Remo Duplicate Photos Remover

I haven’t had much time to really take this app out for a spin but, from the brief period of time I did, however, test it out, it actually seems quite useful and honestly, probably one of the most sensible apps I have on my iPhone amongst the umpteen hundreds of worthless, nonsensical, and disappointing other apps that most have never once been used. Not to mention, of the apps that I do use or have used more than once, the actual use is pitiful, within allowable functionality without having to commit to a flipping monthly subscription just to actually do anything worthwhile or justifiably important for the price. Unlike those apps, this one actually wasn’t disappointing or only performed half the actual task (e.g. scan and locate all dups, present them to you, and then whoa wait... in order to actually delete the dups the app found, guess what?? Yup! Subscription needed!). Not that I’m above paying for an app, which is how things used to be—pay for the app one time fee, get full access-period! No. That’s unheard of now because greed has once again found a way again and instead of paying for the app once, you get to pay every month to keep using it so it’s like buying the same app every month. Thanks to the app developer of this app for making it simple and free for making an app that takes care of this task that would never get done otherwise. Thank you!

I do not ever I mean EVER write reviews. However I feel this is totally an exception! This is absolutely the best app out there for removing duplicates of photos! I’ve searched and searched. Even paid for some. Nothing compares to this! Zero pop up ads! Mine takes time but I have started with nearly 66,000 photos. My computer uploaded some photos 12 times! The ONLY negative for me is that I can do the select all - and hit the delete and say yes to deleting them all, but it doesn’t. I figured out it can only handle deleting 1000 at a time. I can’t imagine anyone else has the same problem I had (nearly 19k of doubles!). So for me I have to manually click each one and then rescan after each 1000 deleted. I would have totally paid for this (2.99 to 3.99). I’m not into subscriptions because really how many times would you need to go through and delete doubles after the initial run? Maybe do it yearly? Anyways by far the BEST app I’ve ever used!

The app itself is wonderful, and works perfectly. It helped me sort out a long standing mess amid my photos, and did it quickly and in a way that makes sense. The most amazing thing though, is that this developer must be someone with a passion for the work. There is absolutely nothing wrong with making money as an app developer, and in fact, it's expected. But, here's a case where this app could have been written chock full of ads, with in-app-purchases, or as another of the PITA subscription model apps. I'd encourage the creator to release a donation version. I'm (now) going to see if the Dev has an email address and PayPal account so I can send off a tip, cup of coffee, whatever. That's how impressive and helpful this app has been for me. 👍👍

I somehow have accumulated tens of thousands of duplicates on my phone. While the app the great at finding them (45,000+) it does not allow you to delete them all at once. Based on another user review it appear s you can only delete 1000 at a time...which you have to do manually one set at a time because you can’t use the select all feature. I know I’m probably an extreme case as most people won’t have that many duplicates, but still...If you could delete as many as you needed this app would be much much better. Also, I’m not sure how reliable the file size numbers are as they shift when you select certain files within a set. Sometimes the file that the app decides is the “original” is the largest file size, other times it’s a smaller one. Not sure why it would select an image with a smaller file size as a keeper.

I have lots of duplicates after mistakenly keeping my photos shared across multiple different iCloud accounts. I was skeptical of a free app cleaning up my database without any strings attached, so I tried doing some research on the developer before I downloaded.... I couldn’t turn up any negative information besides the company being headquartered outside of the US... in India to be precise. So I downloaded and set it to scan over 400 photos. It took less than 30 seconds using cellular service on my iPhoneX. When done, it only found 2 “exact” duplicates and 7 “similar”... of which, maybe only 2 of the “similar” photos were “similar” in nature. Disappointing to say the least... because after reading some of the reviews, I had hoped this thing would find more than just TWO duplicates. Never the less, it was free... so no harm, no foul... although I will still leave a respective review to reflect my experience.
