Reviews
Good information up front

I found this gave me quick access to basic information that the iPhone should have as part of its operating system, information about image dimensions. What would make this better fit me is a greater magnification. It goes to 4x. How about going to 8x or 16x magnification?
View EXIF data inside Photos!
Grogor!
Once you have the app, you can use its extension inside Photos by tapping the Share button. It’s great to see all the nerdy details behind your photos
App Not Working

After installing and giving access to my photos I get only a black screen. Very disappointing! As this is a brand new app I should have known better. I will be contact customer support immediately as of now I feel like I just blew $2. Do not believe I rates one star but...
Does not work on iPhone6s

Maybe because I only have 16 GB of RAM? When launching the app, it displays all my thumbnails. Click on any of them and the app crashes...
Major flaw

Only works if photo is not stored in iCloud. If it's not on the device (which is rare these days to be on the device) you will see no info for the selected image.
Remove GPS?

I can't see for the life of me how I remove the data from my photos, only show data....
Yesssss! Awesome.

This app is fantastic. FINALLY a way to get at all that data embedded in photos. And the way it integrates into the share sheet is top-notch. Well designed, excellent, cheap little app. ??
Does not function as advertised

Can not add or edit EXIF or Copyright info as advertised. Please Fix.
Good start

This app has a good start. A few things I would like to see added over time: - When a photo has been saved to the camera roll with an app like Workflow that lets you pick an arbitrary (but DCIM-legal) photo name, Exify needs to show that name instead of or in addition to the IMG_XXXX.JPG name that it shows now. - Needs ability to edit more IPTC fields, like keywords. -
Pretty darn good for version 1

I've purchased several apps in the past that allowed you to view metadata for photographs, but Exify goes way beyond that. Histograms, location data with maps, and even the ability to edit metadata and add watermarks. This is version 1 so there are some bugs. The biggest is that Exify currently doesn't play well with iCloud photo library. If you have it set to upload your originals and "Optimize iPhone Storage" Exify won't be able to open your photos, and may crash if you try. This is very annoying but there is a workaround. If you open the photo in the Photos app first this will download it from iCloud. (and if you select the heart icon and make it a favorite the photo won't be removed from your device in the future) Hopefully the developer will fix this soon. There's also one odd design choice; the Exify app can only VIEW metadata. You have to open an image in the Photos app, choose edit and select Exify in order to EDIT metadata. Hopefully they'll add this feature to the app itself in the future.
