Duplicate Photos Fixer Pro App Reviews

Wow. What a great buy. For a buck I scanned through 12,500 photos and found 500 dups. All in less than 5 minutes. A very good use of my time.

Will it detect if you copied and pasted in the same folder? Maybe. If it’s a supported file type (.tif, .jpg, …) and it’s really a copy of the same photo then yes. If it’s RAW, NEF or any advanced format, no. Can it compare TWO FOLDERS of pictures… It can NOT compare one folder to the native Mac Pictures app library of photos. E.g. You can’t open the pictures library (where your photos are) and any other folder. Will it look for duplicates within the Pictures library itself…it says so…even with loose restrictions on matching it found none and I KNOW they exist. Oh wait, Pictures warns you about importing suspect duplicates — it doesn’t appear to detect rapid succession of pictures in a row…taken in bursts even with loose criteria for these photos. Short story, I love the nterface and concept but the implementation is not there yet. Oh, Lets talk support.. As an IT geek, I saw the 24x7 support and thought “impressive”… Then I dialed the number and overseas support wanted to screen share with me instead of answering my questions. I kept asking why and they then hung up on me. Hum… Again, great concept, poor implementation. I’m hoping future versions fix these annoyances.

So I have been backing up photos to various flash drives and devices for years, never having a chance to see if they were backed up prior as its a tedious process to go folder to folder looking for duplicate photos. I used this app and after about 5-10 minutes of analyzing almost a Terabyte of videos and pictures it was able to find about 10,000 duplicates taking up about 15GB of space. I went through the app looking at the side by side comparison of about the first 400 and they were indeed duplicates. I had the system auto delete and it was a savior. So worth the $1 investment in fact I would have paid more.

I love the app, expecially the one that is $1 for purchase. Worth buying.

In addition to the features that comes with the free edition this one has duplicate search criteria and they work quite well.

Amazingly quick. Easily worth the price and more.

Solid app. Worked flawlessly to find over 1300 duplicates. Just buy it, seriously.

Good application for finding duplicates. Note the program will not automatically select the original in either the free for paid version. It will select what the program believes to be the best resolution. Support was not at all helpful. Very combative. They did convince me to upgrade to a paid version and said that would fix the issue. “the paid version has more options” I saw no difference in the programs and had the same issue.

Excellent app.

Application cannot find same exact picture with a different file name…garbage.

Well worth the cost. Helps sort through thousands of pictures files in an instant. Let’s you auto selected and then review before deletion. Great tool.

The program is fair at best, in my opinion. (It’s probably worth the “buck-and two cents" I paid - maybe). The program did not find some of the duplicate photos even with setting at minimum values and identical pictures in the same photo library. However; When I contacted their “Help” number for assistance with improving performanceof the program, I believe the call may have gone “Astray”. I permitted them to “capture” my computer to look for errors in their program. Everything they did was with my permission. However, their diagnostic of my computer was “interesting”. Supposedly, they found 10 basic computer (OS type) problems including “errors”, “warnings”, etc., which they offered to correct “on this call”. Nick listed them all in the “text editor” he opened……one through 10. He were going transfer me to their “technical” experts, at which point I asked them to terminate the call. They complied without any arguement. Since my computer is still covered under Apple Care, I immediately contacted Apple. They did a full deep system diagnostics, and the computer was shown to be operating perfectly, (from an OS and browser standpoint). No “errors”, “warnings”, problems, (or spyware). ! I have no way of knowing why the Photo Duplicate program will not find all the duplicates in my library, but I do know that according to Apple, my computer does not (and did not) have the 10 problems the Photo Duplicate “Help” desk needed to fix! While I’m sure Nick in India (he told me he was located in India) was well meaning (you can make your own decision on that), his technical recommendations were quite contrary to what Support Support found on my computer.

This app was exactly what I needed. It was easy to use and removed duplicate photos from my Photo app.

It quickly identified duplicates that another app missed and may it easy to remove the duplicates. Easy to use and effective.

I do like the app, but new users make sure to check all the images that the app chooses as “duplicates”. When I first ran the program it marked a few photos as duplicates that were similar, but not the same. Overall, I’d say it got it right about 95% of the time.

Im glad it was only .99, The only pre req listed was osx 10.7. It does not work with my older iphoto version. More information would have been nice.

Easy peasy. I had so many duplicates it was overwhelming. All gone—snap of the fingers. Great app

Works faster than before, does a fine job of sorting out duplicates, generally preserves the best version of near-duplicates.

Works very well but will crash if you import too many images at once. Small batches work perfectly.

Works fast and easy
