EOS cell phone connection app

[This child]

I just downloaded Canon's camera to cell phone connection app.
Has anyone here used the app and how did it work for you?
Thanks

I tried it when I first got my camera, seemed to work fine, though I haven't used it recently.

Are you having issues with it?

Easy enough for me to get the camera out and connect it if you are having spesific issues...

No problems. I was able to connect camera to phone .
I was reading the reviews in the app store and there were a lot of negative comments,
so I was just curious.

I used it for the first time last month and had no issues. It was for a self timer type shot. There are controls for your settings, but I already had those plugged in. Had in the 2 second timer and it seemed to have no delay.

I own an EOS R....and now a Google Pixel 6.
I have a Vello remote trigger that i love and use frequently...however, using a phone app would intrigue me if I could also use it to select the focus point. Also when I do landscapes and the camera is low to the ground with the tripod legs splayed flat (to get a puddle reflection or long exposure on a windy day) it would be nice to change camera settings from a phone rather than having to bend down to get ground level in mud or puddle to use the rear camera display...(yeah I'm almost 60)

I too have heard less than glowing reviews of Canon free software so I might pay for something better, just as I never liked their DPP software and didn't mind paying for Lightroom. Interestingly enough the more recent reviews seem to be the more unfavorable ones. I wonder if it because it is old and not updated to work well in more up-to-date versions of android.
Does anyone use another android phone app for remote trigger? Has anyone gone on a similar journey searching for a good android phone app?
