Ratings and Reviews
Lacks basic intervalometer feature.
It’s alright for what it says it does, but it is limited in what it can do - no built in intervalometer? Come on. Once you realise you’d have to keep pressing the shutter button in the app every 10-15 seconds, it quickly loses its utility, for me. I can’t be the only one who planned on using this app on the assumption it would have such a feature?
I still use it for the occasional shot where I don’t want to physically touch the camera but I really expect the app to have a basic timer feature.
Other third party apps exist that do it reasonably well, so it’s technically very possible. I assume they want to gatekeep this sort of feature so that customers have to spend extra thousands of dollars on better cameras that have it built it as a feature?
Still, for what it does do, it does it well. 3/5.
Doesn’t work
Useless. Doesn’t ever connect. Wasted part of my life trying to get this stupid app to link my phone and my camera. It’s quicker and easier to buy a card reader, eject the SD card, put it in the card reader, insert it into a computer, download the software, edit your photos in Adobe camera raw, upload to OneDrive, then access your OneDrive on your phone, and download them to your phone. That’s all quicker than using this app and expecting Bluetooth to function.
I tried again a year later but discovered the app wants access to all photos on my phone. Why? Why does Canon want access to my personal photos on my phone? I just want to get some photos off the camera. Suspect.
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.
