★★★★★ "Misleading ads & overpriced. The add I saw specifically said “free” and yeah maybe the app is free to download, but to actually use it, it’s not free. That was specified in the ad. I was gonna let it slide and maybe give it chance anyway, but naah. Pretty overpriced" - Dankel_homie

★★★★★ "Kind of a scam. App immediately tries to have you pay $10 WEEKLY for this app. After a three day trial. I’m sure the app works wonderfully but who would pay a Netflix subscription to delete photos." - AnonymouslyFaith

Too expensive
:/
ADS AND PAID CONTENT
wants you to watch ads to use the app and pay to use it
Nope. Just NO.
Way too expensive. WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY MONEY TO CLEAN MY PHONE!!!!!!??????
Pay-to-win
Why do i need to subscribe to an UnLiMiTeD sWiPe SuBsCrIpTiOn?? Without it, i need to wait 8 HOURS just to delete a few photos…
Overpriced
I like the thought of this app, I just don’t like how it’s $40 every month just to delete photos.
Scam
Pulled 10 dollars out twice a month. Not worth it at all.
Kind of a scam
App immediately tries to have you pay $10 WEEKLY for this app. After a three day trial. I’m sure the app works wonderfully but who would pay a Netflix subscription to delete photos.
Insane that you expect people to pay for this.
Insane
It basically worked
When I downloaded the app I was doing the swipe thing. Then one day I went into into my photos all of the photos I was deleting and stuff they were still there. So after that I deleted the app.
hey i’m over here
I think that there is an issue with this app. When I was trying to allow it to access my photos and notifications, it doesn’t let me move on from that page. Please fix this.
Awful app
$10 weekly and if you cancel the free trial they break the app. Forces a black loading screen every time you open the app. If I could attach screen shots I would.
Way too many ads
It would be pretty good if there weren’t so many eyes they are like a couple of ads of a swipes and then you have to wait about an hour before you can do more and the ads aren’t short ads either they are long ads that are sometimes a minute or too long
Hate it!!
Okay so I got this app a couple of days ago and just this morning it asked me to access my camera roll. I probably would give it way more stars if it actually worked! Every time I go on the app I can’t because on the loading screen it says error occurred, like what the heck!!!! One Star!!
THIS SUCKS
Wtf is wrong with developers these days?! Who is gonna pay $9.99 per week for some dumb photo deleting app?
Seriously, move out of your mom’s basement and get a real job instead of making these dumb overpriced apps!

The app won’t open and stays on phone after deleting
So. Saw an add to clear up space apple devices but when I downloaded it from the App Store it refused to open. No matter what I did, it would not open. Bit of a lapse of judgement on my part for downloading this app but eh, we all make mistakes
WHY U GOTTA PAY TO REMOVE PHOTOS JS USE ÜR CAMERA AND PRESS DELETE !
yall apps these days r actually like why u have to pay 70 smth dollars a year for this thing no joke I saw the add said I should try I need to clear my space best way to clear ü space is delete apps vids and pics and this is app is an app ü should delete cus u gotta pay for a thing I will only use like a few times a year rlly a three day trail no thx I’ll use my camera this is ridiculous not even gonna try the trail im 9 I am not for this I got a mouth of an 45 yr old aunt that got divorced over mash potato’s and I will add an app that doesn’t require 70 smth dollars

This app Is an ugly money hungry one.
This app sucks. I literally just want to easily clear space without having to pay money for doing so. This app is money hungry. No I don’t want to pay $9.99 a month just to DELETE PHOTOS. Don’t download this app worst app I’ve ever come across money hungry wise.
Scam
I went through my Apple account to cancel my subscription and it’s still trying to charge me 2 weeks later
Still charging me
I canceled the subscription and I’m still getting charged for the service and I sent an email to them about the issue. They have been trying to charge me since the 1st of June and I canceled before that! I canceled on the app and on Apple! I just want it to stop and get my money back!
If we wanted to pay… we’d use iCloud storage
90% of people only want to clear storage so they DONT have to pay for storage.
poor business don’t support
they’re literally forcing you to pay for a small assist in cleaning your gallery. greedy people i won’t even get the free trial. had this app before they got greedy and it was great.
Overpriced
Deleting and looking elsewhere. The weekly subscription is insane and if you don't want weekly then pay yearly. Yeah an app like this should just be 5$ a month maximum
owners got greedy
this used to be a really good app and a great tool for deleting photos, i used it back in 2022-2023. however ive noticed they have gotten very greedy, there is now ads every 5 photos you swipe through. and also no free trial, very greedy.
Why would I pay??
Seems useless ngl- u want me to pay to be able to swipe and delete photos and keep photos-I would maybe use this if I didn’t have to pay to clean up storage on my phone😐👎
.
Lowkey worked for a day then stopped entirely working
FAKE
This app is a huge lie! i’ve downloaded this app multiple times and it hasn’t deleted a single photo. I’ve swiped through multiple photos that I wanted to delete and I would go back to my album and nothing would be deleted. I don’t know if this is a bug, but I’m pretty sure this app is full of lies.
IDK
If I swipe right to keep and I swipe left to delete five minutes later, I will get scammed. I hate this app. It’s a scam.
Easy but I’m not paying to go through my photos
Like it looks super easy to use and fun and all but I’m not doing this “free trial” when I could just go through my camera roll myself
Don’t buy it
It so overpriced don’t get it and honestly if you just select your photos it takes way less time
jordan
jordan said he’s only allowed to use the app and i’m banned so i guess i’m no longer able to use it which is bad so one star
lame
this add stupid asf gotta wait to delete your photos like what
Wasn’t free
I was trying to do the free trial but it was gonna make me pay so I didn’t end up do anything. More apps need to be free so then more people would buy them. 😔
Goes wrong
Deletes the photos i want and keeps the photos i dont want.
Misleading ads & overpriced
The add I saw specifically said “free” and yeah maybe the app is free to download, but to actually use it, it’s not free. That was specified in the ad. I was gonna let it slide and maybe give it chance anyway, but naah. Pretty overpriced
Decent
Good app, I just wish it was free
Scam
It didn’t even delete the photos it’s a lie
