PlayMemories Online Hack 5.5.1 + Redeem Codes

I completely agree with the last comment, I was like crazy looking for the old app, which let me say is way better than this piece of crapp, seriously you finally managed a way to get you to people dislike Sony doing such actions. I can’t believe that instead of moving forward you took 3 steps back. Horrible app, the old one was by far the best, so easy and intuitive, this move was a big no-no.
So please stop bullsh$@!?! And bring the old app back. Like the last comment said so what would be the WiFi function on the camera if there’s no way to connect and/or transfer my pictures directly from the camera. Which btw was great and a lot people would react to that saying hey man that’s awesome!
I tried to transfer my pictures the other day cause it was just as easy in a snap. Just select the pictures you wanted an Voilà, that easy and you can have the pictures you just took a minute ago. In your phone and your friends. Sharing memories was that easy. Now ? What am I suppose to do? Wait till’ I get home and transfer? That was a big selling point for you guys and without that? I’ll just get a cell phone with a decent camera and I’ll sell my Sony Nex 5r. No point on having it if I can’t transfer my photos to my phone at the spot. Anyway I hope you really manage to fix that cause honestly that was a very stupid move Sony. Thumbs down! Big time ! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Just got a Sony a5000 and spent the last hour trying to transfer a few test photos via WiFi. Everything about this app is horrible. From the clunky, outdated, and laggy UI to the entire functionality of it. It boggles my mind that this app is supposed to be supported by Sony.

Like many other reviewers, the camera and iPhone would not connect at all despite my phone being connected to the cameras WiFi. The camera would stay stuck on “connecting...” while the Playmobile app home screen would do absolutely nothing.

After an hour of reading through the help section of Sony’s website to no avail, I finally discovered that there was an alternative to this trash. I downloaded the Imaging Edge Mobile app that’s also by Sony which allowed me to transfer files instantly as well as use the smart phone control app.

Here’s how to transfer images:
From your camera: select the image you’d like to transfer > menu > wireless > send to smartphone > select on this device > this image/all images (the screen will load to WiFi standby)

From your smartphone: connect to the camera WiFi > open the imaging mobile app > select your camera (should be an orange button that says start) and VOILA! Automatic transfer within seconds.

But full disclosure, the imaging edge mobile UI is no better than PlayMemories but at least it does what it’s supposed to do, and quickly. PlayMemories is garbage and will be going to my app trash immediately.

You have got to be kidding me. This is SONY for gods sake. All I want to do is transfer photos from this $3000 camera to my smartphone. The camera has wifi and Bluetooth but don’t think for one second you can send over a photo! No sir! That is BEYOND THE TECHNOLOGICAL LIMITS of the Sony corporation. You need this app! What is this app you ask?! Well first you will need to sign in with your PlayStation account login, then it wants access to all your photos and will ask you over and over again for them. The default is to upload ALL of your photos to their cloud, like I need another cloud with all of my pictures just floating around. Then when you go to the camera and select “connect to smartphone” the app goes blank and you can go f*%k yourself because you aren’t going to get photos on your phone unless you plug it in to you computer and transfer them over just like I could on my decade old canon T4i! What a joke! Hire a programmer for a week and fix this garbage.

I found out that the PlayMemories app is only social and the app for transfers is named sony imaging edge mobile. This is the one to use for transfers images from camera to iphone or other mobile devices. Saying that about this application I tried to use but didnt make sense for me. I use Lightroom for the share and album organizing so I am not sure it is for me. I love transfer my pictures to my phone and that was the reason I was using the legacy one. I got frustrated when I changed my phone and the new application PlayMemories didn't allow to import images on the phone. I kept the old phone for several weeks until upgraded the OS. Then none of the phones could get the images from the camera. I tried to find a third party solution until i got the app mention above imaging edge mobile. Is basically the same old PlayMemories. Hopefully this helps. I gave the one rating because I was not able to use what it was for me. I noticed some others reviewers have the same issues.

PLEASE? I have no idea what the purpose of this app is, and if it represents the previous playmemories app, that’s just shameful. I have had the same Sony camera for a couple of years and I used to love how easy it was to wirelessly transfer photos from my camera to my phone in a matter of seconds. I recently got a new phone and when I went to the App Store I saw there is a newer version of this app. I was wrong to think it was a new and improved version. It’s very confusing to use and has no way of transferring photos to my phone. I spent an embarrassing amount of time researching ways to make this work and ultimately had no luck. I will now be plugging my camera into my computer when I want to make a transfer. This defeats the WiFi feature on the camera and the other settings that are designed to transfer to my phone. How does such a large company downgrade like this? Please just change it back to the older version.

We purchased a bike for my son this morning so I happily recorded all the videos on our Sony camera, thinking I’d just redownload the app and quickly upload for our family to see (since we live across the country)
What?! What?! What? I thought maybe I was doing something wrong so I’ve searched, but I literally can’t figure out how to get my photos from camera to phone like I used to before. This app appears to serve a completely different purpose, vs just being an upgrade to the old app. How is this the same app? They should be completely separate.
I’m so confused. If doing such an overall why would there be no directions. Is it just not possible anymore?
I synced thinking that was all that needed to be done, but now it’s pulled from my phone photos to the app which is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever experienced with an app before.
I typically don’t review apps because you get what you get, but this is awful. I’m so confused.

Would be zero stars if that was possible. Just as another reviewer said.....what is the purpose of this app? How do I get the photos off my camera now?! Seriously who is in charge of this at Sony?! I just spent an hour trying to figure this out and no luck. It used to be simple clicks with the old app and instantly the pics would end up on my iPad. The most disappointing thing is the Sony website which was updated in Jul 2019 still has the instruction using the old PlayMemories app which is apparently no longer, can’t be found on my devices or in the App Store. Come on Sony you are better than this or at least I thought you were. Get your stuff together!

And let’s be honest no one is using your app to organize photos.....your sole function should be to find the easiest way to get the photos off the camera and on to the computer, tablet or phone. That is it. If that is not easy you won’t be selling many cameras.

I am actually not happy I even hauled this camera on my backpacking trip because the other guys were able to upload their photos instantly to the shared album and I am stuck here with them stuck in the camera.

Again Sony you are better than this.....do you guys beta test anything before rolling it out? Do you even know what your customers want? Very disappointing.

My Sony Nightshot told me I could download this app and use it to control my camera. Sounds like an amazing idea, right?? Make it easier for short films in the time of Covid when you’re writer director AND actor AND crew. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I couldn’t even sign into the app because even though I’m on an IPHONE and downloaded it FROM THE APPLE APP STORE the format is COMPLETELY wrong. It doesn’t fit on my phone screen and is not accurately responsive to touch and drag. Aside from that, from what I can tell, this app doesn’t even do what I need it to do; what SONY TOLD ME it’s supposed to do. And it’s somehow affiliated with PlayStation? I need a PlayStation ID to sign in to use my video camera? What the actual heck, Sony???? Lies and glitches and incompatibility don’t even waste your time with this. As it is I’m mad I can’t get a time refund for the ten minutes I spent trying to make it work. Smh.

Tried to use “Play Memories mobile” to transfer photos from my A7R2 to my iPad which I’ve done numerous times. I couldn’t find the app anywhere on my iPad. It was gone so I searched online and found this one which is not at all the same. Turns out Sony invisibly changed “Play Memories Mobile” to “Imaging Edge Mobile” (which was still on my iPad and still works great for transferring).

This app is confusingly called “Play Memories Online” is not like the similarly named predecessor. It looks instead to be an attempt to compete with the likes of a google Photos? Auto Sync all my photos and community sharing? Absolutely no thanks. This app has nothing to due with connecting your Sony Camera to iOS devices. It’s a photo library app and not a good one at that. Just writing this review to save others who want to transfer their files some time.

This is the first time in my life that I have ever gone to the trouble of reviewing an app. But this app is so terrible, and so infuriating to even try to use, that I had to write a review. You’ll find that you can’t even log on. The steps that you have to go through to “prove that you’re not a robot“ are seemingly endless. And when the program will not except the proof that you try to supply that you’re not a robot, you’ll find yourself walking out and then trying again. And then the same thing will happen. And it will drive you insane. You might even think that you’re on candid camera show, and there are crowds of people watching you to see if you eventually you’ll go crazy. It’s amazing to me that the designers haven’t fix this yet. Or at a minimum that I haven’t pulled it off the market, given how totally inoperational it is.
