"Worthless for focus stack shooting in the field because images can only be store on the internal memory of the device. When shooting a stack of 100+ images, memory really becomes an issue."

"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."

"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???"

"This AMAZING app stopped working after my phone updated to android pie. Please update PIE support. Edit: After updating, 1st time camera got connected briefly, live view didn`t got enabled. Next time onwards it shows `Camera not connected` while my canon 700D is up and running."

"Crashes when switching into P or A Update 5/2020 - does not work at all on Moto Z3, camera is detected by phone but not by app. Considering how much they want for a full featured version it should be flawless on modern phones."

"Good guys who put customer service first. I was a beta tester with my Nikon Z6ii and found a small problem with the beta version. The guys done there best to fix it out but as they couldn`t fix it right away they refunded me in full. Looking forward to seeing the updates."

"Will there be added features when shooting video, im not able to control the exposure when ahooting video. It does expose properly when taking photos but shooting videos you will need to adjust the setting in the camera itself meaning you will nees to take off the connection to preview the exposure."
