This app solves that problem perfectly. While I would have preferred not to have to pay extra for this functionality, it was an excellent investment as I can count on getting GPS data on every image. ### 5/5 — Clean, Polished and Reliable *2025-10-15, version 1.6.1* I love the clean, native iOS design of this app - it just works, without any of the extra nonsense of Sony's first-party apps. It offers a great demo mode to make sure it works with your camera before you spend anything, and I've found it easy and reliable. It can even correct the time and time zone of your camera automatically, which is super helpful (I always forget to do it manually before a trip). ### 5/5 — Excellent and easy *2025-09-22* Great ### 5/5 — Great app, only fairly inconsistent. *2025-09-19, version 1.6.1* Great, easy to setup and mostly reliable. Miles ahead of the Sony Creator’s App tagging, it’s best to check if your camera has the location symbol on the HUD when you turn it on, that shows that everything is working as intended. As for the developer, i feel like when there’s been a few weeks, without turning on the camera, it fails to pair with the phone. It sounds like its more an apple/sony issue, but I’ll mention it here. Thanks for taking the time out to make this app. We appreciate your efforts greatly! ### 5/5 — Reliable and accurate *2025-07-13, version 1.5* Reliable, always connects. Don’t need to think about it. Worth the money! ### 5/5 — Very fast and reliable *2025-06-12, version 1.5* Works exactly as described. Connects very fast and reliably in the background. Doesn’t seem to drain battery at all. Must have for my travels 👍 ### 5/5 — It just works *2025-06-10* I’ve been using Geotag since the beginning within Testflight. It is simple and straightforward and does its job reliably for Sony A1. Far better than SONY’s Creator’s app that constantly ask to access your Photo app library which I don’t need nor want it to do. Geotag works for both my A1 and A7RM4 without fuss. Big thumbs up. 👍 ### 5/5 — Works as it should *2025-04-25, version 1.4* Does what it says. What more could I want? ### 5/5 — Works as promised *2025-04-22, version 1.4* Great app. Works as promised: reliable and automatically in the background. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-03-12* Exactly as advertised. Great app! Connects super easy. I don’t even have to open the app for it to connect! Thanks for creating this! ### 5/5 — Slick App *2025-03-10* Easy installation and pairing to cameras. Maintains connection to multiple cameras (pro version). ### 5/5 — Finally, a reliable way to geotag with Sony cameras! *2025-03-08* I'd pretty much given up on using the Sony app to attach GPS coordinates to my photos. I could never count on it to connect when I turned on my camera(s). Well thanks to Geotag Alpha, all that's behind me. Set it up once, pairing to my multiple Sony bodies, and it just works. Turn on a camera and in a blink it connects, and stays connected. Highly recommend! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Way too expensive *2025-12-06, version 1.6.1* Way too expensive for what it offers. The app is not updated to the recent iOS redesign. ### 1/5 — Very expensive *2025-05-19, version 1.4* It’s way too expensive for what it is… I don’t see myself adding another subscription to an app i’ll never own. Nor paying 50€+ for such a simple app. ### 1/5 — Far from reliable *2025-04-09, version 1.4* The app claims to be reliable. The location is lost even between consecutive shots. How is that even possible? It randomly connects and disconnects. Sometimes the camera can’t fetch location even if the app says it’s connected. It’s so frustrating to go home with photos only to see 30% of them are geotagged. Purchased a lifetime subscription but not worth it. Hope the developer either fixes this issue or stops calling the app reliable. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Works without opening app (A7RV) *2025-12-16* This works flawlessly on the Sony A7RV. I set it up once. My photos are geotagged. There’s no need to open app every time I use the camera. It just happens. Brilliant. Definitely worth the small price. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
