  • Fantastic!

    I’ve been looking for an app like this for a long time. Sadly, too many are either too simple or far to complicated and have terrible photo overlay graphics.

    That is, until Solocator! What a great app, everything you need and nothing you don’t. So easy to use as well, and they even thought of things that I didn’t know I needed.

    Oh and the price, even with the Industry Pack, total steal!

    Very well done, thank you!!

  • iPhone 12 Optimisation

    Needs to be updated to latest screen dimensions of various iPhone 12 sizes, especially the smallest one.
  • Cool app

    Hi guys, please could you add X (Easting ), Y (Northing). To the coordinate format. This would be extremely useful option for location.
  • Agreed - Near perfect

    This app is awesome. After working through the settings it’s so easy to export or share. Easy to describe each photo on the fly. So many great choices for how you want to stamp these photos and send them off! Thanks!
  • Greatest App for field work

    Enviro’s, Geologists, Prospectors and Fieldies gather here!
    I stumbled upon this app when a colleague was using it about 4 years ago. It’s worth every cent. Love it!! If you need photos to be stamped with GPS coords, direction, altitude, time and labels for reports etc this is fabulous. Gone are the days of downloading field photos and then labelling them. 😫🙄 Hoorah.

  • Great field app

    I use this extensively to record geology in the field. I paid extra for the UTM option, well worth it.
  • Brilliant concept, poor in delivery

    This app was recommended by one of my Uni lecturers as a tool to aid the capture of ecological field data.
    I am also looking for an app for use in search and rescue work and thought this could be the one, however;

    • Accuracy is inconsistent; placing some pins way off actual location during a consecutive sequence of photos over a short distance with no obstruction to GPS signal
    • The app frustratingly slow; from pressing the shutter release to completion can take up to 30 seconds to record, during which time you cannot take further photos.

    If the capture time was reduced significantly I would be using it all the time and with the inclusion of other grid reference formats, such as OSGB, this app could be a winner, but it’s not there yet.

  • Exported photos missing date/time stamp

    I’m using an iPhone 8 with the latest iOS update. I noticed the date/time stamps missing after uploading photos to my computer. All the other info is still stamped. Looks like the date/time stamps are omitted when the app saves them to the iPhone’s Camera Roll, while the stamp is not missing when viewing photos from the gallery of the app itself. This issue is affecting many of my colleagues as well. This is a critical issue disallowing us further use of Solocator, and would be a huge bummer to have to move away from this app entirely.

    Developer Response

    Hi, we submitted an update yesterday which fixes this issue, so expect to see the update in the App Store shortly. This issue relates to the standard app not stamping the date/time when autosaving to the camera roll. However you can manually save to camera roll with no issue or when autosaving to iCloud or exporting and emailing. Sorry for the inconvenience. Regards John
  • Excellent GPS Field Camera

    Great app! Very well thought-out and responsive updates.

    Fantastic customer service! I highly recommend Civi Corp apps
  • SamWork13

    I tried the developer web site to ask this, but safari won’t open the page. My newest update has a bug that drains the battery on my phone after one or two pictures. I love the app, and use it frequently, but I cannot use this any more. I have an iPhone 7 with iOS 13.3.1

    Developer Response

    Hi, we haven't seen battery drain as you described with iOS 13.3.1 on other devices. I will grab an iPhone 7 to test battery usage. In the meantime could you please email me at support@solocator.com with some details of what settings you've selected within the app. Regards John.
