NoteCam Lite - GPS memo camera

What the camera records with each photo

This is a camera app that combines a photo with location and time data. It records latitude, longitude, altitude and GPS accuracy, along with the time, and merges them into the picture itself. The stated purpose is to keep track of where a photo was taken after the moment has passed.

Because the data is part of the image, it stays with the photo when you move or share it. Browsing your photos later shows the location and related details for each one.

Adding notes and finding them later

Before taking a shot you can write a short message, which is printed on the photo alongside the coordinates. Comments are arranged in columns, so a single picture can carry several lines of text.

Lite keeps the 10 most recent comments for reuse. Pro keeps the last 30. Either way, the saved comments make it quicker to label a series of shots from the same place.

Lite and Pro: what changes between them

Lite is free. It adds a "Powered by NoteCam" watermark in the bottom right corner of each photo, allows three comment columns, and does not store original photos without the text overlay. Its storage time is listed as twice that of the paid version.

Pro is a paid version with 10 comment columns, a 30-comment history, and access to a text watermark, a graphic watermark and a graphic central point. The listing says Pro is ad-free, which implies Lite shows ads.

GPS accuracy and coordinate problems

Location data depends on the phone's GPS signal, and the app reports the accuracy figure with each reading. The developer links a separate GPS troubleshooting guide from the listing for users who see wrong or missing coordinates.
