### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2022-12-29*

This app doesn’t work

**Developer response:** Hello
Please could you provide some more details about the issue that you are experiencing and we can try to help to resolve this for you.
Thank you

### 1/5 — Not  very useful

*2022-01-15*

Doesn’t give any location data.  The reason I downloaded the app was to get that info.

### 1/5 — No data found

*2021-10-07*

The app consistently does not work in new and novel ways.

**Developer response:** Hello
Please could you provide more information about the issue you are experiencing with the app so that I can look in to fixing any issues.
Thank you
Tom

### 1/5 — worst one....

*2021-07-22, version 1.7.1*

How can it be so bad use designed?

### 4/5 — Works in iOS 14 now but missing expected features

*2021-03-14*

It is nice, but missing expected features like sharing photos without location data and being able to edit metadata.

### 1/5 — Useless clutter for your iPhone

*2021-03-13*

Not only does this app not show any meaningful metadata, it modifies the picture opened in the app, leaving it with less tonal range, less brilliance, and less contrast. This would be a zero-star rating if possible.

**Developer response:** Hello
Thank you for your review. The app does not make any changes at all to the original image file that is imported in to the app and also does not make any modifications to the image in your photo library. 
This may be a different app that you are thinking of, or if this review is for this app, please could you provide more detail if the app is not performing as you expected.
Thank you
Tom

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-10-01*

Do not waste your money nothing about this app works, steals your money for download

### 5/5 — Very helpful!

*2020-09-08*

This app makes it very easy for me to see the info for my photos which is unavailable in the native iOS Photos app. Thank you very much to the developer for this app, and for making it so easy to use!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your positive feedback
