Requirements

iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later.

PostureScreen® requires iPadOS 26 or later on iPad, or iOS 26 or later on iPhone. Before you buy, check that the model is on Apple’s compatibility list.

Computer vision and Augmented Reality assisted assessments also need an Unlimited Assessment Subscription.

Which iPad

Buy the most capable iPad you can reasonably afford.

Technology moves quickly, and Apple supports higher-end devices longer than entry-level models. More advanced hardware, such as newer iPad Air or iPad Pro models, pays you back in three ways.

  • Updates for longer

    Higher-end iPads receive iPadOS updates for a longer period, so PostureScreen® keeps running on the latest versions.

  • Better performance

    More capable hardware performs better with newer versions of iPadOS.

  • A longer working life

    A stronger device gives your practice a longer usable lifespan before it needs replacing.

Bottom line: for longevity and performance, avoid the lowest-tier, refurbished or oldest new model available.

Storage

How much storage do you need?

It depends on how you plan to use PostureScreen®.

  • PostureScreen® posture exams only

    Even a base model device stores thousands of posture exams, so a lower storage option can be enough.

  • Movement screens, video and high-volume images

    Advanced features such as movement screens, video recordings and high-volume image capture consume storage quickly.

Our recommendation: if your budget allows, choose a larger storage capacity to avoid limits over time.

Cloud Services

Cloud backup supplements storage. It doesn’t replace it.

Can you buy a smaller device and lean on the cloud instead? Partly. PostureScreen® Cloud Services back your data up, so you can free space on the device and bring clients back when you need them.

  • Backed up to the cloud. Data is backed up, not synced in real time.
  • Free up space by deleting clients locally once they are backed up.
  • Re-download later whenever you need a client again.
  • Share across your devices: client files are shared between your iPads and iPhones, and Cloud Services unlock RemoteScreen, for remote assessments that come to you first to verify; clients never see results in RemoteScreen.

Multiple devices

One subscription. Up to 10 devices.

One PostureScreen® subscription works on up to 10 iPads and iPhones, at no additional cost, as long as every device uses the same Apple ID.

  • The same Apple ID everywhere. Every installation must have been purchased with the Apple ID that bought PostureScreen® and the Unlimited Assessment Subscription.
  • Switching later doesn’t carry it over. Apple does not recognize the subscription under a different Apple ID, and Family Sharing does not share it.
  • More than 10 devices? Use an additional Apple ID with another subscription, or move to PostureScreen® Enterprise.

PostureScreen® Enterprise Identify your Apple account

Use a dedicated Apple ID for your business

We strongly recommend creating an Apple ID for the practice instead of using a personal one.

  • Separate accountingKeeps business purchases and billing apart from personal ones.
  • PrivacyKeeps staff out of your personal data, such as photos and messages.
  • Cleaner managementSimplifies device and subscription management across your organization.

    Use a business Apple ID

    Set up a dedicated Apple ID for your business.

What iPad should I buy for PostureScreen®?

The most capable iPad you can reasonably afford. Newer iPad Air or iPad Pro models receive updates for longer, perform better with newer versions of iPadOS and give your practice a longer usable lifespan. Avoid the lowest-tier, refurbished or oldest new model available.

What iOS or iPadOS version is required?

PostureScreen® requires iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later. Apple lists the compatible iPad models and iPhone models.

How much storage do I need?

For posture exams alone, even a base model stores thousands of exams. Movement screens, video recordings and high-volume image capture consume storage quickly, so choose a larger capacity if your budget allows.

Can I use cloud storage instead of buying a larger device?

Partly. Cloud Services back your data up to the cloud (it is not real-time syncing), so you can delete clients locally to free space and re-download them later. Use the cloud as a supplement to adequate device storage, not a replacement.

Does one subscription work on multiple devices?

Yes. One subscription supports up to 10 iPads and iPhones under the same Apple ID. Every device must use that same Apple account; Family Sharing does not share the subscription.

What if I need more than 10 devices?

Use an additional Apple ID with another subscription, or consider PostureScreen® Enterprise, which is billed per login.

Should I use my personal Apple ID for my business?

No. We strongly recommend a dedicated Apple ID for your business: it keeps accounting and billing separate, keeps staff out of your personal data, and keeps device and subscription management clean across your organization.

Is my Cloud Services login tied to my Apple ID?

No. Your Apple ID buys and installs the app and its upgrades; your PostureCo™ cloud login controls access to your client records, and you can create more cloud logins as you need them. PostureCo™ Cloud in the browser (coming soon with the Diamond plan) will have up to 10 seats: people signed in at the same time.
