blueridercarver,
Mostly good, but needs a setting to prevent duplicate downloads
I have had virtually no trouble pairing my D3500 to my iPad and automatically downloading photos. The only complaint I have is that there is no setting to prevent duplicate downloads of the same photos, so every time I pair with my iPad and download, I get both the new photos I’ve taken, plus all of the previous photos (again and again).
When I am on a trip/vacation and taking photos, I may take 50 photos a day. At the end of the day, I’d like to view and edit my photos on a large screen, so I want to download the NEW photos and add them to the existing photos on my iPad/Cloud storage. That means I either need to go thru and individually Select the new photos one at a time, or download all and end up with duplicates on my iPad/Cloud. Both of these choices are cumbersome and inefficient.
Snapbridge should provide a Download setting or choice that downloads only the “new” photos, and skips the photos that are already downloaded. The download choices should be ALL, NEW, or Select.

Phototony,
Doesn't work with the flagship Nikon D850 or anything else
Really, Nikon? WMU works with the low end amateur cameras. Consistently. But this abysmal failure doesn't work at all. Why is it that Sony can consistently deliver connectivity, but Nikon can't offer a reasonable solution for their top of the line camera, or any other (I also have the D7500) body. It sometimes worked with version 1 of your software, requiring forgetting/deleting profile EVERY time, then signing up again each time to transfer 1-2 images. REALLY?!? What 75-year-old, out-of-touch engineer thinks this is a workable solution for a modern professional who is charged with social media duties? Now version 2 of this software just hangs and won't connect at all. Calling Nikon tech support doesn't lead to any solutions. As an NPS member, I'm embarrassed by this incredible blunder and complete failure. Wait for version 3 and don't buy a Nikon body until they can fix this, something that every other company can do.
EDIT: With the latest update, snap bridge actually works the way it is supposed to. I have to completely change my review, as it actually works as promised, making the D850 the perfect camera for professionals! Took them a year, but someone is listening!

Does Not Work
I purchased a D5600 for myself for Christmas, as a friend of mine owns and loves this camera. I had also read that Nikon had fixed the SnapBridge app. I spent hours trying to get it to work to no avail. First, the camera and phone would not sync. Eventually I got the devices to sync but this appears to be a fluke, since I did not do anything different. Next, the app would not automatically upload any photos; rather, I had to manually select them. Finally, there are problems with the WiFi/Bluetooth function...my camera automatically turns one off the moment I turn the other one on. When I finally got the required WiFi to work, it turned off every time I received a text message or opened any other app on my phone (even though SnapBridge was still running). My friend, who owns a Samsung phone, tried to help me, but she confirmed I had done everything right and that while the app worked on her phone, it did not work on mine. On a whim, I decided to read some reviews of the app, and it appears that some other reviewers have had the same exact problems. A few mentioned that they had iPhones and were using the latest software. I am also using an iPhone with the latest update, so I wonder if it is a software compatibility issue. Please create an update so this app works on iPhones! I’m so disappointed that I can’t use my new camera and I’m sure others feel the same!
Chris Stockton,
Designed to get you to use their cloud, not provide useful features
First it doesn’t support video for coolpix p1000. Why? It’s designed to get the content on your phone to tempt you to upload it to their cloud. You would not have any reason to do that if it used the cameras built in SD card. As a consequence of them not wanting to provide a useful app for remote control they are unable to stream video on the limited available bandwidth. When presented with the option of saving the footage on the device or not supporting it at all, they chose to not support it.
The obsession every single company I interact with wanting to be a cloud provider while lacking the competencies to do so is frustrating. You make high quality cameras, do you not Nikon? Why can’t you focus on your core business, doing the best you can to create a high quality product and an app to fully support and show off those capabilities. Your greed to get into the big data business which you will never, ever manage to do successfully is now affecting your core business. A mindless decision of ineptitude or perhaps sheer negligence.
I won’t buy another Nikon product, I’ll add you to the list of companies that have lost their way to seeing dollar signs in the perverse data collection obsession plaguing our society. Pathetic.

Back when I got my B700 (first camera) in 2017 I absolutely loved using SnapBridge with the ability to download images off my camera through only Bluetooth (WiFi was only required for videos), I would tell everyone all about it and how much I loved the app and how convenient it was. Soon after when an update was released Bluetooth downloads was removed and now I’m forced to use the cameras WiFi connection, however for years now it’s been nothing but problems. The app will pair to the camera perfectly fine. I’m able to connect to the cameras WiFi with minimal-moderate issues however even when I am properly connected if I try to click download images I’m greeted with a lovely message saying “camera has refused access” I’ve been keeping SnapBridge up to date as well as my camera firmware and even iOS and over the course of approximately 2 years I’m still plagued with this issue and the love for SnapBridge has faded away. I used to live in an rf dead zone so interference plays no role. I have also tried resetting my camera. During all of this time I would estimate the chances of a successful connection to be something like 1/100 or less. It’s absurd. I wish I could go back to the 2017 version of SnapBridge :( (1.something I can’t remember)

Take your time
So, my first attempt at getting this software to work with my Nikon D3400 was a colossal failure, so I stepped back and read the notes and requirements again. My first error, I believe, was installing this app on two devices: iPhone 12 AND my iPad. That’s was my first mistake. It seems to confuse the camera if it’s trying to talk to two devices. And both were set to “auto link”. Naturally, the camera was confused as to who to talk to.
Second....GPS. I deleted it off my phone and left it on the iPad. But...the iPad does not have GPS (it’s a non-3G model). So I had location services enabled on the camera, but not able to do so on the iPad. Second point of confusion.
I’ve now deleted the app from my iPad, reinstalled it on my phone, and just started the app, paired it with my phone, and downloaded all my new photos (about 25 test shots). It appears to work perfectly. Time will tell, and while the app could be better, I think I’ve found at least a few points of “User Error” on my part that have been remedied.

Hard time connecting camera to device
Having a hard time connecting the camera to my device to transfer over the photos I’ve taken. I’ve had this camera a year but have only used a hand full of time & everytime it’s the same issue.
I’ve disconnected from everything, “forgotten this device”, uninstalled app & reinstalled & it just says not connected “camera is off” (when it’s clearly on) or says its connected to another device & wont download the photos. I check & it’s my device connected to it but no matter how many trouble shooting videos I watch or info i read I can’t get it to connect successfully . My hubby was finally able to connect to his device but in 45 mins time only 10 of the 98 photos had downloaded. We shut it off & went to bed. Tried again today & still says the same. This is extremely frustrating & takes up several
Hours of my time to download just a single photo. I’m finding it quicker & easier to take photos with my phone than with my camera :(

Just like all the other reviews- App Doesn’t work!
Worked great for about a week but now I can not get the auto transfer to connect. I have disconnected, forgotten the devices all both camera and phone, deleted the app and re-downloaded, resetting all settings on the camera. I even tried waiting a day and doing everything all over again in case it needed time to reboot. I’ve tried disconnecting everything with my iPhone and trying to set up with my iPad but that does not transfer either. Nothing will work. I can hit the manual download option and it pulls up all of the pictures but then takes about 20 minutes to download just one picture. I’ve only had this camera for about a week so maybe I can get lucky and return it and try to find something that will actually work like it is supposed to! Very frustrated because I have wasted hours trying to get this to work. Also not helpful that there is literally nowhere to submit questions to get help with the app. Only an option to submit a comment where they can not respond back to you. I’ve never left a review on anything before but this was just so beyond irritating. Also annoying that there have been plenty of complaints with no solutions.

Poor Documentation
Nikon SnapBridge is a bit of a mess. When I first used it years ago, the menus during initial setup were too large for the buttons to be displayed, so it was impossible to even connect to my D3400. They have since updated the UI and I was able to connect successfully. However, I wasn't able to see or download any of the pictures from my camera. About half an hour of googling and troubleshooting later, and I figure out that images will show up for download if they are in JPEG format. I prefer to shoot in RAW for the additional wiggle room for adjustments during editing, so none of my images show up. Now, that's fine and all, but all of the articles and guides I was looking through stated that images in RAW format would be converted to JPEG for download. This is not true, as the feature has either been removed or never existed in the first place.
My issue is now less with the app itself and more with the poor documentation. It works fine, unless you shoot in RAW, and then you're left to figure out that the help is inaccurate.

EXTREMELY difficult to use
Tried to connect to my D5600. Finally, after a few days of trying to figure out this convoluted app, I got it to connect but the photos will not upload unless I do it manually. Even then I’m lucky to get two or three to transfer to my phone. I purchased this camera because of its affordability and the ability to connect to my iPhone. For Pete’s sake, can’t you figure out how to make it a lot more user-friendly?? The idea is perfect. Execution, not so much.
*UPDATE*
It all of a sudden started working. I don’t even know what I did. It still is very buggy though. Dropping connections all the time. Having to go through connecting the camera and phone repeatedly is VERY annoying since it is not a clear cut method. LOVE the camera. The app functionality will be so much better if you could fine tune it. I’m upgrading my review to three stars. It’ll be five stars when and if this app gets the proper attention it needs.
**Another Update**
It is now working. Photos now transfer automatically.
