Is this a joke?

First, there is no way to set a location name. Second, I can’t see ANYTHING because I have dark mode on and all text: address, tags, notes, etc. are either white or invisible. Third, when I select sort by nearest or location, nothing happens! The example location will change the image but that is all - useless. Fourth, why do I have to select new location and then Save it before it does anything other than add a photo? Dumb!

This has got to be a joke, right? These 5-Star reviews make little sense given how the app is configured.

Response from developer

Hi! Very sorry about that. The app now supports the dark mode. Please be sure to download the latest version.

Can’t create with custom Address?????

Great app but come on. When I add a location I don’t always wanna use the place I’m at. I usually want to add a location I want to go to. So I should be able to type in that address and the map show that address. At the moment I have to save the location name and pic then go back, edit, and manually move the pin. Let me put in an address OR use current location when making a new location. Please fix this then 5 stars.

Just what I have been looking for!

A wise photographer once said ‘The best camera for the job is the one you have with you.’ and in this day and age that means a camera phone. However, as a long time user of higher end cameras, I am often not satisfied with the results from a camera phone. I had been looking for a way to make a note of photo opps that would be best taken with my DSLR camera when I’m out and about but don’t have my DSLR camera with me. I tried many methods to do this but all of them were clumsy, too much of a hassle etc. Then I found this app. It is so easy to take a quick snapshot of the subject in question and then later add it to the app. You don’t even have to take a picture of the actual object as the main goal is to get the GPS coordinates that the phone records when you take a photo (I have a few shots of my car seat as I took them while driving by something interesting) . Then it is a simple matter to add the photo to the app which then creates what is called a ‘Location’. This ‘Location’ includes your photo, notes (really helpful for those car seat photos mentioned above) and tags to further categorize the ideas. You can also view your Locations on a map.
Here’s an example: I already have a fair number of photo ideas from the downtown area near where I live. These spots were all discovered while there on other reasons than a photo shooting session. When I decide to do some shooting downtown I can just grab my camera gear and head downtown and easily find all those spots using this app. That’s pretty darn great!
I deducted 1 star from my rating because I’d like to see a more robust method for organizing the Locations.

Does Not Work

A promising map but it just shows the cherry blossom trees on the UW campus. No other features work.

Response from developer

Hi, the location with the cherry trees is a example of what kind of information you can save about a place. You can create your own locations by tapping “New Location” on the bottom left of the screen.

Cumbersome interface

Way too many clicks to take a picture (must choose source each time, this should be an immediate button choice.) Then you must save, close, open, edit to take any notes on the photos you just took. Super annyoing and unnecessary!
