User Reviews

Users appreciate Photo Compare for its core function of side-by-side photo comparison, including synced zoom and pan, and minimal permissions. However, multiple reviewers highlight issues such as inability to select images from different folders at once, slow loading with many photos, lack of an in-app delete option, and an unwieldy image picker interface for large libraries. Some also mention missing RAW image support and color tone inconsistencies during comparison. Overall, it is great for basic comparison tasks but has notable usability limitations when handling large or complex photo collections.
Pros
  • App successfully compares two photos side by side.
  • Useful features like synced pan and zoom improve comparison.
  • Simple and effective for selecting best shots or assessing progress over time.
  • No unnecessary permissions such as internet access, enhancing privacy.
  • Provides useful metadata such as file names and some EXIF data.
Cons
  • Cannot select images from different folders simultaneously, limiting comparison flexibility.
  • Slow loading and refreshing when dealing with large photo libraries.
  • No easy delete function within the app; deletion requires manual effort outside the app.
  • Image picker interface is cumbersome when dealing with many albums or thousands of images.
  • Lack of support for RAW image files, which appear as blank or missing.
  • Minor color tone differences between compared images noted (yellow tint issue).
