Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Exif Manager at 3.4 against Light Magick's 1.0. Exif Manager also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). Light Magick's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 41%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Exif Manager holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exif Manager has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Light Magick's written reviews are positive against 41% of Exif Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Light Magick ships an update every 2 weeks, Exif Manager monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
