Memory Spots is a lightweight app for practicing the method of loci with photos of real places. Create a route from familiar places such as your room, desk, commute, or favorite park. Add locations to photos, see them on a Memory Map, place visual notes directly on each photo, and switch themes to reuse the same route for different topics. Use Memory Spots for exam prep, shopping lists, language practice, presentation cues, or anything that becomes easier to remember when it is attached to a place. Features: Create ordered albums from place photos Add photos from the library or camera Show geotagged photos on a Memory Map Add or change a photo location later Organize notes by theme Place sticky text, image notes, icons, number labels, and arrows on photos Zoom and pan while editing a photo Review notes in route order by album and theme Keep data local on your device Memory Spots is intentionally small and tactile. It helps you build a walkable path in your head, then attach what you want to remember to that path.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Memory Spots at none against E's 1. Memory Spots also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
