### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore?

*2026-01-30, version 3.4*

It was a good app but now it just sits on a black screen?? No matter how many times I reopen or restart my phone

### 2/5 — Does not remove metadata

*2025-06-14, version 3.4*

Useful for viewing metadata and adding information, but the remove metadata function simply does not perform.  Data is still attached to photo.

### 5/5 — Everyone should use this on all photos to remove metadata

*2025-03-24, version 3.4*

Nobody should be sending/sharing/posting photos without using or going through this tool to do so.  Safeguard yourself and loved ones by removing metadata

### 1/5 — Not the same

*2024-11-17, version 3.4*

Unable to load new photos.  Something is missing

### 5/5 — Great EXIF Tool

*2024-10-09, version 3.4*

I use to remove EXIF data, very effective.

### 4/5 — Works great for multiple photos, just one issue

*2024-08-16, version 3.3*

I use this before I share or send out any photo.  I can select multiple photos and remove their EXIF data one at a time.

The biggest issue is that the photo’s brightness levels are affected. I suspect it’s HDR, and ViewExif can’t handle it.

### 1/5 — もういらないアプリ

*2024-07-30*

特段何かできるわけでもなく、今は標準のフォトでも見れるしいじれるから全く不要なアプリ。

I paid for this app and nothing worked at all!! Do not purchase.

### 1/5 — App crashes when used

*2024-04-03, version 3.3*

The app just crashes when trying to set keywords and the developer hasn’t responded to emails. It may be abandoned.

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK! (iOS 17.4)

*2024-03-19, version 3.3*

Keywords and descriptions do not show up in photos metadata on iOS or MacOs
