Glaringly Missing Feature: Audio metersThe functionality of the app for multi-cam control is fantastic considering it requires no extra hardware except an iPad. However, multi-camera setup is extremely tedious and requires a router access point without an iPad with Cellular. Since Apple has removed the option to create ad-hoc networks, there’s no way to connect multiple cameras to an iPad without a cellular iPad or an external router.Sony has added USB-C connection. This is fantastic for one camera. Resolution and speed is superb. However, USB-C only works with one camera at a time. Multi-Camera still does not work. If Sony would add the option to use a USB-C hub and connect multiple cameras, this app would be complete.The tools like waveform and false color are adequate, but low resolution and blocky. Hopefully Sony will refine the exposure tools and add audio meters in a future update. Adding the ability to use USB-C hubs for Multicam would also be a huge update.

Update Firmware to 4.0: Comments filled with user error

TLDR: Great app, adds amazing functionality to an already amazing camera.Everyone complaining thier camera can't connect has no idea what they're doing. Before you download and try to connect with this app, install firmware 4.0 on your FX3, or the latest version of the compatible firmware for your camera. For those complaining about monitor lag, there is a toggle to toggle priority between dispaly speed vs monitor image quality, try that first. For those that are complaining about the app asking for permissions, Apple forces all apps that need/can save images to your camera role for each permission the app needs. Sony is not interested in stealing ot using your data, unless you give them permission. You can turn off the toggles to share data in this app and the creator app if you just read the terms of service options before you hit accept and toggled them off.Sony, you can do a better job of letting people know the requirements before attempting to connect to thier cameras. PLEASE add shutter angle to the FX3 and this program (currently only works with FX6), I also wouldn't mind open gate recording. Thanks!

Is it that difficult to make quality?

Is it really that difficult in the world of high end technologies to make quality monitor for your product? Ok, I might understand if it’s a startup from couple guys, but when such a huge brand as Sony does this…. What are those privacy checks for? Why there is no direct cable connection? You create high end cameras and can’t release a simple camera monitor powered by external device? Let people pay for it if it’s gonna work as it should but don’t ask to track my working location and photo gallery. I wanna control my camera on a bigger screen, not to save thousands of gigs on my phone, I have sd card for it

Great app it just needs to support more cameras

HeyThisIs…
This app is great. I really like using it and it connects to the Sony A7IV much better than the creators app. The issues I have are more requests:- Lack of full camera line support I feel like any camera released after the A7IV should be supported - Add audio record level display and controls- iOS compatibility I use an iPhone for a top down set up and it would be cool if the app could also work with the iPhone camera or at least Xperia devices. I know this is a stretch, but it’d be cool.
