### 3/5 — Sort by size (video) doesn’t work

*2024-09-17*

Sort by size (video) doesn’t work

### 4/5 — Good overall - UX is a bit tedious

*2024-07-02*

The filters for selecting what to delete are meh, they don’t really suit needs. I want to see the full list of photos and drag over multiple photos to bulk select entire lines, allowing me to skip images I’d like to keep. Much like how deleting images works in the apple photos app. 

The current UX means I have to still tap one by one which photos I’d like to keep after “selecting all”. so it gets the job done but its still tedious

### 3/5 — Sorting not working

*2021-09-13*

I used to use this app for deleting large videos due to there is a very intelligent way to sort the videos by size. Unfortunately now it is not working !! Please gentlemen look in to it and solve it ASAP

### 4/5 — Amazing app but

*2021-08-16*

Amazing app used it long time. However videos sort by size doesn’t work anymore (they’re just ordered by date). 🤷🏼‍♂️

### 4/5 — Great App for finding stuff you don’t even remember

*2020-10-03*

Helps to housekeep. Memes you wonder “why the hell did keep this? “

### 4/5 — Works great (mostly)

*2020-08-13*

Works great, my 2 years old often takes pictures and videos using lock screen. And I had to delete them one by one. This app helps me filter by date to delete recent.
What i miss is automatic recent filter instead of selecting date range.

### 3/5 — Caution. Works BUT Avoid large live pic deletes

*2019-12-01*

Did couple of tests and things were fine. BUT trying to delete 6000 Live Photo videos crashed the app and deleted all my pics!!!  Was able to undelete them thankfully but still problematic as real Deletes were mixed with App failure.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t preserve order

*2018-12-10*

Downloaded this to remove live versions, but all it does is “duplicate as image” (creates a new image, dated today, at the end of your photo roll) which is already available in iOS. Apple says “refund not available”

**Developer response:** Hi, when you tap on Live Photos, the app only removes the ‘Live’ portion of the photo. The photo stays as in hence you will see the photo available in the camera roll. Maybe we will add an option in the future to delete only the Live portion of the photo OR delete the entire photo along with the live photo.

### 3/5 — Would be good if it worked. Just crashes when I️ hit screenshots button

*2017-11-17*

Would be 5 stars if it didn’t crash every time I hit the screenshots button.

### 5/5 — Very helpful clean up app!

*2017-03-03*

Quick and easy - save space wasted on screen grabs.

### 1/5 — What is the Date?

*2022-11-21*

I can’t even see the date the screenshot was taken. The left/right doesn’t work when the picture is enlarged. You can’t delete more than about 3,000 screenshots without the app freezing and not deleting any items at all

### 1/5 — doesnt Delete

*2019-06-11*

The app is horrible it doesnt even delete a single picture. Just a waste of money this App is

### 1/5 — Help!! I Can't Delete this App

*2017-12-10*

It seems that I can't delete this app! It's not on my homescreen (obviously) and on my Settings page any more. However, it is still on my App Store's Purchased section and needed to be updated. Tried to update it, but it crashes. I've deleted it a month ago and I'm shocked that it still have access to my phone! Help!!

**Developer response:** Oops that’s strange. We have updated the app with a bunch of tweaks. Can you download the latest version and check if the problems still exist.

### 1/5 — What a Waste!!

*2017-12-01*

I downloaded this app, forgot about it for a couple days, then went into it.  After the opening screen came up I couldn’t even remember what this was “supposed” to do, and the main screen offers no hints.  Some people talk about “Options”...I couldn’t find any “Options”, other than the selection option once it finally “discovered” a few of my 9,000+ photos.  I was hoping this might offer some help with duplicates, etc, but no luck.  
I have over 350 screenshots, but it didn’t identify ANY of them; of my 9k photos, it identified about 24.  
I don’t like app creators who have to act like “artistes” and think it’s somehow “chic” to fail to offer tutorials, FAQ’s, instructions; instead just present a minimal screen and act like anyone “worthy” was born with the necessary knowledge to maximize utility of their artwork.

If you use iCloud, don’t waste your time with this app...it won’t recognize your photos as photos.  If you dig far enough down in the verbiage in the iStore it will mention this.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We will work on the app to make it even more easier and simpler to understand with better onboarding and tutorials. Most of our users love the simplicity - but you are right, it has to functional to a wider audience and not artsy. We have a made a bunch of functionality optimisations in the latest version of the app to make it work better. Please do check and let us if it solves your problems.

### 1/5 — Hasn't worked since I downloaded it

*2017-11-29*

Crashes every time I try to start a scan, feedback button doesn't work, would not recommend.

### 1/5 — Useless keeps crashing

*2017-11-26*

App does not work on iPad mini. It opens but crashes every time you click on the menu to do anything.
Useless.......

### 1/5 — Doubtful??

*2017-11-25*

Display is so small on 6+ that I can not make a decision to reliably delete.

### 1/5 — Most useless app

*2015-11-20*

Thought this app was a great idea. It searched, it deleted and I thought it was great. Until I saw the hundreds of screenshots left on my device. I searched again and it said there were no more screenshots on my device.  Useless.

### 1/5 — Nothing

*2015-10-09*

Does not work. At all. Zero stars.

### 1/5 — Does not work, feel robbed.

*2015-09-14*

So I've had this app for a while, it's been several months since I purchased this app and it still does not work. 

I've emailed the developers several times with no reply. I'll be getting a refund from apple for this app - Apple needs to remove developers like this! 

I know it's not much money but people are buying this app which does not work, they should not be making money from an app that doesn't work!! It just crashes as soon as you press scan.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2022-08-02*

I have a shortcut to help with this but shortcuts isn’t very powerful so it was difficult to do. For 2 lousy bucks this app is great

### 5/5 — Best App for Freeing Storage

*2020-04-11*

I have a 128 GB iPhone, which *sounds* great in theory. In practice, it means I can take photos for months without being forced to review / delete them. Furthermore, my iCloud backups are like 50GB, so Apple is constantly trying to sell me more storage. 

I already pay for Flickr to auto back-up my camera roll, so Screeny is the BEST app to quickly delete photos / videos. And I love the present criteria, i.e.: “delete all photos except favourites.” So easy to use. 👌🏻

**Developer response:** Glad that you like the app. We are working towards making the app better with each iteration and your review is very encouraging. Please help us to spread the word.

### 5/5 — Easiest way to clean out excess snapshots

*2019-03-27*

Just tried this and found I had way too many screen snapshots. (OK, more than, umm, 1000.) This let me clean out many of them, recovering a lot of space. Nice.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2018-11-29*

Don’t use it often but always works great when I do!

**Developer response:** Glad that you like the app. We are working towards making the app better with each iteration and your review is very encouraging. Please help us to spread the word.

Finally clearing some space on my phone and cloud!!

### 5/5 — Lazy Girls Bestfriend

*2017-08-19*

**UPDATE 2yrs LATER-Im Still lazy, and I still ❤️ this app. Yes- 🍏's updated iOS identifies screenshots & organizes these pics into an album on its own, but i still prefer Screeny; purely for the option/satisfaction of removing that 🐂💩xtra album in my photos app,& bc I can see  the storage my SS are occupying, & then how much space Ive freed up👏🏻

2015 Review:I take a ton of screenshots. An obscene number to be honest. This app is a great way to bypass scrolling through my camera roll to pick out the SSs sprinkled in between the actual photos I have on my phone. Could I have saved my 99cents and just taken the time to select them manually? Sure! -but then if I had my life in order enough to keep up with the volume of SSs I take- I wouldn't be that lazy girl who would rather take a screen capture versus writing that information down, so- the $1 was well spent in my opinion.I enjoy knowing how much space I've freed up deleting these pics en masse- perhaps seeing how many unnecessary pics I've deleted will eventually teach me to take fewer SSs?? .... Probably not.

### 5/5 — good

*2017-04-21*

highly recommend! get it!
