The two edges of this sword: All of the functionality worked in the previous edition of the app without the “mandatory” account. The upshot of this is, if you grab an APK of the previous (3.2.40.36) version of the app it still works just fine sans account, because the requirement is completely artificial and your camera’s hardware has not changed.

Thank you for confirming! I do this with the GoPro Quik app, and I’d have no problem doing it here.

I have a Sony compact camera with built-in GPS. The newer models require the app for live geotagging. These are the games I refuse to play.
