Flashback can be used to record change of a variety of things. Here are some examples below. - Take a selfie and enjoy the changes in your face and hairstyle - Check the healing of a wound every day and see how it is progressing on video - Check your daily motivation for dieting, muscle training, etc. - Record the growth of fast-growing children, houseplants, etc. - Just record something (my friend seems to use it to record fishing catches!) Also, you can take beautiful pictures with the grid and the translucent previous picture. Enjoy your own Flashback!

REVISIT YOUR MEMORIES & CLEAN YOUR PHOTOS Your camera roll gets messy fast. And when you try to clean it, it’s easy to lose your place, delete the wrong photo, or miss the moments that actually matter. WipeSwipe makes cleanup fast (and kinda addictive). It’s like Tinder for your camera roll: - Swipe right to keep the photos you want - Swipe left to archive the ones you don’t - Pick up instantly where you left off (no more losing your spot) - When you’re done, review your archived photos or delete them all at once No more deleting photos one by one. No more second-guessing. Just a simple flow that helps you stay organized and keep the memories you care about. 100% PRIVATE + SECURE Your photos never leave your phone. WipeSwipe runs fully locally. We don't store or upload your media anywhere. Privacy Policy: www.wipeswipes.com Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WipeSwipe at 5.0 against Flashback's 4.0. WipeSwipe also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Flashback's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

WipeSwipe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WipeSwipe has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
