Canon Camera Connect Reviews
extremely primitive and clunky
especially awful for video transferring. i have over 150 GB of space, and the app refuses to let me download 4 GB videos from my 70D onto my phone. everyone in the Canon subreddit has had the same issue from years; it’s evident Canon do not care
Why can’t canon create an easy to connect app?
As a photographer, it’s really frustrating not being able to rely on basic connectivity to the canon connect app from my 5D Mark IV. I swear it takes me about 30 tries to connect randomly and all I want to do is transfer photos to my phone to share with the rest of the world. For the love of God, can you please log a support ticket for this app and have a developer fix the connection? I love canon but this is such a poor app.
App
I downloaded the app just to find out my camera was not compatible
Doesn’t connect to camera WiFi most of the time
Doesn’t connect to camera WiFi most of the time
This app is a scary and appalling privacy violation
Canon insist on collecting your location information, mobile identifier, detailed information about your camera, connection type and images stored on the camera and sending it all offshore.
The app used to be great before they introduced all that without providing any way to opt out, as it is I’m astounded that it’s legal.
User beware.
Good
Very average, 1 thing I would LOVE is for them to bring “video transfer” the app only allows you to transfer photos and I would love if they could make it so you can transfer videos!
Gone to trash
Since the update it will not properly connect to wifi. It says it’s connected to you camera but then you can’t move past that point to actually use it!! Really disappointing, should have left it as it was
iPhone hotspot
Once I realised I could use my iPhone’s personal hotspot function, the connection to my 6D (purchased 2nd hand) worked a charm.
What happened
Used to work amazingly, since this update it doesn’t work at all. It won’t register any camera, please fix this.
Lucky me I haven’t updated the app on my iPad so I can still use it perfectly, but now it’s an extra step to get it only my phone.
No longer works
I’ve used this app ever since I bought my G7X but since the register update, the app is no longer useful. I loved being able to transfer files over wifi while I travel and have sadly discovered on my current trip, I can no longer do that. I followed the advice on their website but it simply does not work. I am super disappointed and sad I can’t share my photos while I travel. Now I will have to do the old method of transferring through a computer which is NOT what I bought this camera for. Despite the camera being almost 10 years old it works great. App has ruined my experience.
