Unreliable connectivity and extreme lag
By Devvvvvvvvvvvvv (Pcmac user)
It’s virtually impossible to take a photo with this, and I think it’s because this app is a disaster. When it finally does connect, you’ll be able to take one or two photos with 30 seconds to two minutes of lag between for the live view to update to what you’re actually photographing. Usually, after about 2 to 3 photos, it will lose its connection, you’ll have to go back into your Wi-Fi settings and find the device again to reconnect it. Then, if you’re lucky, you will actually find a connection again in the app. Most of the time using this is spent waiting for the live view to update or fixing a lost connection to your Wi-Fi settings. When it is actually connected, it’s so laggy that the live view can sometimes not update for longer than a minute or more—if at all.
I actually sent my WU-1a remote back to Nikon to have it checked because I was unable to get a connection for long periods of time when I needed it. They sent the device back saying that I has no issues. So, it must be the app.
I was trying to use it again today after a year or so of forgetting about it (because when I did try to use it in the past, I was unable to actually get it to do what I needed). Today, I was able to get to it take two photos before it disconnected again. I came to search for an app update, because I thought “it must have been updated within the last year due to the bugs and issues making it impossible to use“. Surprise, no update!!

Lousy app & issues. Does Nikon even read these???
By Mzbehavn (Pcmac user)
This app is such a disappointment. I have the Coolpix p900, which I love, but this app is practically useless. And since the latest updates, both Apple iOS & Nikon WMU, it’s even worse.
The app itself lacks many features that I would think should be easy & obvious: “select all” should allow you to select all the pictures not just clear all the ones I checked by hand. How about the ability to download videos to my iPhone and/or iPad? As it is, I either have to download to pc & Dropbox to my iPad or I need an Apple lighting plug to card reader.
More often than not, I can’t download more than 10 pics before I get “Camera Disconnected”, yet many times my iPad shows that it is still connected to the camera but the app shows the WiFi connection is gone requiring a reboot of the camera & app. Other times the camera does disconnect & still other times the camera actually powers off. Also, since the recent update many photos show as a gray box with a red X in the app. But sometimes, if I exit & come back, they’ll now be available. And worse, the app will just stop during downloading, leaving me to figure out which photos did actually download & which ones I need to try again. Except it does the same thing all over again.
Please, Nikon, please, you are better than this or at least you can be. Fix these issues & upgrade this app to make it useful. -
My experience WMU
By Alberghinib (Pcmac user)
I have both an older iPad mini and an iPhone 6 and have used WMU on both for over a year.
The concerns over connecting and disconnecting during use seem to be not an issue with WMU but rather with how the iOS wifi works. I attempted to use my WMU during graduation at Radio City Music hall. I could connect to the WMU but not for long. The next day while at home I tried again and it worked flawlessly. This morning again after a huge party last night the connection was fantastic. It quickly showed me all 177 images on my D7100 and transferred quickly 4 full sized files to my iPad mini.
The difference in usability seems to be that when used in an area with numerous wifi connections available the WMU has a hard time staying connected. Even in airplane mode my iPhone wanted to grab the best «internet» wifi connection and I believe is the reason the WMU had difficulties in Radio City Music Hall.
So if you are in an area with limited this app connections available the WMU should work great. Use it in a very public area with lots of wifi connections and it may struggle. -
Missing a LOT of features.
By UtopiaOrOblivion (Pcmac user)
Camera: D3300 (with WU-1a adapter)
Phone: iPhone SE (same chipset as the 6S, iOS 10.3.3)
Boy, this app is a pain to use. It’s missing a number of potential features purely due to Nikon’a lack of trying.
First, the connection does get wonky sometimes. I’ve found the app locks up often, especially if you’re moving the camera around frequently. But when it works, it does work (and why I didn’t give it one star).
Cons:
— The photos downloaded from the camera directly to the iPhone’s camera roll are NOT the RAW files, despite being «Full Size». Even if you don’t shoot in JPEG, the app will compress the RAW file to one before saving it. Major drawback, especially with the power of mobile devices, suite of mobile software, and amount of mobile storage these days.
— No video. I understand from a technical standpoint why they don’t allow video recording LIVE (bandwidth)—however, an option to set up the camera using the phone as the viewfinder and then being able to at least trigger a recording (app view could go black during) would be nice and easy to implement. For cameras without swiveling screens, it would be an invaluable feature when you’re not able to be behind the camera itself.
— The self timer is VERY limited, only to a few seconds. It should be totally user definable. Second, it freaking resets after each time you take a shot. Bad shot and want to quickly retake? Too bad, you have to open and reset it again. Really dumb oversight.

Фотокамеры, совместимые с приложением Wireless Mobile Utility
Приложение Wireless Mobile Utility (WMU) позволяет устанавливать беспроводное подключение интеллектуального устройства к выбранным цифровым фотокамерам Nikon (через Wi-Fi) для загрузки снимков и дистанционного управления съемкой, а также для передачи изображений по электронной почте или загрузки в социальные сети. Приложение WMU совместимо с фотокамерами, перечисленными в таблицах, приведенных ниже. Более поздние модели фотокамер совместимы с приложением SnapBridge, заменившим WMU с весны 2016 года. Фотокамеры, поддерживающие WMU, не поддерживают SnapBridge и наоборот.
Подключение фотокамеры к Wireless Mobile Utility через Wi-Fi
Для обеспечения совместимости с приложением WMU фотокамер более старых моделей требовались адаптеры для беспроводного подключения WU-1a или WU-1b. Эти две модели адаптеров отличаются типом разъема USB, использующегося для физического подключения к фотокамере (см. ниже). Более новые модели фотокамер оснащены встроенным модулем Wi-Fi и поэтому не нуждаются в использовании адаптера для беспроводного подключения.

Поддержка по продуктам
Загрузить приложение на интеллектуальное устройство можно из магазина Google Play (для устройств Android) или App Store (для устройств Apple), введя в строке поиска «Wireless Mobile Utility». Перед установкой прочтите описание приложения и убедитесь в его совместимости с системой.
Установить подключение по беспроводной сети Wi-Fi очень просто, но последовательность действий зависит от используемой модели фотокамеры и интеллектуального устройства. В первую очередь воспользуйтесь инструкциями, приведенными в руководстве пользователя фотокамеры. Если потребуются дополнительные сведения, обратитесь к руководству по применению утилиты Wireless Mobile Adapter Utility или руководству пользователя интеллектуального устройства.
