User Reviews

Users praise the app for easy pairing and using a phone as a monitor, and as a solid alternative to the Creator App. However, recurring issues include unreliable connectivity across devices, missing focus peaking and audio/level features, limited support for newer Sony bodies, and portrait mode/LUT gamma display limitations.
Pros
  • Seamless pairing and generally strong, stable camera connection
  • Ability to use your phone as a monitor while filming
  • Better than competing apps (e.g., Creator App)
  • Overall positive reception and high usefulness
Cons
  • Unreliable connections and frequent disconnects across cameras and devices
  • Missing focus peaking
  • Missing audio level display and playback controls
  • Limited camera model compatibility and ongoing issues with newer bodies (a6700, A7R IV/V, FX lines)
  • Portrait/vertical mode not filling the screen

You know what would be cool? If the M&C app had a slate on it! Because the app controls the camera, it already has all of the connections and information in it, so this app would be perfect for this.
