I've heard a lot of negative talk about SnapBridge, and I myself have struggled to make it work on my D500. (I have a Galaxy S7 Edge). The fact is I couldn't make it work for awhile.
Interestingly, however, I set it up on my girlfriend's D5600, today, and I had absolutely zero trouble doing so. (She has an iPhone 7.)
I was left scratching my head as to why one set-up was instant and painless, in my girlfriend's budget Nikon, and yet I couldn't get it to work at all on my high-end D500.
Call me slow, but after rubbing my chin awhile, eventually it dawned on me that the reason the integration was seamless on my girlfriend's D5600 is that I set her up to shoot sRGB JPEGs ... whereas I shoot exclusively in RAW on my D500.
With this, "Ah-ha!" moment in place, I converted by file allocation system to RAW + JPEG and -*viola!*- my SnapBridge worked flawlessly
For those of you who have had difficulty integrating SnapBridge, with your own Nikon DSLR, my suggestion is it because you are shooting RAW only ... and the second you switch to RAW + JPEG, you will have no further issues.
One of the great features of SnapBridge I learned as well is that you can use it to gain remote control of your DSLR ... assuming a Wi-Fi connection. In other words, you can set your camera up on a tripod, walk away from it, and take photos from your camera remotely, from your cell phone. Now that I understand it a little better, I thinkSnapBridge is actually a pretty cool feature.
Hope this helps some others.
