FAQ
Does Cloud Point work offline?
Unfortunately no, an internet connection is required to identify & view others' photos. However, don't let that stop you from taking pictures for later identification!
If I upload an image, will everyone else see it?
It is your choice! You can choose to share your capture with the world or keep it private.
Which devices are supported?
Cloud Point runs on iPhone and iPad running recent versions of iOS/iPadOS. Check the App Store listing for specifics.
How do you handle my data?
We keep things simple and transparent. Read the Privacy Policy for details.
Is it free?
Everyone gets access to upload images to the platform, however this is capped for free users (running the servers costs money!). To support the app, you can subscribe monthly or yearly for unlimited uploads.
