    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.

    This app used to be so easy to use. I don't know what happened or when, but it has changed. The options on the photos change whenever, the fields in the csv do not populate when you fill them in, the photos don't separate into albums and uploading the photos has gotten incredibly difficult. I used to love this app but now I am looking for something else for my company to use in the field for our environmental science work.

    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.

IMPORTANT NOTE - DEVICES WITHOUT A COMPASS From v2.18, we have made Solocator accessible for incompatible devices that do not have a compass. These devices are without a magnetometer (magnetic sensor), which means the compass and some direction features in the app won’t function as designed. However, when you change/update to a device with a compass, all directional features will be enabled to work as intended.
