They have now introduced pop up ads which pretty much make the ad unusable. The ad blocks the screen and quite often cannot be closed anymore. I support ads to help developers finance the app, but not when it regresses the user experience. Also the subscription is very expensive - it costs more per week(!) than monthly costs for extra storage with iCloud by a few terabytes, which defeats the purpose of the app! Subscription fatigue is real. ### 2/5 — Constant crashing *2026-10-08, version 4.1.12* Apps brilliant but recently it’s absolutely unusable can’t even select a group of photos to go through without it crashing ### 2/5 — Ad free? Not anymore *2026-10-05, version 4.1.12* Loved this app and used its most days. But the developers have recently decided to add 1 minute long unskippable ads after around 40 swipes, which when you have 100’s of pictures to sort through some days, has become unmanageable. I get that companies need revenue but that’s why you could purchase a premium version where you have unlimited swipes each day and better filter options. For the ‘free version’ I don’t mind seeing ads as mini pop ups or thumbnails on the screen but not full screen unskippable videos. Disappointed doesn’t even cover it and the description on the app still says ‘ad free’… ### 2/5 — Was a perfect app until… *2026-10-02, version 4.1.12* This app was perfect for helping me clear my photo space until the last update. Unskippable video ads were added and they destroyed the flow. Unfortunately will have to delete after seeing this. Looking into alternatives now. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-10-01, version 4.1.12* Great concept, but so many ads it’s way too annoying to use. Really frustrating and disruptive ### 2/5 — Много рекламы *2026-10-01* После обновления стало очень много рекламы , невозможно очищать ( **Developer response:** Hi there! Please note that we don't directly manage the ads shown in our apps. Ad lengths can vary, meaning some might take longer to close. We recommend waiting for the close option. However, if you're having persistent trouble closing an ad, please contact our support team for assistance. Best regards, Mau ### 2/5 — Was good, ruined by AI ads *2026-09-29, version 4.1.11* Used to be brilliant. Pay to increase swipes. Now, every dozen swipes you have to watch some disgusting AI slop ad with no possibility of skipping. Absolute rubbish. Deleted. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-09-26, version 4.1.11* This app is pretty good it lets u sort ur pics and actually deletes them from ur camera roll!!!! 4 stars because it only lets you sort like 10 pictures a day. ### 1/5 — Жалею, что обновила *2026-09-25* Слишком много рекламы стало. Сделайте ее хотя бы при заходе в приложение или после удаление фотографий Но никак не во время просмотра фотографий! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to read you are not satisfied with the ads on our app. However, it is important to note that the ads allow us to continue providing the services that our community enjoys. We hope you can understand and appreciate our position and you will still express your creativity with our app. Best, Mau ### 1/5 — $7.99 a WEEK? *2026-09-25, version 4.1.11* If it were about $5/month I would absolutely pay for this. $7.99 a week is maybe the most unhinged price I’ve ever seen for features this basic. Y’all are completely divorced from reality if you think that’s a reasonable price. ### 1/5 — USED to be great *2026-09-25, version 4.1.11* The free version of this app used to be amazing. I was totally fine with only getting a certain amount of swipes per day….now, they have added adds that last upwards of 30 seconds before you can close them and some never give the option to close them and you have to kill the app which then causes an issue where pictures you chose to delete, are not actually deleted….so essentially the free version of this app is completely unusable now because of the apps. ### 1/5 — New ads *2026-09-24, version 4.1.11* The new ads won’t go away until you are forced to hit the open play store link. Pretty lame. Ruined a good app. ### 3/5 — Full Screen Ads *2026-09-24, version 4.1.11* I loved using Picnic to clean out my old unwanted photos. It’s saved me over 3 GB over the course of a year. But today I had to uninstall it because not only does the free tier have one ad inserted every five photos you swipe, now they have full-screen ads that force you to watch a video before they can be dismissed. That was the last straw. Goodbye, Picnic. ### 1/5 — Amazing app that became unusable *2026-09-23, version 4.1.11* Became unusable in the free version due to excessive ads. This used to be an amazing app but then incorporated ads every 5 swipes which you could swipe away if you wanted. I almost stopped using it but it was bearable and I understood they needed to make some money somehow on the free tier. However it’s now become totally unusable with the addition of fullscreen ads. I understand the need for monetisation but I don’t believe in this way of doing it where you drive your free users to insanity and grind them down to a point where they just fork out for a subscription due to ad burnout. I used to use this daily for years and paid premium when I could for unlimited swipes and nice to have features, not to get rid of ads. Now I won’t be using OR paying at all again ever. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2026-09-23, version 4.1.11* $9.99/week to delete pictures or create albums? Seriously ? It doesn’t even allow you to delete dublicates all at once. You need to do it one by one. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dissatisfied and disappointed *2026-10-12, version 4.1.13* New update added ads in the middle of reviewing photos - would rather ads if they must be there be at the beginning or end. Also got glitchy and doesn’t actually successfully delete photos. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-10-09, version 4.1.13* I never waste my time doing these but your app is that trash. Full of ads begging me for money doing the simplest thing. Takes longer to delete 3 photos from my archive on the app then my iPhone does manually. ### 1/5 — Used to be great, now it’s unusable *2026-10-09, version 4.1.13* This app was easily the best way to sort through photos, even with just the free version you could do it once a day and get through all of your clutter without having to pay. Now they’ve added really intrusive, scammy ads that take up the whole screen and are essentially unskippable for minutes. They are so frequent that you cant even really use the app - and sorry, I’m not paying a bunch of money to get rid of them. I can already delete photos in the native iPhone photos app, obviously, without giant intrusive ads, so I’ll be uninstalling PicNic. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-10-07, version 4.1.12* This was my favorite app to clean my gallery, i’ve used it every day maintaining my streak, and everything was perfect, until.. i decided to update it, and after there started to pop up A LOT OF ADS, you cannot close them, they are popping up every two minutes, its just annoys and using picnic now became a bad experience ### 1/5 — Charged double and they store your data *2026-10-06, version 4.1.12* I was charged double the subscription when I first got this and they apologized and gave me a lifetime subscription which I thought was a great deal so I agreed. Everything worked wonders until the one year period came up and they cut off my lifetime. I'm hearing a lot of people say the same thing and they don't respond on social media and you can't contact them in the app as the button doesn't work. Also recently found out in their contract they have a very broad license to use your photos elsewhere (and remember you give access to all your images on your phone) it's just a huge ICK factor! Just don't. ### 1/5 — ADS ARE TOO MUCH *2026-10-04, version 4.1.12* too many VERY LONG ADS ### 1/5 — Asking for a rating during onboarding *2026-09-30, version 4.1.11* Ridiculous ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-09-30, version 4.1.11* This app used to be good, rewarding you with more swipes with daily streaks. Now they just spam you with unskippable multi tier ads, that take 2-3 minutes to get past. ### 1/5 — There are no honest developers anymore *2026-09-29, version 4.1.11* Riddled with ads unless you pay $8 a week. How could this not be a one-time purchase app? Ridiculous. Save your time, find another one. You can make a shortcut on the Shortcuts app that does this in <1 minute. Google it and save your frustration. ### 1/5 — $8 a week to sort photos? lol *2026-09-27, version 4.1.11* Absolutely stupid. You can’t even use it without agreeing to pay $8 a week. Money hungry losers ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP *2026-10-11, version 4.1.13* This app has saved me 2GB of data and I look forward to going on it every day! I 100% recommend! ### 5/5 — WIRTH IT *2026-10-05, version 4.1.12* I saved 60 gigabytes of storage thanks to this app! I think it’d be really beneficial to those whose storage is just images. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-10-03, version 4.1.12* Can’t say enough good things about this app…so useful, so satisfying to see all the junk getting cleared out of my camera roll. Get this app you wont regret it!! ### 5/5 — OMG *2026-10-03, version 4.1.12* Love it my storage was So full now that I’ve used it the past I have only some photos but the only backfire is u only have some swipes a day but really good try now non payment 😊 ### 5/5 — Ajuda de verdade! *2026-10-01* Graças a esse app eu consegui limpar a minha galeria inteira desde o início. Passei mais de um ano usando ele e já apaguei mais de 300 GB, ele torna a faxina menos exaustiva e preguiçosa pq limpar a galeria é mt chato 😅 ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-09-12, version 4.1.11* I just love to scroll through my photos and clear storage ### 5/5 — 之前一直打不开，现在好了 *2026-09-11* 修改评分，还是很好用的，很方便 **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for reaching out.
