As more official apps are available in Store, more consumers will start paying attention to Windows Phone and, perhaps, be willing to switch from their Android smartphones and iPhones. The selection is improving, even if at a slow pace, and it is nice to see new known developers embracing the platform.
So, having Eyefi Mobi finally available on the platform is a major win. While not known by the majority of users, in the sense that Facebook is at least, it is a very important app for photography enthusiasts. here is what you need to know about it.
First off, for those who are not familiar with it, Eyefi Mobi is the companion app for Eyefi's Mobi memory cards, which feature Wi-Fi connectivity to allow users to transfer their media files easily from their cameras to their PCs and mobile devices, obviously without having to remove the cards or use cables.
Mobi cards are popular with photographers for their convenience, and can be had in multiple storage options. The lowest capacity is 8 GB, while the highest is 32 GB -- it should be pointed out that standard cards can be had with much higher capacities, but the vast majority have to removed from the device for file transfers if users do not wish to use cables to do it.
Now, back to Eyefi Mobi. The app seems to offer all the right features users might expect from an initial release -- I do not have a Mobi card to test it, so perhaps one of you, dear readers, might comment on how well it works. There is wireless transfer support, EXIF support, combined gallery for phone and camera photos, and Eyefi Cloud support also.
Eyefi Cloud is Eyefi's cloud storage service, which is designed to allow users to access photos on more devices and automatically add Smart Tags to them, inform users of their photography behaviors and allow them to privately share files.
Eyefi Mobi is available for Windows Phone 8.1, but it will likely work just as well on Windows 10 Mobile too. You can download the app, which is free, from Windows Phone Store.
