Canon Mini Cam for Negative User Reviews
✓ The app doesn’t work!I want to say that the camera itself works! You can view your images if you connect it to your laptop. However, the main selling point of this camera doesn’t work. You cannot view images you’ve taken using this app, it simply doesn’t work at all..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Doesn’t workComplicated.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Needs improvement.The app should connect once and have all the new photos there and saved on the app. If I were to lose the camera and hadn’t downloaded all the pictures, the app is useless. It is not as productive as it could be. Please improve the app. I cannot even see the gallery anymore, need to use the SD card. Disappointing for so much money spent on the camera it self..Version: 1.1.0
✓ App won’t download photosI bought this camera to go on holiday but the app doesn’t allow me to view any photos so the camera is essentially useless to me. Extremely disappointed..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Still UnusableEven after the latest update this remains the worst tech purchase I’ve ever made. Poor implementation and terrible design. I’m planning to return this for a refund. Avoid!!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Frustrating/DisappointingAfter previously using canon camera and the apps that correlated with them I was eager to try out this new easily handheld camera with a seemingly user friendly and functioning app. Unfortunately after downloading the app it became clear that it was not user friendly, after tinkering with it for a bit I was able to connect my camera, or so I thought. Although the camera “connects” every time I go to try and access the photos (which is the whole point of this app) my device attempts to and then fails as each time the device disconnects. It is extremely frustrating because one of the main appeals to this device was the app, hopefully they will improve upon this.Version: 1.1.0
✓ App doesn’t workSo sad getting a new camera and having no way of connecting it to your phone to view the pictures or do ANYTHING. It disconnects soon as you try and do anything on the app. Please fix this problem. Waste of money!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Not goodI turned on the camera, downloaded the app connected the camera to my phone / the all and it looked like it was going to be a really cool and exciting buy. I was able to see the video live on my phone and it seemed to just need the micro SD to start working. Then I installed the micro SD. The camera has trouble connecting with an micro Sd inserted, strange. I then tried a different micro sd, still problems. I opened the app and it automatically installed some kind I’d update. Then when I finally got the shutter to work and pairing mode on, of course, the device wouldn’t connect to the app any more. The app doesn’t work correctly, the IVY camera itself has trouble connecting when there is an SD card inside of it. I don’t know if this is a refurbished product, if the app is busted or both but at this point frustrating buy. Hoping to call canon customer service and want to see what they can do for me..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Doesn’t connectCan’t connect to the camera. No viewfinder function. Must transfer pictures from the camera to my iPad by sd card. Disappointing..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Live View not workingLive View shows blank screen..Version: 1.1.0
✓ The software does not workBought the camera. Downloaded the app onto my iPhone. Made the Bluetooth connection. Then we descend into the circle of buffering and software errors. Does not retain the connection. Does not upload the photos into the iPhone. It does nothing. And the instruction manual has no instructions on downloading by or displaying the photos on your iPhone. Come on Canon. Sort it out..Version: 1.1.0
✓ App doesn’t workApp refuses to connect to my phone. I’ve had this camera for about 2 years now and every now and again I pull it out of its box to see if it works and it never does.Version: 1.1.0
✓ No Live FeatureThis app is in dire need of an update. It’s supposed to serve as a live view-finder and it can’t even do that, which alot of the more recent reviews are saying as well..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Go backIf you just bought this camera put it directly back in the box and return it to the store. Don’t waste your time. The app is worthless if you want to use as a viewfinder. Spend a little more money and get something not as frustrating. The videos look aweful with or without app.Version: 1.0.4
✓ This Is CrapIf only we can give a 0 Star. I downloaded the app, put the sd card in and let my grandkids take pictures. When I tried looking at the pictures with the app it says disconnected. The app just keeps closing itself. Total waste of time and money. Lesson learned don’t buy anything Canon.Version: 1.1.0
✓ I can’t see my photosPlease update the app because I can’t see or download the photos that I’ve taken with the ivyrec. This is very disappointing..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Can’t connectI can’t connect with camera. Need an update as soon as possible..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Good concept, poor executionI was an early supporter on Indigo and was hoping this would be a worthy replacement for my Polaroid Cube+, which I loved. Sadly Polaroid has not upgraded the iOS software. So far, I am disappointed. Hopefully the mini cam app is the problem and not the hardware. The app is slow to connect, slow to use, clunky, not intuitive and constantly disconnects from the camera. The app is definitely not ready for prime time. Not impressed with the photos so far. The button is very hard to push and makes it hard to hold the camera steady. I’m guessing anti-shake is not built in. I’ll dig out an adapter and look at the pictures on my MacBook. One tremendous opportunity missed, if feasible, was using Apple Watch as a viewer/shutter..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Has support been abandoned?Since downloading iOS 17, the app crashes when trying to use iPhone as viewfinder..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Please updateIs anyone working on this app anymore? It's barely functional. The last update looks like it was from 2 years ago...please update, I love this camera I want to actually adjust the settings on it.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Lost connection Bluetooth and WiFiThe app doesn’t work. The unit connects on iPhone through Bluetooth and you can change some settings but as soon as you click on the remote capabilities and image gallery where it connects through WiFi it disconnects the Bluetooth and fails to connect..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Doesn’t work with iPhoneThe app doesn’t work with iPhone, hard to connect, constantly drops out. However it works great on my Samsung phone. No issues on that phone with their app..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Terrible implementationThe app is supposed to be the viewfinder and the photo/video viewer of the camera. You can can do NONE of both. So not only you have no idea how you are framing but then you need to remove the SD card every single time you want to see what you have shot. I'm sure Canon os going to fix it eventually but talking about a rushed Indiegogo campaign and releasing something that is not ready. So my recommendation is stay away from any Canon crowdfunding projects. They execute poorly..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Bad app for a bad cameraJust horrible experience trying to connect this joke of a device to this joke of an app. Neither work at all. Good idea. Impossible to use tho. Major disappointment..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Not connectingMy Canon Ivy Rec is not connecting to this camera at all.Version: 1.1.0
✓ DisappointedOne of the main selling points of this camera is the fact that you can wirelessly transmit photos to your phone easily, so what’s the point of having this app when the only purpose of the app doesn’t actually work?.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Pure junk. Do not purchase.I have tried multiple times to get this camera to work, or to use the app on my phone (iPhone 11). This set up is pure junk. I can’t see what I am shooting, I can’t access the library when I am done. Worthless and a complete waste of money. Don’t buy it!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Keeps disconnectingThe app is worthless, will not stay connected. Like the other reviewer, I’m hoping that an upgrade to the app will solve the problem and it’s not a hardware issue.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Total rubbishOnce i got firmware update, i am getting into the loop of getting wifi error, disconnection and reconnection. App doesnt work.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Doesn’t work for iPhone, works for androidI tried the app on iPhone 11 and the app doesn’t work. I tried on my Android and it works just fine. Hopefully you all can update or fix the ios version of this app..Version: 1.0.4
✓ App GlitchesThe app shows that it is downloaded but i don’t have it and no matter what i do i can’t delete or redownload it..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Terrible please fix.Won’t connect to device. Please fix..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Please update the app?The most annoying part of the app is that you need to save every single video to your camera roll in order to watch it. Why wouldn’t you be able to watch them in the app? Who has 10 minutes at a time and unlimited storage to download all these videos?.Version: 1.0.5
✓ WorthlessWhen they say “some images may be simulated” they mean Live View. Apparently that major feature—what I bought the camera for—doesn’t actually exist yet. I can live with the disconnection issue; it reconnects quickly. But a camera that’s dependent on a feature that IT DOESN’T HAVE? If I wanted something I have to look through to take a picture, I’ve got a DSLR for that. If I wanted something smaller that still needs looking at, I have my phone for that. I seriously do not understand who the customer base for this is—people with smartphones who want to keep their phones in their pockets and carry a second device with none of the capabilities of the phone cameras that they necessarily have? I don’t think those people exist. I am not a happy puppy. Thankfully, I bought this retail, because it’s going back tonight. Update: Returned the camera. Deleted the app..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Help me!!The app has no instructions so when I try to make YouTube videos idk how to do on my phone it’s not helpful to give me no instructions and expect me to do fine.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Still need improve the app！！！！Cannot link this on my iphone 14！！！but I can link this by my old iphone X 😢.Version: 1.1.0
