Bought camera for trip to Africa. Downloaded 23 photos, now have tried for 72 hours to download the rest. Can’t get pictures from camera to iPad, as it keeps saying connection failure, or camera is paired to another device. Returning camera for one I can get pictures from. I should have read reviews before buying. It is a nightmare.
False sense of backup

App will auto load photos on phone or tablet, but will only do so in very low quality. No RAW photo downloads, only 2 MP highly compressed jpegs. I was away and unfortunately ran out of space on my memory card. Backed up all of my photos to my iPad and then deleted the contents of the SD card. Thank goodness I only lost one day of photos.
