The best app for photographic documentation
I use this daily for work and I’ve tried several and this is the best by far. They are very responsive to requests as they made changes to their date formats because my employer requires a certain format. I can’t speak highly enough of these guys and their app.
Versatile
Great app. Use it for many work applications. Love that it stores the photos in app to keep separate from the camera roll. The ability to set naming conventions and auto upload to a cloud drive saves hours sorting and renaming photos. The ability to change info after and re-upload with the updated stamp has been a life saver more than once. When there has been issues, the developer is quick to respond and usually has a patch or a workaround within a few days. Highly recommend this app for any working professionals who take a lot of photos for work. Even if you don’t want stamped photos, original photos use the same naming convention and still saves time sorting and renaming photos.

Focus Glitch
This is a 5 star app. However, The app was working great, until a few days ago. The camera does not focus past 2.0 zoom. It is blurry and it jumps. Please fix this soon. I use it for work daily.
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.
