Really Useful

Great for what I do - however I would really need National Grid Reference added in to make it useful for what I do. Is this possible?

Brilliant concept, poor in delivery

This app was recommended by one of my Uni lecturers as a tool to aid the capture of ecological field data.
I am also looking for an app for use in search and rescue work and thought this could be the one, however;

• Accuracy is inconsistent; placing some pins way off actual location during a consecutive sequence of photos over a short distance with no obstruction to GPS signal
• The app frustratingly slow; from pressing the shutter release to completion can take up to 30 seconds to record, during which time you cannot take further photos.

If the capture time was reduced significantly I would be using it all the time and with the inclusion of other grid reference formats, such as OSGB, this app could be a winner, but it’s not there yet.
