### 2/5 — Recent update a step backwards

*2025-11-12*

Have been using this fantastic App for years. In my opinion the update in early November 2025 reduces its functionality and is a step backwards. Please go back to the legacy version.

**Developer response:** We will continue to improve this app. For any questions, please contact us at: DJLabCanada@yahoo.com. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Add state?

*2022-10-15*

Very good app.  Just wish it would have option to show state as well.  Also don’t like the fact it duplicates pix when adding location.  Still better than regular camera app!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2016-05-19*

Thank you for writing a simple and easy to use app, that allows access to all my folders.
And thank you for not forcing me to pay for the app once I open it.
You have 5 stars because it actually works and for going to the trouble to write this app, love your work, 
Regards
Darren

### 5/5 — Best app to capture moments in life

*2016-02-19*

After trying many apps this is the Best and Great price too. Many options to choose from and easy to use. Great service if needed and let you use your own photo for app screen.

### 5/5 — Super

*2015-11-13*

Very good app. 👍🏼

### 4/5 — Good but could be great

*2015-08-30*

This is a great app. I am in construction and I use this for progress pics. It uses the inherent date for the photo stamp so it adds the date it was actually taken. Unfortunately you cannot add a caption like on other apps. This would be a huge plus. It also does not save to your camera roll. It saves to another folder. Just not my preference.

### 1/5 — Bug in the app

*2015-04-29*

After the latest update on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 I don't see my camera roll to choose pictures from. Only the albums are available and when scrolling thru them the app freeze.

### 2/5 — Linda

*2015-04-15*

Location Services has to be permanently on, even if you only want a date stamp and each photo has to be stamped individually!! Could be hugely improved...

### 1/5 — Constantly Crashes

*2014-08-08*

This app used to work well but ever since the update was released, it crashes constantly. Hard to even take one photo without having to restart the app. Terrible!!

### 5/5 — Like!

*2014-07-28*

Great 4 work as an independent contractor were I need the time/date stamp on pic. I could now use my iPod which is less conspicuous when taking pictures than my camera. I could also pinch zoom & summit them more easily

In PhotoDateMark v6.0.0, we added the ability to recognize and search for multiple languages ​​in images using Apple's AI capabilities. Previous versions could only handle English text in images.

If you're an English user and don't care about other languages ​​in your images, simply update as before.

If you're a multilingual user, to use the multilingual recognition and search capabilities in version 6.0.0, the app needs to perform preprocessing work again. Note: a simple update is not sufficient. Please follow these steps:

1. First, uninstall the app from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. (This step will not damage anything.)
2. Reinstall PhotoDateMark v6.0.0 from the Apple App Store. (If you are an existing user, you will not be required to pay again.)
3. Open PhotoDateMark v6.0.0 and search for any word in your All Photos album. Wait for the search to complete. (This step will allow the app to complete all preprocessing work, which will take a little time. Once completed, this tedious preprocessing work will not be required again.)

It's done!

- Optimized camera usage.
- Improved compatibility with iPad's multitasking and multi-screen features.
- Improved compatibility with the iOS 26 and iPadOS 26.
- Added the ability to mark the compass direction on photos you take.
