### 2/5 — Hogs the photo caption

*2022-04-30*

When editing a photo, the caption cannot be changed. Please amend

### 3/5 — Could b updated to support the new formats

*2019-07-11*

This would be an even better app if it was updated to support the heif hevc format.

### 2/5 — Only if you really want to struggle

*2016-10-25*

App is not intuitive with respect to navigation

### 3/5 — Good app but ...

*2016-10-10*

This is a very good and easy to use metadata editor. It's big drawback is that it saves an annoying copy of the photo for which metadata is modified. Save to the original with the option to undo (no sidecar files, please) and get 5 stars.

### 3/5 — ProjectionType

*2016-08-30, version 2.37*

If we could add the metadata -ProjectionType = "equirectangular" here would be perfect

### 1/5 — No video support

*2016-07-05*

I specifically bought this to change the date on videos. There is no video support. Since I was unable to try it out beforehand, I have no other option but to submit this review and wish I didn't have to pay 2.99 to find this out.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2016-01-17*

Spotty performance, authors not keeping up with system updates, updates of the app are far and few in between. When it does work, it does what it says, otherwise, it messes up constantly. Saves the wrong picture in the wrong place, confusing GUI, nothing flashy, plain. I suggest looking for something else, I know I am.

### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar!

*2015-07-20, version 2.34*

Hat man mehrere tausend Bilder gespeichert, ist es mit dem mikrigen Übersichtsfenster praktisch nicht möglich etwas zu finden. Die Navigation innerhalb der App ist miserabel, ständig muss man die App verlassen und neu starten. Dafür auch noch Geld zu kassieren, ist eine Frechheit!
Fazit: Finger weg!!!

### 1/5 — FAIL

*2015-06-29*

Doesn't see exif data that other exif viewers can and/or substitutes random data (like for location). This (obviously) renders it completely useless. I'm disappointed, because it promised to do exactly what I needed, which is copy the data from one photo to another. Alas…

### 3/5 — OK, but not enough.

*2015-02-07*

I bought this app hoping to add the metadata so that I could give my images titles/descriptions and such which would be retained and uploaded to Facebook and the like.
Doesn't work for that.
Image data appears to be saved and viewable only within the app itself, which for me is practically useless.

I haven't really used it for removing the GPS data; which the description says is very useful.  I can see that it will do that; but I don't know if that stripped data will stay with the image once it's uploaded to a social networking site; which is surely why you would use that feature.

I will have to test that and see if it works; but really I didn't buy it for that, so I'm disappointed.

### 1/5 — Don't Waste Your Money

*2014-09-14*

You cannot edit exif data only delete and remove data.

### 2/5 — Doesn't edit video meta

*2014-06-14*

Wish the info would have specified photo edits only. Bought for video, but this app won't read those file types.

### 4/5 — App works well but a bit pricey.

*2014-04-06*

This application works very well for copying and pasting EXIF info from one photo to another but the price is currently high when compared to other apps which can do the same thing.  It is a clean interface and seems like the DEV set out to do only one thing and coded it well.

### 1/5 — Error

*2026-05-08*

This happens trying to open a standard jpeg image -

Error
Only JPEG files are supported. The selected file's format is: '(null).

### 1/5 — good in theory, but bad in practice

*2026-02-21*

Edited IPTC data are not saved!
I will add 4 stars when this issue is fixed (yes indeed, if this issue is fixed, the app becomes very powerful)

### 1/5 — Leider ohne Funktion

*2019-01-22, version 2.40*

Die App wird anscheinend nicht richtig installiert, jedenfalls taucht sie im Einstellungs-Menu (ipad mini) nicht auf.
Beim laden eines Bildes wird auf die Ortungsfreigabe hingewiesen, auch da ist die App nicht vorhanden.
Schade, mich wundert, dass es so etwas in den Store schafft.
Null Sterne, leider!

### 1/5 — Funktioniert einfach nicht

*2019-01-22, version 2.40*

Ich habe diese App eigentlich gekauft, um die EXIF Infos meiner iPhone Videos zu editieren. Gut, wer nicht lesen kann, ist selber schuld: es lassen sich nur Fotos editieren. Videos werden in der App gar nicht angezeigt. 
Das Problem ist aber, dass auch beim Editieren von Fotos nur die Fehlermeldung kommt, dass nur jpeg unterstützt wird und sich dann die App zum Homebildschirm zurück begibt. Es lässt sich kein einziges Foto editieren. Fazit: 2,29€ zum Fenster rausgeschmissen!

### 1/5 — Не работает под ios 12

*2018-10-29, version 2.39*

Не работает под ios 12

### 1/5 — We can’t modify EXIF

*2018-05-23, version 2.39*

All is in the title. We can’t modify EXIF, it juste create a new file.
If you search a software to modify the original picture, go your way.

### 1/5 — Bearbeiten ja , speichern nein!

*2018-02-06, version 2.39*

Wie es schon oben steht man kann alles bearbeiten! Nur kann es dann nicht gespeichert werden, zumindest bei mir! Daher total nutzlos!

### 1/5 — Не работает!

*2018-01-11, version 2.39*

Не качайте, прога не работает;((

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2017-12-16*

Save your $2 bucks, this app doesn’t work for cr*p and there doesn’t seem to be any way to get your money back. iPad 10.5 with iOS 11 .  App opens photos but will NOT save exif changes.

### 1/5 — Unable to editor exit data

*2017-10-28*

Running iOS 11.1 and I am unable to edit the exif data. Shame.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2015-11-25*

I edited a photo, changed the date fields (all three of them), and the photo showed up at the proper position in the "moments" timeline, reflecting the date that I had set. 

The one field you can't change however, is the TITLE of the photo - so in the "camera roll" section of the photos app, the photo will appear wherever it first appeared when you first added that photo to the camera roll.  That's because in "Camera Roll" the photos are sorted by their names and every time you add a photo to it, by whatever means, that photo gets a new name, namely, the next higher number than the photo before it.

In "Moments" however, the photos are sorted by date and this app allows you to change the date (along with a whole host of other metadata) such that the photo will then appear in the timeline that you set for it.

I have not yet experimented with gps data.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2014-05-03*

Get rid of the ridiculous amount of metadata that gets slathered all over photos. With some photo/video editing apps requiring things like location services, take control of your data by quickly removing all identifiable information. 

So happy this app is here and all of my public photos get ran through this app. 5👌

### 5/5 — Genau das habe ich gesucht

*2014-03-11, version 2.1*

Nach etlichen Apps hab ich endlich diese hier gefunden. 
Sehr einfach gehalten. Macht genau was die soll. Man kann alle Daten einsehen und bearbeiten.

### 5/5 — Genau was ich gesucht habe!

*2014-02-25, version 2.1*

Super! Das hab ich gesucht und für den Computer nicht gefunden. 
Nach Bildbearbeitung mancher Apps sind die EXIF Daten nicht mehr korrekt. Hiermit kann ich die Daten eines Fotos in ein anderes übernehmen. Echt toll!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-11-01*

This is a great little app - does exactly what it says it does and very easily too. I like to keep my photos in date order and sharing a lot of photos by photo streams this is not always possible. Being able to edit photos straight on my phone is really useful.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-07-31*

Easily allows you to view photo exif data and remove if necessary.

### 5/5 — I like it when apps do what I need them to do.

*2013-01-09*

I needed an app that would allow me to edit the date of a photo I took on my iPhone. This app did exactly that for me but it does much more.

It's important for me to find apps that have been updated within 6 months. Anything older I really don't want to see. This app was updated recently updated and is compatible with iOS 6 and iPhone 5.

I'm happy with my purchase.

### 4/5 — Very good App for removing/altering metadata

*2018-05-31*

I was surprised to not see any reviews, so
Here goes: I keep this app in my photo toolbox. Being able to remove or modify metadata is important to you. Example: post to social media, but remove the GPS coordinates of your house. Or you want to add info, like the photo author. The only drawback is there is another App called EXIF viewer. I have both, but I really only want one app to do it all. This would be the one I want.

### 4/5 — iPhone X support?

*2017-11-12*

When will you add iPhone X support? Black bazels are annoying.

### 4/5 — Praktisch und ohne Schnickschnack

*2017-07-06, version 2.38*

Die App erfüllt ihren Zweck perfekt: EXIF Daten von Fotos anzuzeigen und zu bearbeiten. 

Sie könnte optisch etwas gefälliger sein: statt durch die lange Liste der Parameter zu scrollen, könnten diese in verschiedene Bereiche zusammengefasst werden. So ist es etwas umständlich, führt aber genauso zum Ziel. 

Eine App, die jeder auf dem iPhone haben sollte!
