The Snapbridge app is still not great, but in 2019 Nikon released a firmware update for older cameras, so you can use other apps, such as cascable: https://lrtimelapse.com/news/free-wifi-nikon-firmware-update...

The newer Nikon cameras dont require snapbridge for using wifi.

WHAT? This is news to me. Does this apply to newer cameras as well? I have a CoolPix P950, and I'd love to ditch the Snapbridge app

I somehow assumed Nikon did it to all their cameras, but it as far as I can tell it only to holds true for DSLRs and mirrorless.

Sorry to disappoint :(

No worries - the crappiness of snapbridge has certainly made me think twice about buying a Nikon in the future. I typically pull directly off of the SD card instead anyways.
