This app is just OK, inconsistent photo attachment when trying to share (email) which is very frustrating. It often fails to identify the industry pack which was an additional purchase making it a complete waste of money. It also changes settings on it's own often so if your not checking everytime you take a photo you may not have the correct GPS overlay on the photo without changing the settings again. Using on galaxy s10 plus
Reviews for Solocator – GPS Field Camera
Only one complaint. The response time for the camera capturing a photo with this app is often delayed. I use this app for jobsite inspection work, and too often do I upload my photos and find photos of the ground instead of what I actually tried to capture or missing photos I know that took. Be sure to hold your phone in steadily in place a few seconds after taking your photo to ensure it actually registers.
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.
I have been using this app in the Australian construction industry for many years now, I have tried a few others, but none even come close to Solocator, it really works well for me with the GPS location, the ability to add descriptions to each photo of works progressing is un-matched, but above all is the back up from the people at Solocator is unbelievable, once I had a very small issue and I received a personal phone call from John (the developer ) after he had read my email, he had it sorted
It works, but could do with some polishing. The biggest nuisance to me is the lack of a manual focus option. I'm using this app to record flora in the field and the travelling autofocus drives me insane! Also my app tries to upload photos to the cloud on mobile data, even though I have the option turned off.
Great app for the price, but needs improved zoom and focus capability to make it more useful (focus can be slow or stick, can't zoom in enough for close ups, or out far enough for wider views). A panoramic/360 photo option would be nice too. I'm a pro land surveyor in California. We use pics from the field to aid us in the office, we would definitely pay for upgraded versions of this. A key feature that makes the app useable is the KMZ export, adding more KMZ formatting options would be useful.
I use this app on my iPhone and found it to be very useful. However I've added an Android phone to my survey equipment, paid for the App and discovered it is very jerky and sluggish after going into the settings page. Is this just me or a known issue? Would like to get this resolved ASAP if possible.
Very disappointed with this app. I wanted to use this to create an inventory of fixture and fittings. When the picture was taken, then the issues started. I was unable to auto rotate or save to Google drive. Every few seconds it was performing a GPS update which rapidly drains your battery. I had to resort to disabling the app because of this. Could not purchase the industry pack as null pointer exception error. Net result a number of photos which I cannot do anything with! Not a well tested app
after buying app to get street address have to pay additional R129 .... buying this app is misleading... don't recommend
it use to be a good app, however the constant freezing and the app jumping when you exit the photo into the gallery to the previous days photos is almost rendering the app unusable. I also have to exit the app a dozen times a day due to the screen freezing. I paid for the industry upgrade and it WAS great but now I'm looking for a better option.
