Very easy to install and very easy to use. It needs access to your phone's location data and requires a cell phone signal to get the code. However, if you are in a low cell phone coverage area, it will remember the location information and it will download the Geoverify code later.

Yes. I use it often. I searched the App Store and downloaded for free.
It's simple to use, but it's not required. And I mostly forget about it until after I left the location.. it's really simple, you almost can't screw it up, and it'll email the code to you if you can't save it immediately too.
I only use it when required by an MS company, then I have to make an extra effort to remember it. Instead I always use Timestamp Camera on every shop.
There are some MSCs that require the use of GeoVerify.

The only one is required it so far.

Some MS companies require Geoverify, others require Timestamp Camera.

I've had so many problems with Geoverify that the only time I use it is when it's required for a particular shop. It's not intuitive, produces the wrong coordinates at times, and hard to check in the field to see if it is being accurate.

Timestamp can have its own issues, but I can tell right away. I use it for almost every shop, to tell me my entry and exit times, and to mark timings for steps in an interaction, etc. If something is "off" at a location, the photos it makes are time and location stamped--so a manager can't challenge a photo by saying it wasn't made at their restaurant.

Timestamp is probably my most frequently used app for shopping.
I've had time stamp Camera give inaccurate addresses. Took two pictures in it of a Best Buy and walked about 100 feet between pictures and the address it gave I on one was no place nearby.
As to geoverify,, I only encountered that requirement once. After the MSC was unable to fill the job, it was for a male with a motorcycle endorsement, they agreed to remove the stipulation and I completed three shops..
@shopperbob, does this mean you're a motorcycle man? Do you own a Hog?
Susan, my reaction time increasingly fell while my age advanced, but I only rode three Hondas and a Yamaha until logic dictated it was time to park for good. In addition, the white and blue oncoming headlights were a problem.
I've never been on a motorcycle, but I did a Harley-Davidson shop once for a big bonus. It was such a a fun shop that I bought a pair of HD leather boots on sale!
