Works on iPad Too
Running an iPad? Clever Cleaner functions flawlessly in compatibility mode, bringing the same powerful toolkit to your tablet (full iPad‑optimised interface coming soon).
I never write reviews but this is exactly what i’ve been looking for. The fact there’s a default “best option” on the similars tab makes sorting much quicker. The video compression saves so much storage and i can’t notice a difference in quality after checking multiple times (but you even have 3 options of quality to decide which suits you) AND the new compressed videos keep their metadata. The swipe feature is so helpful for deleting little and often and makes it feel more like a game. The fact there are no ads AT ALL and all features are free is genuinely incredible. I like that it’s easy to undo anything and photos are always in the recently deleted folder so no permanent mistakes can be made. All the controls are intuitive too. I’ve tried so many apps and this one is perfect and has features i didn’t even know i needed.

genuinely revolutionary app, with a great team willing to listen to criticism and make changes
daniiannallen
i take all my photos as live photos because i like having the option to tweak them afterwards, but they sure take up storage fast. this app's ability to mass select and make live photos into stills (AND deleting the originals) is genuinely a lifesaver. i also really appreciate the heavies category which let me know i had a 30 minute screen recording that i'd forgotten about taking up loads of spacethe developers listened to my criticism of the app and have fixed a major issue i had which is a great sign. thank you!i would still love the option to sort the live photos tab by oldest first so i can more easily remove old live photos, and the option to swipe-select multiple live photos like you can in the native photos app, but those are my only small critiques. the app as a whole is a magnificent

Easy app to help choose photos to delete to save space

I’ve recently installed this app to help me tackle the overwhelming amount of photos I have! I find it easy to use, and am working through a few at a time…it helps me decide which ones I really want to keep by grouping similar photos together and suggesting the best one (I can also overrule the app’s favourite). It makes a huge task manageable. Also, as we have had a family bereavement, it means I can skip groups of photos that are too difficult to make a decision about now, and move on to less emotional groups to start streamlining my photos…I’m glad I can do this and avoid being upset, and can come back to those more difficult choices later. Overall, I like this app

I am of a certain Age and i am not computer literate, and even the iPhone I own had to be set up on my friends daughter, and it kept coming up with nearly fall will stop working and various other quotes like that. The thing is I only use this phone as a phone I text I email I take some photographs and that’s it. I’m not on the Internet all the time and there was so many apps on this phone and this service came up so I added it to my phone, but at the same time I deleted 50% of the apps on my phone because I have never used them once so I’m hoping between that and the cleaning service this app provides my phone should work fine from now on, fingers crossed anyway
