Play Memories Sync to Smartphone?

Hello all,
I am considering the Play Memories Sync To Smartphone app. How well does this work? I would most likely use it with my iPad, but maybe my phone too. Any pros/cons of using it. I did read that you will want to make sure you you change your settings (in application settings) to shoot in Raw and Jpeg.
Thanks,
J. Paul

I haven't used it personally, but I would imagine that for iOS it is functionally clunky like connecting the smartphone control app. That is based on this from the app page:

iOS devices require you to manually launch the PlayMemories Mobile app.
So it's not much different than manually initiating a photo sync.

On android OS, PlayMemories can continuously run and the phone/tablet can connect/disconnect from the camera's wifi without needing the user's intervention, so it really works much better with those devices. I would pass on it unless you get an android device.
