Help with PhotoSpots.

Your spots, lists, notes, and attached photos are stored on your device. If iCloud sync is enabled, they also sync privately through your iCloud account using Apple CloudKit. This data is yours alone—the developer does not have access to your private iCloud data.

No. PhotoSpots does not sell location data, does not use third-party analytics SDKs, and does not track you across apps or websites.

Create lists for trips, projects, subjects, or neighborhoods using colors and emojis. You can also use tags, priority, scouted status, photographed status, and archive state to keep your library tidy. Filter by any of these to find exactly what you need.

The solar compass shows precise sunrise, sunset, golden hour, and blue hour times for any location. You can visualize the sun's path on an interactive map, scrub through time, and preview exactly when the light will be perfect for your shoot.

Yes. Open the reference camera from any saved spot to preview real-world framing with your gear. Simulate different focal lengths, switch aspect ratios, use composition grids, and capture reference photos with full metadata including camera, lens, crop, time, and location.

Use the home screen widget to pin a location in seconds without opening the app. You can update the spot's details and photos later when you have more time.

Yes. Send any location directly from the app with its name, coordinates, and an Apple Maps link. You can also use the Apple Maps link to navigate directly to the spot when you're ready to shoot.

Yes. PhotoSpots supports CSV and GPX import and export formats, so you can back up your location library, move data between devices, or integrate with other tools.

Premium unlocks alternate app icons, custom background themes for lists and library, and global themes for a personalized workspace. You can also support development through optional tips.

iCloud sync is currently available on iPhone. iPad and Mac versions are not yet available, but your iPhone data will be ready to sync when those apps launch.

Location permission shows your current position on the map, calculates distances to saved spots, and enables location-based features like the home screen widget. Your live location is never sold, shared, or used for analytics.

PhotoSpots accesses your photo library only when you choose to attach reference photos to a spot. Attached photos are stored locally and, if iCloud sync is enabled, in your private iCloud data—never on external servers.
