User reviews

Waste of money

I should have read the reviews first. I want my money back.

Avoid this app! Good idea but waste of money

Awful execution of a good idea.
The size of the photos remains the same! That defeats the whole idea of converting from live to single photo.
In addition, the app deletes all the meta data, such as location, data and time.

Problematischer Datentransfer

Was die App macht, ist sehr gut. Eigentlich!
Mich stรถrt auch nicht die Tatsache, dass die Fotos unter โ€žZuletztโ€œ als neue auftauchen - das wusste ich ja vorher.
Allerdings verweigert diese App immer wieder ihre Arbeit und behauptet, mein Speicher wรคre wahrscheinlich voll (ist er aber nicht!). Liegt es vielleicht eher daran, dass die Server des Entwicklers nicht erreichbar sind, um die โ€žstatistischenโ€œ Daten zu senden? Selbst wenn das vom Datenschutz her unbedenklich ist, darf davon nicht der Erfolg des Umwandelns abhรคngen!
Bitte korrigieren!

Useless.

You can actually do what this app claims to by taking a screenshot.

Failure if not a fraud

It says I have no Live Photos to fix, which is wrong. I have 1322, which it ignores. There are ZERO instructions, so app does nothing. Do not buy. Disgusting that Apple allows this in the App Store, and Apple should allow refunds. If no stars were available option that is what this app deserves.

FAQ

What does Lean do?

Lean helps you save space on your iPhone by converting your Live Photos into standard, non-live photos. It effectively removes the "Live" part of the photo, creating a regular image that takes up less storage.

How does Lean save space?

By converting Live Photos into normal photos, the app significantly reduces the storage footprint. Live Photos contain both a still image and a short video clip, whereas a normal photo is just the still image, thus saving considerable space, especially on devices with limited storage.

Does Lean remove my original Live Photos?

No, Lean is designed to be defensive with user data. Before deleting the original Live Photo, it ensures that a copy of the normal photo has been successfully created. This prevents any accidental data loss.

Does Lean preserve photo metadata?

Yes, Lean saves the converted normal photo with the exact same metadata as the original Live Photo. This includes important information like EXIF data and GPS location, ensuring your photos retain their original details.

Is Lean compatible with all iPhones?

The app is designed for iPhones, specifically targeting users who want to manage their Live Photos to save storage. While the description doesn't specify iOS version requirements, it's generally intended for modern iPhones that support Live Photos.
