### 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...

### 2/5 — Oh Man , Darn

*2017-06-23, version 3.2*

No Video Support , and all I need is to remove a geotag from a video , now I have to go and find one that does , most annoying part, I searched on the app store for Video Geo Remover and you were at the top,,,what a headache .... Can't you guys update your app to support video? it's like 18 lines of code to support videos, are you guys lazy or just not thinking big enough? if you're going to be at the top of search make your app more awesome, dangit!

### 3/5 — App is good but no video support

*2017-05-22*

Warning: if you want to strip metadata from videos this app doesn't support it. Only the photos from your camera roll not the videos.

**Developer response:** We do not support video at this time but are looking at adding it to a future update. Please not that the focus of the app is on photo sharing and we do not claim to offer video support.

### 1/5 — App is awful

*2017-01-17*

This app is horrible you have to search for one photo at a time them save a copy to your camera roll. All manual all one at a time then manually delete the older photos. This is a great app idea but implemented in the most horrid way. So frustrating.

### 1/5 — Does not work as promised

*2016-10-30*

Only detected a few photos and with no clear information on how to actually remove metadata.
Disappointed.

**Developer response:** deGeo works with your entire Photo Library. Geotags are automatically removed when you save or share photos, there is no extra action required. We make it seamless, there is nothing you have to do just select the photo and share.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2016-08-03*

Works as expected to remove geotags and allows save back to camera roll. Only downside is that there's no option to delete / replace the original (tagged) photo automatically. But it's easy enough to do that manually since the untagged versions are always saved in the newest photo position on your camera roll. Those writing 1 star reviews should learn to use an iPhone.

### 1/5 — Cannot access most folders

*2016-06-21*

The app needs updating to iOS 9 APIs to allow access to photos in iCloud folders. Without that I can't use it.

**Developer response:** deGeo works with your entire Photo Library on device and shared iCloud albums.

### 1/5 — Garbage. Don't buy. I want a refund!

*2016-06-08*

Tried this app several times and it's garbage. You can only view a few of your photos and it's very difficult to use or understand. You may get this to work on 8 photos but then which 8???? Can't add more to the apps gallery. What a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Does not remove tags on photos on device!

*2016-01-27*

Only removes on sharing. Useless unless you only share via this app every time. One mistake, where you forget to use this, and the information is shared.

**Developer response:** deGeo removes geotags from the photos you ask it to by selecting them. It will not automatically convert your entire Photo Library.

### 1/5 — Frozen!

*2015-08-07*

Won't install and will not delete!! Do not buy!!!!

### 1/5 — Crashes when choosing picture

*2015-02-05*

App crashes every time I try to choose just one photo from my photo stream. Does let me choose by last photo taken but until it works properly I can't give it stars.

**Developer response:** This is an old issue which has been resolved. Thanks for your feedback.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-02-04*

It just crashes.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work.

*2017-08-27*

I tried to use this to post a picture to FB and the app brings up FB and then shuts down. Can't do anything with it. It was a nice idea though.

### 1/5 — Lousy waste of $.99

*2017-03-28*

Why would anyone pay for an app that only gives the option to work with the last 7 photos in your camera roll? When I discovered that was the case I thought maybe there was an in-app purchase that, after already purchasing the app),  would allow you to work with any photo in the camera roll, however that doesn't seem to be the case.   

Waste of money.

**Developer response:** deGeo works with your entire Photo Library. It is not limited in this regard. You can select any photo from any album on your device to automatically remove geotags.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Quickly remove photo metadata

*2015-09-29*

I appreciate deGEO: it helps ameliorate the ponderous task removing image metadata (EXIF, inter alia).

Rather than take time to open an image in an advanced editor, I deGEO lets me skip that ponderous middle step.

I recommended deGEO, and I h̊i̊g̊h̊l̊ẙ recommend the app "Ṿ̨̊̈į̣̊̈ę̣̊̈ẉ̨̊̈̉Ę̣̈̊̉Ẍ̨̣̊Į̣̈̊F̨̣̈̊". The latter's title says it all.

### 5/5 — I'm a fan

*2015-06-07*

This app is easy to use and does what it claims.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for

*2015-05-09, version 3.0*

Nice and simple setup for removing personal information from pictures before I post them for the world to see.

### 5/5 — More apps like this, please

*2015-03-15*

deDeo is a beautifully designed app, and does exactly what it claims to do in an elegant manner. Absolutely outstanding, award winning design. Who's award, you ask? Mine! I am completely enamored of the design and functionality of deGeo.

Attention all other app developers: this is how you do UX/UI. Learn it, love it, live it.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2015-02-22, version 3.0*

So easy to use and appears to work great!  Still checking it out, but this app is sorely needed.

### 5/5 — good！

*2015-02-17, version 3.0*

nice update！
if only i could directly view photo info and remove geo data from the default photos.app via extension！

### 5/5 — Not cheap, but worth it

*2015-02-16*

deGeo is a lean app with a clean user interface, and it does exactly what it claims to do without annoying advertising.

There are cheaper alternatives, but you get what you pay for.

Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2015-02-07*

What a handy tool for better online privacy & safety. I knew the app would remove exif data for me - I just didn't expect it to be such a great user experience in the process!  The shake feature (to get last picture stored) is perfect. And I love immediately seeing a picture before geo removal, saving it locally, then seeing the same picture without the data.  Allowing me peace of mind before sharing online.

### 5/5 — Worth the privacy

*2014-12-31*

Great simple to use. Clears all metadata as advertised
