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 stört auch nicht die Tatsache, dass die Fotos unter „Zuletzt“ als neue auftauchen - das wusste ich ja vorher.
Allerdings verweigert diese App immer wieder ihre Arbeit und behauptet, mein Speicher wäre wahrscheinlich voll (ist er aber nicht!). Liegt es vielleicht eher daran, dass die Server des Entwicklers nicht erreichbar sind, um die „statistischen“ Daten zu senden? Selbst wenn das vom Datenschutz her unbedenklich ist, darf davon nicht der Erfolg des Umwandelns abhängen!
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.

It just works!

If you're getting error messages about free space, but you have the space, the problem's most likely you've already backed up to iPhoto. So the live photo's in the cloud. Delete your unwanted live photos before you plug in at home, or on a device that stores your full resolution photos, and you'll be good! Been using this app for years, couldn't live without it!

No “select all” option…?

I’ve got about 5000 I want to convert. No “select all” option means it’s going to take me forever 😅 I wouldn’t have paid £4.49 for it if I’d know.

Strips EXIF data

DO NOT USE IF YOU CARE ABOIT EXIF DATA like location, date, time, lens info, etc. I’ve used this app before and I thought it kept all EXIF data and just removed the Live Photo. It ruined a bunch of my photos which is disappointing.

All photo details gone

This app removes all the date and time information of each photo changed and that scrambles the order the picture were taken, I had several hundred photos that I needed to keep in the order I’d taken them and now I spend hours sorting them to correct order.

Doesn’t work

It will not process any of my pictures and continues to give me an error message. Don’t waste your $5!

If only it worked

Great concept but doing more than one photo results in an error even when there is plenty of free space. Makes the app basically useless

Does not work on iPhone 11 or iPad mini 6.

Not useable - all I get in the app are error messages that suggest I’m trying to convert too many photos at once (even when I select just a single image) and that my device memory is low (my iPhone 11 and brand new iPad mini both have plenty of free space).

Broken :(

Cannot convert even a single photo - error message says “not enough space”, though that is clearly wrong. Drat, this app sounded perfect!

Doesn’t work

How do I get a refund? I spent $4.99 he keeps telling me there’s not enough storage to convert my pictures from live to still. I have plenty of storage and it doesn’t work even when I do one picture at a time.

Waste of money

Waste of money I should have seen all the reviews are 1 star...Apple should remove this from the store...a rip off

Doesn’t work!!!!

It did clean about 20 images the first shoot I I stalled it, but after I stop!!! I have to clean then 1 at the time!!!! Better do it with Photo instead of paying for nothing!
Poor developer service!!!! They don’t even answer to post or emails !!!
Do not purchase!

Falls short

‘Bulk’ conversion requires the user to tick photos individually. 🙄This is not bulk.
While the new stills duplicates have the same date and time as the originals they will appear as MOST RECENT in your camera roll, and so they are no longer in the original order you took all your other pictures and videos. 🙄 This is bad.
After about 50 conversions an error message appeared saying there was likely not enough storage on my device. There is over 60Gb of storage available. 🙄 This is useless.
The app does not put the new stills in the same folders as the originals. 🙄Have fun putting 1000s of travel pictures into their folders again!
Waste of money.

DOES NOT WORK 😡

Only gives error message! WASTE OF MONEY. 😡

Doesn’t work

Says I need more storage space to clean up photos. The reason I bought it was so my photos took up less space. There doesn’t seem to be a point to this app. Also, I have plenty of space free on my phone so I shouldn’t be getting this message. Can I get a refund?
