Canon should hire a pro to design their app – Canon Camera Connect Review

App is very amateur. Why prompt to turn on Bluetooth with EVERY USE when your camera only supports wifi? GPS Location tagging is broken for EOS Rebel T6, and tech support confirmed. Canon seems far behind the social media tech age, where you can communicate so easily between cheap smart devices ($5 Bluetooth headphones). This app, however, requires you to disconnect your phone from wifi internet in order to connect to the camera. It doesn't simply pair. It requires a 3 minute process every time you want to connect, using multiple menu selections on both camera and phone every time just to sync. For cameras that supposedly handle uploading GPS, it isn't smart enough to grab GPS only when you take a picture, but instead keeps your phone's GPS ON every second, logging your entire trip, and then later it will check the time you took the picture and match it with your travel records. I'm really surprised it doesn't just automatically pair when near your iPhone (like a set of headphones) and request GPS info as needed. Why not partner with Apple and Android to become part of the digital future?
