Now whenever I take a photo it crashes every time. Pity. ### 2/5 — Long time user *2023-04-18, version 3.0* It’s a fun app but iOS 16 (or 15) is not supported. It would be nice if this was fixed ### 2/5 — Update already *2023-04-11, version 3.0* I like this app and would have given 5 stars but I need them to update the app to work with iOS cmon guys!!! ### 2/5 — Heartbroken *2023-02-28, version 3.0* I’ve been using PhotoSwap for years and have made dear friends on this app. I delayed updating so that I could continue to use PhotoSwap. Wish I had a way to connect with my PS friends 💔 ### 1/5 — Needs updated *2023-02-27, version 3.0* The app doesn’t work anymore and needs to be updated. ### 1/5 — App needs an update *2023-02-08* I’ve loved this app for years. There’s nothing else like it out there (at least that I’ve found). It’s great to randomly connect via photos with people from all over the world, and I’ve had “conversations” that have lasted many years. But the developers need to do an update. The app doesn’t work on iOS 16, and now it’s not even working on the earlier iOS version I have on an older phone. There’s been no update in 6 years! I hope the developers fix it - I’d hate to lose this app. ### 1/5 — Please update your app to work with current IOS *2023-02-02, version 3.0* This app crashes and is unusable. Has been for some time since the last few iOS updates. Please get it back working! ### 4/5 — Update For iPhone *2023-02-01, version 3.0* When will this occur? ### 4/5 — Please fix *2023-01-17, version 3.0* My phone updated and now it’s not working ### 3/5 — iOS update *2023-01-03, version 3.0* Current version of the app does not support iOS 16, any word on the update? ### 3/5 — Does not work with iOS16 *2022-12-14, version 3.0* I love this app but as soon as I updated to iOS16 it stopped working. Try to open the app and it just crashes. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. No dice. Open app….CRASH ### 2/5 — Update already *2022-11-09, version 3.0* I like this app and would have given 5 stars but I need them to update the app to work with iOS cmon guys!!! ### 1/5 — Blocked *2022-10-23, version 3.0* Been blocked for weeks now. Think we are on our own…. ### 2/5 — App does not work anymore *2022-10-06, version 3.0* When I now hit on the app it just cuts back to my home page does not even go onto the app anymore ### 1/5 — Just dudes waiting to send nudes *2022-05-18, version 3.0* I love the premise of this app. I had it years ago and would love sending photos of my travels or to share the beautiful scenery I see everyday. I decided to download it and start using it again, by now, in return, I mostly get pictures of guy’s legs as they sit and wait for someone to trade photos with. I have yet to get an interesting photo in return. Lots of guys sitting on the couch, black screens, walls, TVs, etc. More creativity and less creepers, please. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2025-12-04, version 3.0* The app doesn’t work! You start it and click on the camera button and it crashes right out! ### 1/5 — Apps broken. *2025-11-09, version 3.0* Stopped working on iPhones about 3 years ago and it’s never been fixed.

Disappointing! ### 1/5 — Can’t open it anymore *2024-09-15, version 3.0* This used to be a really fun app. But now it crashes upon opening. Hopefully the developers will fix it sometime soon. ### 1/5 — Please, please update this app *2024-01-10, version 3.0* I’ve loved it for years. There’s nothing else like it out there. It’s great to randomly connect via photos with people from all over the world, and I’ve had “conversations” that have lasted many years. But the developers need to do an update. The app doesn’t work on iOS 16, and now it’s not even working on the earlier iOS version I have on an older phone. There’s been no update in 7 years! I hope the developers fix it - I miss this app. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2024-01-04, version 3.0* My app just keeps crashing I can't get past the take your first picture screen 😭 ### 1/5 — Only crashes *2023-10-11, version 3.0* This app only crashes and should be taken down if it’s not going to be supported ### 1/5 — Obsolete *2023-07-28, version 3.0* This app doesn’t work anymore.

App auto shuts down after opening ### 1/5 — What happened?! *2023-06-25, version 3.0* Had been a long time user of the app until they decided to stop update the app to support latest iOS version.

The app was great when it did work on earlier iOS revisions. ### 5/5 — Photoswap to Marriage *2021-03-21, version 3.0* My husband and I met by chance 10 years ago on this app! We got married 10 years later to the day we met! The app was fun and brought together two people from different states! ### 5/5 — Hey *2020-03-15, version 3.0* Very nice app but you should be able to use photos from your photo album and you should be able to choose the between male or female to share with ### 5/5 — I genuinely like this app *2019-04-09, version 3.0* Good app ### 5/5 — Photoswap = PhotoFUN 🐑 *2016-11-06, version 3.0* 🐑 This app is a fun way to meet people and see things across oceans and continents. There's something for everyone here! In my opinion, the key to a perfect Photoswap combination is: fun + creative + playful + clever. Keep up the good work, and Dudes, PLEASE try to keep it in your pants!!! 👎 🎣Where's my hand model?🎣 ### 5/5 — Hilarious *2016-06-25, version 2.1* Photoswap is the best app in the App Store if your into swapping penis pictures with strange men....i would give it a 7inch star rating overall. ### 5/5 — Great app, questionable users *2015-02-24, version 2.1* Let's be honest: the app does exactly what it is supposed to do. You send a pic and get a random pic from another user in return. Simple enough. What the problem is, is not with the app but the users. Yes, a lot of peen pics. But I have had a lot of fun sending true photography pics back and forth with users, and it's the most fun if the person is on the other side of the globe. If someone randomly sends you an inappropriate picture without you giving any inclination that you wanted one, report it. Don't punish the app for the stupidity of its users. I have had this app since 2008 and have had a blast with it. The only issue is that it drains battery life more than any other app I have, even with moderate use. Also, I wish it had a messaging feature so if you do have a great time with another swapper, you can ask for their contact info without having to take a picture of a piece of paper with a question on it. Otherwise this app is a blast when you have a few minutes of time to kill, or you have something beautiful to photograph and want to share it with a total stranger. ### 5/5 — Fun *2014-05-03, version 2.1* Lots of people all over the world sharing photos. I've made a few friends through this and really enjoy it. There are a lot of lonely dudes you need to ignore tho. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
