Summary

Phototag adds timestamps and location information to users' own photos. It helps users create visual records for activities such as diet tracking, exercise journals, study logs, and more. By making these activities easy to document, Phototag encourages users to keep track of their progress and stay motivated toward their goals.

Project Goals

1. Design a simple app for logging time and location

2. Create shareable images for social media

3. Establish an update strategy based on active user feedback

Establishing a clear update direction and release cycle was an essential factor in improving user retention and increasing downloads.
