5 ★ Sorry guys, i misused the app at the beginning. So here are my views: Very powerful app and very reponsive and friendly team! I've been trying this app since a week now on my S7 edge with my old Nikon N90 and it works fine. You are doing A GREAT JOB!! It's the best free app according to me and you deserve all the very best wishes. KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB. Cheers!
1 ★ The guys doesn't know what's mean of remote. We have to connected with cable to the camera to manage. Without connect phone with cable to camera it doesn't work. Stupid developer describe as remote...
5 ★ I have used this with Nikon D750 and D850. A glitch now and then but wow, what a great program. It makes short work of photographing documents and artwork... no touching the camera, so no vibration and consistent focus and exposure.
4 ★ My Nikon D90 wasn't connecting and the developer instantly guided me to the issue. Now the app is working, although it hanged and crashed. So instead of 1 star improved to 4 star, will give final review after using for few days.
5 ★ This is the best camera app yet! Little delays on the liveview is just what I needed and the fact that this camera allows you to do that for free is just awesome.
4 ★ Brilliant... connected my D7000 to my tablet and field monitor.. brilliant for self video footage . If you don't have a flip around screen on your device this solves the problem.
5 ★ Only dslr app that worked for me. Others tried and failed.
1 ★ Dosen't work on Samsung Galaxy Tab S4.
2 ★ Doesn't support Nikon D3500
4 ★ So far I've tried this with two android devices, a Pixel 3 and a Samsung Active Pro tablet, it hasn't worked reliably with either of them when connected via USB but works much better when using wireless. Needs a new UI though!
1 ★ Extremely unresponsive. Took several connect and disconnect to get the camera connection. Went to settings but gave up after pressing several times just to get it to respond. I gave up and unininstalled.
1 ★ Not working Samsung note 9 + Nikon D850/Nikon 60mm f2.8 micro. I've downloaded the newest version of the app that I purchased with Helicon Focus and the connection between phone and camera is super finicky most times they're not sensing each other so I have to turn both the camera and app off and reconnect, once it does connect the app won't lock focus A nor B and won't step focus forward nor backwards with the arrows. The video feed is extremely slow reacting to commands
4 ★ Very good app. I've used it once so far and was impressed. I am using this app with an older Canon 5d MK2. I could not get it to work at first. Firstly I needed to use an OTG cable as mentioned on their website. My camera was not brand new so it did not come with one, so I had to purchase a solid OTG cable. Secondly, I needed to turn on the usb debugging function located within the developer options on my phone. Thirdly, I have an option that says "Reverse charge and OTG" under settings which is off by default. Once turned on, the app worked. The only thing is, I am not sure that I can record directly to the mini sd card within the phone???
5 ★ I've tried many, many apps and devices for remote camera functions. None are perfect, but this is the best I've tried so far. I'm using it over Wifi with a Canon 5dmiv, and it connects and performs very well. This is a pretty deep app, so it requires some time to understand and appreciate all the functions. I use it for macro focus stacking, and it's such a help. I just purchased the paid version to gain RAW image support. Highly recommended.
1 ★ Very bad. Not connected. When cam cable connected to phone. Camera and phone also stuck.
