I got a free wireless adapter with my D3300 and tried it out tonight. I wanted to photograph the moon with the camera mounted on a tripod and use the wireless with my Galaxy S5 as a remote shutter release. I set it up in the house and it worked perfectly with a couple of test shots of the home audio and the dog. I tried it again after I changed camera modes and no matter what I did I could not get live view to show on the phone. Went back to my original setting, no joy.

The phone shows a strong signal from the adapter but it seems the app has bugs. It runs all the time, it's a power hog, and also sends every pic taken with it to the phone so I deleted it after playing around with app setting trying to get it to work. With the file sizes of these modern bodies my phone would be jammed in no time with out a bunch of deleting. The 64G SD card is in the camera darn it.

Is there another app out there that will work well with the WU-1a? Reviews are not good on the web about the Nikon app. any ideas from you guys with the experience? This thing doesn't seem very well thought out by Nikon.
