Built Photolog - An Android mobile app that Captures, tags, timestamps photos and accepts dictated notes All Searchable by date or tag.

I built an Android mobile app that captures and organizes image photologs. Each photo is automatically saved with its date, time, and GPS location, including a link to Google Maps. I can dictate or type notes about an image, then add to or edit those notes later by typing or dictating. When I finish the notes, I add a tag to the photo. The tag remains persistent until I change it or close the app session. This makes it possible to retrieve all images from a session at a location, event, inspection, or other shared subject—such as a 1957 Ford—within seconds by searching by tag or date. All photos are stored exclusively on the user’s phone. Photos can be shared individually, or an entire set can be exported as a ZIP file. Shared and ZIP images arrive at the recipient’s end with all recorded dates intact. Each ZIP file contains the original raw image, an Excel sheet with one row per image and its date, and a formatted field report with each image and its related date in a single image card. The app works with or without cellular or Wi-Fi service. 1. I capture an image, and the app automatically records its date, time, and GPS location with a Google Maps link. 2. I dictate or type notes about the image. 3. I add to or edit the notes later by typing or dictating. 4. I add a tag when I finish the notes; the tag remains active until I change it or close the app session. 5. I search for images by tag or date. 6. I share individual photos or export an entire set as a ZIP file containing the original raw images, an Excel date sheet, and a formatted field report.
