### 1/5 — Latest update killed it. Crashes when selecting a photo.

*2026-07-30*

First iteration was great and was slowly working my way through a 15k strong gallery that needed serious fixing. Cole the 2.0 update though it’s not useable. Clicking on even 1 photo to deal with crashes the app instantly. Hopefully a new update fixes it.

### 1/5 — 这软件不行

*2026-07-16*

中文不能识别就算了，连数字都识别不全。

### 3/5 — A bit pointless

*2026-07-14*

It's ok, but why does it exist when it needs iOS 17 which already does this better with its built-in photos app?

**Developer response:** Thanks for saying "Its okay". You are right. We tried to be better than what Native Photos App have done. Like, Dynamic "Search suggestions" which changes on every keystroke - These suggestions are based on texts in photos.
Filter Photos by Camera and lens model. Native Photos App does that too. But we show list of all cameras and Lens models used. In short, we tried to be better. 
But maybe we failed and our users aren't noticing difference. We indeed consider this as failure on our end and will figure out if we can make our app more valuable to our customers.

### 2/5 — Warning Do NOT BUY!

*2026-03-13*

I have a newer model of iPhone and the indexing doesn’t continue in the background, it took over 24 hours to basically get stuck at 20% for my pictures. I sent a support email and got no response from the support team.

### 1/5 — 「写真をアルバムに追加する」などの基本操作ができない。

*2026-02-08*

「写真をアルバムに追加する」などの基本操作ができない。せっかく検索機能が強力でも根本的に整理・管理アプリとしての仕様では無いため、「都度、検索内容を指定し、抽出された検索結果を見る」だけで終わる。他のアプリと連携すると言う発想が皆無な設計。非常に残念。

### 1/5 — V....e....r....y....s.....l......o.....w.....

*2026-01-14*

I am sure one day or maybe year, it will have indexed my photos. That day is yet to come. So far, it is useless.

### 5/5 — Приложение справилось со своей задачей

*2025-12-27*

Мне нужно было найти фотографии снятые на сверхширокоугольный обьектив, через стандартное приложение это никак не получалось.

Благодаря Photos Search by Flunto, я смог найти все фотки снятые на 0,5 и понять что не так  уж часто я ей пользуюсь и можно покупать iPhone air

### 5/5 — Near perfect

*2025-12-02*

A long time I searched for an APP like this - wonderful. In about 3 hours over 50.000 photos on my iPad were read in - and now I can search all Pictures due to camera and/or used lens and it is so easy to use. Very recommendable!

### 1/5 — Работает хуже, чем приложение Фото

*2025-06-27*

Приложение Фото находит всё по тексту в кадре, что находит это приложение. А это приложение не находит и 15% того, что находит приложение Фото. 
Приложение Фото найдет даже надпись марки одежды на футболке. А это приложение такого не видит. 

База изображений - все фото полностью проиндексированы. Просто приложение работает хуже, чем штатное приложение Apple.

### 1/5 — 所以其实不能搜中文？

*2025-03-23*

所以其实不能搜中文？
