What happened? Last year I would use it with my a6500 and it would connect and transfer super fast without me having to jump through menus. Now when I tap my phone to my camera, I have to confirm the connection which takes forever! Guess I'll try to downgrade the version! also can't change the save location of the photos and Google photos wants to back up everything and fill my drive storage. annoying!

Absolutely awful app. I don't understand why they don't just allow "older" (a6400) compatibility with the new app that supposedly functions properly. Instead, THAT app only works with the newest $1,000+ cameras. This app has so many problems, ranging from general connectivity issues to, "Oh sorry I won't shoot because suddenly autofocus doesn't work remotely, oops!" that it's infuriating to use and more often than not makes me get out my Canon DSLR from 2013 just to shoot simple self portraits.

Absolutely atrocious app, makes me want to dump the Sony camera I have and never use a Sony again, especially considering how good the competition is and that I have NEVER experienced anything as remotely as bad as this app to transfer photos to my phone. Shame on Sony, how truly stupid is it to compromise your brand with such disgrace of an app. And what's with not making available the more advanced app to owners of your series alpha 6000??? Absolute non-sense and discrimination.
