Gallery Doctor - Photo Cleaner for Android
The algorithms work really impressive! Nice job! But the UI has some critical mistakes. How can I decide which photo of the group is better absolutely without zoom? Also, reviewing groups of duplicates could be much faster if swipe up/down when looking on the photo could open next/prev group right here. Finally, photos on the list of duplicate groups and on a detailed look of the same group have different order, so you tap on the first photo, trying to swipe right, but ooops, it's not first here, but last.
Does a good job in identifying photos to delete and gives information how much space it will save. Unfortunately, the UI to remove similar photos is hard to work with, which is a huge pain when you have 2500 similar photos to review. UI controls are being hid after a second and it is hard to get it back. Without it it is hard to navigate through images within a group and mark photos for deletion. All that can be nicely done in the main view, but there you can't really see how the images differ.
It takes time going through photos to verify since I have modeling albums that have similar photos but Def found all the duplicates and makes it easier to find the videos and different lengths... went from maxed out on 8gb device storage and maxed out 64gb memory card to 4gb avail device storage and 30gb avil on external storage. Beyond happy
I didn't expect a whole lot from an app like this and must say I'm pleasantly surprised. It took a little while to sort but I had tons of photos. I'd like to see an option to ignore multiple groups in one go. For example, I know a bunch of photos need to be cleared from a trip, but I want to really take time and review them. So instead of hitting three dot and ignore for 20 different groups I should be able to long press and select the groups and ignore them in one go.
Swipe left /right to delete / keep is much better than select to delete/keep. The user should be given choice what he prefers for all the type of reviews. Select to delete is already available on other gallery applications so there will be not point installing this application. There can also be option to scan again as the the first time the user doesn't know what to do and app thinks everything has been reviewed.
Wtf this app is being a sitting duck right now. It doesn't do anything and it keep showing the pictures that I already asked it to delete. My memory is still full even tho it said 90% strong whatever that is. This app is only have the looks. Useless af.
It's very good. Highlights crap photos and potential duplicates and then presents them to you to chose whether to keep or delete them. You can even compare detail so that you can select crisp photos over fuzzy ones. Nice...
I also like the swipe option within the app. Generally speaking, the app gives different categories and options to delete either pics or videos and it really is suprr easy to handle. Definitely recommending this one to anyone who wants to free up space rather quickly. :)
I like the app. But I'm disappointed that it didn't search my external SD card which has about 70% of my pictures in it. It did a great job with the internal memory photos but the reason why I downloaded this app is because I have multiple duplicates in my SD card. I used it, and I liked it but I am uninstalling because of this issue
I installed this because I have a batch of identical wallpapers with different names and I wanted to get rid of the duplicates. They are in the same folder but this app did not detect even one of them as similar. I am talking about 15 pairs of identical images.
Groups multiple pictures with different poses together in multiple groups, with a particular pose being included in 2 or more groups, along with other poses' duplicates. If you take the advice of the algorithm, you end up deleting all of one or more poses, and you are still left with one pose having multiple copies. Does exactly what I *don't* want to do when deleting copies.
Downloaded this to remove a TON of duplicate that i ended up with SOMEHOW. This app did no good whatsoever. Had pics that were NOTHING alike grouped as similar and while it got rid of SOME duplicates I'm having to try another app and hope it does the job right this time
It doesn't take long at all for the app to do it's magic. I am having a small issue when performing the swipe left or right to keep or discard in the aspect that it doesn't always generate the preview, but I just save the ones I can't preview.
It's so nice to have a quick way to quickly find all the questionable pix. I love how it doesn't delete anything until you give it permission. Some pix will always have emotional value even if they aren't your best efforts. Thank you for a great app!
One of the most innovative apps out there. Helps you clean up your phone. Algorithm is is a but cryptic, doesn't describe how it decides if a picture is bad. However does a decent job. Duplicate image finder works like a charm.
This app seriously does everything that it's expected to accomplish, AND SOME!!! Now if only I can let this app run wild through some of my drives that have accumulated so much extra junk from automatic syncing and backing up!!!
It's a good app but it shows duplicate file but I'm fact they are not, if I didn't know exactly what I have in my phone I could have deleted many things that I really need. Make sure you preview things before deleting them based on its suggestions. Its really risky
Super helpful for my obsession with photos and editing, which leaves me stuck with a large number of duplicate photos in several editing and gallery folders. I will rate it 5 up from 4, as I continue to use and find it consistent and reliable. As I initially stated above upon installing this app, that I would give the app 5 stars if I found it to be reliable and consistent after continued use, as of today, I gladly give it 5 stars. Great App and I'm sorry I didn't find it sooner!!!
UI and functions are good but not performing it's tasks. The photos I choose to delete are removed from records of gallery doctor but they are still present in my phone. Its not deleted from the phone. So task remains undone. Useless app. Total timewaste.
I take so many pictures and eventually my phone slows way down. This app is exactly what I needed to clean up all my photos. It did rate some of my favorite pics as Bad Photos to be cleaned because they were dramatic and darker.
I have needed This App forever! I take so many pictures all day everyday and never have had the time to review and delete unwanted,copies or just plain bad photos
Copied pics and vids from smartphone to tablet, ended up with lots of duplicate data. Gallery Doctor identified and enabled me to clean up the duplicates, thus saving memory. It was easy to use even for this old man. Definitely an app to keep!
I don't know if there is a way to recover images this app deleted. But there better be. I opened it once and was careful about going threw & looking at every pic before I let it delete anything, But there are hundreds of images GONE. I was saving important images of documents even &other things that I can't get back again so I was very cautious. Now I'm very upset .
I haven't yet had any reason to regret installing and using it. I'll change my mind if it deletes something I later decide I wish I'd kept. Which isn't fair, I know, but I'm a nutcase.
While swiping right left to keep or delete photos it lags quite often. Need update to fix this other than this all good.
It's fantastic, but it doesn't delete from Google Photos, which is my main focus for keeping below quota there. Deleting from device is pointless by comparison - I hardly keep any photos on here.
Great app, the only thing is it doesn't clearly state when I have the exact same photo in two locations. I get nervous that I'll delete both copies. But it's easy to use and helpful!
Though sometimes mis-identification of bad pictures or similar ones can get annoying, it does provide a reminder and a good method of clearing the least-needed pictures from my phone.
This app searches for any duplicate or similar or poor quality pix and gives you the option whether to save or delete any or all of them. It will run in background if you must do other things on your phone. A great way to free some memory on your phone or sd card.
It's a fast simple way to organize an attack all those images we have. An best of all. It's purpose driven an does exactly what it says it can
A very easy and clean way to get rid of just a ton of awful moments captured. Good way to detox and cleanse your phones gallery anytime you like
But it isn't useful since deleting pictures only removes them from your local device. If you use Google cloud sync for your photos then this doesn't really clean up your collection. It would be great if you had the option to remove the cloud copy or just open the files in another photo viewer so you could delete them from the Google photos app that takes care of this.
Moved thousands of photos onto a different memory card and lost my place. Transferred them all again and it found the ones that were duplicated. Such a clever app.
Automatically hiding the function bar in the preview mode is so annoying that I have to swipe down from the edge of screen everytime to unhide the bar and toggle the delete mark. And that mark button in the preview mode is also extremely difficult to be selected due to its small size and proximity to the nearby buttons.
It isn't overly sensitive...it gives you friendly reminders toward the weekend (not during the week when you are too busy!) to clean up bad photos and make room on sd card. I just love this app!
Very handy app to organize gallery pictures, get rid of bad and duplicate ones, and preserve good ones.
Definitely simple & easy to use. Though analysis of many "bad/duplicate" pics are incorrect, u can't expect perfection from a computer tasked to do something only actual human eye inspection can perform, so be sure to review each photo it wants to delete before cleaning. ALWAYS BACK UP FIRST! Slow chore no matter how u choose to clean up but the "review" process is MUCH faster than going through each pic in ur gallery manually. Hopeful no issues will pop up ☺
Do you take 17 photos of your kids jumping against a brick wall... I do. You need this app.
The app works great. Please add a magnifier to the picture review process as this helps to better qualify if you want to keep it in some circumstances. Furthermore an undelete section is also needed as the current option is available for a limited time.

While it can't quantify the meaning, reason or memory of pictures, it does do a decent job of pulling out ones you might be ok with deleting. It doesn't understand animated pictures on Samsung phones though where you need all pictures in a burst to run the animation. It's trying to delete all but the best from the groups. The save or delete animation is nice. I officially deleted 20 pictures out of my 1000, so there's that....
