### 1/5 — Crashes Adobe Photoshop 2021 on Windows 10

*2020-10-26, version 1.4.2*

Canvas for Photoshop looked like an appealing alternative to Adobe Preview CC as it's free and easy to use. But after opening a document in Photoshop with Canvas connected, a "Crash Report for 'Adobe Photoshop'" window appears, disconnecting the Canvas app from Photoshop. I tried opening different documents in other formats, connecting Canvas after opening a document, but I couldn't get it to work. This is my review until there's an update to Canvas or Photoshop that resolves this problem.

### 1/5 — Could be good....

*2019-04-05, version 1.4.0*

Sorry but, just not working in iPhone 8 Plus and photoshop CC2019. Has crashed 4 times while ‘getting image’ and waiting at least 5 mins on that image. Seems to be exactly what I want though so I hope the issues are ironed out as I like to use it. Given up for now though.

### 2/5 — Great… when working

*2022-07-21, version 1.5.0*

Adobe Preview, Design Mirror, Canvas— I’ve used them all over the years—  they were unstable, buggy, or eventually stopped working all together. To be fair, Canvas is the most feature rich device preview to date. Also, it could very well be iOS, Windows or even the Routers privacy/firewalls are conflicting. I hope it’s soon resolved— device preview is indispensable.

### 2/5 — Не работает

*2017-12-18, version 1.2.1*

Долго искал подобное на windows. 
Увы, приложение не работает у меня. Photoshop 2018 (19.0) и iPhone 6s. То не видит фотошоп, то висит в "Getting image"

### 3/5 — Good app

*2018-06-16, version 1.2.1*

A good replacement for Device Preview. However, it seems as though the creators no longer provide updates.

### 3/5 — Useful

*2018-02-01*

Since Adobe trashed device preview this has been the best option. Only problem for me is that it does’t display full quality high rez images. They seem compressed lacking sharpness in retina mode. Unclear how to overcome this issue.

### 5/5 — Best Preview app

*2024-10-10*

Use it frequently with Photoshop! Thank you very much!

### 5/5 — five stars

*2020-11-25, version 1.4.3*

Perfect replacement for Photoshop Preview. Why can’t Adobe do this themselves? No matter. Works with Photoshop 22. Thanks Gary!

If you’re having trouble connecting, make sure that Private Address is turned OFF for your wi-fi network on the iOS device.

### 5/5 — perfect

It works - you can't argue with that.

### 5/5 — Отличное приложение

Очень нужное приложение для тех у кого винда и нужно смотреть адаптивные версии или приложения.
