## What is Exif Wizard?

Exif Wizard is an Exif app for your mobile device that translates the most commonly used tags into plain English.   It includes e-mail support, and an option to automatically scroll thumbnail preview images to the end of your camera roll or album!

We've tested Exif Wizard on photos from iOS devices, as well as many professional and consumer digital cameras to make sure available data will be presented properly.

Also included is a geotag map display that, unlike the photo-viewing app shipped with your iPhone, lets you focus on the location of one photo at a time.  There's also a button which allows you to open your iPhone's built-in Maps app to obtain directions to a photo's location.

***iOS 8 USERS - Apple's built-in "Camera" App appears to be flipping the "ImgDirection" tag 180 degrees from the direction the camera is pointing.  Exif Wizard flips it back for display purposes, but does not alter the original photo.

***iCloud Photo Library Users - If iCloud-stored images appear in Apple's built-in "Photos" app, but not in Exif Wizard, and you selected "Download and Keep Originals" in iCloud Photos Settings, then opening the "missing" photo in the "Photos" app may make it accessible to Exif Wizard.

***If you edit a photo in Apple's built-in Photos app, it may become inaccessible to Exif Wizard.  Reverting to original should restore access.

*** If Exif Wizard is not displaying GPS/mapping information for photos you have taken with your iPhone, it may be because you did not enable geotagging when you first used the built-in Camera app.  To grant permission now, from your home screen, touch Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services. Make sure the "Location Services" switch at the top of the screen is ON, then scroll down and turn on the switch next to "Camera."  Keep in mind that if you enable geotagging, people you transmit your photos to may be able to determine the locations where those photos were taken using any number of mobile and desktop Exif applications.

Notes: Some image editing programs, as well as some photo upload/storage services remove Exif data from photos. E-mailed and Web photos can be stored on your Camera Roll with Exif information by touching and holding the photo, and then touching "Save Image" on the action sheet which will appear.

## Key features

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2021-04-07, version 4.4*

Won’t stay open.

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2019-05-15, version 4.4*

Thank you for being unobtrusive, transparent, fully functional, and definitely the type of app that everyone should have :-) this app does exactly what it is supposed to do and nothing more. It is a very well-laid-out and highly functional piece of software. It does not bug you with ads, it does not bug you to upgrade; it simply performs the functions that it is advertised to do. If exif information is encoded in the photograph, it will read it… That Matthew is a very helpful :-) thank you

### 5/5 — Every Mobil Device should have this App

*2017-11-29, version 4.4*

This app is quick and clean in what it does.  You want to know the exact time and location of a photo? You can easily see that info.  

Everyone should know how much information is available in the meta data of a photo. 

This app allows me to share the info or to remove geo location for a photo of my family that I want to post on a social media site.  

This is a very useful tool.

### 1/5 — Too many Bugs

*2017-06-19, version 4.4*

When it works, it's great but over half the time it won't even load the photos in my folders.  Just shows black squares.  Plus the info for older photos is when you added them to your device, NOT the exit if the original photo. very misleading! Not ready for prime time at all. Save your money on the pro version. It's worse than the free version!

### 5/5 — Simple tool

*2017-05-25, version 4.4*

Downloaded a couple years ago, still works great. Simple and easy! No ads.

### 5/5 — Great information, no ads

*2016-12-19, version 4.4*

Worked great on an iPhone 6s on iOS 10.2. No ads were a plus. Purchase required to edit metadata but for just viewing it's great.

### 1/5 — New iOS 10 version not working

*2016-09-22, version 4.4*

Stopped working after updating phone to iOS 10. Still doesn't work after App update either.

### 5/5 — Excellent app and customer service

*2016-04-04, version 4.3.1*

Glad I chose this app.  If you cannot get your lat long to show on iPhone 6 go to :
1) Touch the “Settings” icon
2) Touch the “Privacy” table cell
3) Touch the “Location Services” table cell
4) Make sure the “Location Services” switch at the top of the screen is ON
5) Touch the “Camera” table cell (scroll down if necessary)
6) Make sure the “While Using the App” table cell is checked (touch it if it is not)
7) Try again

### 3/5 — Good when it works

*2015-11-15, version 4.3.1*

Exif Wizard is good when it works, but I've encountered a couple of bugs:
(1) I have an album of photos from Istanbul which contains 78 pictures, yet Exif Wizard says there are 0 in the album and obviously won't display them. I have another album with the same problem.
(2) Instead of going to the beginning of a large file, as claimed, E.W. only begins part way through and I don't see any way of going farther back.

If Exif Wizard worked as advertised, I'd probably buy the Pro version, but until they fix these problems, I'm not interested.

### 5/5 — Rather handy, accomplishes the task well

*2014-11-14, version 4.3.1*

Overall, I give a good marks.

The interface isn't slick like some apps, but it's completely functional and get you everything that you need.
