Better support for my cameras than Nikon and Google! I connect my Nikon D610 and D3 over USB-C with an adapter to mini-USB — my phone wants to charge them and won't let me change to PTP! But this app works immediately and easily. Favorite features: -Manual linked in app -Portrait mode live view, I have smaller hands, so having all the controls where I can reach them with one hand is super nice When I imported the NEFs though they were weirdly compressed, but they looked fine on my PC.

Great experience, I have an older camera setup (Nikon D2x) , and this program was able to help. I knew it was not in the list of compatible cameras, but I insisted. I was able to connect my pixel 6 (Android 14) to my Nikon D2x (version 2.0) and use Party mode to take a remote picture , preview, download, share my photos, organize and delete. My camera is not a live view type, and I knew the limitations. The ability to take a still shot is very helpful. Great customer support!

Thank you for designing an app that really works with my Nikon 850 and an Android Phone. It works great and is very reliable. The best part is that connecting is fast and consistent. Nikon Snap bridge is hard to connect and is very unreliable. When I need to connect to the camera and shoot or review photos onto the camera through my phone, I do not need to make multiple attempts to connect! Great job...great application. I would also like to use my iPad as well.
