UPDATE: Ok, for some reason Iâm no longer getting the problem I mentioned below. The app is working like it used to for me. Which is great. So Iâm updating this review & stars. Recommended!! [Old Review: Oh guys, I really loved this app. It was small, simple & fast. But like seemingly ever great app has happenâĶsomeone had to go in and mess things up. For example: Changing a photoâs name. You used to be able to simply âSave asâ on a photoâs name, rename it, then save. Easy peasy. But I guess a moron at âMetaphoâ thought âLetâs add more stepsâĶâ, so now when you do this it tries to save in your file system folders. Uhm, thatâs not what I wanted. So you have open the photo in Metaphor and rename then save it. This tells me that the ability is still there, but someone screwed up the widget, or whatever USED TO WORK. Get it together guys. Or fans & customers will just move on. And in a short time, this app will end up in the graveyard like the others who broke a good thing.]
Nice app, if you donât want to share your info!

Iâve been using Metapho for a couple years, seems like and wow, theyâre all over the app with consistent update frequency. Their customer service (if you need, you wonât) is quick and easy to follow their instructions if applicable. It does allow for deep metadata cleaning as well. While itâll take a bit more space - it does what it claims aplomb. And the $3 âsupport donationâ (I wouldnât call this an IAP, in reality software and programs that were this capable were a âc note!â If available, and could be only run on a desktop machine with plenty of power and time. Today, for a three dollar bill itâs done in milliseconds, hardly noticeable anything was done!!It was and it does. I was skeptical initially and emailed myself as well as downloaded from my FTP site several JPEG TIFF & other formats including slide scan files and analog snaps of a couple hundred albums for the family. I use it as a data âfillerâ usually but Iâve definitely benefited from the app in situations where the metadata isnât something I want shared with the snap Keep up the excellent work, itâs an indispensable app for those who want or need its ability to scramble, eliminate or all together make the metadata disappear Thanks
Great Experience...with One Major Setback

Enjoying using the app so far. It has lots of amazing features, and is far ahead of competition in terms of user experience. HoweverâĶðŦĢOne thing that would take this app to the next level would be a feature that sorts your images based on select metadata. I mainly downloaded this app in hopes of having easy access to my photosâ IPTC data without sacrificing my time and sanity using Canon native apps. And while it largely does just that, this app unfortunately lacks and desperately needs a way to comb through the hundreds of photos a user (like me) has taken based on star ratings or other useful criteria. I would happily commit to a monthly/yearly subscription if this issue was addressed in the next major feature update. But overall excellent app execution that meets the needs of many ðââïļ
Must Have.

I donât have the paid version, I donât need it. But Iâve been using it for I think years and itâs always worked perfectly. Great if your an amateur and you just want to check the pixel dimensions of an image from iMessage or sms or if your a pro whoâs importing DSLR photos and need to see your EV when studying your shots on the go. Like another review said, Apple is lacking by not having this natively and this app perfectly makes up for it. (Google photos also shows some of the exif data I believe so some people probably use that) Also itâs perfect because you can see the data in the Apple photos app: click share (box with arrow) and then select Metapho even if you arenât sending it but just to view. (You can select multiple at once and the interface is the same as in the app BRILLIANT!) Customize to put Metapho close to the top of the share options list to streamline the workflow :)
âĒ More stable scroll position; less disorienting shifts in Photos Library items following orientation or window size adjustments
âĒ Fixes a glitch where the Photos Library and Files list layout could look off after you popped back interactively from the metadata view
