It simply does not work

Tried to use it to change data and location on some film scans, and it simply does not work. The copies it makes don’t have the metadata applied and replace doesn’t work either. Skip it. Or if you have claude, use that to edit the metadata.

MADE ME PAY AFTER SAYING FREE TRIAL

0/10 wouldn’t recommend. I just downloaded and despite them offering me a 7 day free trial they still charge me for a month but it says my trial ends in 7 days! And there no contact info!

Intuitive, reliable and exactly what I needed

Over the years, a handful of my photos ended up with corrupted or missing EXIF metadata after moving them between computers, Flickr, and OneDrive. Copilot recommended Metapho, and I’m glad it did — this app is outstanding.

The moment I opened it, everything felt intuitive. Metapho makes it easy to remove metadata entirely or to add and edit date, time, and location information with precision. It works exactly as you’d hope, without any fuss or hidden complexity.

One of the best touches is the 7‑day trial. It’s generous, practical, and shows real confidence from the developer. Bravo for offering a try‑before‑you‑buy experience that respects the user.

Metapho has quickly become one of my most trusted photo tools. Highly recommended.

Meta RayBans

Does not remove metadata from Meta Raybans for Instagram. The videos still appear with the spin affect turned on, which can only happen if the footage is detected as MRB.

File organization

Would benefit to have more options to filter and organize by date, date created, modified, or open among other options

Why?

Listen, I love this app. I find it very useful. I'm giving you 5 stars.… but WHY are the thumbnails in the date edit function so TINY!?

It's incredibly difficult to see what's going on in a bunch of pics taken in similar locations.

Please, I love the scrolling function, I just need the thumbnails to be at least 2x the size.

Thank you and good health to you and your families.

Great app from a great developer

Highly recommended.

Stop Asking Me to Leave A Review

I just want to use the app and stop being pestered with “Leaving a Review” I give 5 stars but am giving the 1 star to hopefully have them change this insanely annoying feature.

Crash bandicoot

Stops working every time I try to use it

iPhone purchaser? Sorry, fork over another $60 to make this work on Mac.

No, I don’t think I will.

Great app but with the release of iOS 15, pro is unnecessary

Bis jetzt konnte man die pro Features nur auf Mac OS benutzen da sie dort von Apple eingebaut wurden und es diese bei iOS nicht gab. Jetzt mit der Einführung von iOS 15 kann man sowohl ein Datum ändern als auch einen Standort hinzufügen/ändern, deswegen ist die pro Version leider jetzt sinnlos.
Die App ist jedoch auf jeden Fall weiter zu empfehlen da sie viele coole Features anbietet welche auch sehr nützlich sind, jedoch würde ich niemandem empfehlen Geld für die pro Version auszugeben.

Previously Free Features Paywalled Now

Used to love this app for quick metadata editing and for removing location tags. But just found out that this feature is now locked behind a SUBSCRIPTION. I use this maybe once a year and now this app is completely USELESS to me. Terrible decision by the developers. Just deleted it. Bye Felicia.

Perfect photo Metadata app

Definitely 100% worth buying

I bout the lifetime license. Never able to recover it.

Waste of $

What it does: Removes all photo metadata (GPS, timestamps, camera model, EXIF data) How: Open app →

A Really Great Utility

First, a wishlist item: A share extension for Metapho for macOS is something I would enable and would love to use. Not having a share extension when I’m already working with an image in any app including Photos and Preview and others pushes me to Finder a bit too often. Not a deal breaker, just a nice to have if it can be done.

Next, a quick review: This utility is perfect for managing data in files from Finder or from within Metapho without having to open them one at a time in Adobe or Affinity. Metapho does what I need it to do quickly and easily on my MBP, iPhone and iPad.

The developer is friendly, exceptionally quick to respond, and fast to push fixes out after a bug has been confirmed.

Get it for iOS and iPadOS too where it works just as great and is just as useful.

Poor UI

I used to enjoy it and underlay functionality is good but now the UI is really difficult to navigate. Basically impossible to understand how to find a picture in your camera roll or albums to bring it in for editing.. No icons, prompts or help
Importing a photo to edit is so fundamental it should have its own super clear control or icon.
I cant use it now and will cancel my subscription.

Does not save dates prior to 1968

Date op photos cannot be set to a year prior to 1968

Does not actually let you edit the meta data

Does not actually let you edit the meta data. You can only check whats there or remove meta data.
