### 2/5 — Vary good

*2026-07-01, version 3.6*

Performance

### 2/5 — Forced rating

*2026-06-22, version 3.6*

I was forced to rate the app to be able to continue through the app. I think that’s playing dirty, so I came back to leave a review. It found one exact match and almost 200 ‘similar’ photos, most of which were recipes. And, they were so tiny I had to click each single photo and most would not load. I know I have several duplicate albums, which is why I was hoping this app would work. There is no control in this app and the results are frustrating. Don’t waste your time.

### 2/5 — What?

*2026-04-30, version 3.6*

To many of my photos came up & grouped as similar that we no where no where near. A bunch of ‘different’ (like 11 photos in a group) receipts & one real photo of someone. Then when I started tapping on them to see the different a crazy amount of them showed their size & looked alike but then would come blank with 0 size. That’s when I really got worried & backed out.

### 5/5 — Worked perfectly

*2026-04-09, version 3.6*

It did exactly what it said it was going to do without any ads or asking me to pay once. Great app

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-04-01, version 3.6*

It’s free for the duplicate photoWhich most apps aren’t and I like this app because it’s free

### 5/5 — good app

*2026-04-01, version 3.6*

good free app for gettng rid of dupes :)

### 5/5 — Outstanding App

*2026-03-30, version 3.6*

This App is almost perfect. It finds about 99% of duplicate photos and does not leave cookies.

### 2/5 — Slow

*2026-03-22, version 3.6*

Takes several minutes to check 3000 pictures. If you minimise it, it takes MUCH longer. Painfully slow, but bearable if you set it running in the foreground and go out for a meal and drinks.

### 5/5 — Does what it claims

*2026-03-19, version 3.6*

It found exact duplicates and when I put the scanner on 80% it found matches that were almost duplicates. I was able to reclaim a lot of space on my iPhone.

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2026-03-18, version 3.6*

Great app. Does what it says it does nothing more nothing less and very easy to use

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-09, version 3.6*

I had over 7000 pictures. I’m gonna try and do it again. I don’t know if it got them all cause I only had 38 duplicates but so far it’s a great app.

### 5/5 — Remo

*2026-03-07, version 3.6*

Free to use so 5 stars from me

### 5/5 — The best out there!

*2026-03-01, version 3.6*

Fast and accurate. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Duplicate finder

*2026-02-28, version 3.6*

This is so vert easy to use 👏👏👏

### 5/5 — Perfect.

*2026-02-07, version 3.6*

Just what I wanted; an easy to use app which removes my duplicate photos.

### 3/5 — Exact are great finds

*2026-02-03, version 3.6*

“Similar”, aren’t even close. Doesn’t allow you to see clearly just shows a blur you are supposed to decide on

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Never would finish scanning photos

*2026-08-16, version 3.6*

Took over two hours to scan, completely drained battery, and never finished scanning.

### 1/5 — Only does photos, they have this feature already

*2026-07-28, version 3.6*

Trash what’s the point of an app that  your iPhone already does, it’s dumb

### 1/5 — Kept timing out

*2026-02-14, version 3.6*

My phone is completely full so I need to get rid of duplicates. When I started the process it only got to about 3000 pictures because it timed out and had to restart.

### 1/5 — Useless.

*2026-01-27, version 3.6*

Downloaded this 3 days ago and have spent the past 3 days trying to open the app, restart the process, and all to no avail. Nothing works and I’m so confused how there are so many positive reviews when this app DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I don’t know if there’s a new update or something that ruined the functionality of the service but let me be so clear: THE APP DOESNT WORK AT ALL. I do not like the idea of giving all my private photos to an app for it to not even work.

### 1/5 — Junk!

*2026-01-15, version 3.6*

I used to use this frequently and it worked great!  It’s supposed to scan in the background so you can multitask while it runs, but every time I come back to it, it starts all over again or is on the “start scan” page.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2025-11-25, version 3.6*

‘Scanning’ in the background if you minimize (10x slower than when opened) and then crashes hahahah what a garbage app

### 1/5 — Isn’t working

*2025-11-19, version 3.6*

First couple times I used it it seemed to work well. Now it’s only finding 4 duplicates when I can see many others.. I edit photos over and over with tiny changes and it found none of them

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-19, version 3.6*

It only identified 1 single duplicate photo, out of numerous duplicates on my phone. Free doesn’t mean anything if it simply doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2025-09-20, version 3.6*

Beware. Lots of bugs

### 1/5 — I’ve got HUNDREDS of similar photos

*2025-09-09, version 3.6*

I’ve cropped many photos over and over and it can’t even bring them up as “similar” so I can delete them. >>Either that or I don’t know how to use the app correctly

*2026-07-18, version 3.6*

C’est la seule appli de cleaning qui est sans pub

### 5/5 — LIFE SAVER

*2026-06-17, version 3.6*

Thank you my phone decided to duplicate 899 photos!!! This was so fast!

### 5/5 — Fantastic and easy to use duplicate cleaner

*2026-05-08, version 3.6*

I tested this app with a folder of about 5000 pix
It was effortless-and better than any I've tried in the past.
I bought it at once.
I do have a problem trying to install the whole programme though-so I'm in touch with tech support.
I don't even want to try another.
Normally-I'd try another- but this one is perfect for me.
Instead of your duplicates being shown individually- the duplicates appear on a number strip that you can delete with one click.

### 5/5 — This App is Awesome!

Very simple to use and it works great! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Simple

### 5/5 — Best remover so far!

### 5/5 — TOP APP

*2026-04-11, version 3.6*

this is free and the best I could found I’m stress out since aboutpicture a lot and this is help me a lot
