### 4/5 — I love it when it works

*2026-08-13*

I love having a date on my pictures so this app was fantastic until Apple upgraded their service. Now it’s a hot and miss as to which pictures the DateStamper will work on.
I’m still waiting for that to be fixed and it’s extremely frustrating that it hasn’t been. Also, it would be nice to know what pictures have been stamped and which ones haven’t when it’s says it can’t stamp all the pictures.
Thirdly is there some way to get a hold of somebody on this app?  
I misplaced the info to contact someone

**Developer response:** Hello, yes you can contact me via the support button in the Settings screen or the contact link on the website. I’ll be happy to answer your questions!

### 4/5 — Ridiculous

*2026-07-20, version 10.1*

I was going to use this to date-stamp my photos before transferring them to an external hard drive (since that seems to wipe all date info) so I tried the 10 free photos and they seemed to work so I paid the $9.99 for unlimited. Now when I go to send a photo in a message, the application stops responding and I have to force-quit. When I drag a few to the external hard drive, they are all HEIC files and have to be converted to PDF’s one by one! If I select a few to export at one time as PDF’s they export as ONE file. There is no option to export them as JPGs. This is all after I waited 6 hours today for all the photos to be stamped. What a disappointment! ** Revision 7/19 - developer reached out to me explaining the photo format stays the same as it was originally. I also found that later the dates pushed through to my Photos, which was a pleasant surprise. Complaints resolved and the developer clearly cares about user satisfaction! 5*

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-07-08*

It needs to have EXIF write capabilities so when you put info onto photos it writes it as EXIF. Apps already do this but don’t write the exif.

### 3/5 — I love it when it works

*2026-06-24, version 10.0.7*

I love having a date on my pictures so this app was fantastic until Apple upgraded their service. Now it’s a hot and miss as to which pictures the DateStamper will work on.

### 4/5 — Nearly Perfect

*2026-06-04, version 10.0.7*

Needs faster access to change the information it’s too hidden behind menus. 

Would love the ability to write keyword/description metadata to photos also. Shortcuts integrations would be a god send.

### 5/5 — Need some improvement

*2026-05-15, version 10.0.7*

This is the only stamper APP for MAC, Its good, but have some need to improvement, Its better the stamped picture file name arrange as date number plus some series number, so that will not duplicate, the second is the stamped file’s modified date keep its origin date and time, so I can view and print arrange as origin date and time. Hope can make the APP better.

### 5/5 — Exceptional!!!

*2026-05-08, version 10.0.7*

Much needed & truly appreciated for IPHONES THAT DO NOT HAVE “ dated” pictures options in camera settings

### 5/5 — ワンタッチがいいね

*2026-05-05*

無料で使えるんですね！納得の便利さ、言うことなし！！

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2026-05-02*

This is a brilliant app, a game changer if you need to stamp batches of photos with any text, in any style. Acceses the albums in your Photos library. Great interface.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review!

### 5/5 — An Essential Tool

*2026-05-01, version 10.0.6*

As a Contractor, dated photography is an essential communication tool for customers and attorneys alike.  No longer do I have to carry a special camera to employ that feature.

### 5/5 — Great Time Saver

*2026-04-26, version 10.0.5*

Dating and Time Stamping my documents for my employer is is so much easier now! I love this App!!!♥️

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-04-24, version 10.0.5*

No catch, no spam, works great!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-04-18, version 10.0.5*

I needed to date/time stamp my pics to document progress on a product I was trying. This app is perfect and easy to use. I recommend it.

### 4/5 — Use caption data as picture name.

*2026-04-17, version 10.0.5*

Why don’t you add an option to use the caption data as picture file name?

### 3/5 — i can't figure out how to access styles to customize the stamp

*2026-04-02, version 10.0.4*

i appreciate that the app is free bc I know devs put a lot of work into these apps so I hate to sound like i am complaining or ungrateful- i'm just giving you honest feedback. The ui isn't very user friendly, and i am pretty tech-savvy. I can't seem to locate where I can customize the stamp. I swear i have clicked every single button i can't find it lol!

### 5/5 — Руссификации

*2026-03-26*

Приложение хорошее . Только для полного комфорта не хватает русификатора . Чтоб на русском было , понятно будет .

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-03-22, version 1.0.3*

Great stuff

### 4/5 — Stamps the date, the location and a caption

*2026-03-20, version 1.0.3*

It took me a while to get used to how this works. It edits the photos in my Photo library - it doesn’t make a copy. Also, if I  want to change the stamp, I can do it by going into Date Stamper and having another go. I can add captions via DateStamper, or if I want to change the caption I can do that by stamping again with a different caption. There are good options for formatting the text. It works quite quickly. I stamped 165 photo in about a minute. What it doesn’t do: it doesn’t have an option for adding the file name (“IMG_1234”) as a stamp, which would be really useful.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Blame it on Apple

*2026-07-08, version 10.1*

After purchasing this app so I can stamp more photos I get an error that they can’t stamp due to Apple

### 1/5 — Works well before you pay

*2026-02-25, version 1.0.3*

I payed for the “unlimited” stamps and now just returns errors. Or stamps a two-three photos and fails tasks. Worth every penny!

### 1/5 — Pessima

*2026-01-29, version 1.0.3*

Ho pagato anche 9,99€ ma si blocca sempre e non assegna le date a più di 10 foto. Soldi spesi inutilmente

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-11-12*

После обновления перестало штамповать фотографии

**Developer response:** This should be resolved in version 10.0.2, please let me know by updating your review!

### 1/5 — Freezes after just a few pics

*2025-10-13, version 9.2.4*

While the app does everything i need it to do… what is the point of using it if i can only process a few photos before getting stuck or frozen? Happens randomly between 1 and 9 photos

### 1/5 — Нет семейной подписки

*2025-09-10*

Оплатила 899 рублей, так это всего на 1 месяц, да еще и нет семейной подписки. Приложение заработало денег, а я потеряла, так как мне оно бесполезно без семейной подписки

**Developer response:** Hello, there are no subscriptions in the app. There are two optional in-app purchases and Family Sharing is supported.

### 1/5 — Bad-doesn’t work

*2025-07-16, version 9.2*

Every other photo errors when I try to stamp photos, what’s the point of this B.S.

### 1/5 — Зря оплатил

*2025-04-12*

Добрый день. Было ограничение на количество фото, оплатил и все равно не смог 130 фото одним разом проставить дату. Прошу вернуть оплату.

### 1/5 — Add  24 Hr clock in post

*2025-01-28, version 9.0*

Difficult to add to my  iPhone SE… on my iPhone 8. I could hit edits, then go directly to DateStamper, then add the date and the time. Not able to do that with this SE phone.

### 1/5 — App Freezes a lot of

*2025-01-13, version 9.0*

This app freezes a lot when you time stamp your photos and upload to albums.

### 5/5 — DateStamper

*2026-08-13, version 10.1.1*

It’s the best! I’ve used it for many years now.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2026-08-13, version 10.1.1*

Superb!

### 5/5 — Efficace

*2026-08-09*

L’affichage de la date et de l’heure très simple

### 5/5 — Efficient

*2026-08-06, version 10.1.1*

This date stamper is one of the best I’ve had. I use it for business and the ease of the app allows for a quick date stamp.

### 5/5 — Works great :-)

*2026-08-05, version 10.1.1*

Works as expected

### 5/5 — Very useful tool

*2026-07-18*

Great if you need to use photos with EXIF data for delivery or evidence purposes or just to easily see the date / time / location.   For a casual user requiring only date / time and with the text positioned bottom right, the free version might be OK. The Premium version (£4.99) allows multiple positions of text plus location and a fixed piece of text also.  The app is very easy to use once set up.  Worth the extra for Premium, I think, and also rewards the developer.

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2026-07-07*

Funcionamento muito simple, ótimo.

### 5/5 — Date stamper

*2026-07-06, version 10.1*

Very accurate and wonderful!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-03, version 10.1*

This app is great since IOS does not give an option to stamp the photos. Just wish that there was an option to stamp in another color.

### 5/5 — Terrific app!

*2026-06-15, version 10.0.7*

I have used this for a few years and it has worked flawlessly.
