Alpha GPS Geotagging

About this app

Reliable Geotagging information for your Sony Cameras.

This companion app uses modern Android APIs to auto-start the app in the background (after initial configuration) and tag your precious photos and videos with minimal battery use.

An optional always on mode helps to keep the connection to the camera stable in restricted environments (such as energy saving measures implemented by phone vendors or android devices before Android 12)

Ratings and reviews

Incredibly good app. So simple to setup, doesn't consume much battery on either the phone or the camera. Extremely simple setup, which the app guides with perfectly and works like a charm from there. You have done an incredible job developing this app, especially with no ads. And that too open-source. The developer is a genius, no less.

Initially, this app failed to connect to my Sony camera. The Click to find & associate your camera button appears to do nothing. The developer responded promptly and deduced that the problem was related to an off-by-one error related specifically to Android 12. Bluetooth pairing works with the fixed version of the app.

Oh man, this is a lifesaver, a new era of using my camera. Just a heads up: none of the native Sony software works at all. But here: a small app, instant connection, and geotagging on all the photos. No need to simultaneously take pictures with your phone to mark the location, like I've been doing all these years. I need to tell everyone about this app! A couple of days later, I took out the camera, turned it on, and it instantly connected to the app and enabled geotagging. Best app ever.
