Is Timestamp Camera good for work documentation?

Yes, the strongest positive theme in the reviews is work documentation. Reviewers mention reports, construction sites, investigations, truck movements, field location, and general proof-of-time use. If your main need is a photo or video that visibly shows when and where it was taken, reviewers often describe Timestamp Camera as useful for that purpose.

it helps with my report for the time stamp is a plus

Does Timestamp Camera add date, time, and location to photos and videos?

Yes. The app description says Timestamp Camera can add the current time and location while taking photos or recording videos, and reviewers repeatedly confirm that date, time, place, address, city, state, or location information appears on their images. That said, separate reviews also report GPS or address accuracy problems, so location stamping should not be assumed perfect on every phone.

Takes great pictures and you geyt a time and date stamp. Just what I was looking for. * Perfect *

Can Timestamp Camera customize the timestamp format, font, color, placement, and extra details?

Yes. The Play Store description lists timestamp formats, font, color, size, placement, opacity, background, location address, GPS, altitude, speed, map, compass, text, emoji, and logo options. Reviewers also specifically praise the different date and time formats, font controls, colors, placement, elevation, and time stamp options.

This app does much more than what I expected. It has many different date and time formats. I can change the font size, colors, and placement. I can also include my current elevation which to me is important because I take quite a few off-road trips. That's really all I need. I assume the rest of the camera's options also work just fine and one of these days I'll give 'em a try! This app deserves the full 5-star recommendation!

Do ads in Timestamp Camera interrupt recording or taking photos?

Ads are one of the main complaints in the recent reviews. Some users say ads are reasonable or that they see no advertisements, but others say pop-up ads open other apps, sit too close to capture controls, or cut off video recording. If you need uninterrupted work video, this is a real risk raised by reviewers.

As a free user, I understand that ads are part of the experience, and I don't mind them appearing below. However, please refrain from using ads that suddenly pop up and open applications like Shopee. This greatly disrupts the recording process, especially when I'm capturing something important for my work.

Too much ads, ads always pops out while taking a video. My video have many cuts and needed to be edited to make a long full video. It wasn't like this before when my first download, it's been with me since my first work and already 3 years with me helping my daily routine. I hope you will find a solution for this, if this keeps happening I might download another app. And to say goodbye to my friendly app. Thank you

THE ADD IS EXACTLY JUST A THINLINE BETWEEN CAPTURE AND RECORD BUTTON AND ITS FRUSTRATING EVERYTIME I CLICK THE ADD RATHER THAN CAPTURE

Is Timestamp Camera GPS and address accuracy reliable?

Reviews are mixed. Many positive reviews value the app specifically because it shows location, address, place, or Google Maps information. But other reviewers report wrong addresses, GPS not working properly, or location not showing. If exact address proof matters, it is worth testing Timestamp Camera in your normal work locations before relying on it.

It helps to find the exact time and location.

Why does Timestamp Camera ask for location and microphone permission?

Based on the Play Store description, location access relates to adding location address and GPS details, and microphone access relates to recording video with audio. Some reviewers still object to those permissions, especially if they only want a timestamped photo. The reviews do not provide enough information to judge how the app uses permissions beyond the features described.

Wants access to my location and microphone just to take a timestamped photo.

Does Timestamp Camera save photos and videos reliably?

Most positive reviews focus on successful everyday use, but there are serious reports of media not saving, corrupted pictures, and the app loading without functioning. One reviewer said deleting app data and old photos made photo saving work again, but that is only a user-reported workaround, not an official fix in the reviews.

Suddenly not recording photos. It's took a while till I realized that all photos I made not in my storage. How that happened? Have any solution to fix this? I robot my phone, tried changing storage location manually, doesn't help. Just deleted all app data and all old photos and it's working now.

How good is Timestamp Camera photo and video quality?

Photo quality feedback is split. Some reviewers say photos are clear, smooth, or good quality. Others complain about slow capture, lag after pressing the shutter, blurry photos when the phone is moving, poor photo quality, dark exposure, lack of wide-angle support, or video FPS problems. For quick action shots, the delay and blur complaints are especially relevant.

really good features and free but you cant take pictures with wide angle camera and also it takes seconds to capture so the photos comes out not good if you want quick pics. overall very good app but easily can be improved to be the best
★★★★☆Timestamp Camera · 2026-07-24 · 0 found this helpful
Overall pretty good quality. There is a lag between pressing the button and the actual photo so sometimes I'll get a blurry photo.
★★★☆☆Timestamp Camera · 2026-08-04 · 0 found this helpful

Is Timestamp Camera free, or does it charge for features?

The Play Store listing says Timestamp Camera is free, and its description says there is a Pro version on Google Play that costs $4.99 as a one-time purchase. Reviews show some friction around monetization: one user says functions were taken away and the app now wants to charge, while another wants to pay to remove the ad banner. So the app can be used free, but some users are unhappy with ads or feature limits.

everything worked fine claimed it was free but now wants to charge. Taken away functions. Liars! Don't care about ads.

let me pay to remove the stupid ad banner

Serves its purpose well. This developer did a good job. Ads are reasonable, no notifications = no scams and not buggy.
