The single reason most use this app is to transfer images. It doesn't work. For whatever reason, the app forces you to use location tracking (?!). You need to use NFC to connect to the camera, use bluetooth to keep the connection, but need a stable wifi to transfer pictures. And that doesnt even work, as the camera fails to switch to wifi according to the app every time. And manually connecting to my camera via phone settings breaks the app."

I've been using SnapBridge with my Nikon D5600 and I'm thoroughly impressed! The app is incredibly user-friendly, offers commendable privacy settings, and its cloud features make photo access even more convenient. It's a fantastic app and I highly recommend it! Additionally, an integration with the SmartThings app in the future would truly be a game changer."

Terribly buggy to the point of being basically useless. The idea of the app is great, and in the few cases where it works, I'm happy, but that's rare enough! Passive download over BT is just enough for texting pictures to friends, so it'd be great if it worked reliably. Wifi dawnload of full res pictures doesn't work at all, so I've no idea if it'd be any good. Very disappointed after paying so much for the camera!"
