Photo Note is an iOS app designed for iPhone and iPad devices. How often do you take a photo as reminder at a store or of something nice you see, but when the time comes to use it you forget the context and details of that reminder? Well, no more. With Photo Note you can add a note to any photo on your local device. Photo Note lets you add a note to a photo on your local device's photo library. Using the app’s clean, simple and intuitive interface, you can browse the photo library and albums, viewing and editing the photos’ notes. You can also search and filter the photos by the content of the notes. In addition, the Details screen shows the metadata information of the photo. Features: * Add & Edit a photo’s note directly from the built-in Camera and Photos apps * View photo’s note and metadata from any supported app on your device * Copy the photo’s metadata to the device’s pasteboard so you can paste it in other supported apps (for example, Mail) * Browse through your photo gallery to see the note preview of each photo * Search for note using the search bar in Album view ** Important ** Photo Note saves its note within the photo itself, embedded in the photo’s metadata. This means that the note remains intact even if the app is uninstalled or if the photo is transferred to another device with its metadata (for example, using AirDrop). Keep in mind that your note will be deleted if you revert the photo to its original state using the built-in Photos app.
