The developers have advertised a free lifetime subscription during onboarding which went through as such when selected. However hours later they charged and took $49.99 via Apple Pay for the same lifetime subscription that was advertised and activated as free lifetime on top of the “free” lifetime selection ! Recommended to check your receipts! ⚡️ ### 1/5 — Bugs *2024-08-26, version 2.2.1* Swiping to delete marks pictures from the camera roll and shared folders but at the end pressing delete does nothing. No files deleted! ### 1/5 — Шляпа! *2024-08-26* Балаболы! Нет никакого промо, кидалово. Зря время только потратил. ### 3/5 — Trying out… *2024-08-26, version 2.2.1* I have noticed there’s inaccuracies when I change, remove, add to or override the photos selected to delete. Its not deleting the right ones reliably. Needs improvement! I see the need for an UNDO button because it’s very easy to accidentally hit the wrong icon. ### 1/5 — Shady developer *2024-08-25* Offers a “promo” for lifetime access to features but this circumvents giving it through the App Store which would allow you to restore your purchase. Once the promo is gone, you can’t use the code again and you’re stuck having to pay for access. This simultaneously gets people to leave glowing reviews and it boosts the visibility of the app due to a high number of downloads and good reviews from people that temporarily got access for free. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-08-25, version 2.2.1* SCAM ALERT!!! The app advertised a free lifetime version with the promo code "App Advice", but after downloading it I discovered that I could only delete 10 similar photos per day and that in order to remove more, I would need to buy the Pro version. Why was this information not disclosed prior to it being downloaded?????? I can tell you why, because no one in their right mind would have bothered to download it! The developer intentionally hid this information. Needless to say I immediately deleted this app!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Have lifetime version by promo cofe *2024-08-25* I have lifetime version with the promo code The app keep directing me to in app purchase Looks kind of scam or bugs Can not restore also 1 star to see if any fix ### 1/5 — Save your time *2024-08-25, version 2.2.1* This waste of time app is advertised as free on app advice. After wasting time going through the process as outlined, the App stops working and continually stops and asks for the purchase again and again. Garbage! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to restore Pro version *2024-11-25, version 2.2.1* It keeps telling me that there’s nothing to restore in spite of owning the pro version. ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2024-11-14, version 2.2.1* I RECEIVED A PROMO CODE BUT STILL WAS CHARGED FOR SERVICES NOT USED NY APPLE AND DEVELOPER DID NOT GET BACK ### 1/5 — Won't delete *2024-10-17, version 2.2.1* I've sent multiple emails to the developer with videos and examples showing the app is not working as it's supposed to, 2 months now and no reply. ### 1/5 — 欺骗 *2024-09-09* 显示限免，下下来又用不了，欺骗人，骗人下载 ### 1/5 — Zero *2024-09-02, version 2.2.1* It’s not free, creator is lying and false advertisement in apps gone free plate form.avoid wasting your time and downloading app and allowing to access to your whole library. ### 1/5 — This App Stole $43.86 after offering their Lifetime Sun for Free *2024-08-30, version 2.2.1* Don’t trust this app! I downloaded and filled out the on boarding “Free” lifetime subscription pure their offer on AppAdvice on 8/25/24. Immediately after choosing their “free” offer, my account was hit for $43.86! I would have never downloaded this app had I have known they were so deceptive & low down as to hustle a disabled, older person. I’m posting on every social media account I have with my 100m followers of the theft that this app performed. So very wrong. ### 1/5 — In app purchases misleading *2024-08-28, version 2.2.1* It shown zero quid for lifetime but cannot find have a promo code line! What a scam. ### 1/5 — Shady developer *2024-08-28, version 2.2.1* Offers a “promo” for lifetime access to features but this circumvents giving it through the App Store which would allow you to restore your purchase. Once the promo is gone, you can’t use the code again and you’re stuck having to pay for access. This simultaneously gets people to leave glowing reviews and it boosts the visibility of the app due to a high number of downloads and good reviews from people that temporarily got access for free. Response to developer’s response. If you use the promo code and then delete the app, you can’t restore the “purchase” because Apple’s servers never logged it as one (because it wasn’t). TL;DR: I’m right and this dev is not to be trusted. ### 1/5 — False Promo *2024-08-27, version 2.2.1* Saw there is a lifetime promo, but there was no promo at all. ### 1/5 — Nice app but no option to claim free lifetime pro *2024-08-26, version 2.2.1* Really nice app but there is no option to claim the free lifetime pro. It’s a scam! Please fulfill what you advertise! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Поражен, просто спасибо вам! *2025-08-06* Через неделю полный отзыв, пока воздержусь. ### 5/5 — Promo code working! *2024-08-28, version 2.2.1* Thanks for the fix!

My mistake *2024-08-26, version 2.2.1* So I initially gave this app 1 star because I thought I had to pay for a subscription after I downloaded the app with a free lifetime subscription. Well I closed the app and reopened it and found my lifetime subscription and did not have to pay. I sincerely apologize for the bad review. It is actually good app that does save you time. Thank you very much for the opportunity to get this app for free. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-08-26, version 2.2.1* Very good app ### 5/5 — Thao tác *2024-08-26, version 2.2.1* Thao tác lựa chọn xoá và giữ dễ làm duyệt nhanh. ### 5/5 — Nice app for clear picture *2024-08-26, version 2.2.1* Good ### 5/5 — handy man *2024-08-25* been trying to organize my photos all day. and this pops up. works like a charm. highly recommend. got this for free too. ### 5/5 — Finally did it! *2023-09-19* It was a pain to go through my extensive gallery, but this app scanned all of my photos and grouped them into categories automatically. I was surprised by the number of duplicate photos and videos I had on my phone! Now they’re all gone ### 5/5 — s *2023-09-16* Super easy Deleting duplicate and similar pictures quickly is incredibly easy. As a photographer, I had many similar photos, but now I only keep the best ones! I especially enjoyed using the swipe mode feature; it's the best. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
