Updated my A7r5 firmware to 3.0, but the app refused to connect. The creator app is still working fine. -- Dolafie, 2024-12-29 ### ***-- "Focus Peaking is really rough" This app has a ton of great functionality but to be honest the only reason I got it over the free Sony monitoring app was to use focus peaking. I regret spending $20 on this app to get focus peaking as the focus peaking is really rough. Like things that are clearly blurred and out of focus will still show red lines if they are contrasty. I took a subject and changed the focus all over and they had very prominent peaking lines through the entire focus range of the lens. There needs to be a better implementation of focus peaking -- yiugvjguhhk, 2024-12-26 ### **--- "Not connecting iphone15 pro" It’s not connecting to wired iphone15 pro Works on android but totally unstable Developers not giving a solid response -- raj:usa, 2024-12-10 ### *---- "Followed Instructions and Nothing" Doesn’t work, the Sony app does. Yeah I can’t record to my phone with it but at least everything else works and doesn’t cost $20. Fx30 and zve10 trying on 15 pro max. Also tried on my s22 Samsung and it did work. Needs a lot of work -- Zackary Scott, 2024-11-24 ### *---- "No canon 😭" I only gave it one star because I’m hating on all you Sony users 🤣 -- ElliotGuidry, 2024-11-22 ### ****- "A GEM of an app, only one request" This app is incredible. I’m already using the full paid version regularly. Great work to the developer. Got one big/issue. Another reviewer of this app also mentioned a feature not mirroring in video mode that does mirror in photo mode: Focus Magnifier. If the developer can get focus magnifier working in video mode, that would be so appreciated. Right now while filming on my Sony a6700, I need to look down at the tiny camera screen for checking focus with Focus Magnifier. I’d much prefer to be seeing that magnified focus mirrored in this app on my larger phone screen. Again, everything else feels so great. The app runs smooth everywhere else and I’m grateful for its existence. -- Sammy Nerf, 2024-10-09 ### **--- "Fumbling a massive opportunity" *FX3 user* This app is so close to being a crucial tool for all filmmakers, and giving monitor companies a run for their money since we ALL have monitors (smartphones) in our pockets. Unfortunately, it is unreliable when trying to connect wirelessly. Especially when powering camera down, phone screen turning off, etc. if you need to quick re-connect for a fleeting moment, forget about it. You’re going to get frustrated and end up using the tiny flip on screen on camera. It’s also kind of laggy. When plugged in wirelessly, great functionality. Love all the monitoring tools it comes with. An extra star for the UI design. Also, I wish it remembered your camera. I was shooting in public and it kept trying to auto connect to some other random person’s A74 nearby. The app should let you favorite your camera, or give priority. Auto connect didn’t help one bit. Point is, these guys are missing a massive opportunity and sooner or later someone is going to come out with the end all external smartphone camera monitor app. Gonna try Sony’s that they just dropped. Hope it plays nicer and has a smoother end to end user experience than this. -- Corbego, 2024-09-29 ### *---- "Add Panasonic please" Works great with Sony cameras but would love it more for panasonic cameras -- JaKobmen, 2024-09-26 ### ****- "Great for wired connections" Up front this app provides great functionality. The ease of changing frame rates and having 180 shutter angle is chefs kiss. The only reason it’s not 5 stars, and maybe it should be, is that I still see room for improvement in some ui elements. Idk if it’s possible but if this app can also display audio levels it would be near perfect. -- Pic up Truc, 2024-07-25 ### ***-- "Missing 2 things ????" The app is great but it needs for the user to be able to see the photos on the screen when your scrolling threw the camera roll on the actual camera ! It also needs for the user to be able to see the photos pop up on the screen while your taking the photos just like tethering ! If you add these 2 features you would have a 5star product ! -- me.ballroll, 2024-07-10 ### ***** "Great App" I don’t come to the App Store to leave reviews but if I leave one, it’s a big big deal. This app is actually great. I don’t think I’ve ever even written a review before lol. At the time of writing this, I only tried to wired connection, but I wouldn’t even go for Wi-Fi since my Wi-Fi isn’t as strong and even if it was strong, I probably will still stick with wired to avoid any issues, this app is more than its price. I’m amazed not higher to be honest. -- Jacob Gago, 2024-07-02 ### **--- "Not ready for prime time" I really wanted to like this, and I will keep it loaded in case it straightens out. They need to fix their documentation, fix their connectivity issues, and run complete regression test to get rid of the bugs. -- R Albury, 2024-06-01 ### ***** "Best app for Sony" I love this app for allowing me to record myself properly. It works great wirelessly and is perfect when plugged in. Do yourself a favor and buy it. You will not regret. -- joaofssouza, 2024-05-03 ### ***** "Great app" I’d like to see EL Zone added to the app. -- river 2 sea free, 2024-04-06 ### ****- "amazing value, but ONE issue" monitor+ has brought tons of functionality to my smartphone at times when i dont want to carry around a full blown monitor on top of the hdmi cable, battery, etc, and it still offers just as much amount of value. maybe i just need a quick look at the scene on a slightly bigger screen, maybe i want to desqueeze my anamorphic lenses on a solo personal project, maybe im traveling and packing a monitor just isnt an option. this app does everything i need it to for my purposes EXCEPT one thing. i use the sony A7C II and like other newer models i can switch between photo, video, and slow motion video. when my camera is set to photo mode and i use the focus magnifier to check focus on my manual lenses the monitor also zooms in which is perfect; HOWEVER, in video mode the monitor+ app does NOT zoom with the focus mangifier, its a small gripe i have but a big one, it just slows down the process of me checking my focus while shooting video, if theres a workaround to this or this becomes fixed, i'd recommend the pro version of this app to every videographer i know. TL;DR: focus magnifier action does not work on monitor+ app when newer camera model is toggled to video mode -- TonyDaBoi, 2024-04-04 ### ***** "A7SIII Touch focus!" This app allows me to Pull focus by touching the screen in MF mode on my Sony A7SIII and not even Portkeys can get this right! So nice, Thank you Monitor+ . -- Song Maker5150, 2024-02-26 ### ***-- "Decent app, terrible support" I use the Pro (i.e. paid) version of the app on an iPad mini 6 with a wired connection to my Sony FX30. It is a good app and has a much better user interface than the free “Monitor and Control” app that Sony offers. The biggest reason for me to use this app instead of the several cheap dedicated 5-7in hardware monitors sold in the market is the ability to control the camera (such as focus and iris) directly from the app instead of constantly jumping between the native camera screen and the monitor screen. Be aware though the controls don’t quite work if you close the FX30 native screen. This appears to be a Sony limitation because I noticed the same behavior even with the Sony-provided app. Anyway, the app works decent overall. There are quite a few UI quirks that can be fixed if the developer cares, but overall the UI is alright, efficient, and clear. But I noticed one big issue with the functionality. Using Zebra settings in the range mode with +/- 1 range, I am finding that the exposure levels measured by the app is very different from the levels reported by the Sony FX30 screen. It is off by about 5% around 50% range and a little less closer to 100%. I depend on false colors heavily to get my scenes exposed properly and an error of 10% is a bit too much to trust the app. Also, I have no idea why, but the app won’t let me set zebra levels below 50%. The camera’s native screen lets me go down as much as I want. Anyway, here’s my big problem. I have contacted the support email and contact form on their website for a total of five times. There has been absolutely no response. Not even an acknowledgement. The app is close to being an excellent alternative for dedicated hardware monitors and I’d love to see it get better. But if the developer is this unresponsive even for an almost $20 paid version, I wonder if we should bother with this app. -- Touch writing, 2024-02-20 ### ***-- "Great app! I wish I could use it on my Mac" Just as the review states, I love using this app, but I wish that I could use the app on my m1 Mac. It’s especially annoying because I know the feature is enabled by default, so the developer chose not to allow this functionality. -- Cole Mowery, 2024-01-24 ### ****- "Almost perfect" Works great for the most part, but the latest update has a bug where the tap function doesn’t save. I now have to go into the menu and select touch tracking every time I restart my camera. If this can be fixed it would be 5 stars again. -- AstralxZack, 2024-01-12 ### **--- "Very buggy with A6400" Love the app, however it is very unstable. After buying and trying multiple USB to iPhone adapters and multiple Micro cables, I finally was able to get a stable connection and it seemed to work well. Happily paid for the full version after seeing the free finally worked, but unfortunately after updating to the full version, the freezes and “unable to connect” issues have returned. Now I can’t revert to the free version which did work. Another $20 in the trash. -- JSnTX, 2023-12-11 [View all Monitor+ reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Monitor+ In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Pro Upgrade | $18.99 | ## Monitor+ Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | Vietnam | Photo Video | #288 | | Top Free | Czechia | Photo Video | #305 | | Top Free | South Africa | Photo Video | #318 | | Top Free | Argentina | Photo Video | #335 | | Top Free | China | Photo Video | #349 | | Top Free | South Korea | Photo Video | #378 | | Top Free | Denmark | Photo Video | #424 | | Top Free | Chile | Photo Video | #425 | | Top Free | Taiwan | Photo Video | #432 | | Top Free | Ecuador | Photo Video | #454 | | Top Free | Kazakhstan | Photo Video | #471 | | Top Free | Indonesia | Photo Video | #472 | | Top Free | Switzerland | Photo Video | #479 | | Top Free | Belarus | Photo Video | #488 | ## Monitor+ Discovered Keywords -
