Very Useful, but don’t expect perfection
This app is great if you don’t expect great things out of it. It is great at allowing you to quickly access and manage your photos through connecting with the camera. This feature helps me frequently when I want to quickly access the pictures I took at that time. You can download your pictures, even raw pictures, to your device and do with them as you please. I found that videos are typically unable to be played in this app which can be upsetting, but remember, keep expectations modest. Lastly, the live view photo feature is useful and can be nice as a remote trigger for tripod use and pictures that require stability. Not great for fast tracking or professional use though as it is finicky and not perfect in some ways. 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. I’d give the app 4 to 4.5 stars, but it’s current ratings aren’t accurate so 5 it is. :)

Reliable and simple camera to iPhone, very satisfied.
I’ve been using the app for a week with new Canon EOS M50. Good guide for pairing (the usual Bluetooth multi step but the app is easy to follow). Once paired it stays paired so you don’t have to set it up new every time. App has very fast and straightforward and intuitive ability to scroll through images quickly. There are hundreds in my camera already and I found it super easy to locate, zoom in, download to iPhone for further editing or posting. Have not used GPS or remote control yet. I also every much like that Canon does not try too hard to direct you to their cloud storage (I have my own thank you very much) unlike some other brands who even force you to create jpg with their supposed photo management software (which usually stinks). I also like the M50 as a lightweight travel camera in between a pocket cam, iPhone, and DLSR.

Amp up my photo game
The only reason it’s not 5 star is because of how confusing it was to set up at first. I am using a canon rebel t6i. The options start on the M series, but for the most part the self set up is pretty easy. I am giving them a great deal of credit because it seems like they tried to accommodate a lot of models. Once I did get it connected though I was beyond a static and even squealed a little like a little girl. Right away I’m able to access the images on my camera and download them, or I can send them to social media right away and change the compression size to a JPEG format or smaller. However both the camera and the phone must be on Wi-Fi to utilize this, I know that there is a physical device that I can buy to make it so I could use this no matter what which is normally about $130 starting, but for somebody who didn’t want to spend that yet this is an amazing feature and has already amped up my photography business!
