AMAZING!!!!

I love this app so much how do I begin the ways?!?! It makes life so much easier as a canon shooter. From actually connecting immediately to handling canon’s “delicate” software better than canon’s own app, “camera connect,” in every way.

Not only does it connect better, faster but it also holds the connection to my camera - 100% without incident, it converts the files automatically to proper formats rather than having to build shortcuts on my phone.

All in all this app is superior to canon’s in every way so if you are a wireless photo downloading fan — even in the field & without cell covg - and you like everything to work smoothly whilst e-tethered, then this is your app!

It’s one of the best apps I’ve ever used — and I regularly use over 100 apps between my entire ecosystem…

Charges before trial

I am still in the 7-day trial period and I’ve already been charged for the app. Seems a bit unscrupulous to me. Will I be refunded?

New User - Self Taught

SX720SH connected via wifi and images transferred, unsure where the images can be stored or transferred to on iPad. Was able to send one image from connected camera to WhatsAp, very convenient. Was able to control remote shutter photography. So far encouraged and extremely promising. Exploring… have fun! Great to use this older model again, it’s alive and well!

Using with R5 mark II

I’m a bird photographer and I got this so I can place the camera closer to the birds than they would permit if I was holding the camera directly. Way better than the Canon app (which is free) - once you have the connection it keeps it well. I’ve used the camera-WiFi connection mostly but after working with Support we got the usb cable working too. Like everything there is a little bit of a learning curve but support was very responsive and I’m taking backyard bird photos I probably couldn’t have taken without setting up a blind etc.

Great!!

I wish there was an option to remote the camera on this app for the video mode

Love the Features, Minor Improvement Needed

Great app overall! I love that I can set a timer, see a live view from my phone, and choose exactly how many photos I want to take. It makes taking self-portraits and group photos so much easier and more professional. The only feature I wish it had is the ability to delete photos directly from the app. Other than that, it’s been a great experience and I highly recommend it.

Great app

So glad I found this app. Connecting was easy and love all the features, bells and whistles. Good bye Canon Camera Connect. Started looking for a replacement when Canon began forcing a sign in before using their app. I should thank Canon because it led me to Shutter which is way, way better.

Ease of use

So far, so good with all set up.

Great app, much better than camera brand app

Long time Canon user. When Canon changed their app to require sign in the sign in always failed with a 403 error. Since no help was available to resolve, I gave the Shutter app a try. Oh my gosh, what a terrific app!! The fact that it allows for selection of the raw files for the download is huge!! Shutter is fast, convenient and stable. Count me as a Shutter fan. Not going back to the Canon app even if they fix the App sign in.

Mierda de app

No sirve esta basura

Shutter -Canon Caméra Remote

Top ! Simplisme à utiliser et super efficace !
Service après-vente très impliqué ! Merci à eux !

Perfekt zur Kamera Fernsteuerung und Übertragen von Bildern

Diese App ist eine gute Alternative zur Canon App, da sie mehr Funktionen bietet und außerdem nicht wie bei Canon neuerdings eine Online Registrierung nötig ist. Kann diese App sehr empfehlen. Nutze sie mit meiner Canon R6 ii. Die Einrichtung hat sehr gut und schnell funktioniert. Manchmal klappt das Herstellen der WLAN Verbindung nicht sofort, aber wenn die Verbindung da ist, läuft es stabil.
Zudem hat mich begeistert, dass der Entwickler auf kleine Kompatibilitätsprobleme, die ich anfangs hatte, zügig mit einem Update reagiert hat.

MUST-HAVE!

Honestly, don’t even think twice. It’s saved me so much hassle. The best features for me are the shutter (of course) but then being able to see and download the raw files / jpeg and the best part is no sign-in and no internet needed - just phone to camera wifi! Wish I could rate it 10 stars!

Shutter

Beste bis heute getestete App

Poor performance

Viewport is lagging, changing aperture or shutter has no impact on viewport update; no camera gallery access!

Great app 👏👏

I downloaded this app for my canon camera and I have to thank Grzegorz for there support and tips with a couple of queries I had about this app. I love the way it works with my camera 📷. 👏👏👏

Great Features

Only complaint is how difficult it is to reconnect the camera each time. It’s like hooking up to an inkjet printer… but when it’s connected it’s great

Impressive developer responses

Just began using the app thus not ready to review; but after reading through the user reviews prior to purchasing, I’m impressed by the quality of developer responses. I don’t recall ever seeing such rapid, thorough, or honest feedback from a development team, indicating a genuine desire to understand and improve upon user experiences.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words. Shutter is a business, but it is also my passion project. We use it for our travel photography (and soon to document our newborn's life), so we really put a lot of effort into making sure the app works as smoothly as possible. If you ever have any questions or feedback, please feel free to use the "Email support" option in the app. I'm always happy to help.

Loving this app

This app easily connects to my camera and it works flawlessly. I’m really glad to have this app is very easily for me to set my camera up on my tripod and take photos of myself or clients and uploading them and sharing the photos immediately.

PowerShot SX60HS isn’t an option on this app, they won’t tell you until AFTER you paid, no refund

Canon camera picture import doesn’t work with PowerShot SX60HS and it won’t tell you until after you’ve paid for the app. The whole reason I paid for the app is because I was having issues with the official app for canon camera connect so I tried this one in a last minute panic to download important pictures that I needed right then and there and it wouldn’t work. Didn’t get anyone reaching out to me for days and they can’t help because the website they tell me to request a refund or file a complaint on doesn’t work. So I paid for nothing, they don’t say anywhere not compatible with XYZ cameras before paying and they won’t help you after taking your money other than telling you to cancel the subscription and use the official app for canon.
