This has a lot of potential. Major drawbacks for me: 1) inability to filter/sort images by rating. I shoot sports and rate as I'm shooting. But those ratings don't show up and can't be acted on in the app. I spent ten minutes finding "that shot" on the sidelines instead of shooting more. 2) I need the option to send files I choose from the camera like you can with FTP. No one needs to send every file to their computer or web site, but we should be able to select and send them like with FTP

Like others it won't connect. It used to be fine but no it simply will not connect to the app. It all connects fine via my WiFi settings, sees the camera, the camera sees the WiFi but as soon as it tries to connect into the app it crashes. Everything! I've checked app settings, permissions, camera settings etc. All without any kind of luck. Extremely disappointing. It used to be a fantastic app. Now it is useless.

Connection process is horrid. You have to basically reuse the "easy" connection guide every time you connect your camera to your phone. It saves your phone/camera info, but that doesn't matter. It won't work unless you delete that info and restart with the barely functioning connection process all over again. Canon has a very long way to go on this app.

Bri. H. Apr 14, 2022     

Disappointing. This app is really only useful for moving photos from my Cannon Rebel T7 to my Android smartphone so Google Photos will back them up. That's it. The app is not compatible with my camera for geotagging (why not?!), nor does it transfer any of the video files in .MOV format so I still have to move those manually from the SD card. It's also clunky trying to re-connect on Wi-Fi.

As a professional photographer owning 7 Canon cameras, I would rate this software zero stars if the option existed. User-unfriendly and, in my experience, basically unusable. Connection problems are routine and if one is lucky enough to connect at all the controls are limited or missing altogether. The EOS computer utility works well, use that instead if you can.

It's a little bit of a challenge for me to connect but I found the easiest way is to connect through my 6D Mark 2. It's a breeze to adjust iso, shutter speed, and f-stop though my phone app once connected. This makes it really easy to be in my family pictures. It would be nice however if there was a way to connect the app and camera to a cloud that way I can access the pictures without turning on my camera and connecting to it. But for a simple app it's nice tool to have.

Impossible to connect to an R5 with Bluetooth. I've rebooted, reinstalled for hours. My Android phone can easily connect to my PC, audio players, and my car, but never connects to my R5. I want 2 simple things: 1. Control camera functions without touching the camera (including for self portraits and videos) 2. Connect with bluetooth when I'm anywhere to record GPS from my phone. This isn't rocket science, but it appears to be so for the Canon engineers. I would give zero stars if I could!

It would be better if there is a setting where I can still take pictures with the shutter of the camera ang just use the app as the viewer of the photos like those what professionals use.

Cla. C. Apr 28, 2022     

Ahhh, this app is TERRIBLE! (IN MY WILLY FROM PHILLY VOICE) I had high hope for this app seeing as though my Canon EOS 800D camera is freaking amazing! I was completely let down and bamboozeld. I've had flipped phones that worked better than this app. The connection keeps dropping, I can't import any PHOTOS quick enough to my phone before the connection drops and this is just not the way I wanted to end my evening after a day full of amazing photoshoots. Canon can do BETTAH!

Works great on my past/other phone models, but the app does NOT work with my new REVVL android phone from T-mobile. When I connect, it just gets stuck on "connecting to (wifi) network". How infuriating. Tried working the settings for hours It establishes it's own "canon network" to connect to in the wifi settings, which works on my other phones, but won't work here on the REVVL phone. What a shame. Please get on this canon!!!

Yeah not very good from Canon, great cameras obviously but 2003 called they want their UI back. Connection is a nightmare and you need some serious time and practice to discover all the strange weird rules like no VPN, turn off mobile data (sometimes helps). Things i never have to think of for any other app ever all of a sudden i have to scour the internet for solutions. Also it disconnects at the drop of a hat and no intervalometer....

Bri. B. Apr 20, 2022     

It doesn't work plain and simple. You may get a connection once out of twenty tries and you'll have to reset the connection as if it never paired before everytime to even hope for a connection. I paired once and it has not paired since. Fix this or just delete it, this app has been nothing but frustrating and unusable

Never had a problem with this app until this month. Have always used it to take photos off my camera onto my phone. Has always worked fine with my S21 then just stopped working. Won't connect by Bluetooth. Even when it says its searching for Bluetooth smartphone nearby and the app is open doing the same thing..nothing. completely unacceptable.

Dia. V. May 22, 2022     

After not using the app for a few months, came back to find I have the same issue as most of the users in here - I couldn't connect. I realised my brother changed the wifi password a while back, so I reconnected the Canon camera using the new password and I was able to connect with my phone again. Hope this helps other users as well.

What's going on with this app? I open it and tap 'Images on Camera.' The pictures will appear but the app crashes immediately after. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and the same result. Today(4/16/2022) the app is absolute trash! I've been trying for over an hour to connect.

Tro. M. Feb 28, 2022     

I have used this app (and previous versions) since 2014. It's always been a bit finicky connecting to my cameras, but whatever you did with the most recent version completely broke it. I am unable to pair it to any of my camera bodies. It has become completely useless which is unfathomable in this day and age.

Jac. A. Mar 27, 2022     

***FIX: check your app permissions in settings and make sure 'connect to nearby devices' is enabled on the app! *** This app worked perfectly when I first downloaded it around 2 years ago but has been unusable for months, unable to detect or connect to my camera. Turns out the app permissions must have been automatically changed by my phone's OS. I enabled it again and it's back working! Now I can get photos straight to my phone in seconds. Camera: EOS 250D Phone: Pixel 4a

Dia. A. Mar 15, 2022     

It takes me.half an hour to FINALLY get it connected after attempting over and over to pair the devices. I have to toggle airplane mode on and off on my camera over and over I have to delete the camera from my phone and delete the phone from my camera over and over and by some miracle of god it finally connects and you would think that these two devices could remember each other within this app. No! No that would be far too convenient instead I've got a ways to half an hour of my work day pairin

Jai. H. Mar 4, 2022     

Now won't connect. Painstakingly connected it to my OnePlus phone twice.. Tried many many MANY times after that and it will not reconnect. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Tried all the things Google recommended. I do not get why this app makes you go through multiple steps every single time.

Kay. H. Mar 27, 2022     

If I could give this app a zero star rating I would. I downloaded the app because it recommended this particular app to work with my Canon rebel. It does connect but it wouldn't show the live view and it was glitchy and slow. It ended up freezing mid photo and ended up crashing the app.

Mik. P. May 7, 2022     

This app can sometimes work perfectly, but can also be very frustrating. Lately it keeps saying there's no card in camera even though my camera can read the card. Of course you can't do anything if it thinks there isn't a card. Very annoying when you're trying to make YouTube videos

Mik. U. May 25, 2022     

Worksgreat with my 7D Mark ii. Very little lag time with live shooting. Easy to setup.

Baq. A. May 21, 2022     

It use to work fine, what happened? It would connect my camera to my phone instantly, but early 2022, I'd have to use ray connect every time. Trying today, it won't connect at all. There was no firmware update for the camera and the app was updated in February and I think that bricked this device.

Don. S. May 15, 2022     

Connection is the biggest issue. Seemed to be fine before the last update, where it would automatically connect. Now you have to manually do it and it doesn't always connect quickly!

Bud. M. May 18, 2022     

I try to connect my EOS R to camera connect app today,but it realy waste of time.it shows but couldn't got connected but last week it worked without a trouble.i have samsung mobile, all other devices which use wifi and bluetooth worked perfectly.i clear all the connection data from camara and the device and try it again but didnt work😡

Gun. G. Apr 27, 2022     

Most of the time the app won't connect. When it does it's glitchy and unreliable. All I want is reliable geotagging! This is unacceptable!!! Yes my firmware is up to date and yes I'm using the latest app. Yes I have technical knowledge. It's just a terribly app!!!

nat. c. Mar 4, 2022     

Worked fine on my s9, just got an s21 5g. absolutely unusable! my t7 can't connect to my phone anymore. this is a major shame, as my laptop doesn't have a slot for my SD card. canon better fix this soon, I rely on this app for personal and class photography. Edit: No fix after this long, but added support for other cameras? dissapointing.
