Your library is the home screen.
No connection screen to get past. Shots on the camera are grouped by day, new ones are marked, and photos you’ve already imported show up straight away while the camera is still waking.

Bluetooth off. Bluetooth on. Forget the camera. Pair it again. Restart the app. Watch the transfer stall at 63 percent. If you shoot Nikon, you know the routine. We got tired of it too, so we built the app we wanted.
Open the app. That’s the whole connection step.
It finds your camera.
Over Bluetooth, the moment you open the app. If the camera’s asleep, a half-press of the shutter wakes it.
It joins the camera’s Wi-Fi.
No network to pick, no settings to visit. Your shots appear, grouped by day, with the new ones marked.
One tap brings everything new.
RAW and HEIF come across together, at full size. Photos you already have are skipped.
Then put your phone away.
Transfers keep running with the screen locked, and progress shows on the Lock Screen.

Waking ZR
RAW, straight into Lightroom.
Each NEF comes across with its HEIF partner, at full size, even when they’re on different cards. Send the RAW to Lightroom to edit and the HEIF to Photos to share.

Choose a few, or take everything new.
Tap or drag across the grid to pick shots. Choose RAW + HEIF or HEIF only, once, and the app remembers. The import button tells you how much is coming before you tap it.

Never imports the same photo twice.
Everything you’ve brought across is remembered, so “import all new” means exactly that.
Got a cable? Plug it in.
Same library, same import button. Handy on a plane, or when you want the camera’s Wi-Fi off.

Questions.
Which cameras does it work with?
It launches with the Nikon ZR. Other Z bodies follow once each one has been tested on a real camera, so it never claims support it can’t deliver. Tell us which camera you shoot and we’ll prioritise it.
Do I still need SnapBridge?
Not for getting photos off your camera. Keep it if you use it for firmware updates, remote shooting or location tagging, which this app doesn’t do.
Why does my iPhone ask to join a network?
Photos travel over the camera’s own Wi-Fi, which is much faster than Bluetooth. iOS asks your permission the first time it joins. After that it happens on its own.
What happens if I lock my phone mid-transfer?
The transfer keeps going and shows its progress on the Lock Screen. If iOS does pause it, or the camera goes out of range, it picks up where it stopped next time you open the app.
Will it import the same photo twice?
No. Every imported photo is remembered by camera, file name, capture time and size, whether it came over Wi-Fi or USB-C.
Where do my photos go?
Into the app’s own library first. From there, send RAW files to Lightroom or Files, and save HEIF or JPEG to Photos whenever you like.
Can I cancel Pro?
Yes, any time, from your Apple account settings. You keep everything you’ve already imported. Pro for life is a single payment with nothing to cancel.
