I bought a Smart Trigger and downloaded the app — both before and after the update for iOS 9. The app never recognized the device. I tried multiple times. So I returned it. Satechi was very responsive initially to my difficulty and then to my request to return.

Overall it is a decent app. Once you pair the device with the iPhone it works ok in the first two modes. However the Manual mode could do with some improvements. Like other users, when I am doing time lapse photography I find that the intervalometer lacks accuracy. The delays tend to be irregular even when set to a 1s delay (sometimes 2, 3 sec), and sometimes not firing at all. I suspect this has to do with the Bluetooth connection and noise in busy areas. This is especially frustrating when doing time lapse photography during the day. It would also be great if the smallest delay could be less than 1s. Satechi please update this app and improve the connection/signal as well as the functionality.

I bought this for use on a Nikon D7000. It was not up to what I have seen with other products from Satechi. I could not get the device to pair with my iPhone 4. I worked with tech support's help and never could get it to where I could use it. I went back to my wireless Satechi which I really like. My only complaint with anything that plugs into the side of a Nikon is how vulnerable they are to damage.
