Why does Timestamp Camera ask for microphone or location permission?
The location permission is core to what the app does — it stamps the address and coordinates onto your photos and videos, so it needs GPS access to work as advertised. The microphone permission is less obviously necessary for still photos, and several reviewers specifically question why a camera app needs it at all; if that concerns you, you can typically deny microphone access and still use the core timestamp-photo feature.

Why are there so many ads in Timestamp Camera?
Timestamp Camera is free, and ads are how it stays that way — most reviewers accept some ads, but a recurring complaint is that ads now interrupt video recording itself, cutting footage mid-clip when an ad pops up. A few reviewers note there's a paid option to remove ads if the interruptions during recording become a problem for your use case.
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

Why is the location or address sometimes wrong in Timestamp Camera?
GPS accuracy depends on signal strength, and several reviewers note that the address shown can drift or be imprecise, especially indoors, near multiple buildings, or with a weak network connection. One common request is a way to lock the address to a fixed location while staying in the same spot, which isn't currently how the app behaves — it re-resolves the address each time based on live GPS.
Great app. does what I need. Only part that drives me crazy is the inability to lock it to an address. Walking around one house and I'll get 3 addresses. Wish I could lock it in once im there and move around within reason.

Can I use Timestamp Camera without an internet connection?
Mostly, yes — GPS positioning itself doesn't require an internet connection, but reviewers note that reverse-geocoding the coordinates into a readable street address relies on network access, so without internet you may still get a photo with time and coordinates stamped on it but a less precise or missing address.
it's nice but should work without internet and sometimes it delays because of network
