Installing FMX on iPad

Updated Yesterday · 1 min readBeginner

Requirements Before You Start

  • iPad running iPadOS 16 or later (iPadOS 17+ recommended)
  • Apple ID with access to the App Store
  • Active Foto Master Cloud account with an iPad license
  • At least 2GB of free storage on the iPad
  • Strong Wi-Fi connection during the first sync

Step 1 — Download from the App Store

  1. On the iPad, open the App Store.
  2. Search for "FMX by Foto Master" or "Foto Master FMX".
  3. Tap Get and authenticate with your Apple ID if prompted.
  4. Wait for the download to complete. FMX will appear on your home screen.

Step 2 — First Launch

  1. Open FMX from the home screen.
  2. On the sign-in screen, enter your Foto Master Cloud email and password.
  3. Tap Sign In. FMX validates your account and activates your license automatically.
  4. If you see "License not found," verify your iPad license is active at cloud.fotomaster.com → Account → Licenses.

Step 3 — Initial Setup

  1. Grant FMX permission to access the camera when prompted — this is required for the photo capture workflow.
  2. Grant FMX access to the microphone if your workflow uses voice-triggered capture.
  3. Grant notifications if you want event alerts.

Tip: After installing, from time to time update to the latest FMX version. Go to App Store → Search FMX → Update if available. Always update before events, not during.

Step 4 — Verify with a Test Event

Before your first event, load any event from your Cloud account (even a test event) and run a full test session to confirm the camera, sharing, and any connected printer are working. See FMX for iPad: Getting Started for the full onboarding flow.
