### 1/5 — GPX Import does not work

*2026-08-03*

I did not find how to import a GPX even by going though DropBox… please advice.

### 3/5 — Very basic

*2026-04-12, version 5.2.8*

The app is extremely basic.  If you need to import a GPX file, it can only do it from Dropbox. Will not allow access to Files folder on your iPhone. Very basic feature of “time shifting” is missing.  There is no way to shift the time synchronize the time on your camera photos with your GPX file, if they weren’t perfectly synchronized before you started.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-11-22*

I have been using this app for years.  I don’t geotag photos with it, but rather use it to create a GPX file of where I’ve been when I travel.  I then import the GPX file into Google Maps and I then have a nice map that shows me the route I’ve traveled.

### 1/5 — おすすめしません

*2025-05-18*

自分の環境では動作しませんでした。以下のメールをサポートに送ってもなしのつぶてです。

I am not able to use the app on my iphone (ios18.4.1).
When trying to tag my photos on the library, the app asked me to delete the photo. After I push yes,a message shows up saying operation imcomplete GeoTagDomain error 1.and the my photo is gone.
Can you help me out?

**Developer response:** You can ask questions or send feedback from within the app: Help > Ask for support.
We'll investigate what's going on when you send us more details via the app.

### 4/5 — Useful tool

*2025-02-13*

My main use is geo-tagging processed RAW photos in a folder on my iPad. I import track from GPX file and run that against the folder of JPGs. Works a treat! Any possibility of being able to do the same with other formats, especially HEIF files?

### 1/5 — Outputs invalid GPX files

*2023-12-14*

The time stamps have multiple and random issues. So far I’ve found: timestamps with a space between the time and the time zone indicator; missing leading zero on time, and missing separator between the hours and minutes.

**Developer response:** Please contact us via email about this. I haven't received any other reports about the GPX issue you're describing. I'm sure we can work this out.

### 5/5 — Endlich GPS Daten mit jeder Kamera

*2020-11-28*

Nach dieser App habe ich lange gesucht.

Einfach vor der Foto Tour den Tracker starten und nach der Tour mit einem Lightning-USB Adapter die Kamera anschließen.
So werden die Fotos automatisch mit GPS Daten hinterlegt. Es funktioniert mit JPEGs und RAWs.
Meine Kamera: Sony A7R ii und A6000

### 5/5 — Go to app for my DSLR

*2020-11-21*

Great app for geotagging non-gps cameras. Really well thought out integration to make the experience as straightforward as possible. Love the watch app and Mac integration. 

One suggestion - what about Siri shortcut integration for Start Recording (and stop plus whatever else the developer things might be worth having)?

### 5/5 — Works like a charm

*2020-09-26*

Really well designed app.

### 2/5 — 10 At A Time?!

*2020-08-02*

I really like the app, except that recent versions only allow me to tag 10-20 photos at a time, which is ridiculous! In addition, it only deletes about half the updated photos, which makes an entire day’s excursion a huge pain to tag. Almost easier to do it manually by memory.

**Developer response:** Please give the latest version (5.2.3) a try. It fixes the issue where only a limited number of photos could be tagged at a time.
