Comments on Magic Canon ViewFinder for Android

★★★★★ Wanoni Julius · Sep 24, 2024
Wowa it's very nice and easy to use it. So try to use. You will see what we cal magic it's true magic ✨
★★★★★ Robert Durma · Oct 12, 2024
Very nice app. I entered my camera sensor size, and the view I see at any final length matches very close to what I get on the camera. I use the app to quickly preview a potential shot and to determine depth of field. To get DOF, you just put in focal length, f-stop, and focus point, and it shows the DOF. Works great!
★★★★☆ Cheyenne Downing · Oct 29, 2022
Works well but doesn't really give you lens choices for less than 24 mm and there's only a certain amount of cameras you can use but still a really nice app
★☆☆☆☆ David Chesworth · Aug 25, 2024
Worst app I've used people who say this helps must be idiots as this is useless
★☆☆☆☆ Andres Arosemena · Aug 29, 2025
The app won't save the photos. Today I installed and took almost 10 photos with varying focal lengths to use for a storyboard of a project, and then I found that the photos are nowhere to be found. I did several tests and the photos don't get save anywhere. When I take a photo a message appears that says "processing" and it never ends. I try to take more photos but the same happens.
