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. Compatible cameras GR IV series · GR III series *This app is NOT associated with the Ricoh Corporation*

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GR Mint at 4.7 against GR WORLD's 2.1. GR Mint also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). GR WORLD's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (68 vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GR Mint sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. GR WORLD asks for nothing beyond the download.
GR Mint holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GR WORLD has 68 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of GR WORLD'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.
GR WORLD ships an update every 2 months, GR Mint every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
