## What is Geotag Alpha?

Geotag Alpha delivers seamless and reliable geo-tagging for supported Sony cameras. Designed to work in the background and tested for hundreds of hours, Geotag Alpha pushes location data to your camera directly instead of dealing with GPX routes. Geotag Alpha also supports connecting to multiple cameras simultaneously, as well as the time and time-zone correction features on supported cameras.

Geotag Alpha offers Standard and Pro upgrades, where Pro supports multiple connected cameras. You're able to select from monthly, annual, or lifetime licenses.

The free version of the app supports multiple connected cameras but with reduced location accuracy. There's a free (no subscription required) 2 week trial for Pro features.

Compatible cameras include, but not limited to:
* Sony a1 (I, II)
* Sony a7 (III, IV)
* Sony a7r (III, IV, V, VI)
* Sony a7c (I, II, R)

### 4/5 — Requires “Always” location sharing, otherwise a 5-star app

*2026-07-26*

The app seems to do its job and do it very reliably, however it requires location services to be set to always. Please at least give pro users the option to not have location services always on, instead allowing us to open the app and leave it open in the background.

### 5/5 — Fixed location issues

*2026-06-23*

Finally a solution for my Sony camera not properly getting location data.
To developer: you should try to add support for other manufacturers, you have a great solution in hands !

### 5/5 — Simple, Well-Designed and Funtional

*2026-06-08, version 1.6.1*

Well designed app with no clutter. Fair and clear pricing model and works exactly as expected (A7iii).

### 5/5 — The way Sony should have worked

*2026-06-02*

Amazing app. After now more than a year of use, it has never let me down. A very shame that Sony couldn’t get their things together.

### 5/5 — Perfect App while travelling

*2026-05-11, version 1.6.1*

Geotag Alpha is the perfect companion for my Sony Alpha 7C II while traveling. The connection is fast, stable, and extremely reliable — exactly what you want on the go. Geotagging works flawlessly and makes organizing photos afterwards much easier. For me, the app is absolutely worth the money.

### 5/5 — Gives me renewed hope in iOS apps

*2026-03-30, version 1.6.1*

I never bother to leave reviews on apps but honestly this one is such a breath of fresh air - does precisely what it purports to do, extremely well, for a fair one off price. Has worked flawlessly with my A7V since the first time I paired it. No apparent effect on battery on either my phone or the camera. Pairs incredibly rapidly with the camera when it’s turned on. Not having geotags on every pic has been such a pain for “proper” photos compared to phone snaps and this app solves it in one easy stroke. Bravo.

### 5/5 — Simple, reliable

*2026-03-11*

Lightweight solution to getting photos geotagged. Successfully been using it with A7RV and A7CR.

### 5/5 — Thank you for saving me from Creator’s App hell!

*2026-02-25, version 1.6.1*

Finally my Sony cameras record location! What a godsend. Instantly connects, geotags and no faff. Works in the background flawlessly. Thank you to the devs!

### 5/5 — Great. Fullstop.

*2026-02-05, version 1.6.1*

Thanks! You deserve a price for that 🫶🏼

### 5/5 — Génial

*2026-01-17, version 1.6.1*

Permet d’avoir la localisation rapidement sur un Sony A7iv, sans avoir à relancer l’application buggée de Sony
