In short
Remote app:PlayMemories Mobile is a free Android app from Sony Corporation. It is a great way to transfer pics.
Highlights
Definitely useful during family outing
Now I'm able to transfer pics
Works perfectly on my Sony Ultra z1
Best just to have a simple remote on your keychain
Easy to use specially connecting with NFC and transferring files
It's like you actively tried to make the user interface terrible
This remote app FAILS to record still photos in RAW format
I tried the WA given in the news section of app still didnt work
Unable to use the app with location settings turned off
I'm Constantly force closing this app
Would not even start without accessing location information
Because this is unacceptable for a 400 euro actioncam
It either ignores the device password or says connecting forever
Picture formats and information are preset and not changeable
Image quality of the uploaded image is horrible
