MetaImage Unlimited 4+

New Review As of 2023. This app simply gets better. The app simply works. Read more below. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Beware of overly negative reviews here in the App Store. Most people either really like an app or really do not like an app, and those people will write many paragraphs to tell their story of why they like or hate an app. Watch out for "one-liners"

I have many images from the past that I need to place on a map. Now I can get that done. The map is just what I was looking for. I needed the Hybrid Satellite map so I could see the roads, but also lakes and streams that are not on a road map. In short the map works great.

One request to the developer. Please make the map remember my last zoom level and my last position. That will assist me when I am dealing with photos that are in the same general area. Excellent job createing a useful app.

Hi GuyLock,

Thank you very much for your very motivating comment!
The zoom changes you discovered (when you make a position change) is indeed an issue. We will fix it in the future update.
One more time, thank you very much for your contribution to the project.

I’m not a pro photographer, so some (many) of the features are unimportant to me. I have scanned in a number of old photos and I wanted to enter dates, places, keywords, and captions. It has presets that l could use for several of the features, for example, camera, good. I could not create a preset for a location.

For Photos, the IPTC Captions is the same as the descriptions in Photos. This is on a separate menu. I wish there was a preset for IPTC Caption, date, keyword, and location. All of that is pretty good, as many reviewers have also reported. I would not advise editing too many photos before processing, converting, overwriting, or saving. It has crashed many times. I’m slowly noting some patterns, but I shudder each time I hit the Process, overwrite all edited files. I’d add one more star just for this. I’d add another star if the presets were more customizable.

Update: This is still pretty good. If I update while the cursor is on the “caption”, this will crash the program. In comparing with other EXIF editors, this may have the cleanest windows for the EXIF and IPTC data. Also, the developer contact me shortly after I posted my review, for this, I’m increasing my rating.

Thank you for your detailed feedback!

My primary interest was in accessing and viewing all the metadata in my images, but especially the Fujifilm makers notes and XMP. For viewing the data, this app is excellent. At first I thought the data was limited/incomplete, but then I realized you need to edit the Preferences/Tag Preferences. From there you can select any tags you want to view from a complete list. Then you can drag and sort your selected tags and even add insert headings so that the tags are organized in the way that is meaningful to you. You can also hide any tags that are blank, so you are not swimming in blank fields. I cannot comment on the apps ability to revise the metadata, but as a tool to meaningfully organize and view the metadata in your images, its well worth the money.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear that you found the app useful!
