Great😃

Slow transfer speeds on IOS 27.

The transfer speed onto a new IPhone 18 pro is embarrassing slow. Close to 5 minutes for a Single compressed image via a Canon R6 MK II. It used to be fast (30-45 seconds).

Canon wants your data

To be able to use the app you need to sign in and you need internet connection so canon can steal your data and share it with third party, after you pay thousands on a camera they want to sell your data also the thousands you spent on the gear is not enough they want more. Use alternative app free without sign in obligations to use it so canon can not train its AI and steal your photos. App requires aces to all your photos on the device so is clear what they want to do with your photos train AI and steal your data and pictures.
I will change system completely as also RF mount is locked and you have to buy Canon lenses and they are not producing certain lenses but don’t let other manufacturers to do it either. Change system if you don’t like this proprietary locked system that violates your privacy.

Upgrade sucks

Since the latest upgrade I have to reregister my camera and create an entirely new profile. Thanks Canon, not.

I love my Canon camera however, this app is awful and can be a truly painful experience to setup.
