ANNOUNCEMENT: Pre-release of my new app, "SiteSnaps"
So what is SiteSnaps?
SiteSnaps helps you organise your Site Photographs. Images are given meaningful names and are sorted into folders according to your chosen project name.
Imagine you're working on site, and you need to take photographs to document your work. You wan tto do this as quickly as possible, without draingin your battery and without having to write down detailed notes about each photograph.
- You could be in real estate, needing to photograph the many rooms of a mansion.
- You could be in the automotive industry, needing to photograph all the new cars on your lot.
- You could be in insurance, needing to photograph damage to property.
- You could be a surveyor, needing to photograph manholes and drains on a busy intersection.
With SiteSnaps:
- you set you project name and all of your photographs are stored in a folder and appear in an album on your device.
- you set your image type and all photographs are named with the image type
- you set the object number and all photographs are named to include the object number.
- you take the photo and it is saved with the date and time of the photo forming the rest of the image name.
No more spending an hour after your site visit organising your photos. Just copy the folder to your computer and you can go to get your dinner.
SiteSnaps has been released for beta testing and is available now in the Google Play app store if you sign up to be a tester. Just join the Google+ community and then follow this link to sign up to beta testing.
Some more of SiteSnaps' key features include:
- Autoincrement the photo number: If you only take a single photo of each object, let SiteSnaps increment the number for you. If you take many photos of each object, use the onscreen buttons to increment the number only when you are ready.
- Default Email Recipient: Tell SiteSnaps your regular email recipient for photos. Then instantly compose an email with the most recent photo with a single button press.
- Geotag photos: use GPS to geotag your photos. You can also set the accuracy limit. geotags will only be written if the accuracy is better than your specified threshold. Or to save on battery, let SiteSnaps use a common geotag for a complete project. The location will be copied from the first photo with a geotag, instead of activating your location services.
- Camera Turn off: SiteSnaps is designed to save battery. Therefore, when you put the app to the background, the camera preview is turned off (unlike some default android camera apps).
SiteSnaps is supported by ads, but these will load under wifi connection only, thus preserving battery usage while on site.
*Battery performance has not yet been profiled.
