Not Good For B/W Photos

This app compares photos by their total colour palette, which means errors for all black and white photos. Other than that it’s a good app, gets the job done.

Misses a lot of similar and exact duplicates

On first scan of all images, it missed a lot of known duplicates - less that half, maybe 1/3. I then duplicated 2 photos 3x. In each of these groups of duplicates, I slightly cropped 1 of the photos. I scanned all photos again and none of these photos showed up in the results whether I moved the similarity slider to 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or exact. What’s worse is that it has particular difficulty with any, mostly white, photos of documents even in “exact” mode. Some groups had dozens of very different documents. In checking other similar groups, I found some of the same documents as the first group i.e. the exact same documents were in several groups, but not in the same group. The app fails at it’s most basic functions.

Hopeless!

Hopeless
After a very quick scan, this app allows you to choose the pictures you want to delete but the catch is that your asked to upgrade to a subscription before it allows you to clean/delete .. not recommended at all.

Love this app

I love this app I’ve tried a couple of different ones they all wanted to charge a crazy expensive price to use it this one so far is been free and works amazing

Good potential - if it worked

Looks good, but “clean” button does nothing (yes, I checked the recently deleted photos)

Clean button doesn't work

Scanned photos, selected ones I wanted to delete, and then pressed "Clean". Button doesn't do anything.

It is not working

This app is not working , i made a purchase but it did not works , crash and can not delete the selected photos , ios 13.3
i would like to have my money back please

Worked great and then it stopped working

This has been one of three duplicate cleaners I use every couple months to clean out my photo library. It catches things others don’t catch and it’s variable similarity slider has been very helpful. My biggest issue with the app is that if I try to clear too many duplicates at once, it hangs, so I have to clear in small batches.

Unfortunately, today it stopped working. I was cleaning some duplicates. I did a batch and on my second pass, the Clean button stopped responding. I tap it and nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I paid for the app because it was so useful, but now I don’t know what to do. It just doesn’t work. A real bummer.

Did Not Delete Dups

I paid the $1.99 to purchase this. It’s a total ripoff.
8700 photos. Set to find “same” (identical). Found 108.
I went thru them all to visually confirm, and clicked checkbox on all but one of each dup.
Then I clicked “CLEAN”.
*****NOTHING HAPPENED****
No progress bar. No change to the screen or the count of dups. Nothing.
I’m on uptodate iOS 13.3

There are no “Settings”
There are no “Instructions”
There is no “Contact developer”

This should be removed from the Apple store, and the vendor should be banned.

Response from developer

Dear user, No worries we are here to assist you. As we mentioned at our app description Apple does not allow to delete photos directly. We can only move them to trash. Can you please check your Recently Deleted album. The photos that you deleted should be there. Settings and Contact features are on the way. We are working hard to release them asap. We can help you with your refund. Please send an email to aslanali90@gmail.com Best Regards.

Not working

Starts but won't keep running.

Start of a good app

This could be a very good app. The problem on the duplicate selection screen it’s not clear if you are choosing between a duplicate and the original.

Also it doesn’t seem to want to delete the duplicates as i can’t get the clean up button to work even though it’s done everything else.

Needs some tweaks..l

Concept is good. I honestly I can’t believe that apple doesn’t have photo cleanup built into iOS, so this app provides a helpful service. However, a couple of problems need to be addressed to make it really useful.

Scanning your entire photo library (mine is around 20,000 photos) takes a VERY long time, and it doesn’t seem to run in the background. Therefore, you have to stay in the app and make sure the device doesn’t sleep. I spent about 20 minutes scanning and then switched apps, and when I came back I had to start the scan again.

Currently there are only 4 scan options: scan selfies, scan screenshots, scan all photos for all duplicates, scan all photos for specific image. Need way more options to make the app truly useful. See suggestions below>

Suggestions for developers - (definitely would improve my rating if any were implemented)

1)”Scan by album” - it would be great to be able to scan specific albums. For example, I have a separate album for each year. This would speed up the scanning process

2)”Scan by date range” - filter to set start and end dates to scan. Also would speed scanning process

3)”Refresh scan” - save results of scan, and add refresh button so that you don’t have to rescan every single time

Basically, use available metadata to allow user more options to limit the range of photos to be scanned, and the run the photo comparison algorithm only for that subset.
