I can now find all the camera settings when a shot was taken. Quick access to see the settings. I can even email those settings to keep a record of my favorites. It would be nice to see the info at the top of the page instead of after the photo. I already own the "photo geo" app, so mapping is not needed, but for others who do not, this feature is great!
Very intuitive interface and LOTS of detailed info for iPhone-captured images. It would be great for future versions to include other image folders as well as additional EXIF and metadata from non-iPhone captured images if available.
Photo Info works exactly as advertised and is just the tool for accessing all the photo metadata that the iPhone built-in camera roll *should* make accessible out of the box. But it's not without a few minor issues. Most obviously, it can only access photos in your camera roll; any photos in other albums are not accessible. This I'm sure will be remedied in an update, but for now in v1.0, that's how it goes. This limitation immediately raises another interface misstep: when you open the app, its default 'starting position' is at the TOP of your camera roll, where your oldest photos are. This forces you to scroll all the way to the end of the camera roll, which is annoying because 95% of the time I want to view data on my most RECENT photos, not my oldest. The app needs to default to the END of the camera roll, just like the built-in Photos app does. This really should be addressed in an update, soon. The other issue this app shines light on has nothing to do with Photo Info itself, but rather just about every *other* photo app on your phone. And that is that every photo-processing app out there strips all the metadata from your image. So in effect, the only images you'll be able to see full metadata for are the ones that a) were taken with the built-in Camera app (no camera timer apps or other Camera substitutes), and b) have not been processed with any other app such as CameraBag, TiltShift, Best Camera, etc. Which for me eliminates approximately 99% of the photos in my phone. The only solution is to always save the original photo (assuming you used the built-in Camera app to take it) when you do post-processing with other apps. Which is not my normal workflow, since I prefer not to have unneeded originals clogging up my camera roll. But these issues are not faults of the Photo Info app, just the circumstances we're left to deal with. Even so, I do use the app and it's the right tool for the job when you need to see metadata right on your phone. With a couple of improvements I mentioned, it'll be even better.
A cool app so far Does not show info on photo's from other iPhone users sending photo via text. Will come in handy for genealogy records of family reunions and grave sites. Wish we could also rename photo while viewing or add notes to photo, afterall the name is photo info.
Even after reboot this App will crash on you all the time
I have downloaded right now and every time I select a photo and try to view information the app closes. Until they fix this issue I don't recommend you buy it because it simply don't work.
Do not spend $3 on application that is missing the most important information: the title
Don't waste your money this app is not working. I have the latest iOS 4.2. A total rip off!! Stay away!!
