## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-03-01*

Does not work on HEIC images, Sequoia 15.3.1 M4 Mac Mini

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2024-08-09, version 1.2.0*

Dragging images into app doesn't work. Clicking to open images shows image files greyed out so can't add.

### 1/5 — WARNING! Subscription paywall buried deep

*2024-07-30*

So, I downloaded this app specifically for the batch editing feature and went through the procedure of twice selecting the images only to get hit with the paywall AFTER I had gone through the process of selecting my photos. I can not STAND subscriptions and despise this nasty type of manipulation even more. Want me to straight up pay for your app? I’m happy to. But, subscriptions are a scam and you end up paying indefinitely and more money than the damned app is worth. So this app is getting deleted. Permanently.

### 1/5 — No success

*2024-07-07*

I am unable to drag a photo file into the application or even open one using the App tools.  Further, App Support is ony through X and I'm not an X user.  Disappointing.

### 1/5 — I Love It!

*2023-08-19*

Changes EXIF date easily! I've been using various programs on the Mac for years without a simple and a great user interface like this app. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

### 1/5 — Hasn't worked at all yet

*2023-08-08, version 1.1.4*

Wanted to change the date on photos I have scanned or reimaged. Have tried DNG, JPG, HEIC, PNG formats and it hasn't yet worked with any of them even though I paid to unlock everything. 
iMac is running Ventura so perhaps it is not compatible but it is useless to me.

### 2/5 — GPS tagging rubbish

*2024-01-22*

GPS has no search bar.    have to manipulate a slow map to locate pin where you want it

### 2/5 — Doesn't see keywords

*2023-03-28*

Unfortunately this app doesn't see and lets you edit the image keywords and the image title.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.
You can email me at kirill.aust@gmail.com. Describe in more detail what is missing, and I will try to add it.

### 3/5 — Easily Update and Adjust EXIF Photo Data

*2024-07-26*

Using this tool I was able to easily update, adjust, and change Exif data on my recovered pictures. I had  a couple of bad drives in my Raid 5 Array and had to recover some of my photos. After recovery my photos were stripped of Exif information. Using the Exif Editor Tool. Restoring the information I had lost was easily accomplished. Thank You!

### 3/5 — Simple, but odd selection method

*2022-07-15*

Simple to use with either drag/drop or folder open.
Once its read the files though, it doesn't use standard MacOS selection methods, so you're only option is to click each file one by one which is really laborious for lots of images. Using standard OS selection methods would be good so we don't have to learn new selection methods just for this app ;)
Doesn't seem to have an option to write back to file, only creates new files. I already have lots of backups, I don't need more so the option to overwrite would be nice.

**Developer response:** Thank you for such an extended review. 
I will try to implement these functions in the next update.

### 5/5 — Best exif editor I've used

*2023-09-03*

The UI is very intuitive compared to some ohter apps I've used. The main issue is that if you are doing batch edits you have to select each file individually, if we could do COMMAND A to select all images this would easily be a 6stars out of 5.
