On the fly IPTC!
davidjs
I’ve only used this app a little but it solves a huge problem when I’m shooting sports or events. I can do IPTC captions on the fly with this, that get sent along with the images, with presets for each shoot. Saves a trip to the desktop.
So far, won’t work on an iPad.

Tried this on 2019 iPad Pro 11” where I already edit photo and video. App will only open in landscape mode on iPad; it ignores whatever the orientation the user has set for the tablet. I’m sorry I wasted my time. Yet again Sony shows its weakness in software user interfaces.
Please FIX app

The latest UPDATE does NOT fix the frustrating multiple issues Of trying to connect any of the full frame sony alpha cameras. -unstable -too many steps -Multiple error messages when attempting to set up FTP transfer on a9 following all the directions on SONY‘s website. The Mirrorless cameras are great! Your free app is horrible and unlike SONY to put out! As a professional photographer, I would rather PAY for an app that works, so please fix it!
Seems to have lost geotagging

The old playmemories app supported sharing location to the camera, this one seems to have lost this feature, which is very frustrating. Also built in navigation is sorely lacking. When browsing the cameras stores photos there is no way to exit that mode short of turning off the camera or quitting the app. Same goes for remote shooting. The old app was way better and should not have been discontinued.
A Step Back!

This app used to give me a professional edge by downloading from camera to phone. Now, I have no clue what is going on with the app and it is not user friendly. I used to choose pics from my camera, open the wifi setting on my phone and then open the app and the shots would download. No the app just has a home screen that is a bunch of technical jargon and worst yet, nothing downloads and it’s too complex to figure out. GET RID OF THIS APP OR CREATE A VERSION LIKE THE OLD. This is useless and I’m losing productivity.
Perfectly good app that is now more complicated that the cameras they service.

It’s honestly hard to think of why you would change a perfectly good app, alter or tweak it to upgrade it’s function. It now makes no sense, and apparently makes the super simplistic functions the old app had and makes them much more complex for no apparent reason except to add captions? I’m stumped, disappointed and baffled. How frustrating.
Dislike changes
Bbydollcakes
Why is this complicated to transfer pictures. Please make it like old settings! this is not user friendly !!!!!!!!!! Change immediately
Typical

I am a Sony guy - virtually every piece of electronics I own is made by Sony. But that is because of the hardware, and is IN SPITE OF the absolutely awful user interfaces their software engineers (especially their camera software engineers) create, and this is no exception. My Imaging Edge app works - clunky, to be sure, but it works. I can’t even get this app to connect with the same camera that connects with Imaging Edge. Will Sony ever hire camera software engineers who know how to make things work simply and clearly by people who are not software engineers??
Absolute Trash....

Having to sign in it's not acceptable. I want nothing to do with your cloud. I just want the ability to transfer my files from my camera to my phone. No frills, no flash, just substance. Something this vaporware fails to deliver for the people that just wasn't working tools.
