Not sure if this is the right place to give this review for the Sony GW-C10. Warning! : If you upgrade your phone/tablet to Android Pie. It will break the apps. This no longer work on Android Pie. I hope Sony will fix this app. Otherwise, I would give a higher review.

At first, I wasn't able to connect to my WGC10/N using this app. So what I did was I manually went to my WiFi settings to see the list of wifi networks available. I selected the WGC10/N SSD, then connected. This will disconnect to your current wifi connection that you are on (Home WiFi). Once connected, I went to the app and it finally connected. I changed the SSD password and voila! YOU HAVE TO REPEAT THIS IN ORDER TO CONNECT. You can't connect until you manually do it via wifi settings. (Sony Z3 5.1.1)

There are two things that i found hard to deal, first it's kind of hard for my kids to go on the wifi settings and connect to the server manually and it's a pain in the rear end to convert all my videos to mp4 so we can play them on the app.
