CAMERA Overlays are designed for both back and front selfie cameras. Supports pinch zoom, plus other standard camera controls, including self-timer, flash and exposure. AUTOSAVE PHOTOS TO CAMERA ROLL Take and autosave two photos at once: one stamped with the selected overlays and the original photo with no overlays.

REFINE & LOCK GPS LOCATION Ideal for those working in and around buildings; to improve your GPS location. You can also use it to lock the asset position you're photographing. COMPACT VIEW Switch off Compass, Building and Street modes and only show the GPS info bar on top of photos for a more compact view. 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.

What's new

- 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.
