Want to Add Notes to Your Photos?

A picture is worth a thousand words. Of course, but… sometimes I want to add my own words like „I met Sarah and Tom…“, or „I bought a coffee for 2$.“, or „In the background you can see…“, or „That’s the flat of…“, or „The restaurant is open from…“, or whatever. I usually don’t want to add a text on top of a photo. I just want it to be stored in the photo without changing the picture itself. The Android apps MapCam and PhotoMap are able to do that by adding metadata to a photo file. The added comments can also be edited and viewed with Picasa on a PC. It’s a very important feature for me. What about you?

Label your photos by adding captions to the photos' metadata.

    This is the most important feature for which I bought the app. I really like the fact that I can show the captions in View and Slide Show mode. The only thing missing is support for Chromecast so I can cast my pictures + captions on my flat screen TV. Is Chromecast support something you considers for the future?

      Thanks for the comment. It is currently not high on the to-do list, but I’ll consider it.

    Are you considering to add Chromecast support so I can view my slideshows with captions on my flat screen TV?

    Die Möglichkeit eine Beschreibung auf dem Foto anzuzeigen ist für mich die wichtigste Funktion dieser App. Dafür habe ich gern die Pro-Version gekauft. Die Schrift ist jedoch weiß, sehr klein und hat keine Hintergrundfarbe. Dadurch ist der Text auf vielen Fotos, je nach Motiv und Hintergrund, schlecht lesbar. Kann dies geändert werden, evtl. einstellbar?

    any chance to have tag visible as well, would like to have them sorted by tags as well.
    Thanks for your Feedback

    Prima App, deren Entwicklung ich gerne mit dem Erwerb der Pro-Version unterstütze. Es gefällt mir, dass die Bildbeschreibung aus dem entsprechenden IPTC-Feld des Fotos übernommen und eingeblendet werden kann.
    Werden Änderungen durch GeoMap eigentlich zurück in die Metadaten des Fotos geschrieben? Hab’s noch nicht ausprobiert, sorry.
    Scheinbar ist der Lese- und Editiermodus der Bildbeschreibung in GM, auf das jpg Format beschränkt. Würde mir wünschen, dass es auch bei Raw-Formaten wie dng oder nef in Zukunft klappt.

    I have all my captions in EXIF Image Description and IPTC Description. They don’t show up

    Good morning Sir,
    I am very satisfied by the pro version that I purchased a few years ago, and by the additional features that the app got since then, but would have a small request not requiring much work at all.
    Would it be possible, please, to display the name of the file as the caption in slideshow mode when none has been created by the user ?
    Thanks in advance.
