Great app ### 1/5 — Needs updating very lagging *2026-08-25, version 3.5.30* The camera app is extremely laggy on my SX70 hs when using live view it wasn’t like this before the latest update it made the app laggy on my iPhone 17 Pro max on iOS 26.6.1 please fix we have over 650 download and 250mbps upload speed PLEASE FIX thanks. ### 5/5 — ਫੋਟੋਸ *2026-08-24, version 3.5.30* ਗੁਡ ### 1/5 — Bad experience *2026-08-23, version 3.5.30* 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. ### 3/5 — Directions and help *2026-08-23, version 3.5.30* I ran into connection problems and it was difficult finding assistance or information. ### 1/5 — all pics got deleted *2026-08-22, version 3.5.30* i had thousands of pics on there and they got lost in the transferring process ### 5/5 — Cámara de mis sueños *2026-08-21, version 3.5.30* 5 ### 2/5 — If only it was consistent.. *2026-08-21, version 3.5.30* Disconnects over and over again, and you have to continue to establish connection, and deselect pictures to download. When it works it’s great, when it doesn’t it is so frustrating it makes me regret asking for the camera. Please fix this app! 2 stars for almost getting it.. ### 1/5 — 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 *2026-08-20, version 3.5.30* Let me use your app without an account. Was possible before. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Needs an account *2026-08-19, version 3.5.30* I don’t want to create an account with cannon I just want to connect to my camera and get my pictures ## Frequently asked questions about Canon Camera Connect ### What does the Canon Camera Connect app do?
