### 3/5 — Great but miss the point

*2014-07-17, version 1.3.2*

The application is really great, giving all the needed behaviors but the recording stops each time the phone is sleeping...

### 5/5 — La meilleure

*2014-03-23, version 1.2*

Superbe application. Elle permet d'enregistrer les positions GPS pour pouvoir tagger facilement les photos effectuées dans le même temps à travers aperture ou lightroom. 

Vivement la prochaine version qui consommera un peu moins de batterie. 

L'export vers drop box est top.
