Comments on Remote Release for Android

★★★★★ Worked a charm. I used a Pixel XL, with the supplied USB C to USB A adaptor, into the mini USB socket on my Canon D60.
★★★★★ works on my Canon 5D mark ii and Sony Xperia T2 with Lollipop Android OS. First time it doesnt work but i resolve the problem by changing the USB cable to my camera, looks like the cheap one is not work or maybe not compatible
★★★★★ Works well. I tried it out with my Huawei P10 with A MICRO USB OTG and MICRO USB to USB C adapter into Canon 650D and it worked! Had to try a couple of different OTG cables (I had anyway). Super happy. Many thanks!
★★★★★ root@localhost:8000
★★☆☆☆ Nexus 7 (2013) won't work! I've read other reviews about the Nexus 7 not recognizing the camera. I'm really sad about this because I really wanted this to work, but I guess the rumors are true. If you have a nexus 7 or Nexus 7 2013, beware. The only thing the developers stated was that it was the devices fault. This is a major bug and I like to see some movement to have it fixed
★★☆☆☆ Samsung galaxy S7 & Canon 7D Mk II wifi. connection possible via wifi. All of camera buttons disabled just the shutter release on phone is active. probably some SW bug still there.
★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work. It detects my camera, but it tells me to turn my camera on / off and reconnect then restart the app. It detects it again and does the same thing. Either that or the screen just stays black.
★★☆☆☆ Bulb mode doesn't work. Even if the shutter is set to Bulb mode on canon 600d, the photo is taken in normal shutter. The app is installed on moto-G. Everything else works fine except for bulb mode.
