Almost perfect

Works well with my Sony A6400 - Taken some great shots using this of myself in the distance. Just wish I could focus using the app too, like you can’t tap to decide where the camera will focus which is annoying!

Great app but crippled by Sony’s software for the A7Riii

I bought this app because the developer gives clear messages about the stupid limitations of Sony’s A7Riii firmware (including how things like selecting an AF point were removed from this generation of camera).

Horrible decisions from Sony include:

• Menu choices for (what should be) the same thing in multiple sub menus.
• No remote menu control.
• No remote select focus point.
• No remote rack focus.
• No USB wired connection
• Have to switch between, camera control, transfer image, or FTP – all of which interrupt your connection – and you cannot leave the connect to camera menu on the camera or else your session is dumped
• No RAW transfer

I hope that the dev continues to find ways around Sony’s awful decisions.

In the mean time this app is 300% better than Sony Image Edge for iOS even if it deals with the same camera limitations Sony appies.

Perfect For Self Portraits With Sony A7iii

I am using this app for helping to take self portraits with my Sony A7iii. I tried the sony playmemories app first but found it wasn’t a great user experience. This one is so much simpler and a much cleaner design. Being able to control the shutter remotely has made my photography process so much faster and It’s so helpful to be able to see the viewfinder view on my phone. Thank you so much for creating such a useful app!

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your lovely review! Glad Camrote has helped you out. We’ll keep up the good work! :)
