Shutter - Sony Camera Remote for Positive User Reviews
✓ Couldn’t live without itMakes self shot pics and vids a breeze.Version: 2.25
✓ Perfect with my SonyI did my homework before choosing this and I am impressed with it. It’s intuitive and lag free live screens to iPad, iPhone or my Watch. It has great features and auto connected to my Alpha no probs. Would be good if the developer could rethink the mode selection method down the bottom right on the iPhone view, as I love tripod dark shooting and the option is not very prominent in low light. Perhaps modify it to look like a three way rocker switch? Otherwise nine out of ten. Awesome..Version: 2.20
✓ Intervalometer!Bought this app for the advance intervalometer settings to take family photos. Expensive but have provided a lot of great family photos without having a photographer..Version: 2.71
✓ Works fine on RX10 ivThis app was very simple to use and a lot of fun for me. I couldn’t download the Sony app, because I don’t have iOS 13, so it was worth it for me to spend the $30 rather than upgrade my iPad. Love the interval timer, and being able to photograph birds close up whilst sitting comfortably some distance away and also reviewing the images as they are stored on the iPad. My only wish for this and similar apps would be to be able to remotely activate focus to track birds not quite on centre, but this app is still getting me some great shots..Version: 2.49
✓ Very convenient for panoramas shootingI have two Sony cameras DSC RX 10 III and DSC RX 100 IV. Both of them work fine with the app. I mount my camera on the panoramic head. Make appropriate setting on it in manual mode. Then I make setting of the pictures’ quantity and the interval into the app and start shooting rotating panoramic head with my camera to the next position during the interval. I need 10 pictures to get cylinder panorama and it takes 20 seconds to complete the shooting taking high quality pictures by stable camera do to remote control..Version: 2.1
✓ Terrific app, excellent serviceUsing Shutter with my A7R4 and A1. Flawless with the A7R4 and I particularly like the combined focus+exposure bracketing mode. Really simplifies this process. Right now doesnt quite work on the A1 but I had an amazing interaction with the developer who gave me full explanations of what was happening, and their plan to make this work in future versions. Extremely responsive developer! I look forward to using the intervalometer mode for astrolandscape. This is a really nice app..Version: 2.77
✓ AnitaAn excellent app that allows for live view of camera generated image on your phone. The range is impressive and camera settings are easily managed remotely. App support is very prompt and personable..Version: 2.73
✓ Great app and customer serviceI didn’t know Sony has a different menu when using the remote control app. I realised that when I came home and only had jpeg on my cart instead of RAW + jpeg. I thought it’s an app issue and e-mailed them. They responded in less then 5 minutes, explained what’s going on and said they’ll try to highlight this fact in future release. Thank you for your honest customer oriented approach!.Version: 2.18
✓ Please read the description info before eating!Dear fellow Sony users, please do not rate this app one star just because you did not read what it was designed to do. It supports a great deal of Sony cameras, my a6500 included, but no, it will not connect to every single model Sony has ever sold. There is a list of cameras listed that you would do well to read before buying. If you bought it before reading, please check the list before commenting about how it doesn’t connect to your a9 or whatever. I use this app as a remote control and monitor, and it works great. The design is great, and I love that it has an Apple Watch app. My use case is simple, but it deserves five stars from me for how well it does what I need it to. The app developer(s) work hard at updating this app and providing support. Please make sure you are rating based on your experience and how it lived up to the performance the description promises, instead of uninformed expectations..Version: 2.21
✓ Great app overall, very minor qualms.I use this app as a cam ranger alternative for interior and real estate photography. The ability to check the frame away from camera in real-time is extremely helpful and the main reason I use it, which is the compromise of using a bulky phone and 600w monolight in one hand and a fully loaded tripod in the other. My only “wishes” would be to have the choice of selecting multiple/all previews that are saved so I can delete them all instead of selecting photos one by one. I have to delete the app and reinstall after every shoot. Not a big deal, but would be helpful if implemented. My only other dream wish would be able to communicate to a flash transmitter attached to the hot shoe of the camera to control flash settings while away from camera. I’d pay whatever you wanted for that feature, but I understand that’s not possible with today’s technology, at least not yet. Overall, extremely useful for my purposes. I appreciate the constant updates also. It shows you care not only about your product, but the community who uses it, so I say thank you for that, because it matters to me..Version: 2.26
✓ Love everything!There’s nothing about this app to not love. It’s fun and effective! The only thing I wish would to be able to download images to phone from camera initiated shots. I often use phone interface to set up shot then camera after that to take real shots using intervalometer for time lapses or long exposures. I’d love to be able to pull this into phone or iPad for review and/or sharing. Keep up the great work. I also love your responsiveness to users..Version: 2.49
✓ Customer ServiceIncredible Customer Service. In this day and age when it’s so difficult to get someone to help when you need it most, it is quite refreshing to work with a company like Shutter who has incredible and caring people that want their customers to have the best experience when engaging with their product. I can tell you first hand that when I experienced an issue, I received a response within minutes and the issue was resolved. For the record, it was my fault. The app worked as it should and incredibly. Thank you for the great product and service!!!.Version: 2.87
✓ Great little app for my SonyAfter hooking up WiFi from your camera I can control both from my iPhone and watch. Since my A6400 does not flip out for vertical low angle shots this will be a very helpful app. Also great for star shooting. Can do interval shooting and never bump your tripod..Version: 2.46
✓ Sony Shutter remoteI really like the app for just what it does. You put your camera on a tripod and with your smartphone or iPad, you trigger the camera. You can also bracket 3-5-7 frames, which is what i use the app for. Warning, if you shoot Raws and even if your camera is set to Raws, when you use this app, the default is set to Large JPG and Fine (quality). You’ll end up with JPs on your card. You’ll have to set it manually from within the app, every time you disconnect. Wish they would fix that..Version: 2.20
✓ Amazing appI needed an app with Intervalometer that allowed me to make changes during a time lapse shoot. This app does it all..Version: 2.64
✓ Sony A7R5I can’t believe it this application works straight out of the box with my absolutely brand-new Sony A7R5. Well done guys. This is the application that image edge should have been in the first place!.Version: 2.77
✓ Great app!Great app, works with both my Sony A7I and RX100VA.Version: 2.64
✓ Fantastic support!This app is super easy to use and designed in a very clean way. No complaints on the functionality. What really stands out to me though is that when I encountered a bug that prevented my camera from focusing while using the app, the Shutter support team responded to my email AND had a fix ready for me to test in less than 12 hours. I really appreciated having the app fixed in such a short time, as I could get back to shooting the next day!.Version: 2.15
✓ I use it professionallyUsed this app with my a7iii for a year and now 4months on my A1 since upgrading bodies. Solid app, and use it every day for taking real estate flambient photography..Version: 2.64
✓ Awesome and EasyThis app is thoughtfully designed and well executed. It’s worlds better than the Sony app. I use it for cycling photography self portraits and it’s wonderful to be able to control the camera from my phone, mounted to the handlebars. Thanks very much for making this app!.Version: 2.70
✓ A6000 connectionAt first I had an issue with connecting my phone to my Sony A6000. Since the last update had said it was a fix, I thought to try it out. It wasn’t connecting. I reached out to the company to let them know before writing a review or asking for a refund. Within the day, they had replied, offered a solution and then sent a follow up message just to be sure all was good to go. Great job guys, worth the $. 🙌.Version: 2.86
✓ A great appUsing this on my A6100 and it performs much better in every aspect than the Sony app..Version: 2.61
✓ Mostly a successIt’s a little buggy, ends up closing and needing to reconnect frequently but generally works and allows me to do multiple, longer than 30 second exposures for Astro photography so overall I’m happy. I hope it improves over time as this is basically the only option I know of to do this sort of thing with a Sony camera..Version: 2.53
✓ Hesitant but HappyThe reviews for this app made me so nervous to make the purchase but this app has been amazing so far. A lot of the negative reviews come from people who did not read the description to see if their sony camera model was compatible with this app. I am working with the a7sii. I had to upgrade my Smart Remote App in order to adjust manual settings from the app and the instructions were straight forward. The ONLY issue I have with this app is trying to connect by touching the N mark. I cannot seem to make that happen and always have to connect manually —could be user error or it could be a bug but other than that, this is the best remote app i’ve ever used. Great Job!.Version: 2.26
✓ Perfect!This app is absolutely perfect, it connected to my Sony a7iv very easily and there’s were no glitches while using it. I personally use this app for taking self portraits of myself and family and when using Sonys built in IntervalTimer you are limited to using one shot focus and it doesn’t refocus between photos. With this app you can use continuous focus and it refocuses for every photo!.Version: 2.70
✓ Fantastic appFantastic app just I don’t found in movie mode the zoom button.Version: 2.45
✓ Shutter gives us the features Sony left outThis app works great as an intervalometer for the Sony cameras. I use it for timelapses and for taking multiple astrophotography exposures for stacking. I love not having to bring a physical intervalometer around or pay Sony for a feature that should have been included. Grzegorz, the developer, is also very polite responsive to questions. I am using it on a Sony a7rii..Version: 2.4
✓ Didn’t have the feature I wantedOverall a pretty great app. I downloaded this program assuming I’d be able to overlay a photo in order to create a stop motion animation but realized that feature doesn’t exist on the mobile app. I’m hoping to get a refund for this as I no longer need to use this application..Version: 2.64
✓ Works GreatLove the app. Sonys app is quirky and often disconnects. This app has been very stable. There are a lot of quirks to get things to work that have to do with the Sony camera, but not the apps fault. Like you can’t have back button focus to use touch to focus…. You have to have mechanical shutter to use bulb setting. Both of these I believe are for my A9 II and A7rIV. 5 stars for letting me use my camera almost as good as a canon. Love Sony, but it is lacking in this area..Version: 2.83
✓ AwesomeThis app is what i’ve been looking for forever!.Version: 2.54
✓ Exposure Bracketing not working - fixedMy camera is Sony A7iii. The Exposure Bracketing is showing disabled and off. Tried Aperture and Shuttle priority also didn’t work. Update: impressive response from Grzegorz. Issue resolved by setting the exposure compensation dial in camera to 0. I noticed there’s a delay between the shots using the Exp Bracketing . Will be good without any delay. I also noticed that sometimes it doesn’t take as many shots as set - example: I set the Exp Bracketing to 3 but it only took 2 images; set to 5 and I only got 4. Not sure why..Version: 2.19
✓ No control over bulb settingsNo controls over bulb setting.Version: 2.11
✓ Great customer service! Thank you Grzegorz!At first i had a problem to connect my new Sony A7iv. I emailed y the customer service and Grzegorz was able to resolve the problems and also he will try to connect and implement new features. In reference to the app, it seems to work correctly so far. I’ll be testing a lot more once the weather will get nicer..Version: 2.61
✓ Great alternative to ImagingEdgeSimilar to Sony’s free ImagingEdge app but with additional features and flexibility on the settings. I recommend this product to anyone using the ImagingEdge who feels limited (e.g. only two time options for delayed shutting). Also great customer service. Ran into a bug, contacted them and it was quickly fixed..Version: 2.48
✓ Great app for Sony usersGreat app for using it to remotely control your Sony camera. Great features but one down side is it will not rotate settings and image while using into landscape mode on my iPhone. I contacted support and they were quick to reply and said this maybe due in a further update coming. Overall best app around for Sony users in my opinion..Version: 2.20
✓ First rateI have used this app with my A7IIIs and A9 and it works perfectly on all 3 cameras..Version: 2.38
✓ Easier connection than Sony appThis app seems to connect more easily than the Sony app, although I sometimes have to make multiple attempts to connect. Works well after it does connect. I notice there is an exposure compensation setting, but it is greyed out. How do you enable this function? When I am using a flash in TTL mode, it remains greyed out. Can you please advise on how to enable the exposure comp function?.Version: 2.27
✓ Who needs an intervalometerI recently switched from Nikon DSLR to Sony mirrorless. My old intervalometer isn’t compatible with the new camera and while researching a new intervalometer I came across this app. After trying it out, I’m delighted. I like the remote operation, easy to use UI, and the tap to connect feature. I had some questions and the developer was very quick to respond..Version: 2.62
✓ UghUpdated review May 23, 2019 I’ve been working with the developer and some beta updates, which have been implemented. The app is much more usable for me now. There is still some shutter delay (iPhone 12Pro Max) but that may be a general Bluetooth issue? Overall definitely a very useful app. ——————————- Can I get a refund? Really all I want is to be able to trigger my a7RIV using my Apple Watch. I do own and use all the time the actual Sony Bluetooth remote. I was hoping to have this app as a back up, however... I need to have the camera in a bracket mode and I need to trigger the camera for each of the brackets manually, when I press the shutter. With this app when it’s in single shot mode it overrides what I have on the camera. And as I say I need to control when (fire the shutter) each of exposures is made. Soooo setting the app in bracket mode is no good for me as the app triggers the full bracket (3, 5, or 9). Also it seems, even if I could live with the app controlling the bracket, this can not be initiated from the watch, only via the app on a phone or iPad. Sooo I’ve owned the app about 10 minutes and I can see in its current version it is useless for me. I wish there was a better description of its function here on the App Store, it would have saved me the pretty high cost of this app. Disappointed..Version: 2.46
✓ Connected straight away, no problems!I spent the best part of a day, trying to connect my Sony A6600 with the Sony imaging edge app, and nothing worked. I saw a YouTube tutorial using shutter app, I immediately downloaded it, thinking what do I have to lose?.. it worked first time, impressive! now I can carry on with my day, thank you!!.Version: 2.83
✓ Great app but needs some more updates 🥺Just purchased the Sony RX100 m3 and just done a firmware update but for some reason the app keeps telling to up date the camera and the app to change or use the intervalometer settings, & because I like to do stair trails and time lapse with this camera I need this function to be working ⁉️But If I knew there’s wasn’t going to have any more updates I wouldn’t of purchased this camera, so I maybe returning it even before I’ve used it 🥺👎🏼 what will be a shame as it’s a pretty nice and easy to use camera, just need the app now to up dated on a regular basis please Sony 🤔🤙🏼.Version: 2.26
✓ From 1 Star to 5Changed this rating because originally I gave it 1 stars since I was unable to use the app ur t a Sony sever error. Shutters customer service rep Grzegorz Świrski actually replied so fast, and changed my experience with shutter making me change this to a 5 star! I realized the problem was not with shutter it was with sonny. The app it self is great! Prefer it to imaging edge 100 percent ..Version: 2.26
✓ So far, so good! Just watch out for any VPN software!I haven’t had a chance to fully test the app, yet, but I have certainly tested the support and it is awesome! I couldn’t get the camera to connect. The wifi would work, but the camera couldn’t ever be found. It turns out that it was because of my VPN software. Once I figured out how to set the camera as a “trusted” network, it worked flawlessly..Version: 2.72
✓ No problem at all!Have tried a few apps to do time lapse video with my rx100 v camera, this one is the best so far!.Version: 2.5
✓ Works greatGreat support - fast to respond when I had an issue updating the software on the camera. All features work. This has been a life saver with a few projects for me, making adjusting settings and remotely operating the shutter so much easier. I am using this with a Sony A7RII..Version: 2.20
✓ Focus bracketing solvedGreat little app that remotely controls everything you need, including focus bracketing - a feature sorely missing from my a7iv. Still need to merge the images manually but that’s easily done on the computer. Well worth the price - as it’s a one-off, not a subscription!.Version: 2.87
✓ Outstanding SupportAs a lover of landscape and long exposure photography - Shutter is a handy accessory particularly at night and in early morning. Being able to be adjust settings from my phone is great. I can see and be more comfortable than if tethered to my camera and tripod. I have found at times that the WiFi connection is a bit hit and miss but once connected Shutter is a great app. I did contact support for help with a setting on camera that prevented exposures longer than 30 seconds and their response was immediate and accurate. This alone sets this app apart. I have not been disappointed with my purchase. (For long exposures the shutter setting cannot be electronic for bulb or longer than 30”).Version: 2.77
✓ Perfect. Sony should include in manual.I tried using the Sony Imaging Edge mobile app and it never worked. The camera never connected to my iPhone. This app works perfectly! I can set focus, exposure, etc and get a jpeg immediately to share to Lightroom. I don’t think Sony supports raw transfer to mobile, but I wonder if it’s possible to use FTP transfer? Maybe this app supports it. Regardless, I am super pumped I have a good app finally and it’s well worth the app store price. A manual shutter tool would cost this much with shipping, and that’s just a shutter!.Version: 2.60
✓ Totally worth the investmentThis is a really well designed app, the team have done a marvellous job with solid functionality. I was blown away with the live preview on the phone, and the support team is quick to respond to any questions. Thanks again and keep it up guys!!.Version: 2.19
✓ Great but could be improvedCan you please add the support to download it on M1 macs?.Version: 2.42
✓ Sony AS15I mistakenly thought it would work on my cam but it didn’t. Got contacted immediately for a refund There guys are on it. Thanks.Version: 2.42
✓ Easy to useI love it!.Version: 2.42
✓ Great little app and awesome customer serviceI picked up this app hoping that it would be better than the native Sony app and it is. However it was missing an important feature for my work, so I emailed the company a couple months back. They replied quickly and said they would look into adding the feature and I forgot about it. Today out of the blue I got a personal email from the developer that he added the feature I had requested. I am FLOORED. I have never experienced such responsive customer service before. Very glad I paid for this app, and encourage Sony camera owners to pick this one up and support this awesome developer!.Version: 2.12
✓ Comprehensive and SimpleHas an exception amount of built in functionality for a remote shutter app. I love being able to tap to connect and save my shots straight to my library. I couldn’t adjust my white balance or zoom with a Sony power lense, but I’m unsure if that’s missing functionality or if I wasn’t sure how to do it. Still can zoom and edit setting in camera however. Pretty great considering the price is comparable with a physical remote shutter, yet has so much more functionality..Version: 2.27
✓ Great app. Very versatile!Easy to use. Great quality photos. Very liberating for tripod shots where you can’t be on the camera. 10/10. (Using Sony AR7iii: only down side is no tap to focus on this camera model).Version: 2.54
✓ :)Expensive, but ideal.Version: 2.71
✓ Almost good. Needs a new update.I remember that this app it used to connect to the camera even if you were checking out your pictures on the camera but not anymore. I have a small rig cage and it’s a pain on the neck to connect it back again because it covers the N logo and I’m using my Iwatch to snap pictures with my family anyway the weird part that I found from this app is that somehow this app communicates with the imaging edge app from Sony while I’m using my watch to snap the pictures with a short time lagging and still focusing. I hope they can keep the app more steady on their future updates. That will be only reason for 4 stars..Version: 2.52
✓ What it does it does well!So far really like the app to control my Sony camera! Sometimes a little laggy but overall works well. The features it provides work as intended and I’m excited to see what new features they add to this app! Off to a great start and keep up the solid work!.Version: 2.42
✓ Great so far but would love ability to turn off photo send on intervalometer modeApp has been great for Astro photography, could you please add a toggle to turn off WiFi picture previewing entirely? Sometimes this can take as many as 5 seconds to send to the phone and prevents the app from starting the next exposure on time which can be quite frustrating!.Version: 2.45
✓ Great remoteI use this for landscape photography with a Sony A7R III. The app is very easy to connect and works great for capturing time lapses. With frequent improvements, it’s well worth the money..Version: 2.4
✓ Am still learningI am in the process of exploring night photography with my Sony a 6000 and this app, once I figured it out, has really helped. Had an update issue initially and emailed support and got reply and assistance within an hour. I do wish I was able to preview each photograph (maybe I can just don't know how) as that would make it 100% for me..Version: 2.25
✓ Perfect!I just purchased this app for my Sony ZV-1 and it works perfectly!! No glitches, no problems. There are a few features I wish it had such as transfer photos from camera to iPhone. I also wish it had zoom control and tap to focus (but i understand Sony discontinued tap to focus). But as a remote shutter release for my ZV-1 it’s exactly what I wanted..Version: 2.42
✓ Searching for this !I’m a real estate photographer and I have been searching for a remote control app for my Sony camera that wouldn’t, automatically, turn my Raw images to jpeg. This is it. It’s great app! Only thing I would wish for is a rule of three guides for my old eyes. Other than that it’s great! Customer service is qwik to respond too..Version: 2.46
✓ Worth the purchaseI downloaded this app when it was still pretty new! I was disappointed at first because it didn’t work. I actually forgot about the app until I wanted to take some long exposure shots and thought about purchasing a remote. I then decided to open this app again and it magically worked. I’m not sure why I had a problem in the first place but like I said I downloaded when it was still fairly new. Maybe some bugs needed to be worked out or I had to wait for an update. 🤷🏻♀️ I’m really glad it works now and it’s easy and convenient to use..Version: 2.60
✓ Better than the Sony app!So far, a solid remote with functionality better than I ever got from the Sony app. (a6300) allows use of the iPad to see so much better than on the camera. Not sure why use of AF seems to negate use of any other setting like aperture and ISO though. Can we get an option to assign a basic Bluetooth remote to action the shutter instead of sound volume increase?.Version: 2.16
✓ Stable and well madeThis app is much better than the Sony made one. The preview quality is much higher and the app is generally more stable. The interval shooting and other timer based functionality is really useful and works well. The only thing it’s missing is the ability to control the focus point although I’m sure this is a limitation on Sony’s side and just isn’t possible. All in all a fantastic app and well worth the money for me!.Version: 2.7
✓ Best Remote App for Sony CamerasThis is an app I didn’t want to get but it is completely worth it compared to Sony app itself. Given Sony as a leading Camera equipment developer cannot include the ability to capture long exposure images with precise timing is quite disappointing. The Sony Imaging Edge app is something so unreliable and useless, I cannot put it to words how stable this app is in comparison. I put it to test in cold night shooting timed long exposure Astro photos and wasted an hour of good weather with Sony Imaging Edge until I decided to use this in desperation. Things to consider - Great replacement for a Sony Remote. - Stable connectivity. - Long exposure timed photo shooting scenarios. - More features preferred. - Best alternative app for Sony Imaging Edge..Version: 2.67
✓ One of my best app purchasesThe app is super easy to use and very functional. I believe it gives a better value (for money) when compared to traditional shutter remotes. To add to this awesomeness, the support is readily available. My inquiry email was replied under 5 mins. In summary, great team, great app!.Version: 2.22
