### 5/5 — Fabulous app

*2026-08-23, version 6.3.1*

I photograph wild flowers with a Canon EOS80D, and recently started focus stacking to be able to show off the flowers in all their glorious detail. This app makes focus stacking so easy, controlling accurate focus increments on most of my lenses. Or any other kind of remote camera control. Make sure you use it far away from normal WiFi networks, then it works really well. Being able to see what the camera sees without accessing the viewfinder is magic. The controls work well too. Thank you! 

Just a couple of improvements might help. Being able to adjust the focus increment would be handy. Another would be to queue camera requests: if the camera is busy saving a RAW image to a slow SD card, it can be hard to be sure you have changed the focus before the next shot. Audio feedback after initiating a focus increment might be helpful too.

Appended 24 Aug 2026
I found a reproducible fault condition:

Canon EOS-80D
Connect to WiFi (set up to send images direct to camera). 
Connect to camera
Live view
Move focus rectangle
Tap + to magnify
Tap + to magnify again
Camera locks up, err (70) displayed, only way to reset is remove and replace battery.

### 4/5 — Great lightweight affordable alternative

*2026-07-24, version 6.3.1*

This app is a huge help with run and gun live video for socials instead of having to use a big monitor all the time. 

The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is because I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have anamorphic-squeeze as it's a need with my Canon R6V 🙏

### 4/5 — Great app, some suggestions

*2026-05-16, version 6.3.1*

Great alternative to Snap Bridge (very limited functionality) and NX Field (too complicated to setup). Would like to see larger shutter and AF buttons, and also an option to replicate the f1 and f2 buttons on the Nikon Z8. Alternatively, a button to quickly switch from FX to DX and back. Should also add support for Nikon Z digital zoom lenses (like the 28-135mm), so that you can operate the digital zoom from the app. Would also be nice to be able to move the histogram by dragging (or option to place it in any of the 4 quarters of the image). Also the level needs better guiding lines to know when the camera is perfectly level. Otherwise, it solves my need of having a simple remote control to shoot with a cage setup low over the water for wildlife photography without cable connections or unnecessary hardware.

### 2/5 — Canon user

*2026-05-09, version 6.3.1*

Real issues connecting to both my R6ii and R5. Spent a couple of hours trying to connect them up tonight.

Instructions poor and incomplete and nothing found to help on YouTube.

I’m sure the app is very good but basics of connecting to the camera needs more clear instructions.

### 4/5 — Resurrected my love of old DSLR

*2026-04-22, version 6.3.0*

After many years of mobile photography this app turns the table and resurrected my DSLR. The app provides a seamless way to take beautiful photos on my old Nikon DSLR automatically transferring them to my photoroll. And the developer was immediately open to my feedback and day later there was an update to a small issue. Well worth the money to be able to learn to love my Nikon again. Thank you!

### 1/5 — SO MAD

*2026-04-13, version 6.2.5*

So i do stop motion and i have to transfer files and i normally use an adapter but i wasnt able to find it one time so i used this app, ITS HORRIBLE it takes sooooo long and the image quality is BAD

### 1/5 — Not easy to remove cameras

*2026-04-08, version 6.2.5*

Ive been fiddling with it for at least an hour and no luck. I couldn’t add a new camera. Working with canon r5. My canon r3 is showing but not canon r5. Ive give up

### 5/5 — Question

*2026-04-06, version 6.2.5*

I purchase the app in my android phone. Now i’m using iphone, how i can continue using purchased app?

### 1/5 — Сложно

*2026-03-28*

Голову сломать можно

**Developer response:** Да, а что дальше?

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-02-14, version 6.2.4*

I use this with my Canon EOS 5D Mark III using USB as it doesn’t have WiFi. I have no problems connecting first time every time I don’t see why others have given it 2 out of 5 I never have a problem with it. I use it on my iPad Air M3 and its brilliant, the only very slight criticism is that when it downloads a photo from your camera it doesn’t give a sharp image not until you click on the image then its razor sharp.
