### 4/5 — Kudos to the dev.

*2020-05-14*

I just bought this App to use it with my Nikon Z50. My main concern was to identify the best AF mode for BIFS. It quickly became apparent that the app was not fully updated for my camera. I notified the developer and he went to work on an update. He worked through 2 in 1 week, and each one was a significant improvement. Still not perfect, but much improved, and I know he’s still working. It’s only a matter of time. BTW, this is far and away the best EFIX reader out there, and more than worth the price of admission.

### 2/5 — Déçu

*2019-08-15*

Les informations de prise de vue avec mon D7000 apparaissent au téléchargement sur mon iPad Pro puis disparaissent ???
Seule la localisation GPS reste et s’affiche sur la carte.
J’ai un peu l’impression de m’être fait avoir !

**Developer response:** Voulez-vous me contacter via email pour que je puisse résoudre ce problème?
L'email est photometaapp@gmail.com.

### 4/5 — Good app, but...

*2017-12-22*

Export to Instagram and Flickr not working. Dear developers, please fix this. Then 5 stars.

**Developer response:** Since the focus of PhotoMeta is photo metadata, the export functionality is all about the (textual) metadata. The Instagram and Flickr apps don't support text as input.

### 3/5 — Very useful app.

*2017-08-25, version 5.0.1*

Well done application. All important infos regarding pictures metadatas are present.
Visually quite good also.
Since latest update, if album contains a lot of picture, the thumbnails flicker constantly. That's annoying.

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2015-12-11, version 5.0*

Well since the update it doesn't recognize PNG images any more, strange.

### 5/5 — Sehr gut

*2015-04-06*

Zeigt die Metadaten in übersichtlicher Form. Funktioniert auch mit Bildern aus freigegebenen Ordnern der iCloud ohne dass diese extra in Aufnahmen gespeichert werden müssen. Sehr praktisch ist auch die Favoritenfunktion, bei der nur die selbst individuell zusammen gestellten Metadaten angezeigt werden.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-12-13, version 4.0.3*

I use this often to look exit data in media. Very well built.

### 5/5 — Genial, alle Infos zu jedem Bild

*2014-10-27*

Bei iOS ist ja leider nicht so einfach an die Metadaten heran zu kommen. Mit dieser App ist wirklich alles zugänglich, besonders toll sind Geoinformationen dargestellt! Weiter so!!

### 5/5 — GREAT APP

*2014-10-18, version 4.0.3*

Great app!

The first to offer map azimuth depiction (highlight fan to show direction of camera when photo taken). 

Now works on my iPhone too.

Awesome app!

### 5/5 — Photometa App

*2014-10-06*

I was very impressed with this app, the well organized structure of the app, and it's ease of use.  Additionally, the developer is extremely supportive with almost immediate response to questions and issues.  It is difficult to find apps with such great developer support.

### 5/5 — Great EXIF image viewer

*2014-09-21*

Great application for viewing tons of general and camera specific EXIF data. It even shows you focus points if professional cameras' AF systems. Good job! Very nice/smart user interface.

### 5/5 — Terrific Geodata Info

*2014-08-20*

Definitely my favorite app for metadata. I especially like how it handles location data and Geo tags. Well done!

### 5/5 — À avoir. Sans faute.

*2014-07-24*

Sans faute !!!

### 5/5 — Application parfaite

*2014-07-24*

Superbe application avec un nouveau look très soigné. A recommander

### 5/5 — lauft wie es soll

*2014-07-23*

Die app ist top und überaus informativer als andere

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-05-14*

Now this is a great app to getting all the photo data you will ever need...

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2021-11-28*

Étant sur IOS 15.1, l application ne s ouvre pas
Pas cool

**Developer response:** Essayez la dernière version. Ce bug est résolu.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2017-12-12*

I just paid $4.99 for this app, downloaded it and started to use it - didn't work - frozen! Want a refund!

**Developer response:** We had an email exchange about your issue, but you stopped responding. Please reply to my last email and I'll investigate what's going on on your devices.

### 1/5 — Constantly crashes

*2016-09-05, version 5.0*

Can't even select a photo as it always crashes. It had so much potential and now I just wasted my money

### 1/5 — Well...

*2014-07-21, version 4.0*

It worked perfectly fine until you decided you just had to upgrade it.  Now it crashes literally 100% of the time. 100%. 
Job well done. Congratulations! 
(And your vocabulary word of the day is "imbecile.")

### 1/5 — Pure Aggravation

*2013-11-16, version 3.1.1*

It keeps crashing when scroll through the metadata information, soooooo annoying since I updated to this version. Fix this please?

### 1/5 — Juan C

*2012-09-30, version 3.0*

Have had this app for 10min and has it shut down six times now. Get this fixed or credit my account!

### 1/5 — Idee gut, Umsetzung ungenügend, stürzt ständig ab!

*2012-08-31*

Umfangreiche Informationen, die häufig jedoch falsch aufbereitet werden ( das Fokusmessfeld wird z.B. nicht korrekt eingeblendet ).

Zudem stürzt die Anwendung ständig (!) ab, sehr schwach.

Dringende Nachbesserung erforderlich, da ansonsten selbst gratis zu teuer...

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht, wenn Ortungsdienste ausgeschaltet sind

*2012-05-20*

Ich verstehe nicht, warum die Ortungsdienste eingeschaltet sein müssen, damit das Programm die EXIF Informationen anzeigen kann. Leider wird das in der Beschreibung nicht erwähnt. Ich will mein Geld zurück!

### 1/5 — Crap

*2012-04-01, version 2.3.1*

Where to start..... Crashes,indexes are all mixed up,can't pull the exif from many photos, just plain crap.

Don't get burned on this one guys. there has to be a way to get my money back ....Apple!?

### 1/5 — Not useful

*2012-01-20, version 2.1.1*

Not useful. Product info misleading.

### 5/5 — Support for Fujifilm metadata!

*2021-08-04*

I have recently bought into the Fujifilm X series camera system and love shooting JPEG straight out of camera, thanks to Fujifilm’s excellent in-camera processing, film simulations, etc. But I have been frustrated with trying to see / recall the Fujifilm specific settings that I used for different pictures. This app shows all of that data. The only issue I have had with the app is that the photo browser side will jump back to the latest pictures after a few seconds, making it a little frustrating when trying to review pictures from the past. The metadata side stays focused on the selected photo though so it’s still good for getting those camera specific details of a picture.

### 5/5 — Must have app for all serious photographers

*2018-02-01*

Before I installed this app I had to transfer my photos onto my PC and then import it into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to get the Exif data. Now, with this app I can instantly get the data I need. This app will also get the data from HEIF files. I found the app was very easy to use and very fast.

### 5/5 — Funzt super!!!!

*2018-01-30*

Zeigt eine Menge Infos wie z.B. Distanz zum Objekt, Aufnahmezeitpunkt, Lichtwert, ziemlich alle Kameraeinstellungen sowie 3 farbige Histogramme. Die Favoritenfunktion ist klasse: In der Hauptliste die gewünschten Parameter an- oder ausklicken.

### 5/5 — Works very well

*2017-11-20*

My wife and I are both photographers but we prefer to pool our photos across several OIS devices for added security on a trip. This app is brilliant at searching based on a camera make and model which makes it easy to see who took what on the trip. 

I run a photography group on Facebook and it’s very useful to be able to share the meta data about an image when posting in the group. This app makes that so easy, just select your favourite meta data points to favourites and when you need to share that data just tap share in the app and choose copy favourites. It takes all that data as text which is easy to post as a comment along with your image on Facebook. 

Last but not least I find the author very open to suggestions for further enhancing the app.

### 5/5 — Working as advertised

*2017-11-05*

Working as advertised.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!

*2017-10-28*

I got this app after I got tired of having to transfer photos from my iPhone to my Mac in order to look at the detailed metadata. The amount of information it shows is incredible!

I chose this app based on my experience with GeoTagr, another great app from the same developer which I use frequently (and highly recommend!).

The developer is a really great guy, who responds quickly to bug reports and future requests. He also follows up to let you know when a new version that fixes your bug has been released in the App Store.

### 5/5 — Very good update

*2015-12-11, version 5.0*

The interface is very sleek. The filter options let you search your files by pinpointing whichever criteria you are focusing on. Well done and great support from the author.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2015-12-11*

Great app for viewing metadata etc from images - as a photographer this is so useful.

Short review, it's just great.

### 5/5 — Latest update introduces new features

*2015-05-07*

This latest update has delivered a bunch of new features to an already great app! 

This developer is extremely responsive to his users and continually works to improve the app.  It is my go-to app for viewing my images. 

Has DropBox support, Open In... to send images to other apps, now with basic PNG support and Delete functions. 

This app deserves your consideration.

### 5/5 — Beste Metadaten App

*2015-05-06*

Sehr durchdacht, kann einfach alles. Sehr empfehlenswert, um Metadaten auszulesen.
