Ollie: AI Smart Photo Cleaner

Thanks to Ollie my storage is better yay

A user friendly tool for regulating constant photography.

Another reviewer mentioned hash, an app that detects duplicate photos based on some threshold you can set. I see ollie and hash as orthogonal -- hash should clean up photos that are near duplicate, whereas ollie should help you sort your photos into meaningful categories. Unfortunately, you really only have two categories: favorite and keep, with the third option being delete. Additionally, without seeing how effective the "ai" component becomes, and, given how ineffective it seems to be right now (day 2), i'd argue this app needs some serious tweaks to become a useful tool. That said, the user interface is nice and on my phone, an iphone 15 pro max, it runs smoothly.

For an AI program that isn’t likely to provide many updates or improvements, I don’t see why it has a subscription. I would prefer either a free option with adds or allowing users to do a one time purchase to access all features. Otherwise it has simplified my photo clean up significantly. I run a meme page on instagram and have a lot of videos and memes that I don’t really need clogging up my phone making it hard to sort and find photos that I want to show people. This format makes it less taxing to go through and clean everything up, and offers a sorting function in app, which is nice.

This is a cool app. It’s easy to use. It looks great. It’s very intuitive. It does a great job. Unfortunately, for me, on iPhone 14 Pro Max with the current iOS version, this app heats my phone up hotter than it’s ever been. I feel bad rating it this low, but I’m not able to use the app beyond 5 mins before I have to stop and wait for the phone to cool down. — update — Someone from the company responded. The app runs much cooler now. It’s a great and easy way to free up space. I have 90,000+ photos and videos from over 24 years of photography. This app is perfect for this situation. Thanks.

10 years after the iPad revolution established the clear advantages of the wider screen space for tailored interfaces, and we get a ridiculously narrow, phone app as the only option? Unacceptable. The ai made poor choices, and in such a tiny space you can’t even clearly choose with album you want it to work on or see the images clearly because of how small they are. Canceled my free trial, it was that bad.

This app has made it funner and easier to delete photos. I’ve gone through a lot of apps that deleted photos and I didn’t really those apps, but when I found Ollie, I loved it

Wanted to like it with the ad saying ai did the work but still have to review individually whereas Hash groups them into exactly the same, similar, etc for me to review. This app is no different than going through each of my photos directly in photos and choosing to favorite or trash/keep. Not willing to go past the three day mark to see if actually does learn my preferences and still personally would want to review before it was permanently deleted so for me it didn’t work. Additionally I am so tired of everything becoming a subscription cost I would rather support apps that charge a one time fee, doubtful The tech companies will get the message as I’m sure they get enough subscriptions to make it worth their while to continue to try and force that model but I am willing to go without most any of them rather than pay a monthly/yearly fee.

I never write reviews but had to for this app. It is a must have!

But then it became extremely frustrating. When I would change a photo from keep to trash it would switch around the order of the pics and I couldn’t just go in order one by one. I don’t understand what happened, but it’s made the app not useful too me anymore.
