"As a landscape photographer, carrying a laptop on long hikes is a burden. Canon DPP Express allows me to process my CR3 files directly on my iPad Pro with incredible precision. The color science is exactly what I expect from Canon, and the HDR PQ support makes my shots pop on XDR displays."

Summary

Most users express significant dissatisfaction with the app, primarily due to its mandatory subscription model for a raw converter, which many feel is egregious given the high cost of Canon cameras and the desktop version being free. Users frequently criticize the app for its limited functionality compared to the PC version, including lack of DLO support, missing filters, and an inability to undo changes. There are also widespread complaints about poor camera compatibility, with many popular older models like the 5D Mark II/III, 7D Mark II, M6, 77D, and 1200D not being supported, alongside frustrating import/export processes for RAW and HEIF files, and a lack of proper photo management features like search and sort. Despite these significant drawbacks, a few users did find the app's editing capabilities for exposure, color, and focus to be effective and time-saving, and some praised its ease of use.
