ShowMe Help
Read full descriptionHide full description
ShowMe Help is for when a family member or friend needs a hand with their iPhone or anything nearby that they can point their camera at. The person who needs help taps "I need help" and shares a short code with their helper. They then pick Camera or This phone (which shares their screen). The person who taps I’m helping types the short code, it connects the devices, then the helper is able to draw arrows and circles on what they see. These visual cues show up on the first device so they know what to do.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShowMe Help at none against TopInfrared's 1. TopInfrared's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
