Flaky beyond belief, basically useless
Trying to transfer photos from an IXUS to iOS using this is consistently the worst technical user experience I have _ever_ had. It basically never works first time without either having to reboot camera or iPhone, or set up yet another ad-hoc network. It's flaky (forget about transferring more than 10 photos), hangs, it's slow to connect, it's counterintuitive, if your iPhone screen lock comes on the app restarts and kills the transfer (never mind about allowing multitasking). Dreadful, absolutely unbelievable junk for a multinational giant like Canon. Made me hate what is otherwise a reasaoble camera.

Needs a lot of work...
I bought two Canon cameras thinking I would be able to get quality images transferred to my iPad wirelessly. The good news is that you can... The bad news is that the images get hugely compressed and there is nothing you can do about it. Sure, you can select "don't resize" to mitigate the problem, but the images still get compressed. To give you an idea, in my case, 4MB images are compressed to about 200kB... An option to keep full image quality is essential!!! Perhaps the developers could think of applications beyond social media on this one...
Oh, and to work with iOS 8 would also be helpful!

It works for me!
I wasn't sure at all about this app when I downloaded it, having read the reviews. However on an afternoon by the pool on holiday last month I thought I would give it a go - bear in mind that I'm a middle aged woman and a complete techno dunce. The 'instructions' weren't entirely clear, but after a bit of trial and error - and moving nearer the wifi hub, all photos were uploaded onto my new iPad Air! It's a bit clunky, you have to manually select each photo, rather than choosing a range, and there is a max number you can do in one go (50?), but it works! My husband was seriously impressed, and it's his camera!

Great app - simple to use
I'm overseas on holiday and have been keeping in touch with my family using whatsapp. Found this app and worked out how to connect it to my iPhone within a few minutes and was able to send some pics that were on my camera without having to download to a PC or iPad. Technology! Just need to figure out if my partner can link his phone to it too...

Disappointing
Bought a new canon cam as it was described as wifi compatible. App worked on the first day, hasn't worked since. Got camera replaced, but still won't work. Doesn't work on iPhone 5, iPad 2 or laptop. I have been advised there is a problem with the app. Really expected a lot more from Canon, can't really advertise as wifi compatible if the app doesn't work so can't transfer pics/vids. Genuinely disappointed tbh, for the couple of hours it worked, it was fast and was impressed. Shame it isn't reliable and the interface isn't user friendly.

Pretty good
I got this app mainly to geotag photos. The app itself is a lot quicker and less cumbersome than I thought it would be, but some documentation on it would be nice.
Works great
In less than 5 mins I had this set up and was viewing my pictures from my camera on my phone :)
Works Perfectly
Great app, works very well!
Disappointment
I bought a new canon camera solely for purpose of having wireless capability of doing remote shooting from my iPad. While the image on the App Store shows a button for remote shooting, this does not exist in real life. Therefore a real disappointment. Is says capable with iPhone 5, but this does not appear to be the case either.
