### 1/5 — Not Free

*2026-07-25*

Complete lie claiming to be free. It will not remove anything except location unless you pay them for a subscription not disclosed in App Store. Pretty shady. Wouldn’t trust.

### 5/5 — Va muy bien

*2026-07-23*

Rápido y perfecto

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2026-07-21*

Tut genau was sie soll. Tolle App!

### 5/5 — It works!

*2026-06-29*

The app does what it’s promoted no in that purchases nothing sketchy it moves all them Meta data amazing.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-03-14*

It does what it is intended, however I am a bit of a perfectionist and when you remove the metadata of your videos/photos, if you sort your photos in date captured, they are scrambled but are normal when sort by recently added. I was hoping this is fixable. Also I wish I coulld select everything at once

### 1/5 — Dont do as advertised

*2025-09-22*

Isnt deleting video metadata

### 2/5 — confusing

*2025-08-24, version 5.0*

confusing

### 2/5 — Photos App Only?

*2025-04-26*

Im sure this app could be great except it totally lacks the function to import a picture - you can only use images that are in your Photos.app library which makes it quite annoying to use, and more complicated than just going to any of the many websites that offer the same functionality

### 1/5 — Falha no envio

*2025-02-25*

Nao está enviando vídeo pro watts app

### 1/5 — does not remove all info

*2025-02-12*
