About

Golden Map

Features
Read full description

Most photo apps sort by when. Golden Map sorts by where. Every photo you import gets grouped into a Location — a spot you can revisit, rename, and build a history at. Over months of shooting the same corner, the same beach, the same street, that Location quietly becomes a map of your eye. CAPTURE & ORGANIZE • Full EXIF pulled automatically at import — camera, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter, ISO • Sun context on every photo: golden hour, blue hour, day, or night, computed from its exact time and place • A free-form note per photo, plus a Timeline of every visit across every Location EXPLORE • A living map — a pin per Location, sized by how often you've returned • Place search that flies the map straight to any city, country, or address • Pro: a spot heatmap showing where the community is actually shooting SHARE & BELONG • Make individual photos public, visible to others on the map • Real profiles behind every like and comment — know who's engaging, moderate what you don't want • Live updates via realtime — no pull-to-refresh • Push notifications that open straight to the exact photo and comment Free: up to 20 Locations, 5 photos each. Pro ($1.99/mo or $19.99/yr): unlimited Locations and photos, plus the community spot heatmap. Available in English and Vietnamese.
