Internet connection is needed to get the address of your location fix. For saving and importing from Camera Roll to work, "Access to Photos" for this app in "Privacy" in "Settings" has to be enabled. Imported photos have to contain GPS metadata, otherwise the app won't know where they are taken and thus no map is possible. Pictures downloaded from web or from messaging apps mostly do not contain GPS data. Photos taken with the native camera app should contain GPS data unless you have explicitly disabled it.

This is important if you want to show damage to a rental car! **Developer response:** Hi oldmapman, You can enable date and time in the “settings”. To access “settings”, long press on the address while composing or importing. Do email us if you need further clarification. Thanks you very much for using our app and for the valuable feedback. ### 3/5 — 📸📸📸 *2018-08-30* This app is awesome! I use it all the time! This app could use an update, some photos won't upload, kicks me out of the app! ### 5/5 — Latest version greatly improved !! *2015-10-13, version 3.0* Tried this app on many iDevices. Works well. End results quite nice. Happy 50 th, Singapore !! ### 5/5 — Deserves Way More Love *2015-08-29* I have to admit I take too few opportunities to write reviews, but this app deserves way more love and attention. I believe some of the negative comments in earlier reviews were simply a result of failing to familiarize themselves with the app - e.g. I export full resolution images. That said, however, it has been some time since the UI was touched, enhancements, or stability addressed. This app does deserve attention. I use it constantly. Consequently, I do hope the developer continues to give it some love, too. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2014-08-15* It shows what u have. Gives the location and u get to share it to the web So stop looking for a camera like I did and get the one like this What I give this is a double two thumbs up Trust me you will love it ### 1/5 — Terrible Resolution *2013-10-26* Reduces the pic dpi at least 50%. Waste. Deleted. ### 5/5 — a7asem *2013-07-13* Exelent program ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2013-06-15* This App solves the problem of knowing when and where you took or take a photo. It makes documentation of a trip so easy. I really like the ability to find out info from my camera roll or photo stream. The App is easy to use. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-05-29* Don't hesitate to get this app. ### 3/5 — Idea is nice, usability…not there yet *2013-05-28* The idea of this app is nice, and when you can get it to work it does a pretty good job. However, the usability is poor and trying to create the image with the map is actually a bit of a challenge. And that is even after I have done it a few time. Besides fixing the usability, there need to be additional options for what information you want put on the image. Right now you can enter your name, and all the other information shows up on the map without any customization allowed. Hopefully this one will improve a bit. The idea is certainly nice. ## Frequently asked questions about MapCamera ### What is MapCamera? MapCamera is a photo app that allows you to add location maps, date, and time stamps to your pictures.
