Thanks for taking this on. Now I know I definitely don’t want the app. looks annoying as hell. Once again Sony has created another complicated hoop to hop through. Really enjoy your videos keep up the great work

[@niceguyschool]

This was helpful. I routinely travel to remote areas without Internet (but can use wifi or wifi direct), does the creators app require internet to connect?

[@DR-fy7qy]

Phew! That is a lot of steps to undertake to successfully connect the iPhone to the camera. Do the images get downloaded both to the camera's memory card AND the iPhone?

[@user-he4fy9zx9v]

Hi does creators app allows connection to turned off camera? Imaging edge allows you to browse contents from camera when it's turned off, is this behaviour the same with this app?

[@ipinidaisuke6664]

Can we do via cable ? i think cable more faster than wifi

[@Fallenpheonix77]

I tried this app but it cuts down my 53 min video . What can I do to get the entire video sent to my phone ?

[@Psycotick]

thank, i have de sony a7iv, do you think that Sony Imaging Edge is better?

[@CharlieVN]

I don’t think it’s an option at this point. I prefer creators app for sure, imaging edge won’t work with newer cameras

[@jiayi3205]

Can the iPhone15 Pro use Creator for wireless transmission of H265 10-bit 422 videos？

[@tonypmedia]

What did the app do when you tried to do it?

[@7sonero7]

Had downloaded but didn't set it up. Uninstalled ... thanks !

[@williebravo305]

Monitor plus is better, it is not free, but is better.

[@laurent.dubois]

Did anyone find a way to automatically display photos on the app while shooting with the camera? It used to be possible with Imaging Edge app. Now we can only have a live view that drains the battery life and does not allow to browse all shot photos.

[@williebravo305]

so it does not allow to show photos while I taking them?

[@DesoloZantas]

Why does life have to be so complex? It should be as effortless as pairing Bluetooth headphones.

[@williebravo305]

Because they want to track you.

My Sony A7IV and Sony A7CMII won't connect to my iPhone 14 ProMax through the Creators App. Per Sony Technical Support, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is not a compatible device with my cameras. This again per Sony Technical Support!

[@CharlieVN]

???? my wife has creators app and it works fine. I have this working on my iphone 15 pro as well 😂

[@LAFD54]

@@CharlieVN Interesting. The Creators App doesn't list the iPhone 14 Pro Max or the iPhone 15 as a comparable device. I have OS 16.6.1 in my 14 Pro Max and can't WiFi connect using the Creators App. Hopefully a fix is coming. Thanks for your response!

[@LAFD54]

​@@CharlieVN Solved the connection problem to the Creator's App with my cameras and iPhone 14. Turn off the VPN!

[@SeanHuangRealEstate]

This app sucks as much as the Image Edge. Maybe more.

[@chitocua502]

no work

[@Ramkiller1]

ever got it to work? it stopped working for me.

[@screwyouyoutube5493]

Does not work on a A1. tadumb

[@CharlieVN]

it should after the upcoming fw update

[@BrushingOnBeauty]

I can't get this to work on my android.

[@CharlieVN]

make a checklist 1. Bluetooth enabled on camera 2. Bluetooth enabled on phone 3. Can you pair? if not, manage devices on Phone AND camera, delete old entries, try 1 and 2 again. 4. If you CAN pair, make sure you join Wifi, and if connections exist, may want to "forget network" and rejoin. 5. Make sure app on phone has every single permission known to man enabled, regardless of how invasive. You can always change that after you get connected.
