Install PicPic Share on Your iPad
PicPic Share is the upgraded version of the iPad Sharing Station, featuring the latest tools for an enhanced user experience. To ensure optimal performance, always use the latest version of the app.
To install PicPic Share on your iPad, click here or search for "PicPic Share" in the iOS App Store.
Connect PicPic Share to your Hotspot
Before launching PicPic Share, ensure that your Sharing Station is connected to the same network as the Launcher. Both your photo booth computer and iPad must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Why is a Reliable Connection Important?
PicPic Share uses the local network to provide a direct and dependable connection, even with suboptimal internet speeds.Avoid Venue Wi-Fi
Always use your personal hotspot instead of the venue’s Wi-Fi. Venue networks may have firewalls that block direct connections between devices, preventing PicPic Share from syncing with the Launcher.If using the venue Wi-Fi is unavoidable, consider switching to the Virtual Sharing Station for better reliability.

Set Up Your Hotspot
Use a personal 5 GHz hotspot for the best performance. Most hotspots are configured in “dual-band mode,” so you’ll need to manually set it to 5 GHz.You can purchase a 5 GHz hotspot from your cellular provider. For advanced features, consider a dedicated router like the Beryl AX from GL.iNet in addition to your dedicated hotspot.
If you don’t have a dedicated hotspot, you can use Connectify as an alternative to connect your iPad to your computer. For detailed setup instructions, click Here.
