Summary

Users widely report significant frustration with the app, primarily citing persistent and widespread connection issues across various Nikon camera models (e.g., Z5, D3500, Z8, D850) and different iOS versions (e.g., iPhone 13, 15, 17 Pro). Common complaints include difficulties in pairing, unstable connections, and app crashes, with specific mention that version 1.8 did not resolve Bluetooth problems for the P1000. Beyond connectivity, users criticize slow photo transfer speeds, a cumbersome user interface that lacks essential features like batch selection and filtering, and inadequate automatic download options. While a few users find the photo sharing features positive, the overall sentiment points to a deeply flawed and unreliable application.
