ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Exif Metadata Remover Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metadata has 222 ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Metadata's written reviews are positive against 12% of Exif Metadata Remover Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Metadata ships an update every 4 months, Exif Metadata Remover Viewer every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
