## What is Spot?

Spot is a simple way to capture and share the most interesting places in the world. With Spot you turn your favorite photos into a beautiful journal of the places you love, then share them with anyone or everyone.  

Spot uses the location information found in your photos to automatically create the spots in your journal and build a map of where you shot each photo. 

Share a list of your spots by making a spotcast—an interactive map and photo album. You can share your spotcasts privately, or with everyone. Post them to Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media.  Discover great new spots by following other people’s spotcasts. 

Explore the best spots around you wherever you land. Because Spot knows where you are it can show you nearby places. You can search and filter what’s around you, and even get notifications when you are close to a spot you really wanted to check out. 

Spot is great for:

• Urban explorers mapping out the best places in their city—just by taking pictures
• Curated lists of great coffee, food, art, nature or architecture, with rich photographic detail
• Creating a travel journal to share with friends and family that lets them follow along as if they were there
• Location scouting for photographers and famous movie producers

Built for iOS

Spotcast directly to a friend using AirDrop!
Spot uses iCloud to publish Spotcasts for friends or anyone to enjoy, so you don’t need a separate login

Spot: Find Yours.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. If you give permission, Spot uses your location when you create a new spot, and to notify you when you pass near a spot you want to remember.

Spot respects your privacy. It never shares your location information unless you tell it to.
