### 2/5 — Grande déception.

*2015-12-21*

Application pas très utile.
Écriture peu lisible sur la photographie.
Localisation pas du tout précise. On y voit le nom de la région ou du comté plutôt que l'endroit où l'on est.

### 5/5 — Pratique

*2015-11-22*

Elle est bien pratique pour se rappeler les endroits où j'ai prise les photos. Surtout, quand je suis en montagne !
