But you get an ad literally every 10 swipes. I’m not exaggerating, I counted multiple times. Half of these ads are 15-30 seconds unskippable ads. Maybe like every 50 swipes would be more understandable, but every 10 is crazy. ### 2/5 — Doesnt let you delete *2024-01-14, version 2.3.0* Its easy, but doesnt let you delete the photos without downloading this app-once you download the app it doesnt let you delete them again. ### 3/5 — Works as advertised, doesn’t save your place *2023-12-30, version 2.3.0* I love the app — no in-app purchases, so no features pointlessly locked behind a paywall. Unfortunately, every time you open the app it shows you the most recent thing on your camera roll, with no option for skipping. So the app basically makes you review the same photos over and over again until you get to the ones you haven’t reviewed yet. Would easily be a 5-star app if it weren’t for that! ### 1/5 — Tommy Boy *2023-12-06, version 2.3.0* All I see is a spinning wheel- no directions? ### 2/5 — i liked it until.. *2023-11-22, version 2.3.0* i liked the app because i can quickly move through my camera roll and make choices to keep or not but after a while the app stopped working now all it does is play ads. doesn’t delete anything ### 3/5 — It’s okay. *2023-10-09, version 2.0.0* It’s doesn’t let me codes the month to delete the photos from like it did in the add. Also it goes back to the photos that you already said you wanted when you swipe out of the app. Why is that? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not get *2025-11-15, version 8.0.2* I just want to get rid of my pictures and not pay ### 1/5 — Plays broken ads and all progress is lost *2024-06-01, version 5.0.0* Twice an ad has bricked the app forcing me to close it and reopen and then all the photos I had staged for deletion just disappear. ### 1/5 — Not good. *2024-04-02, version 3.0.0* Ad every 10 swipes. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2024-03-21, version 3.0.0* This app is a great idea to quickly clean out your camera roll, but there are too many long ads that pop up after every 5 photos. In turn, they slow you down so much that there’s no reason to use this app and instead just clean out your camera roll the old fashion way. ### 1/5 — Free BUT *2024-02-11, version 3.0.0* Works great and great that it’s free but completely unusable as you’re forced to watch ads and wait constantly. The worst app I’ve ever downloaded. ### 1/5 — It’s bad *2024-01-29, version 2.3.0* My pics don’t delete ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2024-01-13, version 2.3.0* Okay so I kept trying to delete my pictures and they won’t delete so yeah but it was satisfying ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-01-08, version 2.3.0* Even the paid version has ads. Not worth it ### 1/5 — Wish it would save the ones I “Keep” *2024-01-08, version 2.3.0* Discovered this app today and it has helped me trim the fat of my photo gallery. Very simple, with a tinder-esque format. Swipe right to keep, swipe left to delete. My only frustration with the app is that I have to start at the beginning of my photo gallery every time I delete the cache of photos that’s accumulated during my session. Yes, you read that right. I wish the app would remember the place that I leave off, be it to empty the bin or coming back to the app another time. ### 1/5 — Ads!! *2024-01-06, version 2.3.0* Great concept but everytime you try to delete pics you’re forced to watch an ad and then it closes ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — THIS APP IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED *2026-06-23, version 9.4.1* I had like 500 photos and boom with this app I had 100 o after that totally recommended ### 5/5 — Vytvut *2026-03-20, version 9.2* Chef yf ### 5/5 — Great *2025-01-19, version 6.0.5* Work great, would be nice to have the back button to the previous photo ### 5/5 — Good *2025-01-07, version 6.0.5* Amazing ### 5/5 — 🥹🥰 *2023-09-24, version 1.0.3* Would highly recommend it’s great 😊 ### 4/5 — İyi *2026-07-21, version 9.4.1* Paralı olmasa çok iyi ### 4/5 — Amazing app! *2025-01-09, version 6.0.5* Love how you dont have to pay right when you enter and still dont have to pay for most things. ### 4/5 — Good *2023-10-14, version 2.1.0* Well it didn’t limit time,but it didn’t delete all my pics ### 3/5 — It’s fun but I don’t know how to put it *2025-04-01, version 7.2.0* I don’t know how can I put it on fotos and I don’t know what buttons to press ### 3/5 — Deleting *2024-01-04, version 2.3.0* Works well but sometimes glitches and doesn’t let you delete your photos! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
