An underrated, very useful app – Deleter Review
Not sure what I would do without this app, or what others are doing, but I can’t live without it! I’ve been using it for a while now and, while it’s not perfect, love it.
I mark photos I want to keep as favorites, I make sure to sync ALL photos and videos with Dropbox and Google Photos (or Google Drive, iCloud, etc) and then open up Deleter to remove all the non-favorites. I instantly free up several gigs of data on my cell phone.
I love that before you delete all photos you can still see which are going to be deleted and select from that same screen which you actually want to keep.
I also love that it doesn’t permanently delete them immediately, provided you are human and made a mistake (it’s not a bug, it’s a feature guys lol). It moves them all to the Recently Deleted directory, where you confirm that you want to delete them all. I can’t imagine deleting all photos and then cherry picking the ones I want to keep, or vice versa.
Hidden photos are not deleted, but again this is a convenience feature, not a bug.
It’s also fairly quick and handles deleting over a thousand photos and videos with ease, and has never frozen on me, surprisingly.
Highly recommend this app! Also the developer seems to be relatively responsive, which is always appreciated as a fellow developer.
Feedback: Would love to be able to exclude certain albums, but I know that might be quite difficult considering that it seems to really be based on the Favorites feature. That would make it perfect though!
