Features & Capabilities

Sony Transfer & Tagging is a free app for professional sports and news photographers using Sony cameras. It speeds up image workflow by transferring stills instantly to a mobile device on location, without needing a PC or Mac. The app supports wireless background transfers via camera FTP and works while you shoot, with wired transfer as a fallback. For compatibility details, see the Sony support page.

Beyond transfer, you can enter tags and captions quickly with voice input and shortcuts. It supports IPTC metadata and can auto-transcribe Voice Memos into text, embedding them into images. You can create presets for IPTC fields, captions, and FTP uploads, and share them across devices through Creators’ Cloud. Requires signing in with a Sony Account and is available on iOS 17.7–26.2.

User Reviews

Users largely report the app as unreliable and hard to use. The main positives are IPTC-capable captioning and on-device transfer for certain cameras, but these benefits are outweighed by persistent connection/FTP problems, mandatory cloud sign-in, and a clunky, inconsistent interface across camera models.

Pros

IPTC captions on the fly with presets, sending captions with images during transfer and saving a trip to the desktop.
Helps photographers manage fast-paced shoots (sports/events) by enabling on-device transfer and captioning.
Basic transfer capability exists for at least some cameras, showing potential compatibility.
Some users find the app usable in certain setups, indicating partial functionality.

Cons

Unreliable, sporadic operation with frequent errors and instability.
FTP/SFTP transfer and authentication problems, with a confusing flow and multiple errors.
Requires sign-in to a cloud account, which many users want to avoid.
Cumbersome, confusing UI and workflow that feels overly technical and unlike the old app.
Inconsistent camera compatibility and detection (works on some models but not others), leading to frustration.

Recent reviews

SFTP has the same old authentication problems from way back since v1 Why can’t Sony get this pivotal feature right. Also can you add star ratings so you can select which images to ftp based on star rating. Thanks.
