IMPORTANT NOTE - DEVICES WITHOUT A COMPASS From v2.18, we have made Solocator accessible for incompatible devices that do not have a compass. These devices are without a magnetometer (magnetic sensor), which means the compass and some direction features in the app won’t function as designed. However, when you change/update to a device with a compass, all directional features will be enabled to work as intended.
Recent changes: - Refined the notes overlay UI and brought back the requested “Clear Text” button in input fields. - The app now remembers your preferred sort order for each field type preset notes. - Improved UI experience when navigating and editing photos within your photo library. - Various bug fixes & metadata improvements.

Comments on Solocator - GPS Field Camera for Android
★★★★★Mohammed Alhussain· Feb 23, 2025
I'm using this app for more than five years. It was very effective in every field inspection. Honestly all features in So locator it was shortcuts to do your work right. I had two problems recently, and I was planning to change different app and same time I contacted support team is it possible to fix problems. Truly they fix problems between 24–48 hours.

Easy to use and accurate GPS location is logged within one photo, no need to edit the metadata, it does it all for you.
★★★★★Mark McPartland· Jun 3, 2026
Was perfect for adding logo, location and direction overlays to photo during a site visit. Made for more professional inclusion in reports. The ability to change settings and then reprocess photos again very useful as well, especially because like many apps you just want to get using straight away without thinking through all options. Finally, support from developer to queries was fast.

Having issues w exporting the photos & data, and w the auto save to the cloud. The app shuts down when exporting, and it has been over a week and 2 days of photos still have not saved to onedrive. I have contacted via the feedback link in the app, but really need a resolution to this, especially as the whole crew have purchased the industry pack and are having the same issues. If these issues can be fixed, I would gladly give 5 stars

Paid to try the app. While it takes a pic with the cardinal directions stamped on it, it also takes a second picture that doesn't have info on it. Double pics ate up my stage quick. Also, you have to pay for the pro version of you want to add brief notes. Conota records cardinal directions and allows you to add notes for free.
★★☆☆☆Tony Indilicato· Feb 11, 2024
The pictures taken I have noticed that there label above does not agree with the degrees given. "East Elevation" and the degrees shown is 263° West. Now this is a problem that needs to be fixed.
