Unfug

MetaDaten-Löschung nicht möglich.

Excellent Tool!

Please do not forget, in order to add information, you need to edit (!) the image in your iOS photo library and re-save it.

Only the image meta data will be added without altering the image itself.

Yes, it is the ellipsis button (!) in the upper right corner — once you have entered the iOS image editing view.

In options, choose “Exify”, enter your data and re-save.

Ahhhh, — yes, I know… ;-)

Good information up front

I found this gave me quick access to basic information that the iPhone should have as part of its operating system, information about image dimensions. What would make this better fit me is a greater magnification. It goes to 4x. How about going to 8x or 16x magnification?

Exify on iPhone - no go for IPTC metadata

I bought this app based on descriptions that IPTC data could be added for photos on one’s iPhone. Not true. I want my money back. Looks very good apart from that.

View EXIF data inside Photos!

Once you have the app, you can use its extension inside Photos by tapping the Share button. It’s great to see all the nerdy details behind your photos

Gute App

Die App gibt wirklich eine Menge her. Ich bin erstaunt, wie viele Daten beim Foto gespeichert werden.

Einen Stern Abzug gibt es, weil es keine deutschsprachige Version gibt.

No access to photo library

What’s the point if you can’t access your pictures ?

Funktioniert genau so, wie beschrieben.

Die Funktionalität ist wie beschrieben, auch die Möglichkeit von anderen Apps im Bearbeitungsmodus darauf zuzugreifen wird in der Hilfe erklärt.
Wenn diese App auch noch eine deutsche Übersetzung hätte, gäbe es 5 ⭐️.

Add GPS metadata not working.

With last version.

An ok app.

Great app but lists my phone as iPhone 7 Plus - my iPhone is an 8 Plus.

Share extension not working

This was quite a handy app. It still works if you open the app itself, but it was much more useful to use the share extension when viewing a photo in the photos app, but that seems to have stopped working in iOS 11 😢

Great app!

Love the app, it is really useful.
Feature request: could you make an Open With… extension for Photos? Would be a quicker way to find images as they seem a little messed up in the photo viewer?!?

Habe bezahlt, aber für was?

Im Netz heißt es man könne damit die Hintergrunddaten von Bildern verändern um somit z.B. die Reihenfolge von Bildern zu ändern. Die Wahrheit ist, dass diese App eigentlich gar nichts kann, außer diese Daten anzuzeigen. Was für ein Schwachsinn dafür Geld zu verlangen!

Needs an actual tutorial for cryptic UI

For the life of me, I can't figure out how I'm supposed to go about removing GPS/location data, which is supposed to be a major feature of the app. The developer website is zero help on the matter, it has a grand total of three items in their FAQ, it's no help whatsoever.

I'm also not sure how I'd go about adding a location/copyright/watermark either, if I was interested in the other "features" of this app.

Either this is a trainwreck of a UI, or they advertise functionality that doesn't exist. Edit: the functionality doesn't exist.

I have NO idea why Gruber thinks so highly of this outfit. App was a waste of money.

Hi John! Many folks have had problems locating this feature so we wrote up a short tutorial on our website: exify-app.com/editing Hope this helps!

No customer support

Provides useful EXIF data if you can locate your image!
Recently purchased the App and gave it permission to access my Photos library. The photos show up in the App but in random order. A sort function does not seem to be available. I have writtent to Iconfactory asking if there is a way to sort the photos but they have not bothered to respond!

Response from developer

Hi there! In the latest version we changed the sorting so the newest photos are at the top of the list (you can also use the Settings app to change the sorting to the most recently edited at the top.) If you want to access the Exif data from multiple albums, just use the "Show Image Information" Action Extension from the Photos app. Instructions on how to set that up are in the "iOS Extensions" screen of the in-app help. Hope this helps!

Bugs and oversights

In addition to the same issues others are stating. Other observations:

(1) Many photos in my roll aren't even showing up in the app

(2) You can’t access your albums. You can only see the Camera Roll and Favorites.

Great app, one minor bug

I was looking for an app that would allow me to easily add an image description to the EXIF. This app does exactly that. One minor bug: after saving the image description, the image appears slightly more saturated in color. I hope this is fixed in an update.

It does not work properly in iOS 10

Please update it.

No instructions for extra features

Nowhere in the app are there instructions to get the "extra features" to work -- removing geo data and adding watermarks. Those were the main reason I bought the app. Bummer.

Disappointing coming from The Iconfactory

I'm generally a fan of software made by The Iconfactory, but this app is clunky and slow, especially while attempting to access photos stored in an optimized iCloud Photo Library.
The app design is also pretty disappointing coming from a company that prides itself on beautiful, functional designs.
