MyFieldBook vs Foto Notes

The mobile app MyFieldBook is primarily designed to allow for easy (meta-)data capture and to help register scientific observations and samples from their origin in the field. The app allows for fast track capturing of standard meta-data (date, time, coordinates) for each record, which can be enriched with more information (e.g. scientific name, sequence data, etc.) lateron or in the lab. It allows for a complete digital workflow from the field to the lab/collection by using QR-codes as unique persistent identifiers. By a full customizable templates you can enter the any information your want directly in the field even if you are offline. Most important features are: * Coordinates via GPS / GSM * Images * QR code scanning (e.g. for sample containers) * Customized templates * Usable even if you are offline * Upload records of your project to a central database * Record versioning

Foto Notes burns the facts right into your photos: date, time, street address, GPS coordinates, compass, altitude, a small map, the weather — and your note. No editing afterwards, no separate notebook. One image, all the information. Construction site, apartment viewing, handover, inspection or survey: what the photo shows, it also backs up — every detail baked into the pixels, on every copy, in every app. THE NEW DOCUMENTATION STAMP The single text line has grown into a structured info card that ticks live in the viewfinder: - Large clock with seconds, date and time zone - Full street address — street, number, city - Exact GPS coordinates, altitude and compass direction (true or magnetic north) - A map thumbnail of your position — standard or satellite (Pro) - The weather at capture — temperature, wind and humidity (Pro) - Your note and your branding Too much of a good thing? Hold the stamp and toggle every element individually. What you see is what gets burned in — nothing else. DESIGN RIGHT IN THE CAMERA Change transparency, colors and placement in the adjust panel right next to the shutter — every change shows up instantly in the viewfinder. The stamp sits in a corner or above/below the photo, so no detail of the image is ever covered. Set the stamp size to small, medium or large. SIX TAGS, NOTHING TO MEMORIZE Tap a tag and it drops into your note as a clean badge — no code to remember, nothing to type: - Date — today's date, in the format you choose - Time — the current time, ticking every second - Location — city, country or full street address - Room — an entry from your room list (kitchen, bathroom, office …) - Coordinates — exact GPS position, works completely offline - Company — your company name and website (Pro) MADE FOR VIEWINGS AND JOB SITES Set up your room list once and pick the room before each shot. Three viewings later you still know which bathroom belongs to which apartment. On the job site, date, coordinates and map document every step of progress. CHECK-IN: WORK HOURS WITH PROOF The new check-in mode clocks you in and out with a proof photo — selfie camera, burned-in time, done. The app reminds you to check out, times can be corrected transparently, and your time log survives reinstalls thanks to iCloud backup. Export the work time report as a PDF with photos, daily totals and signature lines — or as CSV. Your first report is free, after that it is part of Pro. STAMP PHOTOS YOU ALREADY HAVE (NEW) Stamp existing photos from your library or the Files app — date, time and location come from the original’s capture data (EXIF), and originals stay untouched.
