What does this have to do with photos?
Either the app has nothing to do with photos or the instructions are incredibly poor. Either way, 1 star.
Exceptional.
Just came back here to update my review after a few months of use. This app is truly the best in class; it is rock solid and, unlike so many other app, does not tombstone in the background: your GPS log is perfectly continuous. I have just come back from an African safari that extended over 3 weeks: I started logging when I arrived and ended it on the way to the airport on the way home - the app didn’t miss a beat. No restarts, no missed days, no inaccurate logs, just a perfect log that I could use the companion desktop app to tag my photos with. Absolutely money well spent!

Did not work. Maybe I’m not setting it correctly.
It simply works
I’ve been using it flawlessly, for almost two years.
I needed a solution to geotag my photos, after being frustrated with the pairing drops with my camera’s app.
Geotag Photos app uploads the tracks automatically to my defined iCloud and Dropbox. I then copy the .gpx file to my Mac and use Adobe Lightroom to geotag my photos in the Maps module.

Hello! We sincerely appreciate your positive feedback on our application. It's wonderful to hear that Geotag Photos Pro 2 has been seamlessly helping you geotag your photos for almost two years. Thank you for choosing us! 😊
Great app but wish for in-phone batch tagging
Have used this for a few years now and really can’t fault it. Normally I use the iPad to tag the locations but have recently found myself loading images direct from my SLR into my phone. To be able to geotag those images in the phone would be a killer feature. Can’t always have laptop or iPad with me. Great work though - a rare decent app!

Worth the money
So so so much more worth it than paying money on a GPS attachment you have to lug around. You can record on your phone, open the program on your computer, and just apply it to the folder of photos and everything will be geotagged based on what time it was taken. You can even shift the time if your DSLR time was set wrong. I really love the way trip naming is set up because there will be auto suggestions for the date and location so you don’t have to manually type it, you can just click the buttons that pop up and start logging. How much battery it takes up really depends on how your phone can handle running location tracking in the background, and for me it’s not really a big problem.

Love this app. It’s perfect.
Love this. I use it for every trip. Makes it super easy. Upload to cloud service for later tagging in Lightroom. What a fantasically simple and elegant app. Thank you for keeping it updated and running well.
Wrong location tagged
I have used this app for years and had found it very useful for tagging photos taken by my DSLR. It has started tagging the wrong location, by as much as ¼ mile. A photo I took yesterday was off by 875 feet based on the Google Earth location. When I have contacted the developer, the response has been the app is not a moneymaker for them and they are not interested in doing much to make it better. I am now looking for another app to do this.

Perfect
Does exactly what it claims to do. Nice feature with Apple Watch as well to make points. I notice no battery issue when running for 3-4 hours at a time.
Pop the GPX file into Lightroom and everything geotagged.

Does the job
Simple to use, does what I want it to do perfectly.
One of my favourite app
Simple app that only does one thing, and does it brilliantly. I’ve been using it for 8 years now and have tagged tens of thousands of photographs without any issues.
App has lagged behind Watch Ultra features
I use this app heavily, but have been disappointed to find that the watch app can’t record unless my phone is nearby. The ability to run fully on my Ultra, without phone tethering, would be excellent.
This App Used to Work Well
I’ve had this app for years and it worked perfectly. Earlier in the year, I started having problems where exported tracklogs no longer contained data; they were blank. Now in order to export tracklogs, I have to sync to Geotag’s website, log onto my computer and download them. Additionally, I’ve had issues with the time stamps being incorrect on the tracklogs so photos are tagged in the wrong location.
I’m using the same camera and do post processing in Lightroom.
I’ve reached out to Geotag’s tech support and they’ve been very helpful in showing workarounds, but ultimately I just want the app I paid for to work.

Work really good
Use this app to geotag my pictures taken with Sony a6600 and it works. Download the gpx file from web browser on my desktop is straight forward. Definitely a 5 stars app to me.

Hi, thank you very much for your positive review! We are more than happy that you are satisfied with our app. 🙂
Exactly what I needed
This is the best geotagging app I’ve seen. I am able to geotag my trips and then automatically tag photos I took with my mirrorless camera on my iPad. Great job and thanks!
Needs update for version 15?
Seems like a good idea, but can’t evaluate. After logging the first trip, the app now crashes at startup. Restarted phone, reinstalled app, same behavior. So a good idea rendered functionality useless by execution
Edited and updated to 4*: Not sure whether it was Apple or TappyTap, but the app is now stable and works as advertised. The location precision seems a little jittery (but that may be down to hardware accuracy), but certainly close enough for the intended purpose. A vastly better solution than trying to keep the camera linked to one of the camera manufacturer’s apps for transferring location info

Hello, thanks for your feedback. We’re currently working on the fix, the update should be available within a few days. If you need more detailed info, contact helpme@tappytaps.com
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 App runs on my iPhone during the day and it collects GPS data in the background - I use the default setting of every two minutes, but the interval can be more or less. My experience is that there is little drain on the battery. At the end of the session, I upload the created GPX file to the developer’s server for subsequent use when my media from the Pocket has been moved across to my iPhone. I then use the companion App (GeoTag Photos Tagger) to pull down the GPX file to merge with the photos/videos. This combination has removed a major frustration of not being able to easily identify geographic locations. A perfect solution!

Exactly what I need!
After changed my primary photography kit into a Ricoh GR3, I did need an app or a solution to tag GPS info on my photos. This app does exactly what I want it to do, log all the gps location info and with another app I can easily put gps info on my related photos. Just wonder if there’s any upcoming updates for iOS 14.

Hi, thank you so much for your kind feedback, we really appreciate it! 😊 Our app should work without any issues on iOS 14, but we definitely have new updates coming! 🙂
It WAS perfect
Although it’s fairly pricey, this app functioned well previously. Easy to import gps coordinates into programs like Adobe Lightroom then geotag photos.
However. Last month or so has been horrible. The last updates completely messed up my app and now every time I open this app on my iPhone, I find it losing the coordinates completely.
This is not why I wanted to pay so much money for an app. Please fix this. I expect better for an app that charged so much.

External app required to geotag photos
Blatant deception from the developers
