Great! Glad it worked for you.

I used to use DSLR controller tethered with a cable often before and it worked fairly well. I believe it also lets you transfer RAW files, but it's slow, as expected.

I don't use it as much now that all of my bodies have wifi but I do remember testing the wireless tethering and it seemed pretty reliable. There was also a time when the Canon App gave me trouble after updating it and I just ended up using DSLR Controller with the built-in wifi of the camera.

All in all, it's a good app and the fine adjustments with manual focus might also be a good bonus for landscapes and astro.
