### 1/5 — Oops

*2019-04-11*

Does not work

### 1/5 — Total scam

*2019-02-26*

Photos just made by iphone and selected from camera roll shows nothing except size in pixels. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — does not show data

*2019-02-26*

no info shown, no location, no picture info
use Exif viewer instead if you want to see photo data

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-02-26*

I’m unable to get location and device data from my iPhone 8 Plus. Interface is very clunky.

### 1/5 — Don’t think the programmer understands meaning of Metadata

*2019-02-26*

I always want to have an app to see the metadata of my photos from my iPhone. After downloaded this app, I was not able to believe this is an app. The app only shows my photo size, file size and dpi. Some of my pictures were not even able to decode the dpi. GPS, no information was provided. I am wondering if the programmer understand what metadata is. Where is the data of the aperture, focus, iso, shutter speed, write balance, photo file number, photo actual size, and etc. I downloaded this app for free. It is good to test it for free. It is removed now. Not even worth to keep it in my tool belt.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-02-26*

There are so many better metadata apps available. This offers close to nothing. And NO location info. Waste of space. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Meta data NOT accurate

*2019-02-25*

Meta data NOT accurate. Showed a recent picture of spouse as being taken in China. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN TO CHINA! Your software is a piece of crap.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-02-25*

No location and No device info. Saw a review from a year ago that said the same thing. Apparently the developer has no follow through!!  
Apple, are you listening??

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2019-02-25*

Like the others, installed because it was free tried it and deleted it

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-02-25*

Every photo has either completely wrong location data or has no location. Totally useless.

### 1/5 — A Joke!

*2019-02-25*

Read other 1 star reviews, enough said. Sure glad I downloaded it when it was free, because it’s not even worth that much.

### 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?

### 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 — Not working iOS 14

Not working IOS 14

Thank you

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-10-01*

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

### 1/5 — Frozen Stopped working

*2020-07-18*

I open it up and you asked me if I wanna pick from my camera roll or the cloud / no matter what your top on it stays frozen. Fix plz

**Developer response:** Please make sure you have updated to the latest version of the app and please let us know if you still experience this issue.

### 1/5 — Not enough info

*2020-02-19, version 1.5.6*

Wher’s F Number,shutter speed, etc?

### 1/5 — Still not really usable

*2020-01-30*

It seems Hoppy Bird is the only one who likes this app. Unfortunately for me and like everyone else, this app is still unusable. Metadata is missing for multiple pictures where it shows up using other applications.

**Developer response:** Hello
Please make sure you have the latest version of the app installed. If you still experience any issues, please could you provide more information about the images that are not showing data.

Thank you
Tom

### 5/5 — Works as advertised; bugs regularly fixed

*2021-01-09*

Every app is going to experience bugs as Apple is constantly updating IOS. This developer has a record of keeping on top of them.

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

### 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

### 5/5 — Good file size app

*2020-02-20*

No comments! Always good!

### 5/5 — Read this!!!

*2019-02-26, version 1.5.4*

Ok so there seems to be a lot of people who are saying that you can not see the location. But that is not true!!! In order to see the location of the photo, simply swipe. There are four pages: first the page that lets you choose the photo, then the page that shows you the size, hight and other stuff, then the page that tells you the location, last (but never least) the page that tells you the info about the phone that took the photo. Also if it says NO DATA FOUND it probably is a screenshot. And even Apple can’t do that so why would this app be able to? I hope someone reads this so they can enjoy the app!

### 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.

### 4/5 — It’s good but

*2020-07-10*

Give us the opportunity to choose Google Maps in Setting, instead of Maps (by Apple).
That’s quite important!

+ 

Add it as a Extension, so that we can access via „Photos“ and the Share Button

### 4/5 — Works exactly as described

*2020-01-31*

Not sure how so many people can not follow simple directions. Swipe the image to the left and you can find the altitude and location data. Works as advertised. Thanks developer for a useful tool. As for the complainers... I wonder if the Internet is making some people dumber.

### 2/5 — No geotagging information

*2019-02-28*

App only shows pic size and no geotagging available in any file (yes it’s turned on in my phone, and other apps recognize the gps).  Doesn’t deliver what it says.

### 2/5 — Metamistake

*2019-02-26*

I took a bunch of pictures in Florida recently and metadata has located them in INDIA. ???
