Required for my job, but still missing a lot of basic features. The inability to change where pictures are saved is a major headache, and the dev STILL hasn't implemented in over 2 years. The "pro" features (paid) break half the time if I don't have signal anyway. Somehow this is a popular app in my field, but it still needs a lot of work to even meet basic minimum criteria for app development. Very disappointing. 2 years later, again, and none of these issues have been addressed. Bad dev. Edited

The basic app is really useful. However, I also purchased the Industry Pack because it is supposed to allow you to export kml, and similar data, but I can't figure out how to do that. Furthermore, I can't find a guide for this product, which would be really useful. Edit: John, the developer first this app, has been very responsive in emails. I have changed my rating to 4 stars. FYI, he is working on the kml upload function for android devices and it is currently only available for iOS. Edited

I love the direction/location tagging & being able to title my own photos & add notes. This makes it very easy to import photos to a computer as the files are named by the written title I gave and time taken. I'm docking stars because of poor photo and zooming quality (I often have to take back up photos with my normal phone camera) & because it doesn't interface well with my Samsung s9; Solocator photos often do not load into my texting app. They appear as white boxes or won't attach at all.

I have recently discovered several problematic issues with this app. I am not sure if they are due to "operator error". I will preface my further review by saying that I am using the "free" version so perhaps I need to purchase the upgrade? I have had it loaded on my phone for quite some time and have used it successfully in the past. The first issue today (9/24/2020) came when I was going through my photo library. I selected a few pictures from a past date that I wanted to delete and the app deleted my most current photos that I wanted to keep! Apparently there is no UNDO feature on this app! Then when I went back into the "Album" setting, most of my photos have disappeared and have been replaced by the little green Android figure, and no date for the album title, just numbers like: 3.5 M. I can't seem to access any of my past photos. And P.S. I just now paid for the Industry pack upgrade. Didn't help. I don't see any difference. Second issue came when I tried to send a group of photos to my e-mail address. I chose the export to e-mail feature. It sent the selected photos to my e-mail and the background information was sent and a link to where the photo was taken on Google maps, but NOT the photo itself. So now all the important photos I took the other day are gone! Fortunately, I can go back and retake them. Additional issue: When I used this app before on a Samsung phone, the photos appeared in my regular photo library. Now on my new Google Pixel 4 phone, when I take photos with the Solocator app, the pictures do not show up in my Google photos library. Can't find them. Help!

Does the advertised job of overlaying photos with location and direction data. It also embedded exif data just fine. The photos I took imported into Google Maps with no problem. It's a little buggy, though. For a while, it took two photos without the overlay for each one photo with the overlay. Also, it turned my flash on and kept it on like a flashlight. I was also not thrilled to pay for a nap, and then it be immediately offered to pay more for an in-app purchase. the price of the app is low, so it's not that big a deal. But it sure is tacky. Edited
