### 4/5 — 4/5

*2024-06-09*

It’s AMAZING ONLY THING IS TJAY IT SELETS ALL OF THE PHOTOS BIT JUST THE NOT JUST THE SIMILAR ONES

### 4/5 — Great little app

*2024-01-09, version 1.05*

Love this app. Does what it says it does without any unnecessary crap.

If I could ask for improvements, I’d ask for the ability to perform bulk actions and an improved user interface — the current one can feel clunky at times, even if perfectly functional. 

Would be more than happy to make a one time payment for a more capable version of the app too, just don’t make it a subscription, please!

### 4/5 — Not what I expected

*2023-12-05*

Great concept, very good app but I wasn’t expecting to go through pictures that I still wanted to keep. I was hoping to delete photos without going through them all and killing my battery in the process.

### 5/5 — Bueno

*2022-05-16*

Bueno

### 5/5 — Great free app

*2022-05-07*

I love this app and glad i found it! It does what it supposed to

### 5/5 — perfect!

*2021-12-22*

Amazing app. Does what it’s supposed to, does it well, no ads, and no in-app purchases. Thank you for making cleaning my iCloud library so much easier!

Editing with some suggestions since I use this app a lot:
I’d like a feature where you can see the photo in context in your photo album, also maybe a mode for finding pictures of printed paper (im a student and have a lot of these)

**Developer response:** Thanks for such a nice feedback, so happy dodo does for you some useful work.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2021-08-03, version 1.05*

Really easy to use. Only one problem when similar and same photos in one group the same ones are not together.

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-06-07, version 1.05*

Better than others I’ve tried and really easy to use.

### 5/5 — Almost almost perfect

*2021-04-27, version 1.05*

I’ve given it 5 stars because it is so so close to perfect - if I could see info about individual photos rather than just the group - if 2 identical photos have different dates it’s easy to see the later one is a duplicate. Or if i could see which photos were live photos or gifs, I would know if they really were identical or if one was a still from a live photo. Without that feature I’m still left with loads of photos that I have to scroll through the photo app to check...and they often aren’t near each other.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app!!

*2021-03-29, version 1.05*

I tried a couple of similar apps before finding this one and they didn’t compare. I had over 17000 photos to sort through and this app was easy to use and free! Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Shar

*2021-03-18*

I preselected 30 photos I intended to delete anyway. I was amazed at how easily and quickly this Free dodo app functioned. So far so good; 30 done, 30,000 to go😁

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for feedback

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — .

*2025-11-20, version 1.05*

Nothing similar between the photos

### 1/5 — Froze on first use

*2021-11-19, version 1.05*

Frozen on first use.

### 1/5 — Need more Time

*2020-07-08*

So literally 3 seconds in After only deleting 4 photos I get bombarded with “rate this app” I choose “rate later” because I haven’t seen enough to rate it yet...this apparently isn’t acceptable, so it continues popping up after every photo I delete ..over..and over...and over! So you can imagine why at this point your app gets a horrible rating from me!

### 1/5 — Just shows every photo

*2019-12-31*

Don’t bother

### 2/5 — Good but Not I wanted

*2026-01-18, version 1.05*

It group similar photos rather duplicated photos.   Not for me at this stage

### 2/5 — Not what I neeeed

*2023-04-25*

I wanted an app to find duplicate pics. This app only finds pics from the same date…? Not even close to pics that look similar. Then it only allows you to “delete all”, it should delete all extra copies and leave at least 1 original image. 
Waste of time…

### 2/5 — not very good

*2021-02-09, version 1.05*

poor

### 3/5 — Does not compare all photos

*2024-08-20*

Only those from sMe day

### 3/5 — Ok!

*2022-02-19, version 1.05*

It work well enough but only seems to work on the main photo folder not on all my other picture folders or albums! So only a three. Would give five it it work on my Google photos.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-02-26, version 1.05*

Probably could do better at finding the same pictures across different date ranges but so far it’s the better. Would also be good to create albums from this

### 5/5 — By far the best similar photo finder

*2025-12-21*

It’s amazing how many apps there are out there that try to find similar and duplicate photos, but none match the ease of this one.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-01-19*

Love it, so much better than apps where you swipe and can only see one photo at a time. So easy just liking all the photos you want to keep and then at the press of a button the rest are deleted. Would love an option to sort my whole camera roll in the same way, not just similar and duplicate photos!

### 5/5 — Picture

*2024-04-14*

This is the Best app. for removing duplicate and it gives more space so give it a try and I guarantee you’ll love it…

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2023-12-27, version 1.05*

This app deserves 6 stars!! 
It’s free, fast and does the job!! Haven’t seen such a good app for a while. 

Also will save on storage money because of these guys, thank you!
