Great for location suggestions.

I use it always when traveling to new places where I have never been. I plan ahead and it saves me a lot of time. Strongly reccomended.

Exceptional

The app is a game changer and the around me feature with the detailed info and easy navigation saves hours of guess work and unnecessary travel.

Well done this really makes exploring new areas easy and stress free and is a huge help with my photography

Awful

Signed up for free trial. Showed me a beautiful photo of a river at sunrise and the location it was taken at. Apparently, it was taken on the middle of a roundabout in Norwich, nowhere near a river!!! And they want to charge you £53 for that.
I’ll just rely on google thanks

Response from developer

Hey dear SuffolkNaturalist, I am sorry about your rare experience. I sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the geo-position of the photo. My app relies on user-generated content shared by almost 150.000 travelers, which is moderated to ensure accuracy and quality, but occasionally, errors can slip through, just as they can on other platforms like Google. Did you report this spot? Then I could have a look at it and take action immediately. With ten thousands of verified spots worldwide and contributions from passionate photographers, the app offers a unique and rich collection of photo spots that you won’t find elsewhere. As a solo developer I am continuously improving the platform, and I would love for you to explore the true potential of what the app can offer. Please write me a short email to contact@locationscout.net so that I can enable a free extended trial for you. All the best to you and sorry again for your unlucky experience. With over 221.000 entries, I am very sorry you found a spot that definitely doesn't meet my expectations to the content quality. Thank you for your understanding and for giving me the opportunity to improve. Manuel

Very helpful planning tool that save time researching photo spots

The app is easy and straightforward to use. I like that it can be a timesaver for photographers that may otherwise go to Google Earth, for example to search random photos to see what other geo tagged locations they would like to shoot. I like too that can save time in determining sunrise and sunset angles as opposed to using, for example, an app like PhotoPills. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is that I haven’t used it for very long, mostly so far just for planning an upcoming trip.

Fabulous

No need to buy a book, or research for hours and miss out on some great photos on a weekend trip. I was in the airport and reading the news on my phone in the travel section I came across an article about New Zealand. The author said he found all of his location for his photos from this app. So I downloaded it and found some places I didn’t know about on my weekend trip. I have shown my pictures and everyone wants to know where they are and how I found them.
I’m not a professional photographer and I travels a lot on business and always take my camera with me. Now I’m adding an extra day just to go spend the day shoot all these places I never would have found. It’s so easy to use every time I get in the car I open it up to see if there is anything I haven’t seen before or should go and shoot.

Thank you so much for your kind words and your awesome rating and how you found my app. Stories like these make all the difference and I highly appreciate it. Sorry though for the extra day you now need on your trips to explore all these beautiful places... ;-) All the best to you and safe travels, Manuel

Really great!

I’ve been a photographer for many years but I rarely got the chance to travel. When I finally planned a photo trip to Europe, I needed a way to find to best spots near me without wasting tons of valuable time trying to find them for myself. This app was exactly what I needed. It gives you examples of the views and each spot and some examples of the photos that are possible from there. It includes directions as well as advice on parking, and little helpful specific trips like “make sure to bring bug spray” or “sunscreen.” I’ve been using it regularly since that trip and I hope to continue. Thank you for making this and to everyone who contributes!

This has good information when looking at researching new places to go. The support is great. I have contacted support a couple of times and got a very quick response. Love the app.

SO USEFUL!

As a landscape photographer this App has become a vital part of my research when planning trips. There are so many spots I’ve never seen before on here.

It’s such a great community of like-minded photographers and travellers who want to help each other experience the world around them.

So pleased I came across it!
