GeoTagr App Reviews

GeoTagr has never let me down, even when other apps have. When tracking absolutely, positively has to work, I use GeoTagr. It’s perfect for photography, as well as tracking hikes and road trips. It estimates remaining battery, uploads tracks to Dropbox, and offers a clock readout for synchronizing my camera.

Works as advertised and their customer support is great.

Awesome! A $5 app that replaces a $200 GPS unit for a DSLR! It takes about 2 minutes to tag a days worth of photos. I shoot RAW, so I love that it creates XML "sidecar" files with the location information and it doesnt modify the RAW files. Then when I import the photos into LightRoom, LightRoom automatically reads the locations and can plot them on its map. Ive seen reviews that complain about the GPS performance, but thats an iPhone limitation and not the fault of the app. Anywhere the iPhones GPS has difficulty (e.g. indoors), the app will too. Like all GPS apps, it uses a lot of battery. You can save battery by setting it to only update every 3, 5, or 10 minutes instead of continuously. I wish there was an interval between continuous and 3 minutes, like 1 minute, which I think would be better for walking.

I love this app and have used it often while traveling (especially internationally). Its great to see it gain support for the Apple Watch too. Pausing a track or adding a location manually without having to pull out my phone while shooting is a great way to make it even more convenient to use. The watch app has large buttons that are easy to tap. It loaded pretty quickly too!

To update my earlier comment: the latest app update which allows option to automatically delete the original photos is a god-sent! Used to have to delete them manually, and going through and selecting some 200+ photos to do this was quite a pain. But no more! Fantastic new feature! ----------- Ever come back from holiday to find that you have to merge photos from different devices from different family members? Now, import them all and geotag them! Very easy to use and does exactly what it says. Dont leave home without it!

This is one of my most valuable apps on the iPad and iPhone. The new update brings the long expected watch app, which looks and works very good. What I would like to see in the next update is a complication and a glance for quick access. Following my overall review for the app: It is great! Simple apple-like design. Very functional as well! You can export a gpx via various ways (email, dropbox...) or you can tag your photos directly if you have a mac. Just make a folder on the desktop, put the pictures inside, include the folder in the os x system preferences sharing tab and then just go to the app and choose the mac shared folder option! It then automatically adds the location data to the photos, after which they are ready to be imported into aperture/lightroom and there they are displayed on the map. You also have an option to tag photos on ipad. Imagine this: you take pics and record your track with your iphone, you import the pics into your ipad with the camera connection kit, then you just start the app on both devices and push the button! It is that simple to add location to your photos! And you pay just 5$ for the app, not 500$ for the canons/nikons gps device... Great e-mail support as well! The developer is very nice, responds quickly and helps every time! If you want a new feature, you can request it!

Klunky interface not optimized for iPhone 6. Why cant I just share a track from Gaia GPS app? Why do I need to use this apps inferior tracking capability? Very limited Dropbox support (why do tracks need to be in only one folder?). Why does app not find photos in my library that have no geotag when I know which these are? Just not worth the bother of all of the restrictions. Ill just wait until I get back to my Mac and keep using PhotoLinker.
