Photo Location Wizard

Features
Read full description

Fix missing locations on your photos - automatically. Thousands of photos in your library might be missing location data. Photos transferred via AirDrop, saved from Messages, or imported from other devices often arrive without GPS coordinates - leaving your memories unplaced on the map. PhotoLocationWizard scans your library, finds photos without locations, and suggests where they were taken based on the photos around them. Confirm a location in a tap and move on. How it works The app looks at the geotagged photos taken just before and after each unlocated photo, then suggests those locations as candidates. Since you were probably in the same place, it's usually right. Features • Smart suggestions - sees what you shot before and after to pinpoint the most likely location • Batch mode - tag up to 9 photos at once when a group was taken in the same place • Fixed locations - save places like Home or Work for photos you know were taken there • Date range filter - focus on a specific trip or time period • Swipe to review - flip through photos in a batch before confirming • Works with your whole library - iCloud photos, AirDrop imports, shared albums Your photos stay yours • Everything happens on your device. No photos are uploaded or shared.
