The EXIF Manager takes all the images on your device and allows you to compare them in 6 different ways - by Exposure Value, by Shutter Speed, by ISO Rating, by f/stop, by focal length and by camera maker. Select one of the various rows in the table and you'll be shown a screen of images with the relevant information underneath each one. You can then select to view just that image to have a better look at it. Exposure Value Ordering: Each image was taken assuming a certain level of exposure. The f/stop, focal length, shutter speed and iso were set and you took the image. You hoped you that you got the setting correct and the image was properly exposed, but was it? Looking at the images by Exposure Value allows you to check what EV was assumed against what was actually achieved. So if for a given EV value 75% of the images look correctly exposed it is the other 25% that you need to look at. These may be either under or over exposed. The App shows you the relevant settings for each image so you can compared the correct ones with the incorrect ones and learn which of the settings of were wrong. The correctly exposed images can also teach you what setting are required in a similar situation. So when next you're taking pictures in an EV 3 setting (indoors, not particularly bright) you can look at the EV 3 images in the App and check what sort of settings will be required. Shutter Speed Ordering: All images taken with the same shutter speed are collated together. This is useful to look at to see if the images are correctly exposed. If the images for a shutter speed all appear over exposed or under exposed then you know that you are incorrectly using this speed and you should consider changing your use of this speed or changing other setting to make this speed correct. Images may also appear blurred with certain shutter speeds and this also points to the use of too low a speed. ISO Rating Ordering: Most digital cameras have multiple ISO settings and it can be useful to see which ones were taken with which ISO ratings. You might find that you rely too heavily on one specific ISO setting whereas you should consider using a higher rating to enable you to take fast action or low lighting images. F/Stop Ordering: Being able to see what images were taken with what f/stop is another way to see whether you have been selecting the correct f/stop for the exposure to be correct. A quick look at all my f/5.6 images showed images that were under exposed (so if possible I should have been using a lower f/stop or slower shutter speed) but also images that were massively over exposed (so I should have used a much higher f/stop). Focal Length Ordering: The images are ordered based on what focal length was used. This may well show you that you either only use one fixed focal length lens or you may have an variable focal length lens but many of your images are at one extreme or the other and few with any of the other values. You may be missing a few tricks and should try to use the other lengths that are possible. Camera Maker Ordering: The final option is to see which images were taken with with device. With PhotoStream enabled your device will have images on it that were taken with other devices. I load my DSLR images onto my iPad on site to look at them so my DSLR images are also on my iPad. The EXIF Manager is trying to show you other ways to consider the images you take so that you can improve your photo taking abilities. Note: Not all images have all the EXIF data in them that will allow this App to function correctly. In these cases it may not be possible to calculate the Exposure value for the image or the image may basically say very little (images from my iPhone 3G seem to have little EXIF data in them). For the various orderings if the required information is not available then the image is placed in the 'Unknown' set of images.
Echo Memory Keeper for Photos

Echo Memory Keeper for Photos is an audio diary app that lets you record and keep your voice with photos. You can also edit photos, add voice effects, turn them into videos, and share them on social media. SHOOT, RECORD, SHARE ① Pick a photo ② Record up to 60 seconds of voice or sound ③ Create a video with one tap ④ Share anywhere Formats: 9:16 (Story/Reels), 1:1 (Feed). Send someone important a memory with its sound. WHY SOUND? Photos keep what you saw. But often, sound is what brings a memory back. A baby's first laugh. Waves you heard while traveling. The voice that said, "I love you." Tap a photo, and the sound of that day returns. Lighter than video, easy to revisit every day. YOUR VOICE TRANSFORMS TOO — 6 VOICE EFFECTS Apply 6 voice effects to your recordings. High, low, chipmunk, deep, robot, and echo. Turn a baby's voice into chipmunk for fun, or add echo to the sounds of a trip. MAKE MEMORIES MORE BEAUTIFUL — PHOTO EDITING Tap "Edit Photo" to arrange your photos with 4 editing tabs. • Color filters — 8 styles including sepia and monochrome • Overlays — 16 effects with light and frames • Stickers — 60+ emoji stickers • Text — place messages and dates freely 5 SCENES, YOUR WAY Organize memories by scene. Change each scene's icon and name freely. Rename "Baby" to "Grandkids" or "Travel" to "Camping." When the categories fit your life, sorting photos feels more like your own. Start with these five scenes: • Baby — growth milestones • Travel — the air of a place • Pet — keep the voice, too • Anniversary — feelings beyond words • Daily — the small moments that matter YOUR PERSONAL SOUND ENCYCLOPEDIA Go beyond scenes. The sound of your car's engine, a cat's meow, waves at a favorite place. Collect photos and sounds, and build a sound encyclopedia that belongs only to you. VIDEOS, RIGHT WITH YOUR MEMORIES Videos stay in Photos. Echo does not copy them; it saves a reference and thumbnail on your device. EVERY DAY BUILDS UP The more you record, the more your calendar fills. Yesterday. This day one year ago. Revisit memories anytime with the sounds attached to your photos. Each day becomes part of your own timeline. BEFORE YOU SHARE, ADD A LITTLE FINISH Before exporting a video (vertical 9:16 or square 1:1), you can shape the look freely. Add gentle motion to a photo. Change the mood with color filters. Layer light or frame overlays. Adjust the display position so the part you want to show stays centered. In Edit Photo, you can also add stickers and text. With just a little care, the video feels more like your own. RECORD ON THE SPOT FROM APPLE WATCH For moments when there is no time to open the camera, use Apple Watch. Record a voice or sound right from your wrist. The audio memo arrives on your iPhone. Later, choose a photo and attach it at your own pace. Because you can save the sound first, important moments are less likely to slip away. A VOICE TO LEAVE BEHIND If you would like to preserve your voice while you can, Echo can be a meaningful way to do so. Add the story from that time to photos from your younger days. Leave your family a message in your voice, not just in text. When they open the album later, they can hear that voice again. Your records are stored on your device. No account is required, and nothing needs to be uploaded to an external server. PRIVACY FIRST • GPS data stripped automatically from photos • All data stored on your device • No automatic cloud upload PRICING • Free to download — save up to 10 memories at no cost • A one-time premium unlock removes the save limit and adds the Journal / Gallery themes (no extra charges) About purchases: Unlock is a one-time purchase (non-renewing).
