However, to justify the price at least two issues have to be fixed. First of all, the developers claim to add functionality that is not present in the Canon app. This is somehow correct but the geotagging feature, i. e. providing the GPS position to the camera is missing. In addition, the app claims to collect usage data but there is no setting to opt out. In addition, the developers should look into ways to improve the connection reliability. Even if that is only fixable by Canon, the price should reflect the overall value of the app. Will cancel the trial subscription for now and reconsider after the GPS and tracking issue are fixed. ### 4/5 — great interface, would love more controls *2026-07-24, version 5.06* Looks great, easy to navigate and works incredibly well with iphone 17 Pro Max and USB-C connection. Would love to see the camera tools and settings expanded that i've soon on other similar apps (AF, file type, color profile etc) Also a HUGE bonus would be anamorphic de-squeeze!!! That would keep this app on my phone and well deserving of 5 stats. ### 4/5 — First impressions *2026-07-23* Nice app so far, one request, could you add an icon showing the camera’s battery level to the remote control view? **Developer response:** Noted. We'll look into this in future releases of the app. Thank you for your feedback! ### 4/5 — Using with R5 mark II *2026-01-14* 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. ### 4/5 — Great!! *2026-01-09, version 3.31* I wish there was an option to remote the camera on this app for the video mode ### 4/5 — Love the Features, Minor Improvement Needed *2026-01-05* 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. ### 5/5 — Shutter -Canon Caméra Remote *2025-12-03* Top ! Simplisme à utiliser et super efficace ! Service après-vente très impliqué ! Merci à eux ! ### 5/5 — Perfekt zur Kamera Fernsteuerung und Übertragen von Bildern *2025-11-27* 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. ### 5/5 — MUST-HAVE! *2025-11-25* 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! ### 5/5 — Shutter *2025-11-19* Beste bis heute getestete App ### 5/5 — Great app 👏👏 *2025-11-06* 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 📷. 👏👏👏 ### 4/5 — Great Features *2025-11-03, version 3.25* 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 ### 5/5 — Impressive developer responses *2025-10-31* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Loving this app *2025-10-30, version 3.24* 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. ### 5/5 — Canon should take note’ *2025-10-16, version 3.23* This app works better than the canon app did back before they required an account and required access to your images thereby desecrating any semblance of a decent “Canon Connect”. Shutter certainly fills that gap Canon left! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Charges before trial *2026-04-07, version 3.34* 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? ### 1/5 — Mierda de app *2025-12-06, version 3.29* No sirve esta basura ### 1/5 — Poor performance *2025-11-07, version 3.25* Viewport is lagging, changing aperture or shutter has no impact on viewport update; no camera gallery access! ### 1/5 — PowerShot SX60HS isn’t an option on this app, they won’t tell you until AFTER you paid, no refund *2025-10-24, version 3.24* 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. ### 1/5 — I was charged and I haven’t even used it *2025-10-12* Doesn’t work with my camera. I cancelled and was still charged **Developer response:** Please email us at help@shutter.dev (or select "Email support" in the app), and we will be happy to help with a refund. If you cancel less than 24 hours before your trial expires, sometimes Apple doesn't have enough time to process the cancellation. ### 1/5 — My camera was not on list *2025-10-11, version 3.21* My camera was not on the list as being available. ### 1/5 — Must subscribe to use. *2025-09-12* There is no option to try unless you subscribe for a free trial. After which it’s more expensive per year than I would ever pay for an app like this. **Developer response:** All prices are listed in the “In-App Purchases” section of the App Store page, and you have 7 days to try the app for free before making a purchase decision. ### 1/5 — Total Garbage; Doesn’t Work on EOS R8 *2025-09-12, version 3.20* Took ten tries to connect to the camera’s WiFi, and even then it kept dropping connection. Once it finally decided to play nice, the app wouldn’t shoot in anything but continuous drive; changing to single-shot mode immediately resets to continuous as soon as you hit the apps shutter release. And no, the cameras drive mode is set to single-shot. App refuses to switch into video mode, won’t let me change any settings. Total garbage. ### 1/5 — Fix your app *2025-08-16, version 3.17* Fix your app or give me my money back. It’s impossible to connect to my camera. I did it once. But couldn’t get it to connect again !! ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-07-24, version 3.15* Bad app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Looks like a charm *2026-08-23, version 5.08* Unbridled functionality ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-08-19, version 5.08* Having problems trying to connect my Canon R8 using the Connection app from the manufacturer, I discovered this app on YouTube. Installed it on my iPhone 17 Pro Max, took a few times to connect to Wi-Fi, but if finally connected and now I can control my R8 remotely! Highly recommended for Canon shooters!!! ### 5/5 — Très bonne application, plus stable que l’application Canon *2026-08-17* J’ai téléchargé par curiosité, et cette application est très bien faite. Une fois connecté à mon Eos 70D, contrairement à l’application Canon Camera Connect, je n’ai eu aucune déconnection wifi entre entre l’iPhone et l’appareil photo. Il manque tout de même l’effacement des photos présentes sur l’appareil directement depuis l’application après les avoir téléchargées, ce qui évitera de devoir le faire depuis la appareil photo ou en se connectant à Camera Connect. Quand cette fonction sera implémentée, l’application Canon pourra être mise de côté. 5 étoiles pour encourager le développement, l’assistance par mail est très réactive. ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!! *2026-04-26* 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… ### 5/5 — New User - Self Taught *2026-03-27* 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! ### 5/5 — Best app for it *2026-01-07* Excellent ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-12-30, version 3.30* 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. ### 5/5 — Ease of use *2025-12-25, version 3.30* So far, so good with all set up. ### 5/5 — Ok *2025-12-10* Ótima ### 5/5 — Great app, much better than camera brand app *2025-12-08* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
