MemoMapper provides a fast and easy way to collect, remember and find back to special places and moments. MemoMapper automatically fetches the adress, location and date when you add a new memory, and you can easily add a photo, a note or an audio recording. All your memories are collected in a list and shown on a map from which you'll conveniently find back to your saved memories, guided by the app (using apple maps). Some use cases: Location scouting, where was that photo spot? Where was that fishing spot? Where and when did i park my car? What's the postal address of my location?
