Canon DPP Express App Reviews

We transfer money over €4 billion every month. We enable individual and business accounts to save 4 million Euros on bank transfer fees. Want to send free money abroad or transfer money abroad for free? Free international money transfer!

Money grab subscription. DPP has always been free. Probably one of the reasons you bought Canon instead of Sony. Now Canon is moving to subscription based software to view/alter their RAW files. Without a way to view/alter RAW files your “pro” $6k R3 body is kinda pointless.

PLEASE allow access to folders!. Selecting from the camera roll with hundreds of raws is very difficult.. please allow choosing a folder when importing a photo!

Jumped on the Adobe subscription bandwagon. You buy a nice Canon camera for several thousand dollars, then you download this app and it wants to nickel and dime you for $1 per month… Also can’t access photo files unless they are stored in your camera roll, that’s a non starter for most pro workflows with external drives and even just plugged in camera cards. Direct transfer from camera is slow at best.

Great. Grand

Ummm….. Please tell me I didn’t Spend thousands on canon camera and lenses then gotta pay 0.99 a month for a app to export raw images ?? Am I missing something? Or am I misunderstanding how this app works?

update for canon eos m100. hi! i nuy a eos m100 i cant use the app, the camera is pretty but update please i want to use it and others with the m100, thanks 📷👍

Almost great!. I would love to see a few things added before I choose to subscribe. Please add ability to import directly from an SD card or external drive. I don’t particularly enjoy the canon connect process. Please add a dust/spot removal tool as well. If you ever could, please consider adding the ability to edit directly on an external drive. Those 3 things would be absolutely perfect for me on my iPad. I would happily pay for your subscription if the first two suggestions happen and the third would be the icing on the cake. Oh and a way to organize photos in the app instead of just having them all on display at once. Other than those 4 things, I love the app. It’s great and I see it really working for a lot of us photographers.

Fantastic App. I don’t understand all the critical reviews. The app is well designed with an intuitive interface. No other camera manufacturer is offering anything like this, This is very cool !

NYC. First time using this app and it’s so easy to use and definitely worth giving it a shot.

Mediocre and then went subscription. The app fell far short of DPP on the desktop and was limited to a few cameras and file formats. While it was free, it was worth having on your iPad Incase you wanted to do a quick edit in the field but once Canon changed it to subscription it was an instant delete. I suspect if they’d kept it free and improved it, even gradually, the goodwill from having free raw editing on desktop and mobile would have been worth more than the small amount of subscription dollars they’ll earn. Silly Canon, opportunity missed.

No 5D mark 4 support?. What a waste of time but I bet the paid app later this year will take care of this? Just hope it’s cheap but with Canon I’m betting not!

I thought it would let me share it?. Can’t share?

Really disappointing output.... Overlooking the fact this app does not support CR2 raws (I have an EOS R), the image quality that you get from processing CR3 RAW files in the app is pretty ugly. Equally as disappointing is how slow it functions. Granted, I’m “only” using a first generation iPad pro 12.9”, but every other RAW editor on this device flys. It might be worth keeping around when I need to get a RAW file off my EOS R wirelessly, but on top of the dog performance and crap output, you can’t even export RAW files to use in another app.

iPad Penalty Tax - Seriously?!. Why is this application FREE to use on a MAC, but I have to pay a monthly fee to use on iPad.... I thought my purchase of a new Canon camera was enough... App Deleted - Seriously reconsidering future Canon purchases.

3 supported cameras. This truly doesn’t make sense, only 3 supported cameras. No CR2.

Useless. Even after moving to a subscription model, it fails to support all cameras that use .CR2. The app is not expanded to support .CR2 but only with a limited number of cameras. I have a 6D original, which supports .CR2 and is supported by Camera Connect but that file is disabled on DPPe. Why? Does Canon really believe such restriction will lead to users upgrading for its excellent cameras to the new brood?

Need a desktop equivalent. The software is bit clunky to use but the quality of the photos processed from this tool is amazing. Canon please release a desktop version or just allow the iPad version to run on Macs with Apple Silicon.

Camera. Does not support my camera

Cr2 must be added. Unacceptable to not support most all cameras in your line for raw. Fix it please.

Canon cripple hammer strikes again. It seems lately Canon is in a race to the bottom to see how little value they can provide to the customer at inflated profits. This poorly executed app with a monthly subscription fee is a perfect example. One Spends thousands of dollars on their camera and lenses, but now they want you to pay to see and edit the pics taken with that equipment. Pathetic. Shame on you Canon.

Cannot even download from camera roll anymore!!!. Last week this worked and now I cannot download even single photo from my camera roll on my iPad Pro. I get en Error: download cancelled due to lack of space. I have 200 GB of space so this is NOT the problem. PLEASE FIX this Canon.

Request. I have canon eos 70 D and it does not work . I am curios whether it will be able to do so in new update

Canon Cripple Hammer strikes. Yes, I subscribed. Mainly because Apple has yet to provide raw file support for the RP (Canon you have anything to do with that? The R got supported pretty quickly.) I spent all this money on your cameras and then you chintz out on the necessary software. Been looking at the new Nikon Z50.

Yay!. Yay! I don’t have to break out my 13 year old massively out of date laptop anymore. Now if only somebody would put in a channel mixer so I can channel swap infrared photos! That would be the only thing I’d add to this.

Sad. Can not believe i have had this app for less than minute and it is telling me that even though i have there camera that i spent to me a lot of money and now i have to buy your app instead of being able to just use it. I have had the camera for 3 days and now i am sending it back and getting a Nikon, no wonder you are losing the market to them and others good luck

I cant import my CR2 pics??. For jpgs is fine, but ihave 4 free software in phone that i can edit them; i need to edit my cr2 ones…. Will not pay for this

Canon is smoking something. The nerve of them to charge for this. Definitely makes me think less of this company that I’ve spent thousands of dollars with.

Good except for subscription. I’d rather buy the app outright. Especially since it is free on the desktop.

No folders??. Why can’t we select a folder when importing? Scrolling through the whole camera roll is tough.

No Support for $6500 Camera! Really???. App is a waste for 99.9% of Canon users/owners.

Exporting is Terrible. When exporting from the app to your camera roll it completely distorts the image.

I needed simple this is it!. I was looking for an App to crop and reduce file size before sending images for review to other colleagues. I am like the ease of use and appreciate the edit functions that are available. I use my Mac and the other Canon workflow for the more detailed edits.

What is canon thinking?. Not good even without subscription and with this update and subscription they are making sure even the few who used it for a couple of times will no longer use it. Have no clue what the canon guys were thinking.

How do I give this zero stars.. Dear Canon, Your users spend thousands of dollars on your bodies, and lenses. Some of us faithfully hit all the upgrade cycles. And now you want to charge us $.99 cents a month for software on IOS that, oh wait, you provide at no charge for MacOS and Windoze and is part of the overall cost of ownership of Canon Gear. Really? Someone please take the time to explain to us why you’ve done this because it’s narrow sighted. IMHO, you have really screwed the pooch and depleted a lot of customer goodwill.

I was tricked in a Subscription I can’t cancel!!!. This app isn’t for IPhone at all! It shouldn’t even be advertised on the App Store! This is only for Canon cameras!!! YOU ARE LIARS! Not only that there is no possible way to cancel the subscription I was tricked into buying! I will do everything I can to have you removed from the Apple App Store LIARS!!!

I keep coming back to this. The speed, quality of conversions, and ease of use are phenomenal. The only gripe I have is the files need to be save on your iPad. No cloud functionality. I’ll go all in when and if they add cloud storage.

A paid app instead of free like for Windows and Mac. Not only a paid app it doesn’t support my Canon cameras notably: 5D, 40D, M3, and 7D mk2... Disappointed. :( :(

Not good. Not that it’s a paid app it is even worse.. This was already a mediocre photo editor but we could forgive its many flaws while it was free, now that Canon is absurdly expecting to be paid monthly for its use, I deleted it.

great apps for canon shooters. Easy to use and great integration with other Canon apps. Used it for years!

Should be free. This shows how greedy a company can be. We spend thousands of dollars on cameras, lens and accessories and you want to us to pay for software that should be free. Unbelievable

Canon DPP Express + A13 and iOS Photos revamped my workflow. I have yet to find any issues using DPP Express with my SL3 and my iPhone. I usually stick to keeping edits to be as close to natural colors as possible, which makes DPP Express a great asset for me. The interface is much smoother than the desktop software. I also like that DPP Express can display histograms and focus points. The JPEGs that come from DPP are surprisingly easy to touch up further in iOS Photos. The end result is a much faster process to get photos ready for either social media or printing, with results that are much better than smartphone cameras are capable of. Similar results on my desktop could take 3 to 5 times longer. Much of that can be attributed to the efficiency of iOS and the power of the A13 chip.

They hold your images hostage unless you pay them a dollar a month.. Why are they forcing us to pay a dollar a month just to remove water marks

Useless as is. I agree with others here. This app is currently pointless. Aside from the fact that it only accepts CR3 and jpegs, (which is ridiculous) it failed to import 4 jpegs! It complained of insufficient storage. Also ridiculous. This app also does not recognize HEIC files. iPhones have been shooting in HEIC for years now. How is it that Canon who makes such fantastic cameras can allow the release of useless/bad software?! Come on Canon. You can do much better.

Will not download raw from iPhone or iPad.. Disappointing!

No raw burst support. When I bought the subscription I was assuming that raw burst mode would also be supported with the R7 support? When you don't have a download for the Digital photo Professional 4 software for macOS Monterey, this is the only other to option to see the images out of camera for that mode. I had no other reason to download this app than that.

Downloaded, prompted with subscription, deleted.. I’m sure this works fairly well, but not well enough I’m inclined to pay monthly for it.

Nice try. Seriously no CR2 editing?

CANON: PLEASE ADD CR2 SUPPORT. Please stop being stingy. I will eventually upgrade to the newest stuff but just give your old(er) cameras some love.

No support for CR2 format ugh. No support for CR2 format ugh

Came from a T7 to a R. I feel like I’ve been missing out ! Great app .

Waste of Time. Downloaded the app only to find that my Canon EOS 6D was not supported. Someone at Canon has been promoted beyond their ability.

Good results. No area based edits. Good for beginners. Firstly please make this app free, and many people will be loyal for this reason. Raw processing of an image with a phone is a joke in my opinion as if someone shoots raw, they will use proper computer or a tablet for their edits. DPP is good to get colours right in the first place imo, but I assume and experienced that all other proper apps do it better. So either make it better or just don’t worry about it

A clever ploy to buy the latest Canon body. Useless for the majority of Canon owners. I'm prepared to pay an adobe subscription for Lightroom ,edit my photos in Affinity or Photoshop mobile. Use Duet to edit with ON1 I have owned Canon since 1978 with the AT-1 , T90, 20D, 600D & 5DSr. There are too many 3rd party alternatives these days to stay loyal to Canon. SAD

Subscription?! Really?!. I want to see the boardroom meeting where they decided to put a subscription on their mediocre iPad app. I love using my canon cameras because of how easy they are and part of that ease of use is the free software. even though the software is simple and can’t compare with offerings from Adobe, it at least used to be free. Now they want to charge for it every month even after they already charge you for the camera! The worst thing is that I used this app when it was free and now I have to find something else because there’s no way in hell I’ll pay a monthly subscription for something that came free with my camera.

Subscribe, for this junk? No thanks.. As other reviewers confirm, this is a very ordinary ordinary app and Canon should be ashamed to try and get people to pay for it. Read the room buddy.

No CR2 support!. Can’t believe this has launched without support for CR2 files. Don’t waste your time downloading it.

Sorry, spending $10k/year on camera gear isn’t enough?. “Tell ‘em they’re Dreamin’…” I/we/all of us spend vast amounts on Cameras, lenses, flashes and accessories… and some Canon executive twits feel the need to charge for this very limited app? Rack off. I’ll/we’ll just keep paying $1200 per year to Adobe to do it right… Canon, either offer it free, to support your product or scrap it… don’t try charging for a product that is already heavily subsidised by your high profit products.

Paying for this app. Canon you have to be kidding if you think people are going to start paying for this app. There are free apps out there that do more.

Full app free for computers. I have been a Canon user for close on 50 years and ever since their DSLR’s have been out, they have supplied the full version of DPP for computer use free with their cameras. I can’t for the life of me can understand how they can charge for a very much cut down version for phones and tablets. Although I predominantly use Adobe for most of my editing, I find the full version of DPP picks up on more of the camera’s settings and continue to use it on my PC.

Canon rips off its loyal customers. Cannot believe that after spending $$$$ on its cameras it now wants to slug us with a monthly subscription for a mediocre ap. Whoever came up with this “bright” idea has lost my customer loyalty, my next purchase will be anything other than Canon. Either make the app free or don’t provide it at all. Invest in one of the many excellent photo apps and don’t waste your money on this greedy corporation.

Canon Ripping Of Customers. It’s bad enough a popular camera company has never included anything respectable for its customers for photo editing let alone now charging a subscription fee to use the terrible software they do provide! Perhaps Canon might one day reward their loyal camera & lens customers by not only supplying decent software but also including it with their premium camera prices?? Goodbye Canon…

Terrible app. So limited and they make you pay for it. Just use adobe

First Photo 🙏👍👍. Ri

Low quality exports. It’s possible I could be missing something but when I export an image in the original resolution, it compresses the file so the quality of the image is garbage, specifically the og file size is about 40mb in its .CR3 RAW format, the exported photo is 7.6mb

Why Canon?. Why is canon charging a subscription for an app? Should be free for all canon owners!

Works well. One month in.. Using a Canon 6d mark ii and a 2020 iPad Pro 11 with it. I find that the colors processed through this app when processing raw files are absolutely excellent. Better than many if not all third party development software like Luminar etc I tried on my MacBook Pro. Well that shouldn’t surprise you since it’s all the family so to speak. Has everything you need to process your photos to your liking. I usually only transfer a few raw photos at any one time through Wi-Fi and don’t fuss with the SD card much. Transfers are slow through Wi-Fi on their companion app Cameraconnect. Lens corrections with Canon lenses are supported too another plus. Multiple edits can be done independently on any one raw file easily. Not a fan of paying a subscription every month but is affordable enough. ($1.?? In Canada) Does not support raw files from my older Canon 6d which I hope gets fixed in the future as I still really like that old camera. If you have a supported camera and like editing your raw files I think you will like this app. Editing on an iPad works well.

No support for raw files unless you have EOS R or m50. Frustrating

Cr2. Add cr2 please

No CR2?. Since the vast majority of Canon DSLRs produce .CR2 files, why would you even think of producing software that does not support them? This really makes the software useless to 99 percent of Canon shooters......

Paid Subscription???. Im very confused. I’ve corresponded the Canon several times. They INSIST that this is a completely FREE app. No subscription required. They told me “This is not a canon app”. However the link they sent me takes me to this app ?????

Pas au top!!!. Prometteur mais encore incomplet. Difficile d’importer des photos RAW car seulement en Wi-Fi.Les photos Raw déjà sur votre iPad ne sont pas pris en charge alors que d’autres Apps autres que Canon le font facilement ( Lr CC ). Donc les ajustements sur une photo Jpeg sont limités.

Why canon do this?. Why canon makes an application and charges it, it's illogical

Doesn’t make sense. I upload a photo to edit after subscribing and there are no extra features like it leads you to believe the only thing you can do is share and export

Why canon you persist at mediocrity. Archaic linking with 5D mk4 has to open other app and was unable to access the raw cr.2 Will stick to the old workflow of shuttersnitch to Lightroom cc Hope they can use their product on the field to see how it’s not responsive for professional work !! One day hopefully one day canon will respect their customers

Does not work. Tried, no photos alright

Very User Hostile! Extremely Unintuitive!. Don’t bother downloading this app. It cannot access images in the iPad Photos program and it doesn’t sync with Canon Camera Connect, with which you are supposed to download RAW images from your camera. Also, there is absolutely no documentation available from Canon or any other source, so it ends up being an extremely frustrating experience. I hesitate to give it even one star. Canon has a lot to do to fix this program and make it more user friendly. My initial experience with Canon Camera Connect was identical. Only in the second version was it slightly easier to use. Get with the times Canon!

Paywall even though says it's free. For a world class market leader of cameras Canon doesn't seem to understand the importance of designing and supporting apps for its products. The ones I have tried are overly complex to work with seamlessly, and the poor reviews are deserving. This app is advertised as free but isn't. The $1,29 a month isn't a big problem rather the expectations of their dedicated users like me should be. While the app looks what I want in principal I will continue to use alternative apps.

Why did Canon Create this App??. Why, why, why would Canon allow this waste of time and money to create and advertise that the Apps function will let you ‘Adjust RAW images freely’ - then it displays a message that the cr2 images files imported are unsupported. Seriously! iPad Pro and t7i

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Developed by Canon?. What a shame!

NO CR2 RAW FILE SUPPORT. Very disappointed.This app has great potential but most Canon EOS cameras are left out.My new EOS 6D Mark 2 included.Come on Canon, please fix this quickly.Restore confidence of a 50 year Canon user.

Lens corrections for RAW on iPad. Many lenses really need software correction profiles. Like the 24-240 massive vignette correction, or 85mm 1.8 CA issues. This programs auto applies all the corrections. Apple Photos cannot, nor does any other cheap RAW software or editor I tried on my iPad. Sure it’s annoying its subscription based, but it’s a buck. I don’t recall seeing RAW software from the other camera brands at all, much less free. So hard to really complain. At least there’s an option. I think the only other option for lens correction is LIghtroom and that is 10x the cost per month.

Beginner Photographer. Great app so far! Super easy to use. Just watched a view hours of YouTube to figure what things do and this app does magic!

No raw export?. And a subscription?

Monthly Charge.... Bye-bye

Práctico y fácil de usar. Es práctico

CR2 SUPPORT. Ok?????? Really NO CR2 SUPORT‼️‼️

Wow. Why not support cr2 why
