Sony | Creators' App

I bought a Sony A6700 camera and have tried to connect my camera to my phone using this app, but nothing happens and nothing came out on "Select Accesory"

Another terrible app from Sony, I was so hopeful that they would make a better iPhone app but this is next to unusable. Buggy, slow, always crashing.

All I want to do is add GPS location to my images. Sony says use the IEM app, but the IEM app opens this garbage instead. And still, nothing works. This is the kind of user experience that makes people switch to Canon.

Great app, great to be able to get photos to phone and control camera, but it keeps logging out when you want to use your camera remote. Real pain when you are in a remote area. For that reason along it is 1 star; if it had an easy way of using without logging in it would be closer to 5.

I vlog with my band Xile from New Zealand and take this camera on tour. This app works great for sending content to my iPhone 15 pro. I made a profile too! Maybe I will use the cloud service in the future.

Ive tried transferring photos from camera to iphone a couple of times but the results of the photos are just plain gray raw files 🙄🙄🙄

I love Sony cameras but it’s like another company writes the worst possible apps to do the most simple things like transfering a photo to your phone. Every single Sony camera app over the last decade is/was a flaky complex jumble that often eventually fails to do the basics at all. To top it off the apps regularly disappear into the ether to be replaced by something worst.

Disconnected occasionally

This app is required to download & remote control a number of the newer Sony Cameras. Sony would like access to your location, media, usage and device information. Don’t grant this and you get very frequent pop up errors. They want this for marketing and research. Camera connection via Bluetooth didn’t work, didn’t show why it wasn’t working, or even that a Bluetooth connection had been established. Wifi functional, but neither intuitive nor well implemented. ‘Social media’ component exists- you too could be a superstar on a platform that’s never likely to go anywhere or be anything. Cloud storage sounds tempting- but given how poorly the rest of the app functions I’d be very cautious putting anything of value on the cloud. Oh and probably worth checking that cloud stored data is secure, not used for marketing or research.

Sony really know how to abuse notifications, I’ve had nearly a dozen useless badges and messages this month alone, and the month isn’t over yet. And why does it keep polling my location even when the app has not been used for a long time? I really only wanted this app for GPS tags and connectivity, but it does neither well. You have to remember to open the app and “connect” to the camera EVERY TIME before GPS tags are recorded, so it’s 95% useless. Trying to get images from the camera to your phone is a big guessing game. I specified Bluetooth, but it insists on creating a local wireless network over wifi, and you are never really sure how, or even if, you are connected to the camera. The Creator “features” are no more than a cloud storage upsell, and the UI just smacks of generic low effort. Where is the value in sharing to a cloud platform that nobody else uses? I would like Sony to focus on making complicated things (like connectivity) more simplified, and stop wasting effort and UI real estate on a cloud platform that nobody asked for.
