This app is just brilliant. I took my new Canon 7D out for a spin around Hyde Park yesterday and wanted to track my movements. gps4cam did an amazing job. You literally just open the app when you want it to start recording your whereabouts and it'll take a GPS reading every 5 minutes (or more/less frequently if preferred). The app runs in the background and had only a slight noticeable effect on the battery life.

At the end of your trip, you simply tap Export and it'll display a barcode which you snap using your digital camera. The idea being that one of the images on your memory card has the barcode shown, which is then picked up by the desktop app. The desktop app (Mac & PC) scans through the images, gets the location data from the detected barcode, matches up the time each shot was taken with your corresponding coordinates and voila! your images are tagged!

Brilliant if you ask me. Here's a quick screenshot from within Aperture using the Places feature: http://cl.ly/2P1u2g1y310w3n2z2T2J from this trip: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lcooperdesign/sets/72157625581556748/

Even if you don't use Aperture or iPhoto you can see from my Flickr page how the site picks up on the coordinates too. Awesome.

The only downside for me so far is the time it takes the desktop app to scan through and detect the barcode shot. Seeing as it's likely to always be the last shot I take I think it should find it quicker or give me the option to specify. I'm sure this is something that'll improve with time however.

All in all this is a highly recommended app!

I've yet to use this once. I'm sure it could be handy at some point but I don't tend to repeat myself all too often.

It is what it is. If you're on Foursquare, this app makes things faster and easier.

Great idea. Nicely styled app too.

Much prefer dropbox app.

Very fun game. Although quite difficult.

Not bad.

Very handy. Good that you can hear the pronunciation!

No need for a Magic TrackPad with this bad-boy!

A good app, but offers very little if not less than their mobile version of the site.

Very handy when at the races. Which for me is once a year. I'd still recommend though.

Quite good but the eBay app is getting better on every release.

Bought it, used it once, was very impressed. Never launched it again.

More variety is always a good thing!

Handy, but no retina display and too expensive for what it is, considering you'll probably be able to pick up a paper equivalent at the event.

Very good. Controls take some getting used to though! Especially inverted gyroscope controls.

short-lived fun

Great that you can use your iPhone for video calling to non macs. Although FaceTime for mac is better if you do own a mac.

I really like it so far, very well made. Only down side is that it will not keep your phone dry if it rains.

I highly recommend this app, but mainly as a companion to the desktop version on the mac. There is also a Windows version in beta which promises to be every bit as good as the mac version. I mainly use this to look up passwords, pins and other private info whilst out and about.

So far the developers seem to be very hot on the development side of things and there are frequent bug fixes and feature additions which demonstrates their commitment to your purchase.
