### 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.

### 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?

### 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.

### 3/5 — Low Precision, 0m Coordinate Accuracy

*2020-06-15*

The app tagged my photos as having a zero meter accuracy when in fact they plotted about 200 meters off of the trail I was hiking. Zero in this case presumably means unknown, but give the impression of higher accuracy than the points were.

**Developer response:** GeoTagr does work on an iPhone or iPad! And also when your photos are located on a Mac. Or on Dropbox or Flickr.
Maybe the message right after launch confused you, but just give GeoTagr a try on your iPhone or iPad. If it isn't clear how to use it, there's an in-app Help section. There's also the possibility to send me a support email from within the Help section.

### 2/5 — Drops out

*2018-12-05*

Used to be really good but current version keep stopping the tracks if you don’t keep the app active. Has also crashed while applying gps data to images although can’t replicate that fault. Is a very good idea and would recommend if the bugs where ironed out.

**Developer response:** Please contact me via email (go to the app Help section), so that I can investigate your issues and solve them.

### 5/5 — Powerful app - always works flawlessly

*2018-08-31, version 5.0.7*

One of my favorite apps. I use this whenever I go on holiday to add gps coordinates to my photos

### 5/5 — Don’t know what I would do without it

*2018-07-30*

Great App.
Been using it for almost 2 years now and it’s been great. Simple to use, good documentation and lots of methods for tagging your photos.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-04-30*

Super-easy to use and very reliable, regardless of whether you’re tagging the location of your photos directly through the app or exporting your location logs and adding to your photos through a program like Lightroom. Highly recommended.

### 3/5 — Das beruht auf Gegenseitigkeit

*2018-03-19*

Wenn Ihr unsere Bewertungen wollt, nehmt Euch doch bitte Zeit, die Updates zu kommentieren (was konkret geändert wurde). Es hilft wirklich!

### 5/5 — It works well and wonderful app for camera.

*2018-03-11*

This works well and could do all features as they are advertised. It is convenient to upload all gps log to dropbox and could have geotag for photos from camera without gps. This is wonderful app for geo logging and geo tagging at the same time.

### 5/5 — Einwandfrei

*2018-03-10*

Macht was es soll ohne Probleme. Endlich kann ich meine DSLR Fotos geotaggen.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr

*2020-07-12*

Habe die App jahrelang begeistert genutzt - aber inzwischen stürzt sie nur noch ab, wann immer ich versuche zu taggen. Jetzt habe ich die Geodaten der Route zwar in der App, kriege sie aber nicht mehr auf die Fotos...

Nachtrag: ja stimmt, seit dem letzten Update stürzt sie nicht mehr ab - dafür verändert sie bei allen getagten Bildern die Zeit um 1 Stunde. Dadurch stimmen 1. die Geodaten immer noch nicht mit der tatsächlichen Route überein und zweitens muss ich die Uhrzeit dann wieder ändern.... so funktioniert das nicht.

**Developer response:** Es tut mir wirklich leid für die schreckliche Benutzererfahrung. Eine neue Version ist verfügbar, die den Absturz behebt.

### 1/5 — 大量の写真が処理できません

*2020-01-15*

1万を超えるレベルで大量に写真を撮り溜めてあると、アプリが落ちて全く使えません。

このままでは評価のしようもない事に加えて、有料のアプリでもある事から、申し訳ないですが今のところは評価を下げざるを得ません。

(追記)
返信ありがとうございます。

写真の保存場所は全て携帯本体内です。

読み込みの時点で全ての写真を一気に地図へ表示させようとしているため、情報量がオーバーフローしてアプリが落ちてしまっているのでは？と推察します。

**Developer response:** 写真のジオタグはどこにありますか？ iPhone？ iPad？ マック？ ドロップボックス？

### 1/5 — Funktioniert seit High Sierra nicht

*2019-10-18*

Man kann sich die App sparen, beim Support nur Ausreden.

**Developer response:** Please contact me via email (go to the app Help section) and explain what exactly isn't working since High Sierra.

### 1/5 — iOS 12 issues

*2018-10-07*

Will not tag on the background. After about 30~60 mins it will turn off.

**Developer response:** Please contact me via email, so that I can investigate this issue and solve it.

### 1/5 — Leider ohne Funktion bei APFS

*2018-06-02*

Funktionierte bisher eigentlich ganz gut. Nur leider nicht mehr mit APFS ab High Sierra. Laut Homepage: Note: GeoTagr is not compatible with File Sharing of the new APFS file system introduced on macOS High Sierra.
Sehr schade. Hoffe sehr auf ein Update.

**Developer response:** I do understand your concern. The file sharing alternative for High Sierra is SMB. I tried to add SMB support to GeoTagr, but currently SMB on High Sierra is very slow and unreliable. I'm giving it a try with each High Sierra release, but until today SMB on High Sierra is just not a workable option.

### 1/5 — RiP Off

*2018-03-21*

I got this to goetag all my photos and it would not work on any photo taken on different devices.

I will be seeking a full refund

**Developer response:** Please contact me via the support email (geotagr@gmail.com) and I’ll investigate why GeoTagr isn't doing what you're expecting.

### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Money

*2018-02-18*

I purchased this app to GeoTag photos on my iPad that were taken with a camera and imported. Won’t recognize any of my pictures. Description of this app is misleading. Steer clear.

**Developer response:** The scenario you describe should definitely work. Please contact me via the support email (geotagr@gmail.com) and I’m sure I’ll be able to make this work.

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Great App for photography and bike riding

*2020-08-02*

I have been using this app for 5 years including 3 trips on safari in Africa and many trips to France. It works well with Lightroom mobile which enables me to start my workflow straight away. I never leave home without it even on local bike rides so that I have a record of the many trails I explore.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2020-07-08*

Very intuitive user interface and makes it extremely easy to add location data to photos taken with my DSLR. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Perfect for tagging!

*2020-02-10*

A great app that does exactly what it promises, and does it well.

I’ve been using GeoTagr for years now, after hunting high and low for an app that could add my location to photos shot on my DSLR - which still frustratingly often come without GPS tagging built in. (Or in my case comes with a camera manufacturer’s app which never seems to keep its connection to the camera so is pretty useless).

When I’m out and about, I keep the app running in the background and then use the app to tag my photos once I get home. It really is that simple, and means I can see exactly where I took the photo on the map view within Photos, while memories etc. are properly collated too. Recording your GPS location constantly means your battery can take a hit, but the app includes a battery time remaining feature, and I just carry a battery pack with me.

Chris the developer is really great at replying to support queries too. 

If you’re looking for an app that records your location then tags your photos reliably and without hassle, you’ve found it!

### 5/5 — Top App

*2019-04-10*

Funktioniert wunderbar und benutze es häufig! Verbraucht sehr wenig Batterie!

### 5/5 — Sottovalutata

*2019-03-23, version 5.0.7*

Tagga i raw da ovunque, anche da cartella condivisa sul Mac. Assolutamente impeccabile.

### 5/5 — Wunderbar, App und Support spitze!

*2018-12-31*

Sehr günstig im Vergleich zu diversen Konkurrenzprodukten und funktioniert hervorragend. Track-Verfolgung kann auf der Apple-Watch gestartet werden. Intervall zum Logging (zwecks Akkuschonung) kann eingestellt werden und das Taggen der Photos klappt super - auch auf dem iPad. Bei geöffneter App auf sowohl iPhone als auch iPad „holt“ sich die App den auf dem iPhone gespeicherten Track automatisch und taggt die Photos genau passend. Aufgrund kleiner anfänglicher Schwierigkeiten habe ich den Entwickler kontaktiert und innerhalb 24h eine hilfreiche Antwort erhalten. Ausgezeichnet und weiter so!!!
