Update violates App Store policies

By DigitalDan05

The latest update require an account to use but the main features of connecting to your camera haven’t required an account in the past and still shouldn’t, but the app requires you to create an account. This violates a section of the app review guidelines: + (v) Account Sign-In: If your app doesn’t include significant account-based features, let people use it without a login.


Have to make an account now

By Ccccn

This used to be a great app. Now you are required to sign up for an account in order to connect your device and sign on EVERY time you want to upload your photos to your phone. Signing on EACH time is a pain and I no longer wish to use the app anymore. Not only that I had to give up my personal info to sign up and my email which I get enough emails and don’t need more emails me this is ridiculous change it back to not needing a login!! Infuriating! Major inconvenience. Will be deleting once I find my cord and go back to wired.


Miserable Canon ID requirement update

By klizza2

Now requiring a Canon ID account just to transfer images from the camera is a joke.


Update keeps you from using the app unless you make an account

By Drethelin

No one likes an app that forces you to make an account. Worked for years before without that.


Canon Camera (Doesn’t) Connect

By gottagetchemall

This is an official position to rename this sorry excuse of an app. 1/2 the time it does not connect. The other 1/2, it doesn’t stay connected. And 90% of that time it doesn’t stay connected for mor than 15 minutes, you’ll get 10 mins if you’re lucky… This is the saddest excuse for a fast/ easy transfer app that I have ever used…. And unfortunately I have been using it (well, trying to) for going on 10 years. Why, for a leading, premium tech company, that’s world renowned for their camera equipment, do they have the worst connection app on the market… It’s almost as if they started developing the app in 2003… and just quit… It’s like they haven’t updated, refurbed, or scanned for bugs in 20 years… This is sad, embarrassing, and disappointing. Canon, do better.
