Summary

The Capture One mobile app receives mixed to largely negative feedback. While users appreciate its tethering capabilities for on-location shoots and its integration with a desktop workflow, many criticize its poor performance, frequent disconnections with specific cameras (e.g., Sony a7IV, Canon R5II/R6II, GFX Fuji), and stability issues like crashes reported for version 3.0.2 on iPad Pro. The app is also seen as overpriced given its limited feature set compared to the desktop version and competitors, leading to a generally unsatisfactory user experience. Specific bugs with the Apple Pencil also contribute to user frustration.
