Hand back a photo they'll love.

Someone hands you their phone. PicTrainer teaches you to take a photo they'll be proud to post, in short lessons with your own iPhone.

How it teaches

You learn by moving your phone.

Every lesson shows the problem, then the fix on the same view, then you try it with your own camera.

Lesson 2.1

Tilt, and the walls stand up

Tip the phone back and the room leans. Feel for the click, and the lines go green.

Lesson 3.1

Step back, zoom in

They stay the same size. What’s behind them grows, and faces stop stretching.

Lesson 1.1

Find the light

Turn them toward the window, not away from it. One step changes the whole face.

Questions

Is it really free?
Yes. Your course, its final practical and its certificate are free, with no ads and no trial. Packs go deeper on one subject, if you ever want them.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the app and start. Your progress stays on your phone and, if you use iCloud, in your own iCloud account, so it follows you to a new phone or your iPad. We never see it. Nothing is shared unless you join a team, and then only your first name, the lessons you finish for work and your final practical.
Does it work on Android?
The app is for iPhone, with iOS 26 or later. What you learn works on any phone, including an Android someone hands you.
What do packs add?
More depth on one subject: advanced composition, photos for two, sharp or soft, portraits, groups and celebrations, outdoors and travel, night and tricky light, and camera skills. $4.99 each, or $19.99 for Lifetime access: every pack, including packs added later. Packs are shared with your family through Family Sharing.
