Turn your iPhone or iPad into a tether for your camera. CloudTether connects over a USB cable or Wi-Fi, catches every shot the moment you take it, and sends the full-resolution file where it needs to go in seconds — your cloud services, or just this phone. No laptop, no card reader, no desktop tethering software. CHOOSE WHERE SHOTS GO When a camera connects, choose where its shots go: to your services (Dropbox, Drive, ShootProof and more) or to this phone only. Each camera remembers its destinations, so next time it's one tap. Shoot first, decide later: anything taken before you choose waits in Not sent yet, ready to send anytime. SEND ONLY YOUR PICKS Rate shots on the camera and only the ones with enough stars are sent: choose 1 to 5 stars for each shoot. Unrated shots stay on the card. Available for Canon and Nikon cameras. EVERY SHOOT, ACCOUNTED FOR • History lists each shoot as a receipt: when, how many photos, where they went, and thumbnails you can tap for a sharp, zoomable preview. • Not sent yet shows exactly which shots have no copy outside the app. • Shoots sync to every device and the web dashboard. • CloudTether relays each shot to your services; it isn't long-term storage. Originals are kept for 14 days after delivery, and History keeps previews. DELIVER ANYWHERE Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Photos, OneDrive, Box, ShootProof, SmugMug, Photohawk, Flickr, Adobe Lightroom, Frame.io, Slack, Amazon S3, WebDAV, FTP/SFTP and more. Never locked to a proprietary cloud. YOUR OWN SERVER Send shots straight to your FTP or SFTP server, into a new subfolder for each shoot or the exact folder you choose. Once a shot reaches CloudTether, our servers send it on, so your phone doesn't have to stay online for that. MULTIPLE CAMERAS AT ONCE Tether several cameras over USB, Wi-Fi or a mix — each sending to its own destinations. Home shows a live shoot panel, and every camera gets its own Live Activity on the Lock Screen showing where its shots are going and how many are captured, sending and delivered. CONNECT ALMOST ANY CAMERA Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, GoPro and many more, over USB or Wi-Fi. Pick your brand, choose your model, and follow the guided setup. BUILT FOR REAL SHOOTS • Full-resolution RAW + JPEG, exactly as the camera recorded them. • Works over Wi-Fi or mobile data; missed uploads catch up automatically when you're back online. • Keep copies of on-phone shots in your Photos library or a folder (including a USB drive or SD reader) as they arrive. • Geotag each photo with your phone's location, matched to the moment you pressed the shutter. KNOW WHERE EVERY PHOTO IS Every shot shows whether it's sending or delivered, and to which service. Anything that needs attention is grouped with a one-tap fix. Open the delivered folder in Dropbox, Drive, OneDrive or Box, or browse your FTP/SFTP folder in the app. ONE SIMPLE PLAN CloudTether is a single subscription — everything included — and starts with a free trial. — CloudTether is an auto-renewing subscription. • Free trial: 7 days, then $7.99/month (prices may vary by region and are shown in the app before you subscribe). • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. • The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Locaflash at none against CloudTether's 1. Locaflash also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). CloudTether's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
