Pros and cons of gps4cam - Geotag Your Photos app for iPhone and iPad

gps4cam - Geotag Your Photos app good for

Apps easy to use, efficient, clever!! I recommend strongly to anyone this apps and even more when using different cameras during thé same trip.
This app is great! It is simple and easy-to-use. It does work with any camera and I am amazed by the fact that you dont need to sync your iPhones time and your cameras. Even when you travel from a time zone to another, the apps figures that out and geotags all the photos with the right day and the right location. This is a must-have app for any photographer. I recommend it!
Just an alternative to a xxx€ gps adapter for a dsr Really easy to use
No training, it just works perfectly. We use 2 cameras at the same time and upload the photos to a Mac.
A little bit complicated using proportionally application but otherwise better then expensive alternatives ...
Download it on your Iphone then go to the web sit and get the GPS4 cams for your computer ,turn on the software on your phone export take a picture of the bar code on your phone with your camera you want to geo tag ,use the software on you computer to tag the photos select the card reader and files on it do it twice then upload to iphoto.

Some bad moments

Doesnt work most of the time. If it does record GPS data and a QR code, it often wont tag the pictures.
Expected editing gps of picture metadata or change picture gps. Instead it records where you went. Up to you to figure out how to edit meta tags in your pictures.
