### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2026-06-06*

I’m so happy it works perfectly now! The time offset feature is also very handy and I like that it auto tags when it detects location.

**Developer response:** Hello! I published an update 2026.5, which fixed a bug affecting gpx files import

### 5/5 — Perfect for DSLR absent GPS

*2026-03-30*

I inherited an older Canon DSLR that does not have an integrated GPS.  This software gives me all the tools I need for geotagging photos with coordinates; either manually or synchronizing using GPX tracks with timestamps.  Fantastic. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Finally can go iPad only

*2025-12-20*

The gps tracker in my camera app is terrible. This lets me geocode with my garmin exports. I can finally get by with just my iPad. I previously needed a computer to geocode.
