Swipewipe: Photo Cleaner 4+

A simple strike through? You joking. My life is forever changed ‘cause of a bunch of rows and bunch of swipes?

Honestly couldn’t have stumbled upon this app more randomly but I’m rolling with it, supes happy the universe decided to give me a lil’ gift today.

With such visual simplicity, by separating your vast photo library into segments, you feel like you just took a limitless pill and you see ✨everything✨ (there’s even a progress bar! In case you get tired after sorting for hours you can just pick up where you left off another day)

Already loved the concept just by looking at the preview images, and so I then read up on the dev’s Product Hunt launch page and agree with their statement (honestly not a paid review, I wish):

“The thought of sorting through [over 18,000] pictures one-by-one is daunting. And I didn't want to rely on an algorithm to go through these personal memories. So, I designed Swipewipe to be sort of like a to-do list”

Plus such a great team behind the app: I had an issue where the app wasn’t working at first, as I could only see one month (out of hundreds), so I wrote to Adam and before I could say ‘swipewipe rocks’ he replied and helped me figure out the issue.

I’m a five star giver, even when an app isn’t perfect cause pobody is nerfect. But this app is perfect.

I’ve had a taste and I’m now mad on power: thus begins the infinite (but organised) journey to complete photo library domination.

This has made sorting through my images so much less daunting and so easy! It’s easy to navigate and doesn’t force you to watch ads. It has some ads pop up that you can easily swipe past. In the age of subscription apps and unstoppable ads, this app is a godsend. Sort through one month folder a day and your whole library is sorted in a month or so. Only downside is, if you complete a month (say like 50 photos), that’s your limit for the day. I suppose every app needs to have a reason for payment so this is not so bad. Cool features include easy sorted monthly photos, progress bars to come back to, back button if you change your mind about images kept/deleted and easy interface. Love!

I’m someone who very rarely writes a review, so you know an app is amazing when I do take the time to write one! Swipewipe has changed my storage situation forever - it’s super simple to scroll through your photos and delete them instead of going into each photo on your Photos App.

I’ve been able to downgrade my iCloud plan thanks to this app and I’m now saving money each month. I also don’t mind paying £4.99 for the luxury of having this app, once you’ve deleted them it can become and annual tradition to have a cleanse!

Thank you Swipewipe for helping me in a creative way to sort through my pictures.
