Turn your iPhone or iPad into a wireless tether. CloudTether connects to your camera over a USB cable or the camera's Wi-Fi, catches every shot the moment you take it, downloads the full-resolution file, and delivers it straight to the cloud — no laptop, no card reader, no desktop tethering software. Shoot, and seconds later your photos are in the cloud, your client gallery, or saved right to your phone. Clients, editors and your team see the work as it happens. WHY PHOTOGRAPHERS USE CLOUDTETHER • Every frame, full resolution — RAW and JPEG, exactly as the camera recorded it. • Live as you shoot — captures upload automatically in the background. • No laptop — your phone is the uplink, so you're free to move. • Works anywhere — over your phone's mobile data, even in a dead-spot venue. CONNECT ALMOST ANY CAMERA Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm bodies — and many more — over USB or Wi-Fi. Pick your brand, choose your model, and follow the guided setup. YOUR DESTINATIONS, YOUR CHOICE Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Photos, OneDrive, Box, ShootProof, SmugMug, Photohawk, Flickr, Adobe Lightroom, Frame.io, Slack, Amazon S3, WebDAV, FTP/SFTP and more — or save originals straight to your phone in local mode. Never locked to a proprietary cloud. BUILT FOR REAL SHOOTS • Tether multiple cameras in one session. • Full-resolution RAW + JPEG, grouped together. • A live session gallery you can hand a client on the spot. • Reliable background uploads that resume if the connection drops. ONE SIMPLE PLAN CloudTether is a single subscription — everything included — and starts with a free trial. SHOOT TOGETHER AS A TEAM Invite a second shooter or your whole crew to a session and everyone's photos land in one place. An optional live team map shows where each shooter is in real time, so you can coordinate coverage and jump straight to a teammate's shots. Sharing your location is always opt-in. GEOTAG AS YOU SHOOT Turn on geotagging and CloudTether records a GPS track during the session, tagging every photo with where it was taken — even shots fired while your phone is locked or mounted to the hot shoe. — 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.

New camera. Hundreds of settings. Better Pics turns them into a simple plan for the picture in front of you. START WITH SHOT COACH Tell Better Pics what you are photographing, which lens is mounted, the light, the movement and the result you want. You will get a clear starting setup for exposure mode, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, autofocus, drive mode, stabilization and useful camera options—plus a plain-English reason for every choice and a rescue plan if the first frame is not right. REVIEW THE SHOT Choose a photo and Better Pics reads the available EXIF and TIFF metadata, then privately analyzes the rendered image on your iPhone. It checks tonal range, bright and dark areas, visible edge definition, faces and subject placement, and combines those observations with the recorded shutter speed, aperture, ISO, focal length, lens and camera. Every review separates facts from suggestions. If the file does not contain a setting, Better Pics says so instead of guessing. BUILD YOUR KIT Choose camera bodies and compatible lenses from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, OM System and Panasonic. Search the offline catalog by maker or model, save the kit you actually own and switch the active setup before a shoot. LEARN WITHOUT THE JARGON Search practical how-to guides for first setup, exposure, focus, blur, color and common subjects. The Canon EOS R6 Mark III remains the first fully verified model-specific field guide; other bodies receive honest universal or brand-level directions while their exact guides are developed. MADE FOR THE NEXT FRAME Better Pics is coaching, not scoring. It helps you understand what happened and gives you one or two useful changes to try while the subject and light are still in front of you. FREE CORE. ONE-TIME PRO. The complete core coach, one camera, three lenses, unlimited photo imports and the most useful review recommendation are free. Better Pics Pro is one lifetime purchase—no subscription—and adds unlimited kit, complete reviews, plan comparison and deeper camera-specific guidance. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Photo analysis happens on your device. Better Pics has no account, advertising, tracking or analytics SDK. Imported originals are not uploaded or retained by the app, and saved review summaries stay on your iPhone. Better Pics is independent guidance and is not endorsed by any camera manufacturer. Manufacturer and product names belong to their respective owners. Camera recipes are starting points; always check the result and the current camera manual.
