### 3/5 — 不够简单

*2026-07-04*

请完善勾选图片，方便快捷一点，选择删除都好慢一张一张点

### 4/5 — 活用してますが…

*2026-06-16*

毎回評価とレビューを要求するのをなんとかして下さい

### 4/5 — 使えるアプリ

*2026-05-12*

ただユーザーに対して利用料を取る意味は分からない。

### 2/5 — Gps metadaten werden gelöscht

*2026-05-10*

Ich verbinde meine canon immer mit camera connect um den Ort in den Metadaten u haben. Importiere ich von camera connect wird der ort behalten. Verarbeite ich das bild mit dpp express wird er gelöscht. Die windoes desktop version behält den ort, daher werde ich nur die desktop version verwenden und nicht für diese app such noch bezahlen

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2026-04-24*

This app is promising and I like some of the features but it’s ridiculous that you cannot import photos from the iPad local Files app, nor can you import directly from an SD card. If these features were added this app would be way more usable. Unsubscribing until they can add this feature.

### 2/5 — Insulting Monthly rip off- no way to import from the cloud.

*2026-04-08*

I kind of get why you can’t edit anything from the camera roll if it wasn’t a RAW file or jpeg from a canon camera but why can’t I import any files from the cloud or even from the files on my IPad. Importing from files is like the MOST basic feature humanly possible and it doesn’t exist here. That’s just dumb and completely ruins the workflow if I have to constantly import to camera roll just to edit things on the go. This is not worth a monthly fee and should at most be $5 once. Deleted and canceled almost immediately after finding out there’s no file import feature.

### 2/5 — Basic.

*2026-03-30*

Basic editor that besides canon lens corrections offers nothing special. I also don’t appreciate having to pay after already paying for multiple canon cameras.

### 1/5 — Extortion at its worst

*2026-02-22*

So I spend US$4,000 on an R5 Mark II and another ~US$12,000 on Canon lenses and Canon expects me to pay them even more for the “privilege” of using this software on an iOS device? If this software is anything like every other Canon app, it will be one that isn’t well tested, has essentially no support, and will work only when on the odd day when it decides you’re worthy of using it. Canon stop being greedy, you already got our money, cut it out with this obnoxious money grab stunt. This is not how you build and maintain customer loyalty. If for no other reason then I don’t expect this from you but due from Adobe, I will continue to pay Adobe’s monthly subscription fee even though it’s more.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-02-21, version 1.12.10*

Canon doesn’t even support their own cameras within their software and then want to require a subscription fee for said software.

### 1/5 — Canon: users hate the paywall. I do too.

*2026-02-12, version 1.12.10*

This app should be free and included in the Canon ownership experience. I agree with other reviews, after spending tens of thousands on gear, especially when out in the field to handle a few shots on the spot to impress a client. Remove the spyware elements. And why are there so many apps: combine Camera Connect and DPP Express!

### 1/5 — Can’t Import Files EXCEPT from Camera or Camera Roll

*2026-07-14, version 1.12.20*

I wanted to give this a try, but it can only see pictures in the Camera or the Camera Roll.  My pictures are organized into folders - but can’t see those at all.  I’ll be cancelling this.

### 1/5 — synchronisation

*2026-07-13*

On ne peut pas copier coller la recette d’une photo retouchée, c’est un énorme frein pour moi qui fait de la photos animalière, plusieurs dizaines de photos d’une scène …

### 1/5 — Great free app

*2026-06-28, version 1.12.20*

I would rate this product higher except that each and every time that I try to use it, it keeps asking me to submit a review, even though I have. Therefore, because of the annoyance factor one star.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-06-23, version 1.12.20*

Asking to rate after exporting every picture and the app should be free

### 1/5 — Stop asking me for rating

*2026-06-13, version 1.12.20*

Fking asking me for rating after every photo I save. Even after I rated, the app still pops window to request for rating.

### 1/5 — Guud

*2026-06-09*

Guud

### 1/5 — まじで良くない

*2026-05-03*

iPadにUSB接続したデバイスから取り込みができない。いちいちiPadに取り入れて、アプリに取り入て、編集して、再度iPadに書き出さないといけない。純正でこの出来はがっかり

### 1/5 — Kinda crazy

*2026-04-17*

The app has limited editing towards it and on top of that (I know it’s not much) you have to pay a subscription ((monthly)) kinda crazy how canon makes you spend hundreds of $$$ and thousands of $$$ on both cameras and lenses and kits and other stuff to etc now go a basic app that should really be 100% free with how much is really on it… 🥲 damn

### 1/5 — Transfer from r6mk2 to iPad photos

*2026-04-08, version 1.12.10*

Not so easy. There must be an easier app surely????

### 1/5 — Subscription Garbage

*2026-04-02*

Canon’s Camera Connect app directs you to this app for photo editing. It’s a money grab, as if you didn’t spend enough on your Canon gear.

### 5/5 — Simple, it actually works.

*2026-08-05*

Use it all the time on my Canon R7. Works much better now since updates.

### 5/5 — Amazing ❤️‍🔥

*2026-07-19, version 1.12.20*

Love how easy it is to transfer my camera 📸 pictures to my phone!!

### 5/5 — Amazing app.

*2026-06-28, version 1.12.20*

Don’t pop up and ask for review again.

### 5/5 — Very beginner friendly

*2026-06-22, version 1.12.20*

Easy to use, fun, and can’t express enough how beginner friendly it is

### 5/5 — 와 신발 무료 아님?

*2026-06-16*

.개조음

### 5/5 — 最高でした😀

*2026-06-14*

とても使いやすいですね👍

### 5/5 — Annoying

*2026-06-04, version 1.12.20*

Stop making this pop up every time I get done with a photo

### 5/5 — Limited Features

*2026-05-31*

The app is okay but lacks real features not worth paying for. it’s far too limited it should at least be compatible to Lightroom. You can’t copy editing settings and paste to other photos, too much to have to edit each photo individually on a mobile device. It seems counterintuitive to a quick workflow.

### 5/5 — Actually Incredible

*2026-03-07*

I love this app, works super well and offers a ton of stuff you can do to a photo that looks great. I do wish there were information cards about what some things are or do. But you can figure it out!

### 5/5 — Photo editing

*2025-07-23, version 1.11.10*

Macro photography 
Editing software is lot more better
