Please also provide a 4/6 megapixel option for image transfer as mobile devices these days have quite high resolution displays of up to QHD. Internal storage capacities of devices are also going up accordingly so file size is also not as much of a concern compared to the past. The extra resolution will be helpful for checking focus accuracy in post editing, for example. Thank you!

It kind of works I guess. It is a good way for me to use it as a second monitor to see what I am shooting and also a wireless remote control. However, the annoying thing is that if I ever switch apps or even lock my phone, I have to reconnect to the camera every single time. Dear Sony, please allow us to switch apps without disconnecting all the time. Don't use it for data transfer anyway. It is kind of slow but still relatively handy if you really need it.

pretty intuitive if you know how to read. I recently got an A7III and kinda freaked out when I saw how low the rating for this app is. I usually use an sd adapter for my phone to bypass camera brand specific apps when transferring photos but I don't always have it on me. I'm almost certain that people just don't take the time to read whatever menu they need to read and then get frustrated when things don't work. a good solution is to simply read the menu. this app works really well actually.
