Exif Metadata Reviews

I’ve used ExifMetadata for years without issue. About 3-4 weeks ago it stopped working as usual. After I select a photo and “remove all metadata” option, it now keeps all Exif data. 2 months ago, all of that would be deleted. So, if I re-select the same photo and use the “remove Exif” option, it will not remove the Exif.

2-3 months ago, I’d select a photo and all, & I mean all data was removed except for the photo itself. The photo metadata/Exif page was just blank. Not anymore. Now it looks like a CVS receipt after “remove all metadata” or “remove Exif” operations.

This was a once great and simple app. It’s not working even after deleting and reinstalling it.

I have used nearly every EXIF app for iOS. They ALL seem to be missing something another app has. Even all the paid ones. This one is no different. This one is the most complete however. It shows things others don’t (like HDR rendering for example), and it allows you to edit almost all data, which is fantastic. But the problem is, it only works for photos, not videos. This is very disappointing, as it’s incomplete for this reason.

Please add videos, and I will revisit my review. Thanks for an otherwise fantastic photo metadata app!

I would like to know Focus mode, preview size and type, white balance and other information not found here. Most importantly, I am unable to access images that are not in the camera app. I would also like to access pictures on the file system and I keep many of my pictures in a folder on a OneDrive. I’d probably upgrade if it were a bit more complete.

Free version can edit EXIF data, e.g. dates, on iPhone photos, only one file at a time. The interface is clear and well-designed. Ad viewing takes a few seconds after each edit in the free version. Files are saved as JPGs after editing, not in the native iPhone photo format. I am not sure if that’s a shortcoming that can be fixed, or an iOS limitation. Four stars, because it’s a solid app overall despite those minor quirks.

I like most everything. Though I would like to be able to access ExifMetadata directly from the the photos via activities (the way I would if to copy, print or edit with another app like photoshop express etc...)
Also being able to add a free text addition to the address would also be nice. As I was updating old photos and some the location businesses have closed so I was not able to put in an exact place.

I would love to have a feature where I can search images by whether or not they have metadata in them. I changed the date or a ton of photos but when I do that I leave leftover Exif. I learned about this pretty late and have a ton of images with uncleared Exif that I can’t locate. A feature from ExifMetadata where I can search every edited photo or every photo that has uncleared Exif would be great.

**DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO ExifMetadata**
the subscription cancellation process has been altered by removing the cancel subscription option.

The ONLY option is to RENEW THE SUBSCRIPTION!!

There is NO consumer protection from these types of predatory APPS being posted to APPLE STORE by unscrupulous developers who trap the public in recycling subscription fees by making the unsubscribe process cryptic or as in the case of ExifMetadata flagrantly impossible!

The only option is to remove your payment information from APPLE STORE which is patently RIDICULOUS

Class Action needs to be brought against these developers and APPLE for this egregious violation of public trust and outright theft.

The response from this deceitful developer posted below is typical “who me” B.S. blaming their corruption on someone else instead of taking responsibility for their own actions.
To developer:
You want to do right by customers? Then revoke ExifMetadata and suspend all recurring subscriptions until YOU fix the alleged issue with APPLE.

I’ve reviewed a lot of pictures I had without location and date and now when I go back to it, it shows that the location did save but the date is forgotten 😩. I will need to review each picture again to reset the date but I’m hesitant to do it with ExifMetadata again... it would be useful if we could also save the pictures under another name so I can put the date there as well.

EXIF is useful to correct the meta data in a photo that was scanned and has the date of the scan not the date of the original photo.

Only disadvantage is that just year alone can not be selected. Day, month, and time must be entered too. With photos, used for genealogy software, scanned from early 1900’s photo albums, only year is known.

While editing the dates on batches of photos ExifMetadata will crash and shutdown. I’ve tried only editing 10 then 9 then eight and so on but it just crashes randomly. I was really hoping ExifMetadata would help me fix my 70k plus photos. I do like the feature that it will delete the original after saving the new dated photos but the constant crashing is a real nuisance and leaves me looking for a different app.

I’ve use ExifMetadata on the iPad for a couple years now but for some reason once you’ve selected pictures and removed meta-data they “appear” to be in the folders and within ExifMetadata ( it will list the number of photos) but once you click on the folder such as “All Photos” they all disappear.

I also have ExifMetadata on my iPhone and it appears to work as it should.

I don’t do reviews often but this is a great app, and the pro version is very cheap. Another thing is that the free version doesn’t really limit anything, the only things you get with pro is no ads and multiple photos at once, so there’s no actual limiting of features.

I’m going to sell some high-buck snow tires and I don’t want the entire universe on CraigsList to know my street address, latitude and longitude, elevation above sea-level.

ExifMetadata removes all that with one click.

(The free version does have a lot of adds, but they only show After you finish editing.)

The geolocation is shown in a small map within ExifMetadata . It sure would be nice to expand or contract the map to see better there the location actually is. Better yet, have an option that passes the geotag to Apple Maps so I can use that. For example, to get directions to where the photo was taken.

I used the EXIF action from the photos app, and it just slides up with all the information I need. It does it in a beautiful and unobtrusive way. It’s such a delight to use, and I am always impressed with how easy it is to use with the Photos app.

This was a great app, I purchase the pro version and it was okay! But now iOS 15 added their own metadata feature on their photos app, so thank you, I will not be needing ExifMetadata anymore.

ExifMetadata has been fine when I want to change dates and locations, but I can't edit the more detailed info like Orientation, Shutter Speed Value, Subject Area, and other detailed values. Exif Pro doesn't state if you can edit these when you subscribe,and I'm not willing to check it out!😕

I am disappointed in ExifMetadata. I want to add titles to my photos in the same way I do on my Mac. ExifMetadata apparently allows the adding of titles yet when I try to search in the photos app the newly titled photo doesn’t show up. What is the point of editing Metadata if I can’t use it outside ExifMetadata . Perhaps if this is ever fixed I will give a better review. I was willing to pay for ExifMetadata if this has worked. Please, can this be fixed ?

Can easily change location and date to match original photos that I have preserved by taking pictures of them. Would be 5 stars but there doesn't appear to be paid option to delete the ads.

I knew right away I would need this. It is easy to use, just tap and get your pix, choose from the menu at the bottom and push to erase the metadata. You can also rewrite. Just simple.

I downloaded this on a whim wondering how to find out quickly how to save some favorite site locations for a gps map for customers. I love it. It takes your photo and provides the exact gps location it was taken from!!! Now if it could gather all your fave coordinates and create a map....heaven!!!

I love ExifMetadata they made it real easy and no hassle to add a location to a photo in any format that it may be in on ur device iv tried 2 other apps for this one and i couldn't add a location on my jpg formate photos but ExifMetadata lets me
