Content Browser Mobile Negative Reviews
Typical SonyOnce again, Sony’s amazing camera hardware is backed up by shoddy software. I really wish they’d grow their software engineering team and hire some competent programmers. This is the company that’s had a “Paint” option in their menus for who knows how many years, so that seems unlikely.Slippery StairVersion: 3.7.0
Pretty UselessI mean, unless you really need to watch yourself because you’re solo...there’s no real need for this app. I use it with my FS5 sometimes (if I remember I have it) and it’s honestly just good for monitoring what’s going on. Sure you can hit record but, you can also do that before you get in front of the camera. It’s not hard to cut that bit out..Lord VossVersion: 3.5.0
Updates needed* needs to allow Touch to focus while monitoring during the app
* needs show the AF point
* needs to show face priority for face tracking
* needs to have audio in playback
* needs to learn from the FX9 user groups on Facebook.Walter The BalterVersion: 3.4.0
Easy to connect, pretty much nothing else worksGot it to connect to the FS5 with most current firmware 4.03 suprisingly easily. Other than that it’s pretty worthless. I’m using an IPhone 6s Plus so maybe it’s too old? But non of the limited functions work. I can hit record but can’t change iris or zoom or get focus. Pretty worthless..Why Use SonyVersion: 3.3.0
Terrible ResolutionThis application seems to have been entirely forgotten. The resolution of the video feed is far worse than with the Imaging Edge Mobile app. The UI and controls feel outdated.
And, basic features in the Imaging EdgeMobile app aren’t there, like setting the camera date and time..SkyMakaiVersion: 3.7.0
What’s the point?!1. It is a tedious process to connect
2. How can you monitor the camera with a resolution max of a astounding 480p image?
If you can’t monitor above 480p? What is the point of even having a monitoring feature? We should at minimum be able to monitor at 720p resolution..Gabe SheffieldVersion: 3.7.1
Cannot control Menu SystemThis is disappointing that you cannot control the menu system. Can’t change frame rates, aspect ratios and simply even iso or white balance. I will update my review when the app gets full functionality in place..Jmedina509Version: 3.0.0
GarbageDisconnects every 5 seconds.Oneofthem77Version: 3.4.1
No FS 2 support??How is it that it works with the FA5 but not the FS7??.KapvinVersion: 3.1.0
Would be great…if it worked.I already upgraded to the iPhone 6 Plus, but its not working with the PXW-X70. I simply get “device not found” on every device search. Turning the phone on and off and removing / reading the app does not help. It would be great if Apple would open up the NFC chip to 3rd parties…then I wouldn’t even be messing with WiFi. Oh well..StevenholmesstudioVersion: 1.4.0
Buggy softwareTried using this app with the Sony PXW-X70 and it wouldn't work. I could see the cameras wifi signal with my iPhone 5s but when I tried to connect with my app it just gave me a "device not found."
Very buggy software and camera! Beware..TicklemefancyVersion: 1.4.0
Basically nothing more than a remote controlConnects FS5 to iPad and allows live view and start and stop of recording, but does not allow any playback of any clips. Apparently you cannot “browse” any “content”.
The Gopro app works better than this..FS5-ipadVersion: 2.2.0
Does not workMonitoring crashes. Will not work. Glad I bought this camera for it not to have this feature..SmallindianaVersion: 2.3.0
Not working with PXW-x70IPhone 6,

In iPhone Settings WiFi I can see the Camera ID.
I type in the Password and it connects.
Open CBM version 2.0.1 to the Connect Menu.
Select Search,
I get “Device not found.”
Dead end as nothing in the Camera and App Manual addresses this. No Troubleshooting methods. Doesn’t work and no useful help provided..SeeCraigVersion: 2.0.1
