PhotoGem - Photo Explorer

Wow I like the Wikipedia interface, the new app shows how far you are from the various sites. New and useful features are added regularly to keep it fresh and up to date. I don’t know of another app as user friendly and features rich as PhotoGem. Thanks!

What a cool app! I love all the different features especially how it shows the street view of where the photo was taken. It’s been very helpful with remembering every detail of family trips. I was also able to record my grandpa narrating a picture before he passed away. That’s something i will treasure forever. Very nice job!

My friend is blind and she needs to caption photos by the exif so the caption travels with the image. Photogem is the best solution I have found but when voiceover is enabled to read the screen for her it becomes useless. Please add this feature so that people who REALLY NEED this functionality on iPhones can use it to it’s full potential. I would pay $5-10 for an app exactly like this is but that works with accessibility features turned on. Thank you and keep me posted.

Does one thing, and does it really well. There are several apps to edit exif data, but finding the caption field is cumbersome. With this app and the photo extensions adding a caption is dead simple. Some have complained that the caption is not viewable in Photos. That is a limitation of photos, not PhotoGem. I use google photos, and the caption is viewable there, as well as in Photos Mac. PhotoGem is also invaluable for those who want to scan old family photos.

Apparently, there is no way to save captions created in PhotoGem to Apple Photos! Apparently, the only way to view captions created in this app, is in PhotoGem, which is very inconvenient. What happens if PhotoGem becomes obsolete, or lost? It seems to me that if or when that happens, years of caption could become unviewable. Why can the caption not be saved to Photos, and be viewable in Photos? As it stands, I can see that it will always be a pain to always have to view my captioned photos in PhotoGem, which limits what I can do with them, e.g. can I print my CAPTIONED photos, with their captions? I don't know yet (my current printer is on the blink), but apparently not! This app is apparently (I have only used it once, but...) extremely limited and limiting. Doesn't ANYBODY make an app which puts a caption under or over the photo (not ON them), which can be saved to Photos, as part of the image file, WITH the photo???

Surprisingly there is no way to add captions in Apple’s Photos, so this app fills the gap. I love that you can now access captions right from the Photos.
