### 3/5 — Needs more objects and icons

*2025-10-21, version 4.0.2*

Needs more objects and icons, among other things. For example, “witch hat” should be an option. Choices are too limited. Other than that, great.

### 3/5 — 3 stars because I like the UI

*2025-05-10, version 4.0.2*

But the search feature doesn’t work at all.

### 4/5 — Quite good

*2024-12-08, version 4.0.2*

I installed this because I could find no way in the default app to sort photos in date /time order. This app does this.in Albums. However, I can’t see a way to do that in the whole photo collection -it may do I by default, but I can’t see a way to change what it sorts by (ascending/descending, date, name, when taken/modified, etc.).Apart from that, I like it.

### 3/5 — Great idea but lacking updates

*2024-07-22, version 4.0.2*

Came across this app by accident and it looked different to other photo organiser app. I specifically liked the idea of being able to automatically create “smart” albums utilising AI by searching objects, colours and text. Sadly, what sounded to good to be true turned out to be exactly that. 

It is very slow to run especially when trying to intelligently scan and index my photos / videos and even after a few days of periodically letting it run, it still hadn’t produced anything “smart”. It was also draining my battery and resources so I had to uninstall. 

I checked the app after uninstalling and can see that there hasn’t been any update in over a year so perhaps it would work better if it was updated to the latest iOS software but who knows as it seems the app developer has given up on this project which is a shame as it stood out as unique from the rest.

I rate it a generous 3/5 for the innovative idea and because it runs offline but it loses 2 stars due to the fact that it’s unusable especially if you have a large amount of data to process, the app interface isn’t very user-friendly and the layout needs improving and because it is very resource intensive when scanning which causes your phone to become painfully slow. It also crashes frequently. 

If you only have a small amount of photos/videos on your phone then give it a try; it might work better with less data to scan but for me it’s too clunky.

### 4/5 — Some improvements needed

*2023-05-27, version 4.0.2*

Experience some laggy behaviour on a 14 pro after searching. 
Would also be great if there was some integration with cloud photo providers e.g. google photos.

### 4/5 — Request

*2023-03-21, version 4.0.2*

Can we get video support please? Sorting them by file size would be nice.

### 3/5 — Can’t edit

*2023-02-26, version 4.0.2*

I love everything about this app except that I can’t launch editing functions with it. It would have replaced photos if I could. Instead it’s relegated to a neat search app I might use occasionally.

### 5/5 — A high functioning app with many features for all types of users.

*2023-02-23, version 4.0.2*

This app is very, very good! it comes in handy in organising your photos in a way that the native photos app doesn’t allow, due to limitations of iOS 16. 
The app developer is highly motivated and active with his feedback and constantly updating and adding new and improved features. 

I believe that this app is something all users should have in their App Library as it comes in handy to better manage your abundant photos in a style that’s severely lacking.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2023-01-31, version 4.0.2*

Great app

### 3/5 — support Arabic language

*2022-12-21, version 3.0.6*

Plz support Arabic language

### 4/5 — Used to be good

*2022-12-06, version 3.0.1*

It used to be a good, simple app to find text in real time using the live camera.

### 4/5 — A flawed jem

*2022-11-30, version 3.0.4*

I really like this app, though there are a few issues that make using it a tad cumbersome. There’s no double-tap to zoom, which is a must for photo apps like this. But more annoyingly, there are issues with the text scanning. It constantly froze, mostly on anime pics. I had to manually skip or ignore dozens of photos in order for it to properly finish the process.

If that can be fixed and tap-to-zoom is implemented, this would be my go-to!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-30, version 4.0.2*

Simple searches yield no results. A smart album, for Screenshots, returned a mess of photos that met and did not meet the criterion.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-30, version 4.0.2*

The object detection may as well be a random guess. Even simply things like car or dog it finds barely any and most of the finds are totally unrelated. Takes forever to scan and then still gets them wrong . Disappointing

### 1/5 — Useless app crashes

*2023-05-28, version 4.0.2*

The app crashes instantly - never opens. Useless until fixed.

### 1/5 — I updated and features were removed

*2023-03-22, version 4.0.2*

I used this app regularly to scan for dairy ingredients when buying groceries, today I decided to update the app and the camera was removed as was the lists of allergens! I'm sure the app has a lot of functionality for other users now but it's not at all what I used it for. This is why I never update things.

### 1/5 — Fourth update on crashing latest version

*2022-11-29, version 3.0.4*

Well, it used to be a great app, but this newest update will not run on iOS 16.0.2 (iPhone 11). The app crashes instantly and won’t open. I tried deleting and reinstalling with the same result. Update: The developer promised an update/fix would be available this week. The update (v3.0.1) still crashes instantly on open. I’m still hoping it will be fixed. It used to be a really useful app. Update 2: Developer says he’s on it again and working on fix and has restored access to a previously working version. I’m adding two more stars to my review for an app that doesn’t even work yet simply because the dev is really responsive. Once the app even works again, I’ll add more stars. Update 3. The latest update (v3.0.2) is still instacrashing on iPhone 11 (iOS 16.1.1) and thus I’m giving up on it and downgrading my rating to 1 star again. I’d give it less if I could since the app just won’t work. Never has.
Update 4. I'm starting to feel like Charlie Brown with Lucy and the football. Like a sucker, I fell for the promise of 3.04 fixing the crash and tried reinstalling the latest update. If anything, it just crashes faster on iOS 16.1.1. It's working ok on iPadOS.

### 1/5 — Update ruined it

*2022-10-10, version 3.0.0*

I'm so upset, this was an amazing app for using your camera to scan ingredient lists to find allergies. I sent it to my sister who has Celiac disease and she was SO excited to use it to find gluten free products and I was using it to find dairy in products. 

But they just updated to some completely different type of app, I can't find the dairy and gluten lists and it's completely useless now. 

You had a REALLY dope concept going on and y'all completely ruined it, I'm telling my mom and sister to uninstall it. 

Why do y'all take a perfect product and just ruin it??

### 1/5 — Works sometimes.

*2021-07-25, version 1.2.9*

Crashes constantly.

### 2/5 — Want to like this

*2024-11-11, version 4.0.2*

Keeps crashing though on iPhone 15 Pro Max with latest iOS.

Doesn’t seem to be able to make Smart Albums for videos unless I just haven’t found the way yet.

### 2/5 — Am I missing something?

*2024-02-27, version 4.0.2*

I give what I think are alleyoops and it totally can not
Doesn’t see “animals” as an object? I suppose they aren’t, right but still I have tried other searches that I know I have pictures of and it falls short more often than not

### 3/5 — Overwhelming work

*2025-12-20, version 4.0.2*

Just need a simple folder I can name and add photos to it. But much love for your app if it works for others.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Please add Arabic language

*2026-05-17, version 4.0.2*

Please add Arabic language

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-06-24, version 4.0.2*

Good app. Very promising. Needs a duplicate processing feature that lets me bulk delete similar redundant screenshots of text and photos .

### 5/5 — Good fit for Apple Vision Pro

*2024-12-30, version 4.0.2*

While not originally designed for the Apple Vision Pro (AVP), I’m having no problems navigating and viewing photos.  The app is surprisingly snappy and quick on the AVP and I really like the powerful smart album features.  I would love to see support added for viewing spatial photos in 3D on the AVP.

### 5/5 — Does what the description says

*2024-05-01, version 4.0.2*

No more no less. True gem of an app.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-12-18, version 4.0.2*

Thank you for making it free, I love the location tag and being able to add more than one location helped me keep organize with work photos, are you working on adding videos?

### 5/5 — Outstanding!!

*2023-11-21, version 4.0.2*

Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great organised photo app

*2023-06-21, version 4.0.2*

I’ve always hated how the photos app organised photos, if you’re like me then this is the solution!

### 5/5 — Seems like a powerful and well-made app!

*2023-05-28, version 4.0.2*

Seems like a powerful and well-made app! I am still exploring the features that are offered in this app, and have just started scanning some of my many thousands of images. But this app seems to offer some features that Apple is leaving out for some reason. Definitely download and check out.

To the developer: 
Could you add an option for the file type Tif? I wanted to make a smart album for any images that are tiffs but it currently doesn’t have that one. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2023-05-27, version 4.0.2*

Quinn Nelson showcased this app and it is spectacular! It helps me find photos (among 34,000) that I thought I’d never see again. Unreal.

### 5/5 — Great App, Great Developer

*2023-04-04, version 4.0.2*

Thanks for this app much appreciated. Hope it gets the recognition it deserves 🤩💫
