- 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
