Geotag Photos Pro 2 4+

Generally ok but problems with time zone changes

Used this for two week road trip in the USA. Works well almost all of the time but gets itself in a mess when the phone changes time zones. If you are near a time zone line the phone, in a fixed location, can change time zones quite often depending upon which cell it picks up from. This causes the time stamp to differ from the camera time by an hour. The result is a day long track file containing many parts which you then have to manually align to camera time afterwards using the desktop app. This is very painful when thousands of photos are involved. Would be far better if the app asked to confirm time change and so it would allow the user to keep the phone and camera time synchronised.

Works Perfectly

I use this App in conjunction with my DJI Pocket camera, which doesn’t have GPS capabilities. It is simple and reliable to use. The App runs on my iPhone during the day and it collects GPS data in the background - I use the default setting of every two minutes, but the interval can be more or less. My experience is that there is little drain on the battery. At the end of the session, I upload the created GPX file to the developer’s server for subsequent use when my media from the Pocket has been moved across to my iPhone. I then use the companion App (GeoTag Photos Tagger) to pull down the GPX file to merge with the photos/videos. This combination has removed a major frustration of not being able to easily identify geographic locations. A perfect solution!

Developer Response ,

Hi, Robbie, thank you so much for such an amazing review! 😊 We're happy to hear that you enjoy our app and that it's been helpful. Thank you! ❤️

Love this app.

Been using it for over two years now and there are still times I leave the house with a camera and forget to start the app, (my bad!).

Improvement requests:
If there was an improvement to be made it would be that when you pressed ‘Start’ the log starts with the current date and time and not the title that was last used. Failing that and better still that once you press start a window opens asking for the logs title, that would be the icing on the cake!
