User Reviews

Summary: Reviewers praise Photo Collector Free for fast bulk image saving, a convenient grid/view gallery, and strong organization features such as duplicate detection, keyword tagging, and preserving the original image source. The app exports easily to the Photo Library and other apps, and works well on iPhone and iPad. However, multiple users report stability issues, including freezes and hangs during saves and exports, particularly with large batches or certain iOS sharing flows. There are concerns about the app’s maintenance status and updates. Overall, it offers powerful functionality but stability and support may be inconsistent.

Pros

Fast bulk image saving with a grid/thumbnail gallery for easy browsing and previews.
Saves full-size images from thumbnails with duplicate detection to avoid duplicates.
Keyword tagging and preservation of the original image source link to aid organization.
Easy export or sharing to Photo Library or other apps.
User-friendly across iPhone and iPad with intuitive controls.

Cons

Frequent freezes/hangs during saves or exports, especially with large batches or sharing flows.
Perceived lack of ongoing updates/maintenance, with concerns about the developer's activity.

Recent reviews

There is no other app in the entire App Store that has this fast bulk saving of images like this app. There may be little quirks here and there. Being able to view all the images on a page in grid format, then being able to click into them, showing large previews and the important image info like image dimensions, image link, etc is just great. The only problem now, is since google changed their reverse image search functionality, the reverse image button doesn’t do anything. I hope the developer comes back and fixes these issues.

The app is working just fine, however, saving bookmarks isn’t working and causing the app to freeze and become unusable. 13.4 iOS in XSmax.

As other’s have said the app hangs when saving a picture using the new share menu for iOS13. You can still save the pictures to the app library quickly and easily. There is a work around to the app hanging when trying to save the pictures to your camera app. When the share menu comes up giving you the option to save an image. Switch apps to another one (do not close this one) > then immediately switch back to this app. The menu should have closed, if not quickly swipe down. If it did not fully close you will have to repeat the switch out of app step. This also works for any of the other hangs and freezes for certain features. Increasing the amount of cache memory in the settings also allowed me to export my in app photo library to iTunes. Although usually it just crashes mid export. I wish the owner would have sold the app to another developer if he was going to give up on it. However, I am glad that it can still be used. The only app I have seen with picture saving functionality done the right way. Even vs PC applications this app wins.
