Review summary

Solocator is valued for its usability, price, and responsive support, with long-term field use. Many users praise accurate GPS reporting and broad adoption. However, recurring problems cited by multiple reviewers include GPS inconsistencies, stability and exporting failures, and troublesome in-app purchase handling (industry packs), sometimes resulting in lost photos or repeated repurchases. Some users also report a cluttered UI and auto light adjustments that can't be disabled. Overall, the app offers strong core features and dependable support, but stability, purchase, and export workflows need improvement to meet steady professional use.

Pros

Easy to use and intuitive once you learn the features
Excellent value for the price with useful features
Strong developer support and responsive troubleshooting
Long-standing reliability; used by individuals and teams for years
Accurate GPS/location reporting in many reviews

Cons

GPS accuracy inconsistent and sometimes does not update when moving, per multiple reviews
Frequent stability issues including freezing, crashes, and UI glitches
Industry pack purchasing problems (re-prompts, greyed-out options, lost purchases) and related data loss
Export failures (randomly stops exporting to camera roll; KMZ export not functioning)
Difficult navigation and unwanted auto camera lighting that cannot be easily disabled

2026-06-19	Jo*****	greate at what it does if you adjust some settings. I wish we had the option of relabeling fields and adding more fields for data entry purposes. using for irrigation system checks and would like more fields to better categorize images.

2026-06-15	Ne*****	Paid to try the app. While it takes a pic with the cardinal directions stamped on it, it also takes a second picture that doesn't have info on it. Double pics ate up my stage quick. Also, you have to pay for the pro version of you want to add brief notes. Conota records cardinal directions and allows you to add notes for free.

2026-06-03	Ma*****	Was perfect for adding logo, location and direction overlays to photos during a site visit. Made for more professional inclusion in reports. The ability to change settings and then reprocess photos again very useful as well, especially because like many apps you just want to get using straight away without thinking through all options. Finally , support from developer to queries was fast.
