Bad experience

I have used this app for years with few issues, but today, after getting a new phone and having to use an updated version of the app, the experience was awful. The app kept disconnecting from my camera. And twice, after I spent 10-15 minutes selecting photos that I wanted to download to my device, the app forced me into my settings page and required me to grant full access to all of my photos. First, It’s never required that before. Second, each time it forced me into my settings, it disconnected from the camera and lost all the images I had just selected for download. VERY DISAPPOINTING. And of course there is no way to share feedback with Canon via the app itself. Grrr.
