Not happy. The app has a definite lag time that makes ridiculous for real-time control. I only get less than 2 minutes at a time to control or view it on my phone before it disconnects. Very frustrating. :( If it worked, I can see how it would be truly useful to control from across the room, but alas, that does not occur.

Once you get it working, it's fine for remote controlling your Vixia R80 or R800. However, for me, it wouldn't show up in my Google Play Store because the developer didn't list my device as compatible - my device being the MOST POPULAR android phone out there, the Samsung Galaxy. If you find that it's not showing up in your Play Store, you may need to find the .apk directly and install it that way so that you can get remote control access over your camcorder.

Laggy but works on my Vixia hf r82. Please make it compatible with Samsung S9 plus.

This is fuel app

Ric. S. Jan 21, 2017     

It just doesn't work. All it says is that I'm not connected, without offering any help or ideas on How to connect.

Ral. H. Apr 5, 2017     

Says camera is not connected, and won't even start. Totally useless. Uninstalling.

Ken. S. Mar 19, 2017     

Not intuitive. Terms don't match between app & camera. Setup not working via Android 6.0.1 for either in home or out. NFC not connecting. Continuous 'cannot connect to server. Try again after a while'.

Does not work with vixia r82

This app is working for my Canon Vixia HFR40 thank you

Van. B. Jul 1, 2016     

It claims to work with the Legria Mini. The thing is that in order to connect to the Mini, you have to connect the phone to its access point. As there is no Internet connection, the app doesn't recognise there's a camcorder. Then you can't manually add the Mini's WiFi details to the app settings as it claims they are incorrect. An awfully flawed app that should be addressed immediately as it hinders one of the Mini's main selling points.

More agrivation than its worth.

The app shows a 10s delate

Ada. A. Feb 9, 2016     

Instructions are lacking, UI is pathetic, and the app just plain doesn't work well.

E. L. Jan 10, 2016     

Huge lag between the true image and what you see on the phone. The whole thing feels like a cheaply made third-party app, not anything officially sponsored.

Wil. R. Mar 6, 2016     

Garbage! They sell you a so called smart camera only to discover none of the smart features actually work. Utterly disgraceful.

Lon. J. Apr 19, 2016     

Doesn't work with my Nexus 7 2013 because it has Android 6.02 which is the main tablet I need to use it with .... Now I'm wishing I would have went with a Go Pro

Phi. N. Jan 6, 2016     

I'm really happy that I can finally use this with my Note 5 and my Vixia R50. I do wish I could control my camera while it's at 60fps though. Seems very strange that I can't.

Will not connect to Canon VIXIA HF R72

Sle. K. Jun 18, 2016

Edg. G. Jun 13, 2016
