  • Very good

    New application and the authors are very responsive to any problems. We're using it regularly to show shooting patterns to improve workflows.

    (Could do with being a little more expensive to be honest. It's current price is a bit of a bargain.)
  • struggling

    I am struggling to get any data out of this app. I am attempting to read mulitple types of raw files from Canon, Nikon and Fuji and keep getting results that show no data.

    UPDATE - found out that this app is not reading data from external drives. If I move the folder of images to my desktop it works as advertised

    UPDATE #2 - the developer has been responsive and has pushed multiple updates out since my intial review and has fixed all issues that I originally had with the software.

    Hello. Thanks for raising this. We've tested this on a LaCie 4TB hard drive (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) and a LaCie SSD also without issue. We've also spoken to users who have imported from off-machine storage too. We'll look into why you may have an issue on your setup, and resolve the problem.
  • Great App worth a look!

    This is a powerful app that lets you analyse your photo libraray just for interest in so many ways. You can see which focal lengths you favour or see how lazy you are taking too many shots in Program mode. How much do you use which camera. It just may alter the way you approach your next shoot. Its a fun app which I know is evolving. The early criticisms have been addressed, it is responsive and works well.

  • Nice way to visualize EXIF data

    This application has come a long way since its debut a few weeks ago. The author has dramatically sped it up and fixed numerous teething issues that I encountered when analyzing my 150k photo library.

    The current version is commendably fast when accessing files over SMB/AFP on a Synology NAS.

    I do analyze metadata in Lightroom, but I really like the CSV output of PhotoStatistica and the ease of which one may correlate EXIF data points.

    I'm hoping the author continues to make optimizations to speed analysis of large libraries, and I can think of many more interesting ways to visualize, display, and output the data, but this is still a strong work with a lot of potential, and I am finding it very valuable in evaluating and curating my library.

    I think it’s well worth the price.

  • Getting there

    The developer is responsive.

    The program works over a network.
    I got it to do 2 things:
    1. Look at what lenses to buy with my new camera system.
    2. Figure out how I shot during periods of time when I was really happy with my work.

    I was surprised at the data.

    Thank you for the feedback - I can assure you were are writing to help files, and will publish them soon!
  • Overall great program

    Very good program for some much needed analysis of my shooting habits etc. Had some issues with blank data but it appears the Dev's have patched this. Otherwise clean UI and easy to use.

    Hello! Thank you for this feedback. v1.0.3 has fixed a bug that stopped Nikon Lens Model data being shown. I hope this helps you. Kind regards.
  • Great Photography Utility

    Wonderful little utility for digging into your photography habits and seeing what your tendancies are. In particular I'm finding it useful to see which focal lengths I use most frequently as I contemplate some lens upgrades.

    There's still a few small bugs to iron out, but given the rate at which they're falling and the responsiveness of the developer I'm sure they'll be taken care of shortly. Overall very polished for such a young app.

  • Interesting

    It's a pretty cheap app that does some pretty nifty stuff, so it's hard to be too critical. I will, however, echo the complaint regarding being unable to resize the window horizontally. It's not a huge deal on a 27" iMac, but, I mean, one of the main appeals of macOS is being able to have multiple windows and resize them all, so I think that the devs should spend some time polishing up their UI a bit in coming versions.

    Hello thanks for the feedback. The resize window issue is fixed in a v1.0.1. Kind regards,
  • 150K Images and it's pretty darn fast

    Only had one crash and that was when doing Y & X-Axis. Nice that CSV Export is possible which was super nice for extended manipulation of data and tables. Finally, a feature requset would be reverse geo-coding where it puills Lat, Long from all images and analyzes travel trends over the years. Would need a lot of extra work but would be great to visualize this.

  • Photostatistica - sloow...

    I suppose that I shouldn't be surprised at a product only costing £3 as you always get what you pay for. I found that it constantly hung up, even on my brand new 64Gb RAM 27" iMac. Everything just took so long to do that eventually I just gave up. Great idea but needs the bugs sorted.

    Developer Response

    UDPATE - we've just released 1.0.3 that addresses the stability issues the app was having. We hope that you are able to use this app - as we are committed to enhancing it further. Original - Hello, thank you so much for the feedback. We've just released a small update which should resolve this and make the filter interface less sluggish. We're committed to improving and expanding this app, so please let us know of any other ideas.
