Read full description

Main functions: 1. An app that can record date and time, GPS, shooting address, direction, altitude, pressure, and moment along with photos 2. By adjusting the image quality and size of the photo, the data size of the photo can be much smaller than usual.    (example by iPhone: 2Mbytes per standard photo => 0.4 Mbytes /per PhotoWith) 3. Date and time, GPS, location, altitude, barometric pressure, moment of shooting, etc. are recorded together with the image taken as image data, so you can visually check the necessary information just by looking at the photo. 4. It is possible to perform shooting preparation at the same time as launching the application and shoot automatically. 5. There is a waiting time to decide whether to save the captured image and other information. It is possible to cancel the image without saving it. Of course, all can be manually operated. When should I use this app? 1. When simply recording daily work that is routine work, for example, clearing the room, recording the mileage of the car, the shop that went out, the cat that was walking, etc. 2. In the event of an accident or disaster, to convey the status of the place via SNS or email in a short time. 3. You have taken a picture but want to reduce the data size as much as possible. 4. When you want to avoid getting too detailed information from the viewpoint of privacy, for example, when you want to take a picture with an image quality that does not allow you to know the number of the license plate of the car in the picture. 5. When you want to take a picture by preparing several shooting conditions and immediately changing the settings according to the situation. Initial setup : 1. You need to agree to use your privacy details as -Taking photo(using camera), Saving photo in album(library)- in your device. 2. You need to agree to use your privacy details as -GPS, searching your location in your device. Cautions: - This app stores photo data in the device's standard photo library. Only setting information is stored in the app itself and the cloud environment. - This app accesses the network environment to access the cloud environment and to grasp the location information. - Check the saved photo data with the standard photo app for your device. Also, you cannot delete saved photo data directly from this app. - If your device does not have the capability, you will not be able to provide information. For example, barometric pressure information is not available for all device types. - About backup/restore, the backup/restore functions are only in this app settings information. This app don't backup/restore any photo themselves. - About backup/restore, please don't do at the same time between multiple devices, or it will be caused of data lost. For the same reason, do not perform other operations while performing backup and restore operations. - About backup function, this app don't guarantee to record perfectly, it may be different situation in each devices. - Date and time information is quoted from GPS data. Therefore, the time may be different from the device clock. - Since GPS data and atmospheric pressure data are recorded as photo data, they cannot be updated later for correction after taking a photo.
