Awesome app!
I love this app! I’ve used it for documenting damage assessments for Team Rubicon RECON Team, my county/state initial damage assessment process, FEMA Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA), my own insurance damage documentation, and when conducting mitigation project assessments. Great documentation tool for easily sharing info with others electronically.
The settings allow me to show my location and bearing towards the target directly on the photo. Very helpful when showing others.
My biggest gripe is that it defaults to taking two pictures. One of which ends up in my photos folder and it is a pain to get rid of them. It would be very helpful to have a way in settings to only take/store one photo.

Response from developer
Hi Steven, Thanks for the feedback! Yes, by default both the stamped and original photos (without overlays) are enabled to autosave to the camera roll. There is a switch to turn each photo type on or off in the Solocator settings screen, so you can set it to save only the stamped photos to the camera roll. If you need some assistance, please email me at support@solocator.com. Regards, John
Does what I need, but creates a redundant work flow.
I use this app for field cataloging, and it’s straightforward and does exactly what I need. It extracts metadata from photos and displays it as a useful overlay. Battery drain is a bit higher than using the normal camera, but it’s manageable.
My biggest issue is that every photo is saved twice—once in the app and once in the Photos app—with no option to disable the duplicate storage. Deleting these photos is also unnecessarily complicated. You have to take a new photo just to access the in-app gallery, delete the photo, then go to the “Recover Photos” section to permanently remove it. It’s a confusing workflow that doesn’t make sense.
Please add an option to save photos in only one location and simplify the deletion process. It would save storage space and make the app much more user-friendly.

Harvesting personal photos
Every single time I open the app it prompts me to allow access to my entire photo library. If I wasn’t required to use this app for work, it would be deleted. Fix this and I will adjust my review.

Very cool!
I like the extra info for geotags and the ability to add my company’s watermark to the photos.
