With the proliferation of GPS in handsets, it is easy to add the location of where a picture was taken to the picture itself. The process itself, however, tends to be a tad tedious, and more often than not, the location gets displayed in small text as part of a caption.
What if you wanted to highlight the location in a more prominent way? Well, you could use InstaPlace. Available for both Android and iOS, InstaPlace lets you add large location-based captions to your images. You can either take a picture from within the app itself, or choose an existing image. Once that is done, InstaPlace scans the area around to try and identify your current location using Foursquare and Facebook. It is not always accurate, but you can choose and alternative location if you are not satisfied with the ones chosen by the app. That done, you can then opt for an appropriate location-based slogan (“I was here,'' “Delicious”and so on). You also have the option of adding a filter to change the look of the photograph if you wish – not a bad option if you have taken the shot from within the app itself as it does not seem to support autofocus.
That done, you can share your image, complete with a slogan printed on it on your social networks. Some might say that InstaPlace is a limited app as all it does is add a location-based line to your images. You do not even get the option to edit the text on the image, although you can buy additional options, if you feel so inclined. The app itself is free, but comes with limited captions/slogans. That said, the app works very smoothly and is very intuitive to use. If all you are looking to add to your pictures is a sense of place, InstaPlace is the app for you.
