Multitask effortlessly on your PC or Mac as you try out Sony | Creators’ App, a Photography app by Sony Corporation on BlueStacks.

This app feels like a helpful camera sidekick that lets a phone do more than just view pictures. It turns the phone into a remote control for a Sony camera, makes moving photos and videos off the camera easy, and plugs into a cloud service where files can be stored, managed, and even touched up with cloud AI video tools. Navigating menus on a bigger screen makes things less fiddly, so running it on a laptop with BlueStacks gives the interface some breathing room and bigger previews.

Users will notice how convenient selective transfers are — only the photos or clips flagged ahead of time can be pushed to the phone or cloud — and that transfers can happen while the camera is charging or switched off. The phone also shows battery and media info, and it is possible to save camera settings for different shooting situations and push them back to the camera, which is handy when swapping gear. Software update alerts arrive on the phone and firmware updates can be started from there. A heads up: availability depends on camera models and regions, and Android compatibility is roughly Android 11 through 15, so checking the support pages before expecting everything to work is a good idea. Overall it comes across as practical and focused on making camera work less of a hassle.

BlueStacks gives you the much-needed freedom to experience your favorite apps on a bigger screen. Get it now.
