**Location Check โ Film Location Scout** Location scouting has always been messy. Photos lost in camera rolls, pins dropped in three different apps, WhatsApp threads nobody can find a week later. Location Check fixes that. **Drop a pin. Add your photos. Write your notes. Done.** Everything about a location lives in one place โ GPS coordinates, reference photos, production notes, all organized into folders by project. When you're standing at a spot and you know it's the one, you capture it in seconds. **Built for film crews, but tourists are welcome too.** - Save locations instantly from the map or your current GPS position - Organize into folders and sub-folders by project, episode, or scene - Add photos directly from your camera or library - Write notes that actually travel with the location - Measure straight-line distance between two pins - Share any location with your crew in a single link **For the whole team.** Share a folder with your director, send a single location to your 1st AD, or let your production designer browse the scout before the recce. We built this because we needed it ourselves. Every feature came from a real problem on a real production. Terms of Service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: XSControl at none against Location Check's 2. XSControl also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Location Check's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
