Rinse. Repeat. *2018-10-26* The easiest way to clean up your photo library after a day of shooting everything and the dog. UPDATE: Weird. I downloaded the app on a new phone, about a year after getting the phone, and this has changed to the Chinese version. No harm, no foul — just downloaded Cleen Classic instead — but you gotta wonder, “why the change?” ### 4/5 — organized four thousand photos *2018-08-05, version 1.8.4* The UI was just what I wanted, quickly swipe through photos and mark some to be deleted. UI could be polished a bit more, sometimes viewing an image and going back and forth created a bit of an issue. Also doesn't support panoramics or videos. Still got me through all the photos on my phone. ### 4/5 — Sorta fun but still time consuming *2017-07-05* The app is easy to use and sorta fun. I like how you don't have to import your photos into the app first but it just works with the photos on your phone already. When swiping, you have 4 options (up down left and right). But you can also pull the photos towards the corners. I think it should be a little more restricted to the 4 directions so that you don't swipe down and to the right when you mean to only swipe right. Also, you can't tell if it's a photo or a video. Videos are just shown as their first frame. I feel like you should be able to watch the videos in the app. ### 4/5 — Deleting..., *2017-02-16* ....crap n rubbish made as simple as deleting your friends list whilst being on your period ... whilst being amazed about what you managed to gather in the first place. Only missing Siri control maybe :) ### 5/5 — Great App *2016-05-08* Very useful app to clean up photos fast. ### 5/5 — Good apps! In time in needs! *2016-05-02* However i would suggest if you can come with an apps u can only leave with your favourite pictures then delete the rest. ### 3/5 — Doesn't work *2016-04-27* Nice concept as you really do have tonnes of photos you don't need to keep. Uses a Tinder-like keep or throw out. But only loads a limited number of photos at a time and somehow stops accessing your photos after a while. Bizarre! Three stars for potential ### 5/5 — Beyond a Doubt The BEST *2016-01-18* I have lived with a full camera roll for years. Despite my best efforts, it has seemed that whenever a photo worthy event has happened, I have had to quickly erase enough photos to make room enough to capture the moment-- and usually those moments have passed me by. Therefore, sadly enough, I have missed documenting most of my kids lives. Sad and pathetic but true. Enter Cleen. It has changed everything! I clean my camera roll frequently because it is so easy! I wish I had had this year's ago. To the developers: THANK YOU! ### 5/5 — Really Useful *2015-11-18* Great to get rid of photos you don't need on your phone and keep all your best ones! :) ### 5/5 — Makes clean up easy! *2015-11-13* The layout of the app forces the user to categorize each picture before moving on to the next. This makes for a really efficient & effective process. This is a great clean up app! The only improvement I would like to see is the ability to further categorize the "later" photos into folders ### 5/5 — STAR SAYS IT ALL *2015-09-18* GUYS ITS REALLY REALLY F. ONE OF THE MOST EASIEST AND COOL APP MAN. ### 5/5 — An essential photo app *2015-08-07* I was looking for an app specifically to clean up my camera roll. I tried several, and this was by far the best. I like that I can see the uncropped versions, since sometimes the composition is what makes or breaks a shot. The only thing that would make it better would be the ability to rate the uncropped versions themselves. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Redundant App *2020-02-18* Is your software that bad that you can’t just make an update to merge the english app the the chinese app into one? I don’t think i’ve ever seen a more ridiculously redundant app system. ### 1/5 — Doesn't ship to the UK (yet!!!) *2015-10-30* The photo book is for 40pages and apparently only ships the books to China or USA. So why is it on the uk App Store. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2015-04-19* I was very disappointed with this App! ### 1/5 — How does this f@@@ing app work? *2015-01-08* Swiped down to delete hundreds of photos from my photo library, but all it did was add them to a trash can that can't be deleted, and it just added more to my storage....now I have 0 storage available, and a whole bunch of duplicate photos in a trash can! FIX THIS APP NOW! ### 1/5 — Major error or glitch causing me to delete app *2014-11-25* Something is wrong or unfinished with the app. When I click on "photos trashed" or "photos faved" what I get is a long list of Japanese names that then show some sort of character description. Wouldn't trust this app with managing my photos, deleting it. ### 2/5 — The idea is nice - it’s not working well though. *2018-12-29* Having a library of more than 3k seems to trouble the app. The images which I want to keep are not always the ones which I am swiping over. It seems images are repeating, and the stack of images keeps flickering with other images. Seems still very buggy. Would be nice if it would work reliable. ### 2/5 — Did not work with Kingston mobile lite G2 *2015-07-26* I have the Kingston Mobilelite G2. It allows me to take an SD card from a camera and load all 5000 pictures onto my phone via a wireless devise to devise signal. My problem is sorting them takes forever. This app seems to work great for photos on my camera roll and sorting them to favorites, but it would be nice if I could open a folder from Mobilelite with Clean and then sort it to preselected folder(s) in either program. I don't want to load all of these pictures to my camera roll, then try to move them again later. Maybe it can be updated to do this? ### 3/5 — Could be PERFECT *2023-07-13* The only thing this app needs is a "shuffle photos" button. I don't want to start swiping to clean always from the latest photosin my camera roll. ### 3/5 — Incredibly useful, great value, but... *2018-02-08* I had the original Cleen app and loved it. I would have kept the original but it was replaced by this one. Overall, the app appears to be almost identical to its predecessor. However, the photo resolution appears pretty crummy in this version. The images often have that grainy/blurry "low-res" appearance. Perhaps they are being compressed at a higher rate to improve the speed of the app but I find that it detracts from the quality and makes it more difficult to sort through photos. For example, how can I delete duplicates that are slightly blurry if they all "look" blurry? This is the only app where this problem occurs. Perhaps include a setting for users to select high resolution (less compression). That alone would bring this review up to 5 stars :) ### 3/5 — Would be fine if photo thumbnails loaded *2017-11-26* But they don’t, so how can i decide which way to swipe? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 用过最好用的相册制作app *2020-05-18* 使用操作界面简单实用，排版设计简约大方，印刷质量不错，客服负责周到，试做了一册非常满意，紧接着再做了两册。旅游拍的照片终于可以从手机里解脱出来了。 ### 5/5 — nice *2017-10-18* nice ### 5/5 — Love the "decide later" function! *2017-09-02* The inclusion of a third choice: "Decide Later" makes this app way more useful than the dozens of other photo folder managers out there. You never have to fear that you've accidentally deleted the best shot in a series of photos. This app is pretty much a "must have" if you've accumulated hundreds of photos on your phone (which is easy to do)! ### 5/5 — efficient and intuitive *2017-04-17* with just your thumb, quickly send photo to Favorite, Trash or decide Later. Can delete directly but UI controls are well tuned to be practically foolproof, only a straight vertical pull would place photo into Delete folder, otherwise it is placed in decide Later. Unlimited undos. One touch to full display of photo. App is simple, light on memory, no bloatware nor ads. If you need meticulous inspection by comparing duplicates with EXIF, get TwinViewer. But if you need to organize photos into Favorite and Trash, Cleen is it. P.S. ignore the stupid reviewers, this app is so simple and effective, if they can't figure this one in 10 sec they probably can't change a light bulb either. ### 5/5 — A dating app for photos *2017-03-22* This is basically a dating app for photos. You can quickly go into it and swipe right or left to keep or delete the photos in your phone. You can easily go back and fix mistakes etc. This is by far the easiest way to keep your phone storage clear! One little add on, I wish there was a way to completely restart from the beginning of your photos even if you've already gone through. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2016-12-04* Finally can clean up photos easily! ### 5/5 — Clean app love it love it *2016-11-26* Very very useful app so easy so quick will be using this a lot Big thank you to Developers ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2016-09-05* Just spent 20 mins and deleted 1.2gb of photos and found many I had forgotten about. It's excellent ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-09-05* Everyone needs this because we can all be a bit too trigger happy with our cameras. The only thing I wish they changed is the preview not to be cropped. ### 5/5 — Awesome picture cleaning app. *2016-07-25* Better than flic, which is not 6 plus optimized. This app is clean and well working. No ads so far. Cleaned 500mb in matter of minutes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
