Do you take photos on your mobile phone? While I don’t take all photos with my phone, I have to admit that I do take a fair amount of them with it. And then what do I do with them? I store them in folders according to the date taken. If I’ve taken a lot of photos that day I might put the place also. After that, I put the folder into a folder that lives on my desktop. It’s definitely not the easiest system to use, particularly if you don’t remember exactly what date a photo was taken. At best I will mark a folder with a location. I tried tagging photos once years ago and it was time-consuming so I didn’t do that anymore. Today, a new app called Picjoy can take care of that sort of stuff for you.
Picjoy is a free photo library organizer. Simply put, Picjoy automatically organizes your photos so you can spend your time enjoying them instead of trying to organize them.
To organize your photos PicJoy obtains information from your phone, which it then uses as a part of a complex algorithm to automatically create tags for each photo. Tags relate to information like the time, date and place that the photo was taken. Even the photos on your iCloud account can be tagged, which means that you can quickly find the picture that you’re looking for wherever you are. You can also create tags manually if you like. Plans to add other cloud-based storage including Dropbox, Google Drive, and Amazon Photos are in order for in the near future.

Along with tagging your photos, Picjoy also automatically gathers information such as date, season, weather, holidays, events, landmarks, and places, all of which make your photos easier to search. This is perfect for those times that you’re searching for something but only have a vague idea of the details. An example would be if you were looking for a specific photo from a snowstorm, but you didn’t remember which year the storm occurred in.
Another feature that the app has it that it helps enhance your photos and preserve memories by allowing you to easily add stories to the photos, from within the app.
How do you organize the photos you take with your phone?

Pic Joy sounds great to me. My teen takes so many great pics and then she just deletes them to make room for new when her memory fills up. Scandalous. I wonder if she would like this...
