Other Platforms

The information provided is specific to the iOS CamRanger 2 app. The Android CamRanger 2 app has most, but not all of these features. The macOS and Windows applications have very few sharing features built in to the application. However, because images are being saved to a normal filesystem, existing third party applications can easily be used to share and transfer images.
