Review summary

Users report that while the Air Remote app functions with some cameras like Nikon D850 and D800, many experience frequent app crashes, connectivity problems with their cameras, and missing or broken features after updates. Multiple reviews highlight the frustrating lack of customer support and incompatibility with several phone models. Overall, the app is unreliable and limited in functionality, causing significant user dissatisfaction.
Pros
  • Works well with certain camera models like Nikon D850 and D800.
  • Allows viewing images directly on the camera via the app.
  • Provides core functions of the Air Remote hardware for supported devices.
Cons
  • Frequent app crashes, especially when accessing settings or stopping recordings.
  • Connectivity issues between app and camera; often fails to connect reliably.
  • Poor or non-existent customer support with unanswered queries.
  • Limited or broken features after updates, such as inability to save photos or use microSD cards.
  • Incompatibility with several devices, including some popular phone models like Samsung S9, and lacking features for advanced photography (e.g., interval timer for astrophotography).

Dont believe them when they say "bug fixes". To them, fixing bugs means removing features they can't be bothered to fix. Partial functionality lost from original claims, cannot use microSD card which makes case air of little use. Not sure if all other features work as I just can't be bothered loading photos onto my phone's limited memory. Tech support refused to respond to my queries until one day an update removed the toggle from the settings

No longer works. App crashes when trying to open the settings on multiple different devices. No response from customer service.

Not bad. Works well for my d850 but on my new z6ii the adu reads it fine but the app flashes "USB ptp class camera detected" and then "no camera" and I primarily bought the ad7 for control via device app. Pretty disappointed. Especially because the website says the z6 is fully compatible and the z6ii is essentially the same

Worst customer service ever, I used my device a couple of time before it stopped charging. I contacted the customer service, no answer whatsoever. Don't recommend this company at alllll. If I could, I would give 0 stars not 1.

Pathetic app. It just keeps telling me communication error between Air device and Air remote. Says check network connection. But seems to be connected on my network but does connect to camera. No guidance on what to check

Couldn't even get it connected to camera. I actually threw the remote in the bin. Waste of £155.
