## Description

Metapho is a powerful EXIF metadata tool designed for photographers who want to manage image data with ease. It lets you view essential EXIF details, map locations, inspect raw metadata, and apply library filters like favorites or creation dates. Batch operations speed up edits across multiple items.

Editing features include Safe Share (removing geotags and personal data), date and location adjustments, in-place edits via the Files app, and multiple export options. It supports HEIC, DNG, CR2, NEF, Live Photos, and other formats, and works with iCloud Drive and shared folders.

## Review summary

Metapho is praised for quick, intuitive metadata editing and cross‑device usability, with a clean UI and good metadata visibility. However, the subscription model gating essential features, plus editing limitations (no IPTC edits, can't change original date) and lack of batch editing drive recurring criticism. Some users also cite price concerns and limited format support. Overall it’s strong for occasional cleanup on Mac and iOS, but the paid model and feature gaps deter infrequent users.

### Pros

- Quick and easy metadata editing and removal, especially for location data.
- Preserves file type and quality (saves photos without changing extension or compression).
- Works across Mac, iPhone, and iPad with a cohesive cross‑device experience.
- Clean, intuitive UI with comprehensive metadata display.
- Responsive developer support and timely bug fixes.

### Cons

- Features are gated behind a subscription, making key capabilities paywalled.
- Cannot edit IPTC tags; only supports limited edits like adjusting dates (not original date).
- Considered too expensive by some users and not worth the cost for infrequent use.
- No batch/multi‑edit support; editing is limited to single photos at a time.
- Limited format compatibility and occasional device/format issues (e.g., WebM support, GoPro GPS, occasional black screen).
