This app has cloud integrations with three services. Apparently, I can't mention them by name or I'm flagged as spam for "advertising", but I'll abbreviate them as GDrive, ODrive, and DBox. There are two MAJOR cloud services out there that would be far more useful to integrate with (GPhotos, APhotos) ever since GD eliminated their photo syncing services recently. Without integrations with one of these two cloud services, this app has become all but useless to me. I hope the developer can add one of these services this this app, and I'll be back for a 5 star review.

The Google Photos API doesn't offer the functionality to read GPS positions. PhotoMap could download all files and read the GPS positions on its own, but that would make the process extremely slow and would cause a lot of traffic. That's why I can't recommend using Google Photos. Cloud storages like OneDrive or Drive support reading GPS positions.

the app is good, the concept is cool. I realized halfway through my vacation that I forgot to turn on GPS location, so half my pictures are tagged, but I know you can manually tag pictures, but for some reason it won't save my info. write to the creator, but have not gotten a reply yet. also, depending the storage source you use, it crashes the app. I also mapped a source location to my OneDrive, but it doesn't seem to scan it to find my pictures. I wish there was a user manual or FAQ.

Initially I gave the app a bad rating, mainly because it kept crashing. This seems to have been resolved. The app is feature rich, but has a steep learning curve as parts of the UX are not particularly intuitive. Made for nerds you might say. Performance is good where other apps struggle, like e.g. reading the meta data of pics and displaying the map overlays.

I'm happy to make changes if you have any suggestions. PhotoMap is a very stable app and a lot of users find it very easy to use. Please add more details about the not so intuitive PhotoMap features.
