Rewind: History on a map
Old photos then & now in color
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Rewind is an iOS app for exploring retro photos and paintings on a map.

Old photos, now in color. Pick a model, download it once, and Rewind colorizes any black-and-white photo right on your iPhone in a few seconds — free, no account, nothing leaves your device.
Also in this update:
• iPad: the app rotates, and comparison with the camera and Street View works there
• On a wide screen the comparison controls sit beside the photo instead of under it
• Photos without a location open from links in descriptions
• Fixed full-size photos that opened sideways
