Shutter - Sony Camera Remote for Negative User Reviews
✓ LagHuge time lag between Moving the camera and seeing the picture on your phone..Version: 2.77
✓ Nothing like screen shotsThis app is nothing like the screen shots. Took a long time to set up with a Sony A74..Version: 2.59
✓ BadSuper slow The Sony edge app is awful but at least it is free. This one is just a waste of money. Painful to use..Version: 2.69
✓ Great when it worksIt’s so nice being able to toggle the controls of the camera with an app but the problem I face is connectivity problems. It’s always a pain trying to get the app to connect to the camera when first starting out. When it comes time to to actually taking the shot I have missed so many chances because the camera hesitates after clicking the button in the app. I’m not sure if the camera WiFi just isn’t the best or the app struggles? I will have to test the native Sony app to see how well connectivity works between the two. I have also noticed the in app preview of what the camera sees “wobbles” if you move your phone around..Version: 2.46
✓ Grainy photosI connected my a6400 to the app and app point of view from the camera was extremely slow every pose I tried it took the app a long to show up on the screen. Also every photo was really bad quality. It’s almost embarrassing how bad they came out on the app. They was good on my camera but not my phone and the app. Waste of money. Developer could have done better just saying..Version: 2.59
✓ Not good menuNot good enough , I think free ones are better than this . No functional.Version: 2.54
✓ Works FineThis app works fine and the pairing process was easy. The only issues I experienced was the noticeable delay between taking the photo versus the time it actually registers to your camera. The second challenge was disconnections—I was standing a few feet away from my camera and the app disconnected within a few minutes of purchasing it. I have to manually close and open the app to establish a connection. My third problem is that during Shutter usage and after closing the app, I’m not able to send or receive texts. I’m a product photography who also uses airplay to send images to my TV—which I use as a backdrop. Whenever I have to use Shutter, it interferes with airplay even after I close the app. After using Shutter, I have to turn my phone off completely to allow my phone to receive messages and to use airplay, even though I have consistent Wi-Fi and cellular data. At this point, this works fine for in-studio shoots, but it’s not reliable enough to use at offsite shoots. I hope in time this app improves in its funactionality. 😊.Version: 2.77
✓ DONT BUY IT!£16.99 this app cost me. Doesn’t work. Doesn’t link and is surely not as simple as it should be for. Ridiculous. I want my money back. Thieves, really.Version: 2.40
✓ No!Same issues as imaging edge, hours of pain!.Version: 2.83
✓ Not worthI would like to cancel the purchase and get refunded.Version: 2.49
✓ Software lag and inoperable bracketingJust bought the software (since there is no trial version available) only to find some flaws in it. Moving between focus points, there is lag in display. Also, when exposure bracketing, the software locks up and does not release the click button. There could be other bugs as well that I have not discovered yet..Version: 2.64
✓ Only works in photo mode, doesn’t create a timelapse videoIt worked with my Sony RX10 IV in photo mode, but not in video mode. You need to make the photos into a timelapse video yourself. You need video editing software that can convert a sequence of photos into a video to use this and I haven’t been able to find one that does this on iPhone..Version: 2.10
✓ Forget it for A7RWaste of time and $, the developers should take this camera off the compatible equipment list. It’s probably flaky due to Sony’s old software on the A7R..Version: 2.50
✓ It worksAfter the utter failure that is Sony‘s Imaging Edge on iOS13 this at least connects to my camera and works. The major downfall is that you can’t control the focus point in this which makes setting up your picture more complicated than it needs to be. For the price I would have hoped for a bit more.Version: 2.10
✓ Too expensive for what you getThis app is far too expensive for what you get. It was a massive disappointment. You are unable to focus or even see what is in focus as you cannot zoom in on the display (which is tiny on phone screen) and it does not show peaking Also doesn’t show zebras I don’t understand why these simple options are not available for the most expensive app I have ever purchased.Version: 2.27
✓ Decent but missing one big feature/functionalityI like this app. It’s streamlined and has a simple unobtrusive user interface. The Tao to connect feature is awesome but it’s missing something pretty big in my opinion. It only imports/saves the image previews to the phone when the shutter button is pressed in the app but not when the shutter is pressed on the camera body itself. I would love to be able to have my camera connected and shoot with my on camera shutter release and still have the image previews transfer over to my phone cause the LCD on the back of the camera body isn’t as reliable at times. Another smaller missing functionality is to be able to control the time in which the app shows the image preview after taking the picture. Wish I could choose in app to disable the automatic image preview and shoot without the lag. Also it would be a great addition to have the camera control UI change orientation with the phone. If I rotate my phone landscape I have the ability to rotate the live view but the camera control UI are sideways..Version: 2.42
✓ No long exposure supportThere doesn’t seem to be support for long exposure when the camera is in bulb mode. Meaning you can’t automate exposure sequences longer than the 30 second camera limit. I can see this is useful for time lapse but unfortunately it isn’t a complete physical intervalometer replacement. I’m not sure if its intention to be though. The sliders for the controls also seem to close in the middle of adjusting them which is a bit frustrating..Version: 2.4
✓ No preview available for Sony a7iii after last updateApp working fine before the last update now no preview available after a7iv update.Version: 2.58
✓ Extremely LaggyTrying to do self portraits or anything timed is an absolute disaster, also the shoot button is ambiguous to use..Version: 2.46
✓ Doesn’t connectThis was good when it worked (for 3 photos) but it has only connected to the camera twice and not for long, even in the house. I spent an hour trying to connect during a photo session and had to give up.Version: 2.87
✓ Elegantly functional app with a useless and fatal flaw for Astro-photography.This App does NOT support RAW, ARW, or any other file format that is important to imaging. I wasted 12 hours of data imaging IC 434 using the intervalometer function thinking that when I get back to the telescope that the data was good. It was all .jpeg files. I troubled shooted the setting and the camera was on RAW and jpeg. I’ve also tried just RAW with the same results. My advice, do not support this app developer. I spent years struggling with cheap equipment before going to Astro-Physics and Stellarvue. This app is right there with cheap. And as a note to the developer: please do not reply to my review trying to defend your product. Fix the issue instead so in the future unsuspecting imagers like me aren’t disappointed by an advertised function of your app failing miserably, and costing time and money for “basic” functionality. Coding is not that hard. Actually, I will do it myself..Version: 2.78
✓ Not happyDo not repeat do not touch this just paid £5 For this peace of junk all it does is keep taking pictures on a loop not worth anything.Version: 1.4
✓ SONY A7IIIt says the app works with the Sony A7II, but not at all. The continuous mode is not even working and it was the only reason why I bought this app. The app is very expemsive and does not even write the good information before we buy it..Version: 2.46
✓ Waste of moneySony zv -1 problem.Version: 2.60
✓ Doesn’t work for movie modeBought the app with the sole purpose of controlling a Sony A6000 when shooting movies of our band. It’s not supported but you don’t find that out until you’ve made the purchase..Version: 2.17
✓ Worse than Camrote and Sony appHad great hopes for this app, and while Camrote and to a lesser extent the Sony app did what I wanted I really needed be able to use my Apple Watch to control the camera. The problem is that with any of the apps I have mentioned Bluetooth needs yo be turned off so the video feed works. The Apple Watch needs Bluetooth so the video feed is useless and So very laggy. Even with the Bluetooth turned off and not using the watch it’s way more laggy than the other apps. Waste of my money and refund request if you can’t give me a fix..Version: 2.83
✓ Ripped off - does not control all camera functions like play memoriesCompletely mislead into thinking this would offer the same functionality that play memories would and it is so basic and lacks useful and essential features I needed. Don’t bother downloading, absolute rubbish. Going to card issuer for a refund for being mis sold..Version: 2.22
✓ Newest version is horribleI updated it and it works on neither my a6000 or a6500 . There is no option to scan to connect and manual connection does not work. Totally useless.Version: 2.60
✓ Not worth itThis app works but it’s not worth it. It’s not convenient to use and I think there is a free app now that does the same thing. I tried returning/refunding the app through the App Store the day after I bought it and it said “app not eligible for refund/return” so be careful if you buy this and don’t like it you can’t return or refund it. Also... 20.00? Are you kidding? I know apps that do waaaaaaay more that aren’t even 10.00. It’s ridiculous. At the time of purchase I thought this was my only option. I wish I had not purchased but it does work and that’s why I gave it 2 stars..Version: 2.26
✓ A refund pleaseI purchased this app and within 20 minutes of testing it lags so much. Ended deleting the app..Version: 2.64
✓ Well, it’s freeThis app did actually save me when I needed to remotely turn on the video of my Sony rxm4. But it is also maddening because it looses the connection and the aperture control is frustrating. So if what you need to do is stand in front of the camera and start vidéo I think this is the only app that will do this for my camera, which isn’t new anymore. I am envious of the other apps out there that work with newer cameras..Version: 2.78
✓ Doesnt work with Sony a7iiiWell, it doesn't focus in the app so I paid 22 dollars for something I cannot use. Id like a refund, please. And yes, I did google how to "fix" and using wide AF on my camera just doesn't work as well..Version: 2.60
✓ App is ok but not really worth the moneyThis app is nice but not completely worth it I’m my opinion. I figured for the price it would have a more impressive featureset. It’s seems like it can change very basic camera settings. Doesn’t offer any sort of focus changing on an auto lens. Also if you can transfer photos from this app to a phone I have no idea how. My biggest issue is how delayed and jittery the playback video is. And the video freezes so I have to sit and wait for it to catch up. It’s not all bad though. I like how easy and fast it is to change aperature shutter speed and iso. However as mentioned before you need to wait a few seconds for the update to take place. When the image updates it seems good enough image quality so that’s nice. I have a Sony a6400..Version: 2.54
✓ Lags alot with a A7C on a iPhone 13 PromaxIt lags to the point where the app is not usable and the camera doesn't focus and doesn't take the picture within the shutter time. Its not great!.Version: 2.61
✓ There are better optionsSony’s imaging edge app is awful, and this is definitely an improvement but not as good as other free options I’ve found..Version: 2.64
✓ Great, but with some BugsMore functional than Imaging Edge app, when connected Works wonderfully when connected even with Apple Watch. When trying to connect, sometimes it’s wonky. At times, laggy on screen and touch functionality especially when using Bluetooth. Moreover, you need Bluetooth [on] to connect to your iPhone with Sony A7IV and to use Apple Watch to use remote shutter. With or without Bluetooth, on Sony ZV-E10, it’s extremely laggy! Ironically, they recommend to turn Bluetooth [off] to avoid lagginess. All that said, Still I’m using it..Version: 2.73
✓ It does JPG ONLY instead of RAWDidn’t even give me the option or warning of the auto-JPG. It’s a joke.Version: 2.26
✓ I can’t believe I paid money for thisLiterally does nothing. Now I have to waste my time trying to get my money back..Version: 2.19
✓ Poor supportMy camera is not supported by this app. Asked for assistance from app provider but they can’t even be bothered to reply Simply a rip-off/scam.Version: 2.65
✓ Frustrating and glitchyAll I need is a remote to make the camera take a picture. This falls fat short of what I need. Every time I try to take a picture something different happens except for a picture being taken. The menu of the type of shot comes up again and again and when I select, the shutter button won’t work instead cycling back to the type of shot. Horrible..Version: 2.41
✓ Extremely slow!!! I needed this to take portraitsI’ve had this for a 3 weeks now and the outcome is the same ! Slooooooow! The connection from the phone to the camera isn’t nearly close to real time and you would need to take a good photo. I’ve taken so many bad pictures bc I am guessing on when the communication from the app to the camera will sync. Definitely not worth it and I don’t recommend this for self shooting..Version: 2.77
✓ Never worksReally laggy and barely ever takes a photo when I click it.Version: 2.75
✓ How to choose focal point on a scene?It seems the focus is based on a human face only. If you want to focus an object and blur the human face how do you do it? If I can’t choose my focal point then what good is the app? Please answer and clarify. My camera is Sony A7 III. If I can’t choose an object to selectively focus then this app is of no use to me. Can I get a refund? I only bought it yesterday..Version: 2.77
✓ False reviews - useless appThis app is not as good as it claims. I purchased this app after reading the reviews expecting something I’m far better than the FREE Sony app. Buggy to connect and offers half the features that the Sony app does. You can not download stored photos and the connection drops in and out. Default Sony app works perfectly with my Sony A7 MK IV. Don’t bother wasting the money on this ridiculously over priced app..Version: 2.69
