I can’t complain but there’s a couple glitches that I can’t really get my head round one of them being every time I video comes on. It starts flashing in your face. I feel like this could be very dangerous for people who are sensitive to light. Secondly, the app sometimes crashes for absolutely no reason.. the reason I’m giving it a three star is because of the flashing when it’s on a video super annoying and could be dangerous ### 2/5 — Good but a problem *2025-03-15, version 1.2.42* So I was trying this app but after 19 PHOTOS DELETED it already made me pay so I would reconsider another app ### 4/5 — It’s a pretty good app *2024-10-22, version 1.2.39* Yes you get to cleen your photos and stuff but you can only do one month per 3 hours so if you want to wait that long you can get the app but if you don’t have patience like me, I would prefer you not to get it ### 4/5 — Good *2024-08-21, version 1.2.37* I like the way it works obviously the 2 hour timer is kind annoying but I don’t want to do it all in one sitting anyways and compared to the ones you have to pay for it’s great ### 2/5 — The app is cool and all but… *2024-06-11, version 1.2.11* I wish I could see the whole photo instead of a zoomed in version. If this is intentional, then maybe you could make a setting for me to zoom it to fit the screen? Setting a custom range of what you could sort through would also be beneficial as well. It would be cool if it had the ability to select a picture for later that I haven't decided on if I want to keep or not. Like a star button, maybe? Also, if the app had a built-in feature that you can turn on and off to save your progress of decluttering through the month. By this, I mean saving your spot before you exit the app so that when you come back, you can resume the decluttering process where you left off. It would also be a nice feature to be able to sift between Lives, Bursts, etc.. Again, you could make them disableable individually in the settings and you’d also have a label of what the type is in the corner ex. Live, Burst, GIF, Video and the duration of the video as well. Anyways, great idea. Sad Apple doesn’t get smart ideas like this. Edit 6-10-24: Wow, do I have quite a lot to say this time. Okay, so I haven't used this app within months, and today I redownloaded it to test it against another app that's similar in concept to this one and, wow, I was extremely disappointed. In the more than ten... actually, I think significantly more than ten updates you've done since I left my last review. You've improved noticeably nothing, didn't listen to my request, and introduced new bugs possibly, maybe I just didn’t use the app enough to encounter them idk. The four new ones I encountered were after selecting “On This Day” which included 26 photos, it reviewed photos from last year, which makes no sense. Another was the screen flipping upside down after selecting yes or no. Another one was the app going in a weird, unusable landscape mode. And lastly, and most important, when I tried to review the photos at the end to delete them, the app just completely crashed, and I lost all my progress. You also didn’t even include your new app icon in the icon settings so if you switch off it, you lose it. I can't believe you've done seemingly nothing in all these updates. Wow… not considering redownloading ever. ### 5/5 — Fun way to clear the clutter *2024-04-26, version 1.1.43* I have an overwhelming amount of duplicate photos, but this makes it fun to get rid of a bunch and clear up space! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2024-04-03, version 1.1.25* Great app for cleaning up photos! ### 1/5 — Does not respect Privacy *2024-04-03, version 1.1.25* App does not let you even access it unless you grant it FULL access to every single photo on your device. You can’t even temporarily grant full access, then restrict it to one album, for example. It detects the change upon returning to the all and kicks you back to the welcome screen. It’s 2024. Respect your users privacy wishes. ### 5/5 — App ❤ *2024-04-03, version 1.1.25* Love this app ### 2/5 — The app is cool and all but… *2024-04-02* I wish I could see the whole photo instead of a zoomed in version. If this is intentional, then maybe you could make a setting for me to zoom it to fit the screen? Setting a custom range of what you could sort through would also be beneficial as well.

Anyways, great idea. Sad Apple doesn’t get smart ideas like this. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and kind words Diray 🙏 I love the suggestions had have added them to the roadmap for development. - I will work on quickly adding the ability to adjust the ‘zoom’ to fit the entire image instead of zooming in all the way. - And yes, I am actively working on the ability to save a user’s progress when swiping through a months so that they don’t have to complete the entire month in one sitting! - I think you idea of the ability to sift between Lives, Bursts, etc is a great point. I am going to look into how I can add this 🙃 If you are facing any other issues, or just want to share more feedback, please reach out to support@happiiapps.com. Your feedback makes a difference and we are always trying to make the app better! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I have been trying to cancel since Feb with no help *2026-05-28, version 2.0.1* I keep being charged each month even thought I have tried to contact them numerous times and am being charged 39.99 a month for an app I do not use and have not used ### 1/5 — Bad service *2025-12-28, version 1.2.42* No responses on chat I want it cancelled ### 1/5 — NEEDS SUBSCRIPTION *2025-12-08, version 1.2.42* One star because it requires subscription to use ### 1/5 — Charged my card for no reason. *2025-01-26, version 1.2.42* i used the 3 day free trial subscription and i canceled it the same day because i didn’t like it, and it still charge my card even though i canceled the subscription before the free trial ended. i’m not sure why but please get in touch with me so we can come to a agreement because i would like my money back. ### 1/5 — Works until it doesn’t *2025-01-10, version 1.2.42* This app has the potential of being amazing. It’s so easy and takes very little time to do a number of them at a time. The problem is that after awhile, the app stops working. The first time it was something on their end (from what they told me) and it did resume to work. This last time, all I could get was a blank white screen. I had the lifetime option and I didn’t want to lose it so I attempted to contact the creator for help. I first tried chat. No response. I then tried email. No response. I went ahead and deleted the app and then reinstalled it. Lifetime did not follow so I deleted it again and gave up. :( It’s not a ratable app if it doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Highly recommended *2024-11-22, version 1.2.39* This work so good delete what needs to be deleted and gets the job done ### 1/5 — Not functional *2024-11-04, version 1.2.39* Doesnt actually delete photos off your phone 🫶🏻 completely wastes your money ### 1/5 — Lied about free trial and will refuse to contact me back *2024-09-11, version 1.2.38* I accepted the free trail to this app and after a few days I was to be charged $7.99. I was charged $35 instantly removed from my bank account with no warning. My ‘plan’ still says free trial and then $7.99, they don’t even offer a $35 pack so I have no idea how they are going to justify taking this money from my account. No response at all when I have contacted them every single day ### 1/5 — Avoid *2024-04-04, version 1.1.26* Misleading subscription prices. Better apps out there ### 1/5 — 无法获取内购 *2024-04-04, version 1.1.25* 既然限免就应该让用户获取到，藏的那么严实 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What a great time saver *2026-02-14, version 1.3.1* Timesaver!
