Saw this mark on a photo?

That photo was taken with Flowshot, a camera app for iPhone and iPad. It's set up like a pro's camera, so anyone can take sharp photos and steady video of fast action.

You get one chance. Nothing should get in your way.

From the stands, the pool deck or the bottom of the slope, the action is far away and over in seconds. That's the worst time to pinch to zoom, hunt for hidden controls, or have a stray tap throw off your shot.

Flowshot is already set up for fast action, and only the controls you need are on screen. With nothing to adjust, your attention stays on getting the shot.

Frame up the perfect photo with one smooth swipe of your thumb. Switch to burst mode for ten sharp frames a second, and the moment you wanted is in there. Or go to video and keep zooming while you record, steady all the way in.

Get closer in one smooth swipe

One smooth thumb swipe covers your iPhone's whole zoom range, from widest to closest: up to 40× on iPhone 17 Pro.

Watch the shot, not the controls

Zoom from widest to closest in one smooth thumb swipe, even while recording, so you can compose the best possible shot.

Questions people ask

How do I remove the watermark?

In Flowshot, tap the gear, then Remove the watermark. It's one purchase, with no subscription. More about removing the watermark.

Does buying remove the watermark from photos I've already taken?

No. The purchase turns the watermark off for everything you shoot afterwards. Anything you shot before it still has the watermark.

How do bursts work?

Burst is its own mode, next to single photos. Switch to it, then hold the shutter and Flowshot takes ten sharp frames a second for as long as you hold, or double-tap for a full set. You can keep zooming the whole time. Each frame is saved as its own full photo, so you can pick the best one later in the Photos app.

Where do my photos and videos go?

Straight into your photo library, at full quality. Flowshot has no gallery of its own, so there's nothing to sort or export. Crop, edit and share from the Photos app as you always do.

Do I need to know anything about camera settings?

No. Flowshot is already set up for fast action, so there's nothing to adjust. You zoom, and you shoot.

Does it have a flash or a selfie camera?

No. They'd be more controls to get in the way while things are happening fast, so Flowshot leaves them out. For selfies and flash photos, use the Camera app.

Can I use it left-handed?

Yes. Hold your iPhone with the volume buttons up and the controls flip to suit your left hand. There's nothing to set up.

Which iPhones and iPads does it work on?

iPhone 11 or later, iPhone SE (2nd generation) or later, and any iPad that runs iPadOS 26.

Be ready when the moment comes.
