I was hoping this is fixable. Also I wish I coulld select everything at once ### 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 ### 3/5 — It malfunctions a lot after some time *2024-10-25* And I can’t add new pictures to the meta data app to remove the data… so it just takes up space on my phone 🫤 ### 2/5 — Jamesbor916 *2024-10-06* Limited functionality ### 1/5 — Left phantom data *2023-10-12* Claimed to remove data, but the Places folder was still showing items it had supposedly cleared. (I deleted the originals, so it wasn't that.) ### 3/5 — To Remove Private Meta Data, User Have To Share Private Data !! Careful With This App *2023-08-24* This app collects private data, not good practice at all , but does not require subscription/payment for removing (almost) all meta data . Whats the point that to remove private data user have to give/share private data !!? dangerous policy by developers . no one beside God can protect private data safely. ### 3/5 — Hard to select photos *2023-08-15* Sometimes it is hard to get the photos to show which I have chosen in the Metadata app. If I keep working between the Metadata app and the Metadata Remover app, the photos for removing metadata may eventually show up to have metadata removed. ### 4/5 — App was fixed *2023-03-26* All the issues stated by most reviews are either from 1-3 years ago, I just wanted to let you all know that the app does work as intended now and I use it all the time ### 2/5 — Бессмысленно *2022-06-26* Какой смысл только удалять? Почему нельзя сделать редактирование? ### 1/5 — Не редактирует *2022-03-28* Нельзя удалить или редактировать метаданные. Смысл тогда от программы? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-09-07* It will show you metadata but it doesn’t clear it like it says. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Dont do as advertised *2025-09-22* Isnt deleting video metadata ### 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* videos still retain General model information ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2024-10-13* I updated the app and now I can no longer select more photos from my photo library. I have it set to allow access to only the photos I choose, but the option to choose more photos has disappeared. The app is completely unusable now. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr *2024-10-12* Es gibt keine option Bilder hinzuzufügen ### 1/5 — Can’t recommend *2024-08-01* Very difficult to get the app to recognize new photos . Shutting down my phone then restarting used to work slowly . But now , no ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2024-07-19* I used this app a few times, but there is nothing to click to add new photos. There used to be a pop up when you first open the app that allows you to select photos to add, but it no longer pops up and there is no other way to select new photos for removing meta data. I wish I could give it zero stars. Poor POOR design. ### 1/5 — Absolut nutzlos *2024-04-18* Ich habe sinnlose Apps gesehen, aber solche noch nie. Absolut nicht möglich zu finden wie man eine Datei in dieses App hinein bekommt, geschweige denn eine Datei ohne Metadaten herauszieht. ### 1/5 — Paid for premium and it stopped working *2023-11-14* Paid for premium on this and suddenly the premium features stopped working and it wants me to buy it again. Complete scam. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Bom *2025-01-16* Funciona muito bem ### 5/5 — Plays 🤷🏼 Works *2024-12-15* Based on some of the reviews, Photo Metadata EXIF Remover must have been a balancing act before to use. Having read it’s improved, I just downloaded it. And I’m happy I did. ### 5/5 — So far, so good *2023-06-14* Removed Metadata from my selected pictures, exactly what I was looking for. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2022-12-21, version 4.7* This app does a great job ### 5/5 — Ottima e utile app *2022-01-09* App perfetta ### 5/5 — 動画のメタデータ確認に便利 *2020-12-27* なかなか動画のメタデータを確認できるアプリが無い中、こちらはさっと手軽に確認できてとても便利です！ ### 5/5 — Great! *2020-10-06* Works great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
