You’d think after spending $7000 on a camera that is supposed to do what they say it can Canon would provide an app that makes it actually happen. After that it just repeats the same thing again. Then the WiFi connection drops and refuses to connect again until you turn the camera off then back on.
But, after the first time transferring a few images to my phone and then filling the cameras card up a bit I went to transfer a few more images and it crashes the app just scrolling the images. Maybe it was the fact I hadn’t taken many pictures yet so it didn’t have to process much information. The first time I connected the app to my 1DX Markiii it seemed to work fine after configuring everything, which by the way is far more complicated than it needs to be. I’m not sure which it is, the app or the camera, probably both. I’d give the app 4 to 4.5 stars, but it’s current ratings aren’t accurate so 5 it is. Overall, the app is great for light to moderate use and for those who like to immediately or conveniently access their pictures on their device without needing to take out the card from the camera.

Not great for fast tracking or professional use though as it is finicky and not perfect in some ways. Lastly, the live view photo feature is useful and can be nice as a remote trigger for tripod use and pictures that require stability. I found that videos are typically unable to be played in this app which can be upsetting, but remember, keep expectations modest.

You can download your pictures, even raw pictures, to your device and do with them as you please. This feature helps me frequently when I want to quickly access the pictures I took at that time. It is great at allowing you to quickly access and manage your photos through connecting with the camera. This app is great if you don’t expect great things out of it. I like using the app as a remote shutter when shooting at night. Other than that everything else seems fine. I wish I could download the files to a folder vs only having the option to download to iPhoto to get around this issue. I did test my theory using a third party camera app for iPhone that lets you shoot raw photos using the phones camera and imported those into Lightroom mobile and those remained in their raw format. Not sure if this is an iPhone optimizing issue or not.
I select the pictures I want and download them but when I move them from iPhoto to Lightroom mobile they are all JPEG. When I open the app to view photos I see that they are raw files. I’m not sure if anyone else has noticed this but when I download my photos from the camera they’re in JPEG even though I’m shooting in raw. I’m currently using this on an iPhone 7+ with a canon 80D. I found turning off the camera and waiting about 2 seconds and then turning it back on seems to fix that issue and it connects right away. As others have mentioned the camera seems to connect and drop randomly. I’ve been using the app for a couple months now and overall I’m happy with its functionality when it works.
