## Description

Camera Auto Timestamp is a handy Chrome extension that automatically adds timestamps to your photos as you take them with your built-in camera. It offers an easy one-time setup, with flexible options to switch timestamps on or off, and select from various date/time formats to suit your needs.

The Pro version unlocks advanced customization including custom date/time formats, text color and size options, text outline for better visibility, adjustable text location and margin, multiple font choices, and the ability to add your own custom text and logos. Additionally, it supports geostamping with location details or QR codes for location embedding. Please note, this extension supports standard JPEG photos only and may not work with other file formats.

## Review summary

The app can be very helpful for dating (and sometimes geotagging) photos, especially for deliveries, but many users report frequent regressions after updates, permission/SD card issues, reliability problems with rapid captures, an internet requirement, and GPS/EXIF bugs. When it works, it’s a simple, valuable tool, but reliability and compatibility issues limit consistent satisfaction.

### Pros

- Stamps date and time on photos (and can include location) for easy reference.
- Useful for delivery jobs to verify when and where photos were taken and to deter fraud.
- Longstanding app that some users have purchased and used for years.
- When functioning, provides a straightforward, timestamping workflow without manual edits.
- Free version can be used with ads and remains usable for some users.

### Cons

- Regressions after updates breaking timestamping and overall usefulness.
- Permission prompts and SD card storage issues prevent the app from working properly.
- Stamping is unreliable when photos are captured quickly (first frames may miss the date).
- Requires internet connection to stamp; offline stamping is not supported.
- GPS/EXIF handling bugs (location data loss or misattribution; copies created instead of timestamped originals).
