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 date, time, street address, GPS coordinates, compass, altitude, a small map, the weather and your note right into your photos. There is nothing to edit afterwards and no separate notebook. Construction site, apartment viewing, handover, inspection or survey: the photo shows when and where it was taken, and the details stay on every copy. THE DOCUMENTATION STAMP An info card that updates live in the viewfinder: - Large clock with seconds, date and time zone - Full street address with street, number and 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 - Your logo, company name and website (Pro) Hold the stamp to show or hide each element. What you see in the viewfinder is exactly what gets burned in. DESIGN RIGHT IN THE CAMERA Change transparency, colors and placement in the adjust panel next to the shutter, and the viewfinder shows each change instantly. The stamp sits in a corner or above/below the photo, so it never covers a detail. Stamp size: small, medium or large. VIDEO WITH A TIMESTAMP (NEW, PRO) In video mode the stamp is burned live into every frame. The clock keeps running, and the compass and map dot follow your movement. Records in Full HD with optional sound and saves straight to your photo library. SIX TAGS FOR YOUR NOTE Tap a tag and it drops into your note as a badge: - Date: today's date in the format you choose - Time: the current time, to the second - Location: city, country or full street address - Room: an entry from your room list (kitchen, bathroom, office …) - Coordinates: exact GPS position, even offline - Company: your company name and website (Pro) MADE FOR VIEWINGS AND JOB SITES Pick the room before each shot, from the built-in list or, with Pro, from your own. Three viewings later you still know which bathroom belongs to which apartment. On the job site, date, coordinates and map record every step. CHECK-IN: WORK HOURS WITH PROOF Check-in mode clocks you in and out with a proof photo from the selfie camera, with the time burned into it. The app reminds you to check out, times you add or correct later are marked in the report, and iCloud backup keeps your time log through a reinstall. 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 (PRO) Stamp existing photos from your library or the Files app. Date, time and location come from the original's capture data (EXIF), and the originals stay untouched. TRY EVERYTHING FIRST Your first 3 photos after installing carry the full Pro stamp, including the map and your own branding. Then you decide what to keep. NO ADS The free version takes unlimited photos and shows no ads. In return it carries a small Foto Notes badge inside the stamp. FOTO NOTES PRO Pro replaces that badge with your logo, company name and website on every photo you hand to clients, insurers or contractors. It adds video mode, the map thumbnail and stamp layouts above/below the photo. Get Pro as a subscription or as a one-time lifetime purchase, which launches at an introductory price. ALSO ON BOARD - Quick zoom presets, flash, continuous light and front camera - Flexible date, time and location formats - Save photos to your photo library or your own iCloud Drive PRIVACY The app uses the camera, microphone and location only to take the photo or video and render the stamp. Your photos stay on your device or in your own iCloud Drive and are never sent to us or anyone else. The app needs no account and does not track you.
