Canon Connect locks up with Android 7.0

I have been using Camera connect on a Samsung Galaxy note 3 for a long while. No problems. I just got a new Android and installed Camera Connect. The install does not show the Canon sx60hs. I used the PowerShot option as the only choice that would install. The app starts but locks up after the images load. Sometimes even before the images load.

As is Nougat OS:

But selecting another camera in the hopes that the app will fuction is not recommended. Did you grab the app directly from the play store?

Google Play_Canon Connect

Yes. I installed directly from the play store. When I start the app on the phone it brings up the easy connection guide and says "camera not connected". But the camera is connected to the Wi-Fi and so is the phone. I start the easy connection guide and go through all the steps until it gets to "viability settings". It says to operate the camera. But the camera is still searching for the app. If I operate it it just starts over.

Greetings,

Above you state, "But the camera is connected to the Wi-Fi and so is the phone.". The camera connects to your phone via its Wi-Fi. You do not connect the devices to the same network, but instead to each other. Does this make sense?
