Ratings and reviews

While this requires a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection to a compatible Canon camera(I use the Canon EOS R50), it makes for a convenient way to transfer photos and videos from my camera to my phone. My one complaint is that videos can take a while to transfer. In that case, USB file transfer(with at least a 10 Gbps USB C cable) to a PC then to my phone may be faster. Even still, that's a minor complaint since the videos are fairly large files.

Incredibly helpful and a fantastic idea, when it decides to work. Having something that turns my phone into not only a second screen, but also a clicker opens up the ability for self portraits, remote shooting, and other amazing possibilities. Unfortunately the number of disconnections and other instabilitys reduce the fantastic potential of the app, not certain if it's just my model of camera, but I've had to troubleshoot every time of use. Stable permanent connection would up rating alone.

Rubbish. Got this to work once. As far as I can tell, Canon don't seem to care. Still rubbish 3 years later. Gave it the benefit of the doubt with the updated app but still doesn't connect. The one time I did get it to connect (3 years ago) it was very useful but the app and camera just take me round in circles to no good effect. VERY FRUSTRATING!
