Put in stairs and I get two stair pics and 22 that have no relevance at all. It goes on like that. Bought every bell and whistle it comes with and none of it works. ### 1/5 — Keine Sortierung *2019-04-22* Keine Sortierung möglich. Greift nur auf alle Bilder zu. Keine Alben Funktion **Developer response:** Achtung, irreführendes Review! Unsere App sortiert die Bilder sehr wohl nach Zeit, oder Farbe, oder erkanntem Inhalt. Zusätzlich kann man bei der aktuellen Version auch auswählen, welche Alben (nicht) berücksichtigt werden sollen. ### 2/5 — Lobenswerte Idee, funktioniert nur nicht wie erwartet *2021-07-25* Ich habe jetzt 7€ ausgegeben, um herauszufinden, dass mein Anwendungsfall - ein Bild auf dem iPhone auswählen und ähnliche Bilder anzeigen lassen - nicht funktioniert. Tippt man auf “Suche” öffnet sich nur die Kamera. Ein vorhandenes Bild auswählen funktioniert nicht. Ich nehme an, dass es lediglich ein Bug ist und das Ganze vermutlich ein Hobbyprojekt. Bitte weiterentwickeln, die Idee ist gut 👍🏻 ### 2/5 — Fair-good *2020-06-05* Has great potential but often fails (badly) to identify the predominant color in a photo. The AI object identifier also needs a lot more work. Would be great if I could override the AI's incorrect guess at content. Overall not worth the money; stick with Google photos for free and better AI. Wish I could get a refund!!! **Developer response:** It is state-of-the art performance of deep neural networks, which of course sometimes fail to correctly identify the content. Still I think it is a great app with a lot of useful features! And it is free in its basic version. ### 4/5 — I love this app *2019-11-25* I love this app but can you guys either add a feature that allows you to save multiple photos at once to an album or just bring back the feature that let you save one at a time so I can plan my posts again? Thank you! **Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion, the current version contains such an export feature. ### 4/5 — Useful tool. *2019-07-05* Works well. A different kind of search tool. Loaded my 6000 pics in a few hours and was able to find images easily. It presents all of the resultant pics in a bloc. I particularly like the way you can take a picture of something and then search for it or similar. **Developer response:** Thanks very much for the good feedback! ### 5/5 — Really underrated app.... *2021-04-18* It found all my pictures of my dog ignoring all other breeds. It’s good to have it all in one album ### 5/5 — Hidden treasure? So useful for photogs, amazing customer service *2020-08-23* The app can find photos by primary color, so if you tap the red box any image that is primarily red or pink (photos are shown in a color range) you can see and export all your photos to an ios album. The best part is that it doesn’t duplicate your photos and take up space. It simply adds them to a folder in your photo library. Also matches based on image contents, so it may recognize all photos with flowers for example, and it can find more specific content within your images as well, like “necklace” or “lampshade.” It does this at least as well as google photos and more quickly. The shining star really is the customer support, however. I had a small issue exporting the color galleries to my library and sent a screenshot and brief description directly to the developer and was met with a friendly person eager to help. The issue was fixed by the next day. Highly recommended and not sure why it’s not ranked higher in the App Store. Thanks again for the speedy assistance you provided last month. :) ### 5/5 — They did listen! *2020-06-07* Added the delete function, so: five stars! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback - the new version (2.3) has such a delete function! ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2020-05-30* I use this app to supplement my photography. Its a great way to organize and view photos, especially using the color organizer. It sorted 7000+ photos, no issues. The AI is also great for detecting duplicates. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ❤️ Deep Photo Analyzer! *2020-05-22* Excellent app! Allows one to view their photos by color or even by topic (not perfect but works well). Find it very handy for making collages by color or subject (just choose share - copy, then paste into your collage app). Thanks for your professional apps, Klaus! **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the great feedback! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2019-04-02* Finally an easy app that allows me to easily sort, and retrieve all 7,000+ photos on my phone! This is awesome. JV San Diego --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
