Reviewers from cameralabs have found the following***:
Sony’s apps aren’t always accessed or adjusted in an intuitive manner. Instead of integrating new functions into the existing menus, they’re all kept in a dedicated Apps section. Once you fire-up an App, you’ll find it has its own multi-page menu system. Sony really needs to think more carefully about how the Apps integrate with the camera.
