Your photos capture not only the moment, but also where it happened. GPS coordinates are automatically embedded in every photo, making it easy to revisit both the images and the journey behind them years later. Turn on the camera and you're connected. No need to take your phone out or relaunch the app. Location data updates as you move, or when you press the shutter. Exporting is just as simple: swipe to select multiple photos and save them to your photo library with a tap. JPG and RAW files are grouped together automatically, keeping your library organized. The 'Add Only' permission ensures the app only writes to your library without reading your existing photos.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GRImageViewer at 52% against GR Mint's 0%. GRImageViewer also leads on ratings volume (42 vs 6) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). GR Mint's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GR Mint holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GRImageViewer has 42 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of GRImageViewer's written reviews are positive against 0% of GR Mint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 23, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
