Ratings and reviews

Despite having the GPS connection, the app keeps on identifying photos with a different cemetery (that isn't nearby). After taking a lot of photos (100+), the upload function often gets stuck and i have to wait and re-upload the remainder during a second or third try. That being said, I'm still happy to have the app.

Refuses to upload pictures!! Spent two hours taking pictures in remote area with no mobile network or Wi-Fi access, took over 90 photos and transcribed all of them at the time, then went home and connected to our broadband Wi-Fi and pressed "upload" button, app just spins and says uploading.... and it stops then gives no failure message and it hasn't been uploaded. Tried repeatedly for over 24 hrs with no success. The website or app has no troubleshooting or support section to work it out.

Camera stopped working after 10 min on my first use... and was sooo excited to use it while I'm visiting a small town in AL. I was only about ton take 26 pictures before the camera screen turned black. I thought mashed my phone got hot. So I cooled off in the car. Still nothing. All the rest of the app worked fine. The camera had a very small corner of the screen that showed a satellite view if where you were currently at....even after I left. I've done a forced stop. No help. Any suggestions?

What’s new

Fixed a problem where taking more than one image per second caused images to be lost.
