CleanMy®Phone: Cleanup Storage

Once or twice a year, I try to clear out my unnecessary photos from the photos app. Every time, I make it no more 10 minutes before I quit out of frustration and accept the fact that I’ll have junk photos, videos, and screenshots stored with the rest of my photos for life. Gemini solves this issue. I think I spent probably a solid 30-45 minutes yesterday decluttering my photo collection. I know that sounds rough, but I cleared thousands of unnecessary files - something that would have previously taken numerous hours. Not only that, they almost make this process fun with swiping your photos to the keep pile or the trash pile. The way the app organized groups of photos was phenomenal - sometimes I’ll take 20 photos to get that 1 good one. With this app, I’m able to delete the other 19 in one tap. What I absolutely loathe about this app is the subscription model. I’m beating a dead horse here, but this is a product that we should be able to pay for once. With how great it is, I’d easily pay $20 for this app and keep it for life. Unfortunately, that’s not an option. Thankfully, because of the its efficiency, I was able to cancel the subscription before my trial expired all while successfully decluttering my phone.

I downloaded this app for 3 specific reasons: 1. For the editing tools, like the option to blur the backgrounds of my photos. 2. For the “clean up albums & clear up space” feature. This automatic grouping feature is capable of automatically sorting through your albums and selecting things like blurry, low quality images that you can delete to clear up space. 3. Because it was SUPPOSED to be free. That’s why it gets 1 star — it was listed as a free app yet there wasn’t any of the features available unless you sign up for a monthly MINIMUM fee of $4.99. This means you download this app thinking some of these cool tools are supposed to be free yet none are. It only starts you on a “free trial” that will charge you for the app “renewal” automatically unless you catch it & cancel it. So basically useless as a “free app.” The fact that this app was intentionally misleading is what makes me lose respect & made me totally u willing to pay for the services within the app. I don’t like feeling scammed. I’m going 2 download a truly “free” app with similar features now. I also found snap seed, which I already found more useful (although it’s not got these exact features) but I’ll be hunting a non-misleading app to assist in clearing up photo space… or I’ll just manually go through & delete the duplicates, and accidental snaps that clutter my phone. That might be more time consuming but at least it’s free!

Downloaded this app awhile ago then forgot about it. Going thru all my apps today to delete ones I wasn’t using & couldn't even remember what this app was about. After reading the description decided to try it out. I have over 24K pics, videos etc on my phone! Aye yi -yi! I just haven’t taken time (ob) to delete ANY over the years although many are dupts, blurry etc. The task was too daunting! The only feature I’ve used so far on this app is the one that shows all blurry pics-what’s nice is it allows you to de-select the ones you still want to keep. It instantly allowed me to delete all the blurry pics I didn’t want-that alone would have taken a LONG time-out of 24K it’s a relatively low number-300 but still! It breaks all photos into groups of duplicates, similar, blurry, videos, screen shots. Now, I love my doggo but really, do I NEED over 10K pics of him?? My next project with this app is to attack my Dupts-that will almost be FUN! Looking forward to “spring-cleaning” my phone!! Thanks Gemini!!
