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. **Developer response:** Hi! Very sorry about that. The app now supports the dark mode. Please be sure to download the latest version. ### 2/5 — Can’t create with custom Address????? *2019-12-10, version 2.3* 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. ### 4/5 — Just what I have been looking for! *2018-11-29, version 2.2.5* 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. ### 1/5 — Does Not Work *2018-11-23, version 2.2.5* A promising map but it just shows the cherry blossom trees on the UW campus. No other features work. **Developer response:** 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. ### 3/5 — Cumbersome interface *2018-02-21, version 2.2.5* 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! ### 5/5 — Great App!! *2018-01-31, version 2.2.3* This is a great app! But the pdf function does not work and does not display the location on the PDF after you export. Very difficult to use for its intended purpose without this! ^^ This issue has been fixed and I have updated to a five star review! **Developer response:** Hi, the PDF export and printing should be fixed with the latest update. Please try it and let me know how it works for you. You can contact me directly via the in-app feedback feature. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Great App! But PDF function isn’t working *2017-10-21, version 2.2.2* Love this app! A very nice way to organize photos to give to your director/producers. I will give it 5 stars once the PDF export works. As of right now I can’t get the PDF to export. This would be the main reason we would use this. Other than that, love it. **Developer response:** Hi -- the PDF feature has been fixed and improved! Please give it a try and let me know how you like it. ### 5/5 — EPIC! *2017-05-07, version 2.0.5* The bomb!!! This is BY FAR the best geotagging and photo location organizing/management ever! Great GUI, super easy to use.. totally a 5 star app! Well done guys⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Very impressive app *2016-08-17, version 1.9.2* Extremely useful app for location scouting. Overall quite pleased with the application! ### 5/5 — A solid app *2016-08-05, version 1.9.2* I found this app very convenient so I moved on to the full version. ## Frequently asked questions about MapAPic Location Scout LE ### What is MapAPic Location Scout LE?
