Pretty Good

I have a new ipad (3rd Gen) and so far this app seems to work pretty well. It is no longer crippleware, and there is nothing else to buy. For the $2.99 you get the full version. It showes the meta data for any picture the ipad takes, as well as any picture I import to the ipad from my cameras, even RAW files, using the camera connection kit. The web browser is OK, but you will not find much meta data on most pictures on the web as it is usually stripped off when the pictures are uploaded. Some people leave the data attached on some of the photo sites. It would be nice to see the meta data reading option available in a pop up menu when using safari, rather than using the browser in the app.

OK. Just bought the app. So far, so good with pix on iPad. Now, what's the camera kit... Got my canon dslr but I can't plug it into the iPad... Um... Wonder if I need to buy something else... From Apple, of course... Gees... Dumb of me to think $2.99 would be enough...

Fast, functional access to metadata of your photos.

A useful tool for photographers who need to quickly check out the dozens of metadata numbers recorded in each image. I've bought a few of these EXIF apps and to my surprise many showed almost no data. Some haven't been updated to OS5. Others had trouble reading images from newer cameras. PhotoMeta just works as advertised and unceremoniously does its job. + simple one-screen layout + works fast to quickly thumb through images and data + set up favorites to more easily see the data valuable to you + mail data and a thumbnail + histogram view + pull photos from PhotoStream, Dropbox and the web (built-in browser) - videos unnecessarily in thumbnails

Superb app!

PhotoMeta is an excellent app—easy to use, flawless, beautifully designed, and highly informational, providing all the metadata a user might desire. I am legally blind and I take photographs. Because my vision is severely limited, often I will see later in a picture things I could not see at the time with my naked eye. I use a DSLR and enlarge my photos on a jumbo computer screen. After I purchased an iPad, I wished to have an app that would read the metadata of each photo aloud to me using Apple’sVoiceOver capability. I wrote to the PhotoMeta developer to request that the app work more completely with VoiceOver. The new version works flawlessly. The metadata are read aloud completely, enabling me to know the settings I need to use to make better photos for the future. The app navigates easily. All the buttons and images are labeled clearly. This unique app makes an important contribution to the blind and to all photographers who want to use the iPad as an advanced tool. Kudos toGalarina and PhotoMeta

Outstanding!

I am a new iPad2 user and have a lot of interest in photography. My wallet is also modest. I have been looking for a program that accurately reads metadata and displays that information in a reasonably attractive interface. I've been using photometa for a few weeks and the performance exceeds all the other apps that I've tried. It is a stable performer that is as user friendly as anything on my pad. Nice job and a couple thumbs up from this amateur photographer. Chris provides prompt professional support!

Have had this app for 10min and has it shut down six times now. Get this fixed or credit my account!

Wonderful app for serious - and other - photographers

This app gives comprehensive shooting data for photos you've put on an iPad, in a very appealing format. The Basic data accurately identifies camera model and lens model and date/time, among other things. Detailed data is exhaustive info on camera settings and other meta data. This info is extremely useful. Note: a prior version of this app could not access some of this data for photos put on the iPad via iTunes, because the data was not present: iTunes removed part of the metadata during the synch. I have not yet checked whether current versions of iTunes have fixed this problem. But for photos you have put on the iPad directly (I use Apple camera connection kit), this app is splendid, even for RAW files from very new cameras.

Outstanding Technical Support!

I have downloaded several apps to check the metadata in my photos and this one is, by far, the best. I love that I can customize the information I want to see & easily switch back to the "everything" view, if needed. I emailed support about the metadata not showing for some photos in my some of my albums. Chris took the time to find out exactly what was happening & explained the reason for the missing info, even though, it turned out to having nothing to do with the app's abilities. It seems that iDevices remove metadata from photos saved to the regular & shared photo streams. It is confusing because not the same amount of info is removed each time. Thank you, Chris, for an excellent app & superb support!
