I'm wanting to use the app on my windows10 laptop. I have so far tried 3 different Android emulators, none of which support Bluetooth. Can you recommend an emulator known to work with the Pluto app please?

Has anyone had the issue of the trigger working in shutter release mode but then when you go to time lapse or star trails it doesn't actuate the shutter?

Hi does Pluto trigger work on Nikon z50? It does not have remote input port.

I love my pluto trigger. I just wish I would have bought the water dropper when I ordered my trigger

Pos failed when on a milky way workshop at Acadia National Park! I couldn't be more angry. Unreliable POS.

June 2022. I have now used the app for a limited time but am still surprised by the lack of updates (none) to keep up with other similar apps. Starting to look dated lacking in certain areas. A lot has changed in photography in those three years. - From 2019 review haven't yet used the app, but I am considering purchasing the system. My only reason for holding back is the lack of consistent firmware updating. The latest update is dated 2019, now Sept 2021.

Great tool but app doesn't connect to device when using my Google Pixel 6pro, so I have to use an Apple device separately from my phone to make it work.
