Obviously I'm still new to iOS.
Looking at photos in my Camera Roll, I saw there was no way to see when a photo was taken. Such an obvious little tidbit of info! And there's room for it! How stupid it is that that was left out.
OK: now I need to spend time and maybe $ to find an app that displays what should've been there all along.
I hate stupid. :banghead:

You're so new you haven't even noticed that there's no way to tell what the actual file name is from within the camera app either. And if you're on a Mac for your connected device, you can't just natively view the pictures from the OS/chosen apps, you have to first import them from Image Capture which has NO preview mode and sports relatively small thumbnails.
The idea is you should do everything Apple's way and shouldn't get bogged down in messy details like file names or finding the right picture out of several similar ones in a list. Just blast everything up to the cloud and stop caring so much about all these messy technical details, man!

Yes gabester: it's gonna be a bumpy road!
Edit: I'm open to suggestions for a good, clean photo app that will at least display the info I'm interested in.

Try looking at the photos in the built-in Photos app.

There are several apps for transferring photos from iDevices. I use Photo Transfer App.

Go to the Collections tab. That will show you the day the photo was taken.
If you want full details, the iPhoto app for iOS is a good choice.
Thanks, but that only sort of works: it seems to group photos by week or a span of a few days. I'll look at iPhoto for iOS.
