It doesn’t tell the location or what type of device the photo was taken on…. This really didn’t tell me much. ### 2/5 — Pretty good at *2022-12-26* Would like a little more functionality ### 3/5 — Daniel Brian Schmidt *2021-04-25* Stop!!!! ### 4/5 — Crashes by Photostream pictures *2021-01-23* App is Fine, but when I open a picture that I‘ve got from a friends Photostream, the App crashes. ### 3/5 — It has problems *2020-06-12* I’ve sent an email to their support but haven’t yet received a reply. I suppose I should be more patient under the current circumstances. I was about to purchase the ‘pro’ app but noticed that a lot of the file names it was reporting were wrong, this caused me huge problems. I was trying to find files on my pc that didn’t actually exist! I hope there’s a fix soon because apart from that (which really is a BIG bug for me) it has appeared to be the best around. especially as it gives data on video too, which from what I’ve seen so far, others don’t. I wonder why this simple requirement isn’t already built into the iPhone and iPad. Apple have incredibly lazy and non-forward thinking software writers. They tend to give you less than the bare minimum. ### 1/5 — Does not show all metadata *2020-02-11* As other reviewers have noted, not all metadata is shown, which makes this app a complete waste of time. ### 1/5 — Junk *2019-11-23* Don’t waste your time!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2019-10-18* Very good app ### 2/5 — Metric only *2019-09-12* Should have option to display altitude in feet. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — waste of time *2026-08-05* doesn’t connect just goes straight to photos app ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-06-01, version 5.0* Disappointed ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work unless you pay *2025-11-17* Selected a photo and no functions appeared ### 1/5 — Complicada *2024-02-20, version 4.7* Es complicado usar la app ### 1/5 — Pics *2023-01-20* I can’t get it to work properly ### 1/5 — Iphone NO. Ipad yes *2021-10-03* When you select a picture to clear the meta-data, the only option is to cancel. This app works fine on my iPad, but it doesn’t work on iPhone ### 1/5 — Yeah *2021-01-23* Yeah ### 1/5 — Carnival barker *2020-11-01* Please just list a price! Leading someone into your store with the hopes of a good deal only to charge them more is a bad business trick. I don’t care how good your app is there are a dozen more and I am leaving! Nothing for you! ### 1/5 — Can’t do anything in app *2020-05-12* Can’t do anything in app ### 1/5 — Too bad *2020-05-07* Cannot get messages out of text screen. Have to save to the device and that overwrites dates, and who knows what else. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2026-06-28* This app works perfectly. It gives me all the details that I was looking. It’s easy to use and no wasted steps involved. ### 5/5 — Pic *2025-08-24* Rice is life ### 5/5 — Jane *2023-05-15* This is very confusing ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-03-27* Thanks for the great app ### 5/5 — GPS *2021-12-21* I only wanted this to find the lat and long of one photo which isn’t given on iPhone 8. Worked perfectly and the app is free. ### 5/5 — Wow it shows location *2021-06-29* Liked it shows location coordinates. ### 5/5 — In icon In *2020-02-24* Inh Inc vncvnmlboo hugs onee ### 5/5 — Perfect for iPad 4 that's stuck in iOS 10 *2020-02-03* Since their is no longer iOS updates for older iPads like mine, they are stuck in iOS 10 & most apps won't work. This app works perfectly & you can easily view all your exif data in your photos. It's simple & efficient! ### 5/5 — Terrific! *2020-02-03* Hugely accurate and very fast acting too! ### 5/5 — Easy photo data *2019-10-18* Much better that Photo investigator --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
