## Description

**Photo EXIF & Metadata Editor** is a powerful Chrome extension designed for photographers and image enthusiasts to view, edit, or completely remove EXIF data from photos. EXIF data includes camera settings such as model, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, ISO speed, and GPS location information where the photo was taken.

This intuitive tool acts as an EXIF eraser, allowing you to protect your privacy by stripping sensitive metadata or correct inaccurate details like wrong GPS coordinates or missing camera info. With batch editing capabilities, you can modify multiple photos at once—saving time and effort. Whether you want to withhold your camera details or ensure metadata accuracy, this extension is the perfect companion for managing your photo metadata efficiently.

## Review summary

Users consistently report that the app fails to recognize granted storage permissions and is not listed in the necessary system settings to enable full file access. Many are concerned about unnecessary location permissions required by the app. Due to these issues, the app often crashes or cannot open files, rendering it unusable, especially on newer Android versions. This leads to widespread frustration and uninstallations.

### Cons

- App repeatedly requests storage permissions even after they are granted.
- App is not listed in the system's 'All Files Access' permission settings, preventing users from granting necessary permissions.
- Requires access to location data, which users find unnecessary and intrusive for its functionality.
- App crashes or is unusable due to permission issues, especially on Android 12.
- Cannot open or edit any files because of permission and access issues.
