User Reviews for The Photo Investigator
The best metadata app
Photo investigator is the best...and I've tried many. Metadata for photos AND videos. Add back GPS data to photos/videos that have been edited in other apps that remove the data (also edit many other data fields). Access photo/video data from any app with the extension...not only photos and videos saved in your camera roll. Launch the app via URL scheme. Very responsive developer, open to ideas about what might improve the app. Also, get the in-app purchase, it is worth it.
Great tool
It’s a great, easy to use tool to check the metadata on photos and to remove it. I use it to make sure photos I’ve taken at private locations don’t have location data that could be a safety concern if the photo is shared or posted online. (Ex: where one’s kids go to school, your home address follows by a social media post that you’re out of town, etc). It actually helped me figure out that my partner was sending me pics of him supposedly at work, but the app helped me that the photo was taken on a different day. Even when the metadata is wiped, the absence of data can tell you that the sender scrubbed the pic before sending it. Very helpful. It may also show you the file name of the photo as the sender as it saved on their device. Ex: “fake profile pic”, “found online-not me,” etc.
This App Is Long In The Tooth, but useable
I never do this, but there’s no way through Daniel’s website to submit feedback or ask questions. So: Are there any planned updates for Investigator? I love this app and it has been REALLY helpful in my many projects to convert VHS Home movies and have them placed in my library correctly, ditto for scanned pictures. However, its becoming obvious that the last update was a year ago. Small, obvious, and most annoying example: I can’t split screen investigator on the 12.9” iPad Pro. I have a small list of other things here that aren’t broken, they just aren’t there because of the age of the app. I will happily update my review upon receiving your response. (For reference: I have purchased the in-app “pro” upgrade)
Thanks
Update 2: autoplay issue seems fixed.Update: A recent update forces autoplay of videos after the metadata has been loaded. Autoplay makes more sense for the preview of the video than when metadata has already been loaded. In either case, it should be made an option, not forced on the user. Knocking a star off until resolved.Original: A great app for checking and fixing metadata. Even conveniently allows access to the Recently Deleted album which most apps used to not.
User-friendly But Not Rock Solid
This app has a very nice interface that allows the user to view and edit image metadata quickly and easily. It also has a number of neat features for these edits, such as copying locations from other images or direct lat/long input. Unfortunately, it seems like it doesn’t handle certain simple things such as timestamps properly: it appears that there’s no way to set the time zone on a picture, for example, so pictures I edit from my trips show up out-of-order in my camera roll and images from lunch indicate that they were taken in the middle the night.
New Grandchild
I wanted info on a photo that someone else sent me. So I started searching for an app to give me metadata. Have it the app for about a week. So far I like it. Discovered one thing that I hope be corrected. Found a pic in FB memories that I knew had been taken in 2018. When I saved the picture so that it was readily available, I checked the metadata & the info said the pic had been taken in 2020 instead of 2018. Looked it up in 2018 & metadata was correct. Would like to see if this could some how be resolved. Otherwise I like it.
Huge cache issue -literally-!
First, let me say that no other app I have used removes location & EXIF data as thoroughly as Investigator.Unfortunately, this app has a major issue that has persisted update after update: every single video edited somehow remains in the cache. It does not matter that you delete the video from the camera roll, it still remains in the app's cache. So basically one has to delete & reinstall the app every time (I edit videos, so memory adds up pretty fast).Other than this major flaw, which I have constantly reported in my reviews (which have been deleted), this is a great app. Just so annoying to use...
Daniel Anderson is a hero...
and probably a Saint!One of the most important features that is missing from iOS is proper retention of time date location info for images and videos. This solves an issue that is completely baffling that it the issue even exists! Indispensable, thank you Daniel! Please support this developer he is providing a service that is literally invaluable since apple can't be bothered with fixing the problem!
Check photo location
I use this app mostly to check photo location. Click on the photo (i.e. in the Photo Library), click Share (a square with the arrow from the top), add Investigate to the actions (click Edit Actions… at the bottom), then you can click Investigate, and open Location in Google or Apple etc maps. Yes, at times it seems you need a PhD in computer science…
I love this app. Convenient, fast access to seeing metadata info
Download the app and stick it somewhere out of sight you’ll never need the actual app icon. After you download it, go to the photos app, select a photo, tap on the share button on the bottom left corner (a square with an upward arrow coming out of it). Scroll down all the way to “edit actions” and tap the green plus button to the left of “investigate” with the magnifying glass logo (this app). This moves access to the app to the top so you don’t need to scroll to get to it. Now all you have to do to check the file format, size, other metadata is tap this share button and tap investigate. So easy. There’s a shortcut someone shared but takes way more steps. This is a shorter cut than the shortcut. Couldn’t ask for more. I shoot RAW with the CameraPro app and use Lightroom and often need to double check file format or size. Thank you Photo Investigator!!!
