Geotag Photos Tagger (GPX) User Reviews

Top reviews

So promising but….

Does what it says, I’m using it for a trip to Europe to geotag photos from my dslr which has no gps by using a gps tracker on my phone then using the resulting gpx file to tag the photos after importing the images to my iPad. But I did a long day and ended up with a gpx file of more than 5000 points and the iPad app then crashes when trying to import the gpx file.

Functional but lacking

Basic workflow of “Open GPX file, see I tagged photos, Tag untagged photos” works well

You can’t open a GPX file from the Files app. Airdropping a GPX file to the iPhone gives the option of opening in the app, but the app ignores it.

There is no way to bulk import multiplie GPX files.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your review and suggestions. Unfortunately, opening GPX files directly from AirDrop is currently not possible, however, you can save the GPX file to the Files and then open it from the Files app. Feel free to contact us at helpme@tappytaps.com if you need further assistance. Our support team will be happy to help you. 🙂

Works well and extremely fast

This little app does exactly what it says it does. What’s more, it does it phenomenally fast. So nice to see an app that delivers on its promise dependably and quickly. All apps should be so good.

Works exactly as advertised

I needed to correct the geotagging on some photos taken with 16.1 beta and broken gps. I was easily able to import a gpx from another device and effortlessly fix my photos. Thanks!

Makes my old DSLR up to date!

I have an older Nikon D60 and still love it. I’ve been a Geotag Photos user doe years, and I used to travel with my Mac to be able to geotag my photos. Now I can just use my I phone! The photos flawlessly tag with my GPX file from Geotag Photos 2, and the time sync works for when you forget to adjust camera time.

Now with only my iPhone I can tag my location, get my photos on my iCloud, and share everything! I enjoy that it tags my photos across all my devices via iCloud.

(I use the iPhone dongle to read photos in from my SD card, the Apple photos app, and my photo library is synced with iCloud across devices.)

Works Perfectly

I use this App in conjunction with my DJI Pocket camera, which doesn’t have GPS capabilities. It is simple and reliable to use. The companion App (Geotag Photos Pro) collects GPS data, which is merged with the photos/videos. This software combination has removed a major frustration of not being able to easily identify geographic locations. A perfect solution!

Nearly purchased it

Trying to figure out the DSLR -> IOS -> Lightroom CC workflow. This app looked to do it, until I realised that it doesn’t write to the EXIF file, so as soon as it’s imported into Lightroom, it looses the geotagging.

If this could be fixed to write EXIF for each photo, the app would solve that crucial problem!

Hi, thank you for your feedback. The exact position is assigned to the photo directly, not to the EXIF file. We apologize for any inconvenience, and don't hesitate to contact us at helpme@tappytaps.com.

Perfect 😍

Exactly what I need. After the few try I bought full version directly. Only one issue concerns me: the photos with tagged gps info look good when I used EXIF app to check the details, but when I imported them into my diary app it showed no GPS info so I just wonder what’s wrong...

Great app for geotagging photos from your DSLR

Well-designed app, regularly updated by the developer. I’ve used this to successfully geotag thousands of photos from my Nikon.

This app is a companion app that geotags photos, using the geotag file log (GPX file) created by the sister app on your iPhone. I use the other app on my iPhone when I’m out and about, shooting photos ww my Nikon, and I use this app to attach the geotag location data to the Nikon files (both RAW and JPEG).

Highly recommended.

Great app but doesn’t work with iPad OS 13?

This was a really great app for any photographer that wanted to geo tag locations and apply them to their DSLR photos. Doesn’t seem to be working on ipad OS 13. The app loads just fine, but I get a spinning loading sign on the current map as it tries to load the current GPX data from iCloud. Tried to airdrop it from my iPhone too and the same issues apply. Hope this app gets up and running soon because it was powerful.
