### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-12-24, version 1.3.1.0*

App doesn’t open at all

### 1/5 — Crashes on launch

*2023-10-31, version 1.3.1.0*

What else is there to say? 🥺

### 4/5 — Canon 6 D

*2023-10-07*

The developer kindly updated the application, which is more than 8 years old, so that it works with ISO 17

### 1/5 — Hard to connect

*2023-02-14, version 1.3.1.0*

Hard to connect, virtually have to do the same thing 10 times for it to connect.

### 1/5 — Sorta works

*2022-03-18, version 1.3.1.0*

I’ll try the new app. This old app is flaky and frequently drops the connection, especially when viewing images.

### 3/5 — Why no cable tether option?

*2021-10-03, version 1.3.1.0*

This app is useful for WiFi control but can be clunky and picture transfers slow. I think adding the option of cable connection between app to camera would be brilliant and long over due. This should speed up transfer times and I would have thought camera battery life would last longer too as the WiFi wouldn’t need to be on. So please add support for cable connections!!!!

### 2/5 — Functional, but not brilliant

*2021-09-02, version 1.3.1.0*

So, this app has been marginally better than Camera Connect for me, as Camera Connect never managed to actually connect to my camera. 

However, I’ve been using it to bring photos into Lightroom Mobile for around a year, and I’ve just now noticed it’s been downsampling all the images and stripping out the EXIF data. (There is a setting to change this. I just never realized it was happening. Frustrating.)

I have now obtained a card reader so I can avoid using the Canon apps altogether and would recommend this path to others. As a bonus, the card reader is much faster and has better import settings.

### 5/5 — Perfect app, needs R5 support

*2021-07-22*

This app is better than the new Camera Connect app. I really wish there was support for the R5.

### 1/5 — Old version worked better

*2020-07-03, version 1.3.1.0*

I haven’t gotten this newer app to work ever.  So not impressed!  The version I first downloaded in 2015/16. Worked. The. They forced a different one and never worked!   No updates for 4 years since it seems!   Come on now

### 2/5 — Used to work

*2020-05-31, version 1.3.1.0*

Does not any more.
Major pain in the ass to get connected to a 70d.
And the “new” app is worse.
