It simply works

I’ve been using it flawlessly, for almost two years.

I needed a solution to geotag my photos, after being frustrated with the pairing drops with my camera’s app.

Geotag Photos app uploads the tracks automatically to my defined iCloud and Dropbox. I then copy the .gpx file to my Mac and use Adobe Lightroom to geotag my photos in the Maps module.

Response from developer

Hello! We sincerely appreciate your positive feedback on our application. It's wonderful to hear that Geotag Photos Pro 2 has been seamlessly helping you geotag your photos for almost two years. Thank you for choosing us! 😊

Great app but wish for in-phone batch tagging

Have used this for a few years now and really can’t fault it. Normally I use the iPad to tag the locations but have recently found myself loading images direct from my SLR into my phone. To be able to geotag those images in the phone would be a killer feature. Can’t always have laptop or iPad with me. Great work though - a rare decent app!

Worth the money

So so so much more worth it than paying money on a GPS attachment you have to lug around. You can record on your phone, open the program on your computer, and just apply it to the folder of photos and everything will be geotagged based on what time it was taken. You can even shift the time if your DSLR time was set wrong. I really love the way trip naming is set up because there will be auto suggestions for the date and location so you don’t have to manually type it, you can just click the buttons that pop up and start logging. How much battery it takes up really depends on how your phone can handle running location tracking in the background, and for me it’s not really a big problem.

Love this app. It’s perfect.

Love this. I use it for every trip. Makes it super easy. Upload to cloud service for later tagging in Lightroom. What a fantasically simple and elegant app. Thank you for keeping it updated and running well.

Wrong location tagged

I have used this app for years and had found it very useful for tagging photos taken by my DSLR. It has started tagging the wrong location, by as much as ¼ mile. A photo I took yesterday was off by 875 feet based on the Google Earth location. When I have contacted the developer, the response has been the app is not a moneymaker for them and they are not interested in doing much to make it better. I am now looking for another app to do this.

Perfect

Does exactly what it claims to do. Nice feature with Apple Watch as well to make points. I notice no battery issue when running for 3-4 hours at a time.

Pop the GPX file into Lightroom and everything geotagged.

Does the job

Simple to use, does what I want it to do perfectly.

Hi, thank you for your nice review! We are happy that our app meets your requirements. 😊

One of my favourite app

Simple app that only does one thing, and does it brilliantly. I’ve been using it for 8 years now and have tagged tens of thousands of photographs without any issues.

App has lagged behind Watch Ultra features

I use this app heavily, but have been disappointed to find that the watch app can’t record unless my phone is nearby. The ability to run fully on my Ultra, without phone tethering, would be excellent.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your review. Currently, we do not plan to implement this, however, we have noted your suggestion and will consider it. Feel free to contact us at helpme@tappytaps.com if you have any questions or other suggestions. 🙂

This App Used to Work Well

I’ve had this app for years and it worked perfectly. Earlier in the year, I started having problems where exported tracklogs no longer contained data; they were blank. Now in order to export tracklogs, I have to sync to Geotag’s website, log onto my computer and download them. Additionally, I’ve had issues with the time stamps being incorrect on the tracklogs so photos are tagged in the wrong location.

I’m using the same camera and do post processing in Lightroom.

I’ve reached out to Geotag’s tech support and they’ve been very helpful in showing workarounds, but ultimately I just want the app I paid for to work.
