Why people switch
We read 602 one- and two-star iOS reviews across 11 timestamp and GPS camera apps (October 14, 2026). The most common complaints across the category were crashes and lost photos or videos (132 reviews), paywalls and subscriptions (86), wrong locations or addresses (79) and ads (63). These are category-wide figures, not about any single app.
CaptureSeal’s answers: no ads, location accuracy shown with every fix, captures kept in a vault and in Photos, and a seal that turns a stamp into something checkable.
When Timestamp Camera is the better fit
- You need an app today. CaptureSeal hasn’t launched yet.
- You only need a visible date on photos for your own records, and a one-time $4.99 upgrade suits you.
- You want its large set of stamp styles and a long track record.
When CaptureSeal is the better fit
- Someone else (a landlord, tenant, client, insurer or judge) needs to trust that a photo wasn’t edited or re-dated.
- You want a time that’s cross-checked against internet time, not just the phone’s clock.
- You want no ads and no account.
Questions
