I wan to say first this app has been very handy along with helping me organize my project photos.Now I want to get into why I’m writing this review cause I don’t review or it takes a lot for me to write a review. The customer service is very helpful and fast with helping solve problems. The problem I was having was due to my phone case having a magnetic case. I noticed that sometimes the directions wasn’t working correctly so I sent off an email. John Civijovski replied promptly asking me to check a few things. I emailed him back explaining that I had checked those items. This problem was then followed up with a phone call from him to help solve the issue which resolved my problem from using a rokform case that has a magnetic hook. I will be recommending this app to all in my field if they want to have an app like this.
Awesome app!

I love this app! I’ve used it for documenting damage assessments for Team Rubicon RECON Team, my county/state initial damage assessment process, FEMA Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA), my own insurance damage documentation, and when conducting mitigation project assessments. Great documentation tool for easily sharing info with others electronically. The settings allow me to show my location and bearing towards the target directly on the photo. Very helpful when showing others. My biggest gripe is that it defaults to taking two pictures. One of which ends up in my photos folder and it is a pain to get rid of them. It would be very helpful to have a way in settings to only take/store one photo.
Does what I need, but creates a redundant work flow.

I use this app for field cataloging, and it’s straightforward and does exactly what I need. It extracts metadata from photos and displays it as a useful overlay. Battery drain is a bit higher than using the normal camera, but it’s manageable.My biggest issue is that every photo is saved twice—once in the app and once in the Photos app—with no option to disable the duplicate storage. Deleting these photos is also unnecessarily complicated. You have to take a new photo just to access the in-app gallery, delete the photo, then go to the “Recover Photos” section to permanently remove it. It’s a confusing workflow that doesn’t make sense.Please add an option to save photos in only one location and simplify the deletion process. It would save storage space and make the app much more user-friendly.
Fantastic App!!

I have used this app for years to take pictures for ecological volunteering and other projects. It is wonderful for documenting conditions in the field with geographical coordinate data overlayed on the image. I use it for downed trees and other environmental conditions to report. The app has been consistently good for all these years and I have never had an issue. Also, all the functions work offline which is excellent. I highly recommend this app!
