### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2026-07-19, version 2.26*

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.

### 3/5 — Does what I need, but creates a redundant work flow.

*2026-06-26, version 2.26*

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.

### 1/5 — Harvesting personal photos

*2026-06-06, version 2.26*

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.

### 1/5 — not usefull

*2026-06-02, version 2.26*

dont use the northing and easting i use on the construction site i work, and autocad, so i just lost 7 pounds buying the industry pack and app

### 4/5 — Very cool!

*2026-04-20, version 2.26*

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

### 5/5 — The best GPS Camera App so far. Especially for managed devices

*2026-04-14*

I was looking for a reliable camera app with a GPS watermark feature that can be deployed and managed via MDM and also is collecting no data.

This app is easily the best solution I’ve found so far. It covers all requirements and goes beyond that.

The automatic organization of photos, along with seamless saving and cloud upload, is a real game changer for us. It significantly reduces the time needed to collect and manage images.

On top of that, the developer is very responsive and helpful. Well worth the price for both the app and the enterprise features.

### 5/5 — Inspector

*2026-03-23, version 2.24*

Extremely satisfied with this app. Been using it for several years. The creators service has been exceptional.  I found  glich in the early Verison let me a beta version after fixing glitch. I can’t say enough about the creators of this app and the App

### 1/5 — Bugslocator

*2026-01-13, version 2.23*

Waste of money,
Bugs after bugs after bugs

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-12-08, version 2.22*

I can log into my OneDrive doesn’t let me pull my one drive

### 4/5 — Addition Fields

*2025-11-21, version 2.22*

This saves a lot of time.  It would be even more brilliant if there was some Custom fields that could be renamed and used for capturing Data.  Utilising to Take off assets in a process facility.  Manufactory Model, Serial Number etc.  currently being diligent and using the Notes Field with a Deliminator so I can strip out the data later from the CSV
