So awesome

When I tell y’all, I’m SO bad at keeping up with organizing my photos. It’s so hard for me to pick and choose between hundreds of photos that look the same. This app is extremely easy to use, highly user friendly. It really allows you to make a quick decision and gives plenty of chances to review your decisions before you finalize. All you have to do is swipe right or left and if you’ve used dating apps or anything, you know how easy it is to make a quick decision off of the first glance. This app helped me sort through over 5,000 photos in a matter of a couple days and it kept my progress of sorting, even when I left the app. Overall, this app is super effective and makes sorting fun. There are also a lot of cool features that allow you to share the photos you come across, bookmark them for review, and they even give a “wrapped” option to review your stats on the app. I love how everything is divided through the months. Overall it makes organizing and cleaning out your photos feel a lot more manageable. I love it 10/10, do recommend 🤞🏽.

Best User Experience

The amount of advertised apps to help clean up your camera roll, this one is what users have been looking for! Instead of treating your camera roll like an algorithm or repeated images, this is YOU finding the time to sort through years worth of photos in a format that we’re familiar with and is entertaining. My only complaint is loading. Images, when swiping after a few minutes, get blurry and the operation system starts getting slow. At times Ive had it malfunction where I have to close and reopen the app but the positive note is even if you have to do that- it pretty much automatically saves the progress and you can start where you left off. The only other feature I wish it allowed is where you can see a month worth of photos in its entire album- not just slides. For instance, I bookmarked a lot of videos I reviewed because they were long and needed more attention than I was willing to set aside for a swipe through. When I went to look at them, bookmarks are in the same format as everything else, swiping. I wish there was a way to look at it all at once. Not just one at a time. Besides the malfunctioning and slow load time for photos, it’s still one of the best apps Ive seen for the task at hand. I will say, that the more images you have the slower it will likely run especially if your storage is also on icloud - pretty sure thats the problem Im having.

One of my favorite app finds

This app is honestly pretty amazing, I found it while looking for ways to clear up space on my phone having wayyy too many pictures and found it to be a fun and efficient way to clean up some space and get rid of photos i don't need. The only issue - and why i didn't give it 5 full stars instead of the four i did - was the wait between months to look through as a free user. The app categorizes photos by month, and every time you complete a month it makes you wait a little before going through photos of the next month in time. But the catch is that you only wait a little the first few months you do, each time you finish a month you have to wait an hour longer than you did for the previous one. Waited three hours between April and May? Now wait four between May and June. Seven hours between October and November, well here's an eight hour wait for December! I think it would make sense for it to be a fixed time even if it was like 6 hours or something I'd be more understanding than this, having a camera roll that is years long i'll be having to wait multiple days at some point if I want to keep going which is really difficult, especially because doing the app is actually really fun so it makes me want to clean my camera roll faster. Anyways that's why it's near perfect and hope they will consider changing it to a fixed time, otherwise totally recommend!

So simple, so easy, so cool

UPDATE: bumping down to three stars from five. The swipe feature has been removed from the On This Day feed. Huh? That’s quite literally the only function I use with the app. Quickly swiping or wiping in OTD has been the fastest and most efficient way to simultaneously see past media AND get rid of unwanted items. I’ll hold on to the app in hopes that feature returns but if it doesn’t I’m afraid I’ll have to find another option. ********** I’ve been scouring the App Store since the iPhone 4 (the best iPhone let’s be honest) for an app like this to clean up my photos. Why oh why is there not something like this built into iOS? Answer me that? Swipewipe is an extremely simple, elegant and beautifully designed app that, get this, makes removing unwanted photos FUN to remove. There’s no bloat and no extra “features” like Google Photos. And the way they implement makes it easy to see progress. The on this day section is a delight and the main way I delete photos. 1-2 minutes a day and you’ll have a cleaner library. The only minor gripe — and it’s really not much of a gripe — is there’s no option to change the app icon. Not a huge fan of the icon color but that’s a personal preference, and a nice to have, more than anything.

Storage Life Saver

I normally can’t stand these kinds of apps, because they are almost always very pushy with their subscription models. HOWEVER: Swipewipe has been SUCH a lifesaver. I have saved several gigabytes of storage space on my phone since using swipewipe. It’s fun and convenient to go through my photos this way, it’s as addicting as TikTok. The app limits you to one month at a time, plus your “On This Day,” and after that an eight-hour cooldown is required before you can do more swiping. Personally, this is okay to me! I have thousands of photos, and keeping things bite-sized is a lot less overwhelming than going through my photos manually. The app is not annoying about subscribing, either. You’ll get a pop up now and then, like after swiping. But you can conveniently close it. Not a fan of the weekly subscription model and I would prefer monthly, but I’d say subscribing to this app would definitely be worth it! If you’re on the fence, get it. You won’t regret it! Gamify cleaning up your photos app.

Unimpressed

I was really enjoying the app, despite the hefty $4.99/week premium plan I was paying for. However, I viewed the charge as a major motivation to not put off completing going though my camera roll. I ended up swiping 47k+ images, deleting 26k+, a huge relief! The process of swiping makes it easy to get through each month of images, however it is not the easiest to compare multiple similar images at the same time to really be able to pick your favorite to keep. And, when you complete reviewing a month, if you need to change an images status to keep or delete, it then sends you back to the beginning and not where you left off in reviewing. Where I took 3 stars off, comes from a recent change to the app, where every 2-3 images I now have an add to swipe out of. I also finished ONE MONTH and then was hit with a limit that I could not swipe for another 7+ hours unless I updated to a higher plan or watched an advertisement. These additions highly impact the app experience making it much less user friendly. I could justify the annoyance if it was a free version, but to be paying close to $20 a month and have these annoyances and restrictions? Hard cancel, and disappointing to see.

Just what I’m looking for

I have so many pictures in my gallery and sorting through them all and making the time to find the ones to keep and delete seemed easy but was pretty hard. SwipeWipe makes that difficult process very easy by providing a simple and useful way of deleting single photos in certain categories like by months and by the year. It also lets you go though photos from the day or photos taken that day from a different year. It also keeps a streak if you do it everyday. I’ve noticed lately that i haven’t gotten the notifications lately and I’ve lost my streak for going through photos everyday and I’m kinda disappointed. I also have a lot of videos and i notice that it’s hard for the app to load them and to view and then make the decision whether to delete it or keep it. Besides those small issues this app is a real lifesaver by making a difficult process very easy. Very simple and convenient features a modern design and works!

swipewipe!!

i’ve had this app for a few days now and i love it!! it’s so good if you have a low storage problem like me,band for me my photos is one of my biggest issues. this app is so helpful and convenient, and i only have one or two problems. i love how easy it is to swipe right or left , and how the ads aren’t problems and don’t interrupt really. also how it’s nice to have all the photos separated bye months. but i’ve had my phone for a awhile and since i have a lot of photos saved and even more i need to delete. and it’s not very helpful when i can only delete like 15 photos and then have to wait 7HRS? like, that’s kinda a lot. and sometimes it glitches and before i can even swipe it starts the timer over. this is a really good app except for those two things. i don’t even understand the timer, you want me to use your app right? idk, it’s just really annoying because i have a lot of months to go through and i can only go through like half of each one. i love and do recommend this app, but please take this into consideration!!

Make daily prompts for members to achieve a goal

So I downloaded this because I loved the concept of easy swiping and especially how it’s broken up into days so it doesn’t feel unmanageable compared to my my camera roll. My camera roll is around 25,000 from screenshots I need to delete and taking dog pictures everyday at work. Objectively that is a lot to get through. Similar to weight loss apps where you set a weight goal to be achieved by a certain time. I think for example, I want to go down 2,000 photos/ videos every month (making room for phone storage). That’s about 66 photos a day. ALSO what would be cool is, for every picture you delete, you get a coin to add up and spend on a quick game like candy crush. The intermittent dopamine will make people come to the app to engage in something positive for themselves, while adding a simple game will keep people using your app forever. Even if the game isn’t the most exciting, they won’t delete it because it’s helping them manage their photos. Might be abstract and I know nothing about marketing but my ideas would have me on here 2-3 times a day!

So Efficient!

I was overwhelmed by the number of photos on my iPhone and didn’t feel like there was an easy way to clear out my camera roll. I don’t even know how I heard about swipewipe, but I’ve had it for a day and I’ve already removed over 7k photos from my phone and given myself 20gb of extra space! It’s very easy to make quick decisions on what to keep with the swipe of a finger. I like that it lets me double check my photos before deleting and then if I make a mistake I can still always head to my recently deleted folder. The only negative is that the app doesn’t give any indication on what photos are live/bursts. I don’t really care about Live Photos, but I’d love it if there were some distinction of bursts that way I can make sure I have the photos I want, however, for now I can just go to my bursts folder in photos and make sure I have saved all the ones I want. It’s really a helpful app with no ads and a cheap subscriptions price!

good concept; odd execution

i’ve only just recently downloaded this app, but i’ve known about it for a while. the only reason holding me back was the amount of reviews in regards to the subscription-based payments i saw on tiktok. i wanted an app that not necessarily was free, but was at least a one-time payment sort of deal. but besides that, this app is honestly really good at saving time when going through my camera roll. i enjoy that it divides your camera roll by month and tells you how many photos are in each section. it’s user friendly in terms of having an undo button and confirming each month altogether before actually deleting the photos. one MAJOR drawback to using this app for free is the cooldowns. i dont enjoy the cooldown after finishing each month, and the time increasing after each month; it’s really pointless and annoying if you ask me. i understand its just a means of getting users to pay the subscription, but it takes away the “time saving” aspect of what the app is supposed to bring. if you’re going to have a cooldown, at least make the time consistent.

LOVE - Extremely well-designed app

This is an excellent app! I needed a way to clear out my photos that was a method other than just going through the whole photo library, which is tedious and likely never going to be fully finished. Swipewipe is genius because the design is simple and pleasing, it splits your photos into bite sized albums by month to sort through, and it’s extremely easy to use with little barrier to action. I love that the free to use part of the app is still highly functional, and although there are now ads between photos, it doesn’t hinder user experience in my opinion. One small feature I would love to see is just an icon or distinction for photos that are favorited. This would make it easier to remember which photos within a month I liked the most and want to save while still swiping pretty quickly. Overall, many thanks to the designers of this app; it does what it needs to with grace and simplicity.

Honestly Really love this app!

I have slowly just be overwhelmed with how many pictures I have and I know so many of them are pictures from school or random screenshots that I took to send to someone and then never deleted. This app allows me to once a day in the morning enjoy the memories of that day while also deleting the pictures I don’t need! I love this app! I have got 3 of my friends to download it too and they love it so I think it is so worth it if you want to clean out your phone. It does only allow you to do one folder every 8 hours but if you want to do more one day then you can just watch an add or I think they have an option to pay but the ads are short. Honestly the once a day looking back at my memories is usually enough for me though maybe after having it a year I’ll do some of the other ones more! Truly love this app though it’s exactly what I was looking for!

Love it, BUT…

First I just want to say that this is a great app concept. I am a college student, pretty avidly against subscriptions at the moment because of that financial engagement, so I do not pay for a subscription. That being said, I think the app is pretty good even without unlimited swipes. It still gives me the opportunity to go through quite a few photos without paying, which works fine for me. BUT, I will say that I wish it didn’t repeat photos when going through the “random” selection. I go through the allotted 20 pictures/8 hrs, and I find myself swiping through pictures I have already seen. It is not very effective when I have to keep going through the same pictures over again. Also, sorting through pictures that are similar is difficult because there is no way to really compare them side to side. Other than that, this app is pretty decent. I am sure that subscribing would be worth it if you have the money to spare and the dedication to use it often.

Great app but…

The only not so great part to the app is needing to buy a subscription to go through more than one month of pictures every 8 hours. I’m not bashing them all the way because of it because I know people need to make money and it’s a free app. I would just like a better option like watch this 30 to 60 second ad to go through another month. The month to month every 8 hours only downside is if you end up having only a handful of pictures in a month and finish swiping through them and having to wait the 8 hours after the few pictures. The upside is that if you have a month with 600+ pictures, you get to go through all of those before the 8 hour timer starts again. All in all, the app is definitely worth the price of free in the App Store. And the $30 or so a year subscription might be worth it to people who are impatient and want to delete multiple months at a time all at once instead of waiting 8 hours between each swipe session.

Really bummed

I don’t usually go out of my way to leave reviews for apps but I was SHOCKED by the changes made in the latest update. The app is called SWIPEWIPE, and from mid January until now I have loved being able to look back on a day swiping through the photos to see which ones I would like to keep, that is until today… In the last update the daily swipe feature has been removed and switched with a “feed” feature where you scroll through and click a trash button underneath the photos you want to remove… I HATE this feature, not only is it not as “FUN” as the old swipe method but it takes much longer to go through your days photos… Ideally the option to either have the swipe feature or the feed feature would be provided. Or worst case scenario the deleted photos would collapse on your feed so it was easier to scroll… I had paid for a years subscription to the app up front and now I am a bit bummed I had done that. I do have to say, the calendar feature where you can “save” your streak is nice because I like being able to go back to a day I missed.

A Lifesaver!

I have been struggling for years to get my photos under control. They’re just useless when I have so many but it’s so hard to actually get through them and delete them. I found this app through an IG ad and it’s been a game changer! I’ve only had it a couple days, swiping through things in the spare minutes I have waiting at the dentists or standing in line, and I’ve already freed up 4 GB! At this rate I’m gonna be able to save like $40/year on iCloud storage. And they have GREAT customer service! I emailed them through the app ab a possibly new feature and figured I’d be just another vote for it and never hear back anything. An hour later, someone had personally responded back to me! Extra impressive since apps like this generally have pretty small teams. It added just a little extra joy to my day and made me feel special!

THIS APP IS AMAZING.

When I tell you guys I am SO bad at keeping my storage at a normal amount. This app literally helps me so much whenever I wanna use it. It's literally perfect and I love how it shows each month and how many photos/videos you took that month. I'm currently using it right now. About 1-2 months ago I was using this app and I saw they added something in the middle of the screen by the 'KEEP' or 'DELETE', And it showed how much you kept and deleted. I was super glad they added that because it made it a much better experience so you can see how much you deleted. But a few days later I realized they removed it and I was kinda bummed. I know this can sound a little dramatic but CAN WE PLEASE BRING IT BACK. Besides all of that, Swipewipe is actually my favorite app and I'd totally recommend getting it if you can't keep track of your storage. 😁

I like this app!

I really needed to get my photos and videos gone through, and this app really helped. I saw some ads for it, but was recommended it by a friend as well, which made me download it. I think it is a really well made app, very pretty and easy to use. My friend likes the 7 hour timer to wait, since she said it gives her something to look forward to. Personally, especially since I have so many photos to go through, I didn't like it (so I'm buying the subscription until I'm done). My only complaints so far are that I am unable to fast forward and rewind the videos, making it harder to review, and that the photos are videos are both counted as photos, but that one's not a huge issue. I am using both my photos app as well as this one to clear my photos, and it's going very well. I highly recommend this app!!

Fun & does what it’s meant to :)

Made a chore fun! Turns out when I go through photos I get rid of about half on average 😅 should free us some space and make it easier to access the photos worth looking at :) and it’s fun to revisit old times! Would be cool if we could have some tags to add as we go - i often think oh right I was supposed to follow up on that when I see a picture while I’m swiping, but I forget. We can bookmark but catagories would be cool (for me it’s - important documents, clothes inspo, nails inspo, craft ideas, stuff I wanted to do etc) And the other thing is I often have a photo shoot so there will be like 8 almost identical photos so I only want to keep the best one - but it’s hard to compare to pick the best one with swipe - would be cool if you could detect when the photos are very similar and visualize side by side or something!

Literally would be 5 stars if I wasn’t broke LOL

I am actually obsessed with deleting photos now!!! I am a photo hoarder and have been struggling since my son was born in April because I have NO storage, i had over 30,000 photos and 1,500 videos!! I’ve already deleted so much with swipewipe & saved like 13gb so far just within the past few days. This idea is genius because it breaks things down in a simple, clean, organized way and eliminates the hassle of having to press at least three buttons to delete a photo from your camera roll. I’m actually in love. I just hate that it’s $5/week or $30/year because I can’t really rationalize spending money on an app to delete photos when I can delete them for free. But I love this app so much that when I have an extra $30 that doesn’t need to be spent on diapers I will be purchasing so I can keep deleting photos (my new favorite hobby😍) SUCH a genius idea.

SO AMAZING AND USEFUL!!

omg i've had this app for like 5 minutes and i've already deleted almost 100 pictures i'm never gonna post or look back on for memories or that are just not useful in any way shape or form. it's scary making sure you swipe the right way but like you can look at what you swiped to delete before you actually go to delete it. i always try "detoxifying" my phone but i always get board of it but this app makes it kinda fun like a dating app or whatev. and it's so motivational when you see the cross next to the month you just cleared. i never really write reviews but i just love this app sm!!! ok i'm back i see lots of people complaining about having to wait x amount of hours but all i did was delete and then redownload the app and just keep track of the months i've done in my head!

Terrible and Annoying User Experience Update

This app was really helpful, and I loved it and recommended it to friends because it was the easiest way to get through a plethora of old photos and actually clean out my camera roll. Despite the fact it was $4.99 a week subscription which is really hefty considering the actual scope of the app, I was fine paying it for a few weeks to finally get through my camera roll. However, new ad and subscription model is massively annoying and has pretty much ruined the entire app’s user experience. I’ve already unsubscribed and am deleting it unfortunately. Even for paid users, you get a sponsored ad photo amongst your own photos every 4 or so swipes, and constant pop-ups to pay almost $100 for a yearly subscription. Without paid, it will let you swipe for 20 or so photos and then make you wait 7 hours to swipe again. No point anymore, I hope you guys go a different route with it cause it was a great app, but at this point I would recommend painstakingly going through your own photos

Best app I’ve ever used !!!

When I tell you I have ocd and it effects everything including how many pics or vids I have in my camera roll it’s been such a relief to be able to go thru my camera roll so quickly and be able to get rid of SO MUCH! I started off with over 18,000 photos and videos and now I have around 4,356!!! I’m so happy I really think everyone should get this. And it’s only 30$ per year! To me that’s a steal tbh. One thing u will say is it was a lil annoying at times when things didn’t load up completely so things were blurry but I just waited a min and it would usually work. And sometimes. A notice would pop up saying error for iCloud , im not sure why that is but it was a lil annoying. Other then that this took me 2 days and a half because I was determined to get it done. That was 5 years worth. So overall 9/10!! Would recommend 🫶🏻

Good, wait time is an issue

another review put this into better terms but I feel as it needs to be shared more. It is a great app and a fun way to clear storage but the wait times changing get very annoying. Every time you complete a set the wait time before you can do another goes up by an hour. I would put 5 stars if they had like a set time of about like 6-8 hours instead of the continuous growing time. At some point I’m going to have to wait multiple days to continue. If this time was changed I would give it five stars. I think it is a very fun way to clear your photos, I like that it lets you undo and review your photos before deleting them, and the way the photos are organized. Overall I will continue to use the app despite the time because it is very helpful in my opinion, but it won’t be a five star app without some change.

LOVE IT!!

So I'll admit I have a stupid amount of photos- I take several pics and videos everywhere I go, I download so many pictures from twitter, instagram, tumblr, etc. I'm always taking screenshots and forgetting to delete them later. I love going through pics and deleting them but with my ADHD it's such a daunting task. But this app is almost fun in how easy it is to use and sort through pics! Now before the last update, I did go through about 3 years worth before it crashed, but I simply uninstalled and reinstalled and it works perfectly now. And I've deleted over 7000 pics so far and I'm not even halfway through! Plus the premium is so worth it. I definitely recommend! (I was not compensated or sponsored for this review! This is 100% my own opinion and experience)

Amzing app but..

When i say this app cleared up so much of my storage, i mean it. i saw so many ads for this app and decided to try it. although i dont have the premium version, or whatever its called, it still so useful to use. i use it everyonce in a while when my photos start piling. i like how it sums up every month of photos and videos for you to looks at. at every month, i delete over 200 photos, and the best part is that you dont have to pay to delete them like most apps do! one thing that i dislike about this app is that every five swipes, theres and ad. i dont mind it so much but i hope that one day it becomes less frequent. another thing is that i can only do one month of photos to delete then i have to wait 8 hours until i can use it again. other than those two things, this is a great app to use!

Amazing!

I had over 21,000 photos and videos in my phone, dating back to when I got my first iPod Touch in 2010. Needless to say, half of it was garbage. More than half, actually- I deleted over 12,000 files using swipewipe and now have under 9,000 left. I don’t have to worry about cleaning out my pictures ever again. I don’t need to worry about deleting apps just to make more room in my phone, or buying additional cloud storage from Apple. Swipewipe’s system was so easy to use and much more encouraging than manually deleting things from my Photos app. This definitely took several hours, but swipewipe also breaks it up by month. I could do small pieces and not feel overwhelmed, which is great. I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed an app, but this one deserves it!

9 months ago, peyton_<33

great app, but you have to pay.

let’s be real. this is an amazing app, but why do so many apps like these ask you to pay for them? this is just like a lot of other apps that help you to delete photos and stuff. I feel that the subscription is just them wanting more money, which I don’t blame them, but they already have apps and a lot of users. they earn money just by me and you using it. also, a lot of kids and teens, like me, are looking for these apps because of their phones low storage and stuff like that. but no one my age can get the subscription, so not only are you not getting a subscription from us, but you are losing a lot of users by doing this. please consider this review and please make a change to the subscription, because I love this app, but I can’t afford it. thank you for reading :)

Quite good, but needs more features

Super nice way of deleting photos quickly. However, I’d like to be able to pinch-to-zoom on images. Sometimes the details are the factor that decides whether I want to delete a photo or keep it, and without zooming, I can’t make that assessment confidently so I end up having to keep things “just in case” and keep clutter. Also, showing metadata is very useful, thank you. Can we get a way to edit the metadata as well? And finally, show the size (KB/MB) of a photo in small font directly on the photo, so I can be more harsh with things that I know take up a lot of space. I also need a “Show in Photos app” button, so I can use things like text recognition in images and editing there. Don’t implement those features yourself, just give me a quick way to get to the current image in the Photos app.

Actually amazing

I’m actually in love with this app. It’s become a part of my daily routine, to do my “on this day” photos. Currently I have a 21 day streak and I have a goal to reach 30 days! It’s a really fun way to look at past memories, while also de-cluttering my photos in a non-overwhelming way. 50 photos a day is WAY less pressure then going through all 20,000 of my photos at once. It’s also cool to remember certain things, like, oh, this day last year I went to the zoo with my family! Awesome! I remember that. I enjoy going through the memories. Im not usually the type of girl to keep up a streak on anything. Keeping up a streak just for the streak’s stake has never had much appeal. But the app already being fun definitely helps motivate me- after all, I don’t want to miss today’s photos! Overall, it’s a pretty simple app, but the app itself is such a wonderful idea and super easy to use. The creators care about their users, going as far as making a swipewipe wrapped for its users. They very obviously take user suggestions and critiques into consideration, and are all the better for it. It’s probably my favorite app! I’ve tried convincing all of my friends to download it.

Amazing, 100% recommend for ADHD users

Even with the free trial I’ve saved 20+ GBs. I would definitely recommend it for someone who doesn’t enjoy doing time consuming tasks or someone who cannot sit still very long. It’s a simple concept and easy to use. It separates the photos into sections in which there’s a 8hr timer between your ability to ‘swipe’ (clear) photos. I love love looooooove this app, it makes it so much simpler to go through my photos (already deleted about 2000). And honestly with the limit, I think it makes the free version better than the subscription because it limits how much you can do per day while still obviously making life so much simpler. It’s also fun to go through old photos and memories in a tinder-like fashion! :)

Amazing concept - so easy!

I love this concept and idea so much - I had to try it! I read the reviews that mentioned the free version having some glitches and making you wait, so I went for the paid version right away, and it’s the best investment I’ve ever made. I have over 30,000 photos and videos, and this makes it a little easier to manage and delete them. With so many, going through each month has taken me FOREVER - so I really like the “on this day” feature to again make it a daily habit that helps clean up my camera roll bit by bit, day by day. 10/10 would recommend. I would really love or suggest that they had a “folders” or “albums” feature, as I have some albums I would love to clean up using swipe wipe!

Saw an ad on Instagram, tried it, satisfied.

I don’t usually trust things I find on Instagram ads. But I tried this because I’ve been trying various photo cleanup apps and I have been happy with this one. The app is simple, colorful, easy to use, and quick. I have liked how easy it is to go through my old pics and quickly decide what ones can go. I find myself going through pics with swipewipe when I have some time. The free version is supported by ads and has a timer that allows you to go through a batch of images every 8 hours or so. I paid for a year and once I’m through my library I think the free version will be enough to help me stay on top of keeping my photo library tidy.

Great app idea but with major flaw

I love the idea for this app and it’s SOO much faster than having to click delete twice on each individual photo in the photos app, and i like how the photos are split up into months to make it more manageable. However, I think that the subscription aspect is really stupid. Even if the app was just a few dollars to own, that would be fine. I think it’s dumb that I’m expected to pay $5 per month or wait 15 hrs to keep going through my photos after I’ve “used all my swipes” for the day. I personally don’t want to look through my photos every single month and I’d rather wait at least a few months and go through them all together. The subscription based payment doesn’t seem like it would be successful for this type of app at all and I wish it wasn’t there. Otherwise this app would be a 10/10.

SWIPEWIPE

This app is really good and useful but I feel like they should let us swipe through 2 months (if you don’t have premium) instead of 1 because we might really need the storage. I also feel like we should have less time on the cool down (again, if you don’t have premium) instead of 8-7 hrs (idk how long it is) I feel like it should be 4 hours because it makes a use out of the app instead of waiting 8-7 hours to just swipe away one month it should be wait 4 hrs and swipe 2 months, I just think it would be better because then people will be on your app longer, but that’s it, ik I’m just one person but I feel like I have a good point it would just make me happy if u even put it in consideration. But other than that tbh overall I’m lovin it!

Good experience at a great cost

They do a good job in terms of user experience - it's fun to swipe in my down time while cleaning up my album. However, a subscription at $5 per WEEK is too much. If this were a one time purchase, or even at a monthly subscription, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. It's a missed opportunity, as some of their features require you to slowly filter your photos rather than at a large batch if you want to maximize the subscription/trial. For example, if you want to go through your photos on your own leisure via the "on this day" feature, that's a full year of subscriptions at $260. Five stars for the app itself - one star for the cost required to use the app.

good idea but the actual app is kinda bad.

I think this app is a cool idea, but there are multiple problems with the app. Firstly, it is very laggy for me. I don’t know if this is because I have too many photos, but as soon as I start scrolling, it gets very laggy. My next problem is that you have to wait a VERY long time to keep deleting photos after you already deleted a month of photos. While i’m writing this review, I have to wait 5 hours to keep deleting even though I only deleted photos from one month today. I think the point of this app is to make deleting photos easier, but it’s obviously not doing its job if it takes so much time. I think that this app could keep their “pay to keep deleting” feature (even though i prefer they don’t) but they have to make it if you delete a year of photos. But until that happens, i do not recommend this app.

Useless unless you pay 8 dollars A WEEK!

So I know that my problem with the app is ridicules but personally I just think that $8 isn’t worth the point of the app so basically it divides all your pictures in albums depending on the months and years that the photo is taken. WELL after you are done with 1 album it literally locks you out and blurs your screen with a note that’s says that you can’t use the app for 7HOURS😭(atleast for me) unless you pay for the subscription this app is LITERALLY POINTLESS Again I know that the price isn’t bad or high for some people but $8 A WEEK💀 which is literally $32 a month!!! Absolutely not 😭 And the point of the app on its own is to help you get ride of unnecessary photos FAST and I literally can only use it for a max of 15 minutes a day, please just go through your camera roll, it’s fast,better,easier, and won’t cost you 32 bucks

Really great for clearing up your photos!

I’ve been trying forever to sort through my photos but it’s always so difficult, especially since i have so many photos. This app makes it super easy to sort through them! The only down side is that you have to pay for premium or wait a long time to sort through photos again. But I’m usually very busy and when I am sorting through the photos it’s A LOT of photos, so the break is pretty nice. If you don’t like waiting however, then this app is probably not the best pick for you. But i would definitely recommend it since it has help me SO MUCH! I’ve gone through so many of my photos and saved so much storage.

A creative way to clean your camera roll.

Are you like me and cleaning out your camera roll seems gruesome and dreading? I came across swipewipe on a TikTok ad, and thought I should try it! Like a dating app but for your camera roll. With a simple interface and an easy way to clean your camera roll. The app starts by separating your camera roll into months, and you choose what month and year you want to start with, then swipe right to keep it, swipe left to delete. One thing i don't like is the limit of how many you can do and the ads, but that comes with any free app. Overall, a simple and easy to use app! Definitely recommending it to my friends and family.

Fire

Yo ts is gas, normal apps that help delete photos make you pay to even delete them after you spend all that time going through them, this one doesn’t, it does have ads but they’re easy to skip rq, this helped a LOT!! I needed to delete hella pics of stuff I didn’t need. And reeaall faster too. I just have to swipe instead of hitting delete, “are you sure you want to delete” over and over, saves sm time. And if you accidentally hit delete you can tap and go back, and after you go through all of them it lets you look over and check for mistakes. And it also organizes into months, and crosses out the ones you’ve went through. 😜

Omg

I love this app I’ve never rated an app before but I must say this is a game changer. If you can keep up with deleting photos every 7 hours without the subscription it does wonders. I started with over 30k photos in my camera roll two weeks ago and now Im down to 28k. I also have not gotten the subscription as I haven’t felt it’s super necessary right now. I was at my max storage for so long and now it’s the lowest it’s been probably since I got my iphone. This is genuinely the best app I’ve tried to delete photos out of my camera roll, it’s genuinely enjoyable to go through my memories and realize how many useless photos I’ve taken. Swipe wipe has saved my storage fr 🙏🙏

Fun and creative

I saw this ad on social media and decided to give it a try since I have the hardest time deleting pictures and videos and my storage is always full. It’s like Tinder, but for your camera roll. I like that it shows you what you took day by day and even gives you details on what time/phone the picture was taken on just like in your real camera roll. The only downside is there is an 8 hour wait before you can delete more pictures if you reach a certain limit, but you can pay a $4 subscription to get rid of the limit for good. I’m not complaining and understand you have to do what you have to do to make money. Overall fun, easy and colorful way to delete stuff in your camera roll!

Fun way to delete photos

I really like the app. It gives you a chance to really see the photos before you delete them rather than scrolling through your camera roll and selecting photos and accidentally deleting ones you want to keep. It makes the whole process surprisingly fast so I really recommend it. The only downside is having to wait 8 hours after completing another to continue to the next month. That part is annoying because when I get in the mood to clean out my photos I like to do it all in one day, not wait 8 hours per month. I’d suggest maybe putting more ads in place of that but not video ads because those take up too much time. Other than that good.

Function is fantastic

I just spent almost an hour after downloading this going through A LOT of photos and videos on my phone. It’s well worth a subscription depending on the cost. But there’s no info within the app about the plans. When I go into settings to see what plans are available there are THIRTY options to choose from. Varying weekly, monthly, and yearly options. Yearly goes from $20-$80 but there’s zero descriptions on what each plan is and what it includes. I got the free trial and it’s automatically gonna renew at $5 a week but that is too much for what the app is. I like the $20 a year option but am I gonna lose some important features? There’s needs to be some clarity on plans and features!

Lied

Said I would get notified when my free trial was about to expire. PROMISED. Didn’t happen, that makes this a scam. An overpriced scam worthy of legal action Update after developer response. The developer lied to my face in their response. The app is unusable without the subscription service, the payment is not just to remove ads. The service is a dollar a day plus tax to swipe right and left on pictures and videos to delete or keep them. It’s a barely functional cash grab that’s priced exorbitantly. The response the dev made shows how much of a scam this truly is. No, I was not notified, no it was not my doing that I wasn’t notified. I clicked the boxes and turned notifications on, this was not user error. The devs response is as robotic as all of this apps five star reviews. Call a scam what it is, there are fifty identical versions of this application at various price ranges, none as predatory as this one

Tinder but for your photos!

Real talk, this has been a lifesaver. I’ve saved over 30 GIGS of storage. It’s much easier to do this than go through your camera roll. It’s good for the ADHD mind. It’s awesome. 10/10 recommend. I did the trial but it was not enough time. … so I originally rated this 5 stars but the loading and $5/week is crazy to me honestly lol. It takes forever to load sometimes and the pictures will be blurry for minutes. And then it starts working again. And it’s basically $20/mo. In my opinion it’s definitely not worth that. And if you’re anything like me, I don’t have the patience or time to go through ALL of my photos in a week. If this wasn’t so expensive or had loading issues it would easily be the best app in the store right now

New Update is Frustrating

This app is wonderful and has many great features. It has definitely increased my productivity and allowed me to delete unnecessary photos. One feature I use a lot is the “On this day” which lets you see pictures from a year ago today. For some reason, the new update changed the swipe ability to a scroll ability with even more adds in between a couple photos. This is especially frustrating because the scrolling is extremely laggy and slow, forcing me to spend more than 10-15 minutes to not even get through 30-50 pictures that would have taken me 5 minutes before. I hope swipewipe removed this scrolling option or at least readds the ability to swipe because I will no longer be using this app until it gets changed.

Easy to use but loads slow

I’ve only had the app for a day. I was able to delete a ton of pictures the first time I used it with no problem. If you don’t subscribe to the weekly fee then you have a limit and then have to wait 7hours to continue to delete more. Which is fine but when I went back when time was up and tried to delete more, the pictures weren’t loading and it only showed a blank gray screen. I’m hoping that it will change. I would of given 4 stars but the time limit is kind of inconvenient. So, I gave 3 stars because of the loading issue. I hope it can get fixed. I would subscribe but I don’t want to pay something weekly. If it worked I would however, subscribe if it was a monthly subscription.

Description

Swipewipe is the app that will (finally) help you clean up your camera roll. And you’ll enjoy reminiscing while you do it. We'll save you the time: Yes, there are other apps that can help you quickly delete photos on your phone. But none of them worked for us! We wanted a simple, fun, elegant solution that let us go month-by-month, work our way through all our photos, videos, screenshots, and everything else in our camera roll, and decide - one by one - what to keep and what to get rid of. That’s Swipewipe. Here’s how it works: swipe right to keep a photo, and left to delete it. If you make a mistake or change your mind, just tap the current photo to go back. Hold down on a picture to see its metadata. After you’re done reviewing that month’s photos, take one last look at the photos you chose to keep and the ones you chose to delete, make any tweaks you need to, and then…you’re done! Each time you finish a month, it'll be crossed out. (You can always revisit that month, though.) If you get part way through a month and want to take a break, you can quit the app - a progress wheel will appear next to that month on the main screen, showing you how much further you have to go. If you’d rather not go month by month (or even if you do!) we think you’ll like our new On This Day feature. It sticks to the top of your Swipewipe home screen, and each day, it updates with the photos that you took on this date one year ago, two years ago, and so on. Revisit your memories on their anniversary, and swipe through to determine what you’d like to keep and what you’d like to delete. (It’s pretty fun.) We also have: - Bookmarks (for any pictures you want to set aside) - A widget (and streaks!) for On This Day - Stats that show you how many photos you’ve reviewed, how much memory you’ve saved, and more …and we’re always adding cool new stuff! Our camera rolls shouldn't be such a mess. You should be able to look back at the memories you've made without getting interrupted by blurry duplicates, irrelevant screenshots, and other clutter that keeps you from the good stuff. That’s why we’re making Swipewipe. Hope you like it, and happy swiping! (Oh, and if you have any feedback, ideas, complaints, life advice, or anything else — email us at [email protected]!)
