### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-05-08*

This app is perfect.  Lets me pick any month and then breaks it into time periods if there are too many photos.  Lets me pick and save vs pick and delete the unpicked.  Will also let you batch move photos into albums/folders. Cute waves sound when cleaning photos.  It just works.  I am very impressed as I have tried many many photo cleaning apps and this wins hands down. I had to get lifetime.
