What TagRoll does
"Okinawa", "family" — tag your photos in your own words, add a note, and you can narrow thousands of photos down by combining them. TagRoll is an Android and iPhone app that tags, rates and annotates the photos on your device, finds them again, and looks back through them by the day you took them.
- Find — Search by tag, note, rating, text in the photo, place name and date taken. Save a search as a smart folder, and photos you take later are added when they match. Text in photos is read on your device.
- Look back — Browse a calendar of the days you took photos, month by month, and open the photo from one year ago today together with its note. The notes you wrote that month appear under the calendar.
- Review — See blurry photos, dark photos and bursts side by side. For each burst, pick the one to keep and move the rest to Android's trash (on iPhone, to Recently Deleted). Pro.
- The first 30 seconds — Right after you install it and allow photo access, TagRoll starts finding food, text, places and more in your own photos and lines them up. It then walks you through naming one photo and tagging the similar ones in one go.
Free and Pro
Free: tags (up to 6 photos at a time), search, smart folders, the map, the calendar (back to one year ago today), export and import of tags and notes, and photos to review (6 blurry, 6 dark and 6 bursts).
Pro is one yearly plan. The price is shown in Google Play or the App Store before you buy. Instead of a trial period, you try the free part first.
- Bulk tagging — Tag any number of photos at once.
- Similar photos — See every similar-photo suggestion.
- Every photo to review — See all of them, and move the ones you pick to Android's trash (on iPhone, Recently Deleted).
- The whole calendar — Open photos from before one year ago.
- Tags stay — Your tags, notes and ratings stay after you cancel.
Three promises
Your tags, notes and ratings carry over through Android or iPhone backup and the file you export. Your photos themselves are not included, and a deleted photo cannot be brought back from them.
TagRoll only reads your photos and never changes what is in them. The only photos that go away are the ones you pick on the review screen, and they stay in Android's trash (on iPhone, in the Photos app's Recently Deleted) for 30 days.
Your photos are read and analyzed entirely on this phone. They leave it only when you tap Send. The only things TagRoll sends are crash reports and usage counts. You can turn them off at any time with the switch in About this app.
Keeping your tags
- Android — With Android backup on and a screen lock set, your tags, notes and ratings are backed up and come back when you reinstall or change phones. Backup runs about once a day, so a tag you just added goes in with the next backup.
- iPhone — Your tags, notes and ratings are part of your iPhone backup (iCloud Backup, or a backup to your computer).
- To be sure — Use "Export tags & notes" in the Tag manager menu to save them to a file, and keep that file. Import brings them back on another phone or after a reinstall.
