Default Android app to remove all location data in bulk

Is there an android app which will remove all GPS location data from all
the photos in a folder?

The EXIF editors I have seen need you to go into an individual photo's EXIF
window and remove the location data for that photo. That is slow.


For a mess of photos in a given folder exiftool can remove all location
data (and/or other metadata) with a single command line instruction.
Very fast, too.

Say your photos are all in:

/Users/Jim/Pictures/TheRoadTrip

Go to that folder in a terminal window

//this is a Mac or Linux command; in Windows correct as needed.

cd ~/Pictures/TheRoadTrip

exiftool -gps:all= *.jpg

OR

exiftool "-gps*=" *.jpg

use the 2nd one if XMP is being used for location data within the files.

You can use it on raw files too (*.dng, etc.)
