Geotag Alpha — connected cameras and live location
How it works

Set it up once. Then shoot.

Full pairing guide →
01

Pair once

On the camera, enable Bluetooth and select 'Pair with smartphone'. Tap your camera in the app. That's it — one-time setup.

02

Put the phone away

Lock the screen and keep the phone in your pocket or bag. The app runs in the background and stays connected automatically.

03

Shoot normally

GPS coordinates are written into EXIF on every shot. Your photos are geotagged automatically — no manual import or tagging needed.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Locate your photos

Geotag Alpha uses the Bluetooth connection on your Sony camera to push location information to be recorded in your photos' EXIF data. Don't spend time messing with GPX tracks.

Background geotagging

Geotag Alpha works while in the background, and even handles reconnecting to paired cameras while backgrounded.

Energy efficient

Minimises battery drain by only sending locations to the camera when it changes, and only enables location services when connected. Customisable interval and distance between updates.

Multiple camera support

Connect and geotag on multiple cameras simultaneously on a Pro license.

Automatic time correction

Geotag Alpha can auto correct time and time zone, on supported cameras.

Update location on focus

Geotag Alpha pushes the latest location to the camera on focus, for more accurate location data on photos. Works on current generation Sony α cameras with Bluetooth Remote Control enabled.

Compatibility

Will it work with your camera?

Geotag Alpha supports camera bodies running firmware that works with the Creators' app, with limited support for older cameras that only work with Imaging Edge Mobile.

Frequently asked questions.

Will it work with my camera?
Check the compatibility table at /compatibility. Even if your camera is listed as verified, we strongly recommend installing the free version — or starting the two-week Pro trial — and confirming it works with your specific body before subscribing or buying. BLE behaviour can vary by firmware revision, region, and even individual camera.
What's the difference between Standard and Pro?
Standard supports one connected camera at a time. Pro supports multiple cameras connected simultaneously, which is useful for two-body shooters who don't want to swap pairings between shots.
Is it a subscription or a one-time purchase?
Both. You can pay a one-time price or subscribe — pick whichever suits you. Pricing is shown in the App Store.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. There's a free tier so you can confirm the app connects to your camera and works in your real-world setup. Pro also has a two-week free trial. Please use one of these before paying — it's the best way to verify compatibility on your specific body and firmware.
