The damn thing is very inconsistent in transferring file from sony camera, particularly videos. It is a hit-or-miss affair on the success of file transfer. Imagine the heartache when after so long waiting for the file transfer to complete, as it reaches 90% or 95% it just stop and cancel the transfer by itself, no matter how close the camera to the phone (samsung note 10+ user)

Update: I found a temporary workaround for file transfer issue. In the app, go to Settings, then click on Saving Destination, press back and reselect the Playmemories folder where you keep your photos. My frd says you only need to do once but I need to do it everytime I need to transf Do Not Upgrade Your Old App! New One Doesn't Work! I hv no idea why they need the location of the phone needs to be turned on everytime we access the app and sending photos over to the phone is almost impossible..

Playmemories worked just right for me. This app does not. I accepted it for a long time though, but nowadays it became unusable. At first the transmission speed started to slow down, then connections started to get unstable every now and then. Then I was hardly able to get a connection at all, and if I was lucky I got an unstable connection with +1 min per picture transmission rate that broke down after a bunch of images. Now: Not even a connection with RX10m4. What was wrong with the old app?
