User Reviews

DSLR Controller is loved for its intuitive interface and wireless camera control, especially with older Canon bodies, making it a go-to on-location tool and offering good value. However, it suffers from lack of updates and compatibility with modern Android devices, connectivity and stability issues, occasional billing problems, and UI/display quirks on newer hardware, which limits its usefulness for users with current devices.

Pros

Intuitive, smooth interface that makes camera control easy.
Wireless remote control/monitoring on-location.
Long-standing, trusted tool used for years and good value for the price.
Works with older Canon bodies (e.g., 5D Mark III, 60D, 1000D).
Portable, reliable on-location backup monitor and trigger.

Cons

Not updated and poorly supported on modern Android devices; compatibility issues with newer phones/tablets (e.g., Pixel 7, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Tab S9) and long gaps between updates.
Camera detection/connection failures (often reports no camera connected or fails to detect the camera).
Crashes, glitches, and performance issues on newer devices (slow focus pulls, digital zoom issues, general instability).
Billing/double-charge issues (charges appear again after purchase) and refund frictions.
UI/display issues on newer devices (cropped UI or hidden options due to large/new screens) and inconsistent experience across devices.

Recent reviews

I used to use this app alot. It needs to be updated for newer phones. I want to use it again but am unable to do so. Will change review if this app is ever updated to work with newer phones. Edit- It's 2026 and still not updated or working on newer phones. Support for this app is likely dead. Sad really.

I thought they were going to update at some point, this app is obsolete, DO NOT BUY IT!!

Love the app! Been using it for years on my Canon 5D Mark III. It's given me so much more credibility. I love it! A few glitches don't bother me, I can always use it. And a small fee is totally worth it. Thank you!
