### 1/5 — Bugs

*2023-04-11*

New iPhone 14 and QR scanner won’t focus

### 1/5 — Hangs on startup End User License agreement

*2021-05-20*

This app seems useless AFAICT. It hangs on the End User License screen when it opens. The Agree and Disagree buttons do nothing and you can’t scroll. iOS 14.4 iPhone X

### 1/5 — Canon????

*2020-04-08, version 2.5.0*

Won’t work with my CANON printer

### 1/5 — Attempts were futile

*2017-11-16, version 2.4.1*

Unreal explanations unless you've your degree in wifi networking.

### 1/5 — Absolute trash

*2017-08-08, version 2.4.1*

No help no guide, nothing

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2017-06-21, version 2.4.1*

Yup, just like everybody else said...

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage

*2017-05-08, version 2.4.1*

Awful application

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2016-11-28, version 2.4.1*

Not worth the time it took to download. Does not work.

### 1/5 — Direct Print and Scan for Mobile

*2016-08-27, version 2.4.1*

This is a pathetic app, which calls for a QR code which apparently does not exist as evidenced by multiple questions from users and no serious answer from Canon.  It is disappointing that a company which makes such fine products could come out with such crappy software.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2016-06-27, version 2.4.1*

Does not work without a QR code on the printer or a device id and password, neither of which my Canon printer have. 

Love the printer but the app and using it over the network / airprint leaves a lot to be desired. Was hoping this app would help but it is useless.
