I’ve been using Metapho for a couple years, seems like and wow, they’re all over the app with consistent update frequency. Their customer service (if you need, you won’t) is quick and easy to follow their instructions if applicable. It does allow for deep metadata cleaning as well. While it’ll take a bit more space - it does what it claims aplomb. And the $3 ‘support donation’ (I wouldn’t call this an IAP, in reality software and programs that were this capable were a ‘c note!’ If available, and could be only run on a desktop machine with plenty of power and time. Today, for a three dollar bill it’s 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 ‘filler’ usually but I’ve definitely benefited from the app in situations where the metadata isn’t something I want shared with the snap Keep up the excellent work, it’s an indispensable app for those who want or need its ability to scramble, eliminate or all together make the metadata disappear Thanks

I don’t have the paid version, I don’t need it. But I’ve been using it for I think years and it’s 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 who’s 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 it’s perfect because you can see the data in the Apple photos app: click share (box with arrow) and then select Metapho even if you aren’t 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 :)

Best Exif Metadata with Gain Map HDR display.

I have been using this wonderful app for more than two years. Besides all the Editing tools, one of the features is it can show the Apple’s Gain Map HDR imbedded in the image that enhances the image beautifully with vibrant color and details. This is awesome. The same image open and view in iPhone’s Photos app is dull and flat. Sorry Apple.☹️So this Metaphor app is the best and must have. I don’t know if other similar apps can show that vibrant effect plus the imbedded data. A guy on the web knows how to extract this file and apply it to non- Apple images. But the process is too complicated. I wish somebody use this data and rewrite it to become a “ready to use filter”, that will be awesome. I tried to do it manually with Photoshop to get the same effect but can’t get close.

UPDATE: Ok, for some reason I’m no longer getting the problem I mentioned below. The app is working like it used to for me. Which is great. So I’m 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 happen…someone had to go in and mess things up. For example: Changing a photo’s name. You used to be able to simply “Save as” on a photo’s name, rename it, then save. Easy peasy. But I guess a moron at “Metapho” thought “Let’s add more steps…”, so now when you do this it tries to save in your file system folders. Uhm, that’s 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.]

• Horizontal navigation is now possible when Camera info sheet / Assets and Auxies sheet is presented in medium detent mode • Fixes a crashing bug where Open In Metapho was requested from Metapho Inspector while Metapho did not have Photos Library permission • Fixes a visual issue where some buttons refused to be dimmed when they were inactive
