Please Add View Assist!

I really appreciate this app, especially the Remote Live View feature! Please continue supporting and improving it.

I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars because View Assist isn’t available when shooting in Canon Log through the app. I would love to see this feature added and will gladly update my review to 5 stars when it becomes available.

Other than that, the app is great! Thank you, Canon! Keep up the great work!

Requires a login and Internet.

Have had this app for a number of years. Is useful for transferring pictures from the camera to iPhone or iPad. The biggest issue I have is that a login is required to make it work and that login requires internet to start the app! So when you are out of cell service, you can’t even use the app to transfer photos. Even though the transfer is done via a local wifi from the camera to the device. The app still insists on contacting Canon for the login and presents T&Cs before you can transfer anything. None of this should be necessary to simply transfer photos.

2nd times the charm!

It fails the first time I connect after 1 picture 98% of the time. So understand that you will have to connect twice to get to your pictures.

Connection is NEVER RELIABLE

Maybe it’s my fault but man, it does NOT like to be connected and stay connected. And each connection takes several seconds, assuming it’s successful. It should be FAR better. Why can’t we tether easily yet, wirelessly?

Just let me get my pictures

You need like an account and WiFi and all this stuff. JUST LET ME GET MY PICTURES OFF MY CAMERA.
