The time lands in the photo the moment you shoot. No more typing a time into a photo after the fact. Tap the shutter and the time, date and address are burned into the shot, and it goes straight to your album. [No review screen. Done in 3 seconds.] - Shutter to saved in one move. Nothing stops to ask "Save this?". - It lands in your album, so you can send it straight on from there. - Hold the shutter to record video instead (up to 2 seconds). The stamp is burned into video too. - Pick the frame: 4:3, 16:9, 1:1 or full screen. [What gets stamped] - The time, the date, and the address of where you are. - Add a line of your own, up to 30 characters, like "Open for business" (Nowshot Pro). - Text color is white or black, and the stamp stays where you dragged it on the next shot. - The time zone follows your device. [Photos you already took] - Import them in the gallery and each one is stamped with its real capture time, not the time right now. - A photo with no capture time recorded is skipped. - Press and hold the stamp to move it, drag a corner to resize it.
