Really the best photo picker

This is an incredibly useful tool for my birding photography! It allows me to sort through thousands of nearly identical burst photos with confidence. I recommend using it with an external keyboard on iPad, since it has extensive support for keyboard shortcuts (which you can find in the menu bar)

Just what I needed

Honestly, this app is just a godsend to me. For the last couple of years I’ve been shooting series of photos hoping that sometime later I would find the best shot and delete the others. But that time never comes apparently…

Now my paid iCloud is almost full, so I’ve tried to find an app tho help me and here it is! And it’s everything I could’ve asked for. It’s offline (I’ve tried it with airplane mode and works perfectly), no AI bullocks, looks good, does exactly what I want.

Apparently there are even no ads which is a shame because the person behind the app doesn’t get anything from it. Then it’s just an enormous “thank you” from me!

Great tool, encourages clean photo library

I just wish it had the ability to ignore a group of photos. Sometimes I want to keep a few very similar photos!

Bars on Candidate Photo

Can you let me hide the bars on the candidate photo when I’m judging a candidate. Can’t get a holistic view of a candidate photo with the bars right on top of the candidate

Great!

Just great! There are simply no analogues for "maniacs of order". The "ignore series" button is missing, otherwise it's great!

Mein Lebensretter …

Ich ersticke in doppelten Fotos und tue mich super schwer damit zu entscheiden, welche Foto von 5 Schnappschüssen das beste ist. Die App gibt mir eine super Hilfestellung beim aussortieren. Ich habe ewig nach genau so einer App gesucht. Danke für dieses Tool

Hallo André, Vielen Dank für das positive Feedback! Liebe Grüße, Florian vom Photoscope Team

Guter Ansatz

Sobald ich mehr als 3 Fotos abwähle zum Löschen, blockiert der Löschvorgang. Leider.
Ansonsten wäre es ein schönes Tool, um seine Fotoalben „auszumisten“.

Hallo Ullisan, Kannst du uns bitte per Send Feedback aus der App kontaktieren, damit wir dem Problem auf den Grund gehen können? Viele Grüße Florian vom Photoscope Team

Do I really have to pick only one?

I love this app. It’s great. I wish I could save more than just one. It’s kind of like an all or nothing.

Quick Look

I just opened it for the first time. I don’t have much experience yet. But my first look is positive.

Love the idea, but…

In principle, this app brings back a functionality of the wonderful Aperture app that allowed you to compare similar photos and intelligently select which one to keep from a batch. Unfortunately, as it is currently implemented, it really does not match my needs for this process. The current workflow is just to move from one picture to the next and select when you find one you think you like more. But for this functionality to be useful, I really need to be able to go back-and-forth and compare any two arbitrary pictures to one another rather than just flick through everything once and be done. Also, the idea of keeping just one out of the set isn’t very helpful. I think if this used the film strip more interactively and allowed you to select pics and comparisons directly from it, then it might start to be really useful. Also, I think it very much needs to have a built-in assumption that you may choose to keep any number of pictures from the sequence, not just one

Hooray iPad compatibility!

It’s a great app, and now I can use it on my iPad. Very much helps me comb through the many near-photos in the library. An endless process.

One thing I wish was an ability to remove items from an auto-group, or “ignore” a group. Sometimes the photos, although taken in rapid succession, are quite different and I don’t want to choose.

Hi ChicagoLK, Thanks for the feedback! We just released Photoscope 1.3 with (native) iPad support. Contact us at any time with feedback via hello@leitmotif.dev. If you like the new update, we'd also love to see an updated review and rating. :) Cheers, Florian Co-Founder at Leitmotif

Wish it was iPad compatible

It’s a great app, but I really want to use it on my larger iPad screen rather than my tiny phone screen.

Great idea, terrible implementation

The best way to choose the best photo is to switch between two photos to immediately see the differences between them. And when you put two almost identical photos in front of each other, it turns into a game of finding a million subtle differences — this is the most stupid and inconvenient way. It's strange that he came to someone's mind. And the application does not analyze your library and does not offer to process similar photos — you will have to find and mark them to add manually. But it is not worth doing this, since the method of choice is stupid and inconvenient.

Ignore rest feature would make it a 5

Great app which is terribly needed! One feature request would be to add an ignore rest button. If you’ve already found the best pick, you should not need to go through all the other candidates to reach the delete step.

Almost perfect

It’s delightfully great for culling.

Automatically detects clusters of photos, and lets you select the best of the bunch.

But what if you want to keep more than one? Simple, just skip.

Unfortunately, skip doesn’t have a speedy button at the bottom. It’s hidden under the triple dots. And that’s the thing that would bump this to five stars: embrace a flag-skip-reject cull.

Just needs ignore

Thanks for the quick fixes! After ignore stack is added I’ll go up to 5.

Tons of crashes in v1.2

Also it needs the ability to ignore a stack

Response from developer

Hi there, Thanks for the honest feedback. We will add more features in future versions, and ways to ignore a series are on our list. We also just released version 1.2.1, addressing the crashing issue that some user experienced. We are sorry that it was affecting you. Please contact us directly at hello@leitmotif.dev if you still see crashes. Otherwise, it would be great if you consider updating your review. Thanks! Greetings Florian, Christopher and Michael from Leitmotif

Great app

Love the easy and quick use. Does its job really well!

Fantastic app for photo culling

I use a mirrorless camera and will sometimes take a *few* too many photos at the same time, often trying to capture just the right shot. I’ve looked all over for an app that directly integrates with my Photos Library and allows me to pick the best photo(s) from a bunch. This app does the job really well, and I am excited to see how the app gets even better with further development. Mac and iPad apps would be amazing; I hope they are on the road map!

Fantastic!

I have looked for a tool for comparing and removing duplicate photos for years. Nothing else compares at all.
