Was expecting a lot more from this app. The connection to my camera (Sony alpha 6400) is frequently interrupted and the design of the app is not thought through: E.g. for controlling the camera with a phone the screen of the phone has to stay on all the time, and leaving the app, automatically disconnects the camera. Like this, I cannot use my phone for anything else while doing e.g. a long exposure. The same principle applies to transferring photos from the camera.

Can't connect my phone with latest Android 10 update. Sony literally makes Android phones and cameras and has access to all the APIs to connect them, and they still can't do it as well as hobbyists on GitHub. (Also, my old Android phone couldn't connect...) Thankfully, the app works with an Xperia, but only after manually connecting to the a6400 WiFi.

The worst experience possible. Connection does not work most of the times. The connection is being terminated as soon as you lock your screen or click on another app. The connection is slow and Liveview is rough. The app is almost unusable. Used with an a7III, which is a high end full frame camera, that I expect a better expierence with.
