## Description

Canon Mini Cam works with the Canon IVY REC to turn your mobile device into a live viewfinder and remote shutter with a timer. It displays battery life, remaining MicroSD capacity, video resolution (720p or 1080p), and image size, helping you shoot with confidence.

Photos and videos can be wirelessly transferred to your device for easy printing, sharing, and editing. Additional features will be added in future updates.

## Review summary

User reviews criticize the Canon Mini Cam iOS app for instability and poor functionality. Repeated issues include inability to connect or frequent disconnections (WiFi/Bluetooth), non-functional live viewfinder/remote viewing, and a lack of in-app guidance. Many report iPhone-specific problems while Android versions sometimes work. Users request a long-overdue update, arguing the app hampers the camera’s appeal. Some note you must save videos to the camera roll to view them.

### Pros

- Intended as a live viewfinder and photo viewer for the camera, aligning with user expectations.
- Some devices can connect, indicating potential cross-device compatibility (e.g., older iPhone models and certain Android devices).

### Cons

- Frequent disconnections and unstable connections over WiFi/Bluetooth, making the app hard to use.
- Live View/remote viewfinder often does not work; screen is blank or the app disconnects during use.
- iOS compatibility issues; users report the app works on Android but not reliably on iPhone.
- Requires saving videos to the camera roll to view, which is slow and storage-intensive.
- Lack of in-app instructions and an outdated, unpolished user experience; calls for a long-overdue update.
