Geospike

I wanted a way to record my travel photos with notes on a map. Works great! Easy to share too.

I wanted a way to record my adventures and share with my friends. Geospike works well for both, and doesn't take much time out of my travels either.

Have not been able to open app for months - crashes each time I try to launch it :(

App worked OK to start with then glitched out. So updated phone software, no joy. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled app. Now the app won't recognise my log in detail. App support does work either.. Disappointing, poor app!

Used this app for our trip around New England in 2014 and it worked excellently. Was planning to use it for this year's trip back to the USA but it crashes as soon as it opens.

I really like the list view of "your spikes", lots of info on one screen. When starting recording a journey, however, it appears to hang and say "internet connection not available". I'm testing at home on my wifi! Also, most journeys you can assume I won't have Internet, so this won't do for me at all. I'm concerned by default behaviour of sharing my locations and journeys with the public unless you pay money for the app. Privacy issue for me. I haven't taken the plunge and purchased full app for £4.49 because of the app's inability to let me do things offline. As to the other reviewer in October 2015 who talks about the app using current location for previous photos, this is not the case for me. I can successfully add a previous photo from a few days ago and it will pick up its location okay. Perhaps in testing this user first added a photo from the current location, the tried to add another pic from previous location? The entry seems to only use location from the first photo you add.

Though the interface is quite pleasing and principally a good idea, it's severely let down as one cannot put in photos from albums or camera roll without GeoSpike first stripping it's GeoData!!! Therefore any previous photo you may have taken GeoSpike will assume it was taken at your current location!!!! What is the point in that?!! Also STILL NOT iP6 Plus resolution compatible!! Geeeeezzz, how long has the iP6 been out?!! Deleted!

My daughter and three members of the family bought the pro version of this App to follow her travels around South America. None of us could receive her photographs or details of her spikes despite her sending us a screenshot of her phone showing what appears to be successful photos posted on her App. I also uploaded some to my phone to see if they could be seen by her and other friends but apparently not. A real disappointment.

Clever app, does what it says on the tin. Had a problem but the support (Will) helped me sort it very quickly and efficiently.

All good here try it out :-)
