The old cliche “A picture is worth a thousand words” is true, not just because photos can capture incredible moments, but because they also contain valuable information called metadata. 

Metapho is an incredibly useful tool published by Zininworks, Inc. that allows you to read and edit an image’s valuable metadata in a clear and detailed way.

Whether you’re a photographer or someone who wants to take control of their privacy when sharing photos, this is a very powerful app.

Concept and Functionality:

When it comes to photo apps, the main thing I look for as a reviewer is ease of use. This is primarily because users are often editing multiple photos and there’s nothing worse than having to waste time switching between menus.

Though Metapho breaks down a ton of data for each photo, I was thrilled to see how easy it makes it to transition between individual images, albums, and even documents.

The emphasis is clearly on simplicity of use as a viewer for photo metadata such as date, file name, size, camera model, shutter speed, location. You can adjust photo info one at a time or perform batch operations.

Normally I save the part about upgrades until later in the review, but I’m switching it up for this one. While Metapho is a free app to download, you can only view photo metadata; you can’t remove metadata or change dates,  locations or share without upgrading.

Features:

Metapho is pleasantly full of surprises when it comes to extra features. For bulk photos, the app allows you to select batches of images so you can easily swipe through them in the detail screen.

If you choose to upgrade and unlock editing, you can edit and remove information in bulk, as well.

Documents contain valuable metadata, too, and can be explored in the Documents tab in Metapho. This is especially important for anyone who manipulates and/or shares sensitive documents on their device.

Value:

Metapho is available to download from the App Store for free, but as I mentioned above, you’re initially restricted on what you can do within the app.

The price to unlock everything is $3.99.

Usually I would say this isn’t a bad thing, but I think the app would benefit from having a trial feature that allowed you to edit a limited number of photos so those who are unfamiliar with manipulating metadata could see the value in upgrading to the full editor.

Overall, Metapho is a very powerful app that’s great for casual users, photographers, and anyone who shares photos online. 

Metapho requires iOS 13.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
