### 1/5 — 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

*2023-11-07, version 2.1*

Not working 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

### 1/5 — It does not work!!!!

*2022-12-20, version 2.1*

This app is a rip off.  They take tour money, and it doesn't not even pickup exact duplicates!!!   Do NOT purchase this app

### 1/5 — Duplicate photo sweeper

*2021-04-03, version 2.1*

Constantly crashes.
I see no benefit to this add over the functionality on the google photo app.

### 1/5 — Constantly crashes on scan

*2020-08-08, version 2.1*

It always crashes on scanning at around 10%. Useless app.  

Update: still crashes after the so called fix and update. It now crashes at around 25%

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-08-08, version 2.1*

I haven’t been able to properly use this app because it crashes instantly.

08/08/2020: I’m sorry to say that even with the update, the app still crashes. I hope it’s fixed soon because it seems to be a useful app.

### 2/5 — Idea is good. Executive is poor

*2020-08-03, version 1.8*

I love the idea behind the app, but it crashes (iPhone X) after 15 seconds of scanning. Please fix!

### 1/5 — Duplicate your Memories

*2020-07-10, version 1.8*

Stops scanning photos halfway through. Useless.

### 3/5 — Seems to work well

*2020-07-08, version 1.8*

Works well, but please could the reminder popup be removed? After the first popup, I know that I need to delete the photos from my Recently Deleted album. I don’t need to be reminded every. single. time. I. delete. a. photo. This prompt really impedes the usefulness of this app. 

iOS also asks me via popup to confirm each deletion, but I expect you don’t have control over this.

RESPONSE TO DEVELOPER: The popup I’m requesting be removed is generated by the app: “1 Photo moved to Recently Deleted Album in Photos. Do not forget to delete them to gain space.”  This only needs to display the first time a user uses the app. We don’t need to be told every time we delete another photo.

### 3/5 — promising app, but it needs a lot more attention to detail.

*2020-07-07, version 1.8*

the bugs make me nervous that it could remove wanted photos by mistake. 

selecting photos is literally hit and miss. it works, except when it doesn’t, which is quite regular and annoying. 

I’d prefer to let the dev know privately about the bugs, but the app doesn’t have that facility. 

Cleaning out unwanted burst mode photos should be this app’s bread and butter, but there is a bug where 1 photo will be always selected.... it is like the app picks its own favourite (at random) and forces you to keep it. 

Also, the modal popup insisting that I delete the photo I just deleted becomes tedious. I understand the first confirmation dialog is forced by Apple, but the 2nd isn’t.

the whole point of this app is to make it quick and easy to identify unwanted photos and delete them, but the UI seems more focussed on getting your attention every time you do an operation. Instead of asking “are you sure”, a good UI will have the opportunity to undo any mistakes. The best UIs are as unobtrusive as possible.

### 2/5 — Lots of crashing

*2020-07-06, version 1.8*

This app keeps crashing
