### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2026-07-09*

Personal belief is if a developer does not update their app every so often that it should be removed from the App Store. This app desperately needs to be updated.

### 1/5 — Does NOT work

*2021-06-14*

Waste of a download.

**Developer response:** I can assure you the app does indeed work as explained in the description. 

Once a photo(s) is selected the geotag removal happens automatically when you share or save, there is no extra step required on the users part.

### 1/5 — Rubbish App

*2021-04-07*

Pointless, no functionality at all. Don't waste time trying this out.

### 1/5 — Needs Update

*2020-11-26*

Hangs incessantly.

### 1/5 — Not updated, freezes, broken.

*2020-11-05*

Can’t save pics.

### 1/5 — No Video as advertised - Scam

*2018-11-05*

No Videos will appear in the app and only a small percentage of photos. Do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Simply doesn’t work

*2018-09-24*

Have 14,000 photos in my phone or cloud, this app says I have 29 in my main albums, 500 in another and 60 in one more albums then 0 photos in the rest. So I can “deGeo” approx 4% of my photos. That’s not what was advertised.

### 5/5 — Fast, easy removal of location data

*2018-08-27*

* Allows single or batch processing, * Deletes geotags and metadata to ensure location privacy, 
* Allows save and share.

### 3/5 — Needs to be updated

*2018-06-09, version 3.2*

This used to work well, and now it’s hit or miss. Likely a result of 3 years without updates...

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-02-04*

It just crashes.
