PicPop: making photo cleanup feel like swiping, rather than a chore

I'm PicPop's developer. I've been describing a photo-cleanup app like a list of features, when the useful bit is much simpler: You have too many photos. Swipe through a batch, keep what you like, review the extras, then confirm. When it detects look-alikes, you can choose the keepers together. That saves you from finding the same scene five more times further down your camera roll. Keep a few if you want; the suggestion isn't a final decision. That's the benefit I'm trying to show more clearly. If you're making an app too, which lands better for you: showing the messy starting point, or showing one complete keep/review/delete flow? For anyone with an iPhone camera roll to sort: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/picpop-photo-video-cleaner/id6808016560 Free download; paid Club for access. Eligible annual plan has a 2-week trial.

I'd show one complete keep/review/delete flow. “Phone full?” already makes the starting problem clear in your first screenshot. The bit I'd want to see next is how I avoid losing a photo I meant to keep. Your second image says “Clean it all in one tap,” but the description explains a review screen before confirmation. I'd show that review step right after the swipe screen, with “Nothing deleted until you confirm.” That would make the flow feel much easier to judge than another image of a messy camera roll.

Thanks for pointing out the gap between that headline and the flow. I'm PicPop's developer. In the current app, swiping left sets a photo aside for review; swiping right keeps it. You can undo a swipe, or bring a photo back from the review screen before confirming deletion. After confirmation, deleted photos go to iOS Recently Deleted, where they can be recovered for 30 days. Showing a mistaken swipe, bringing that photo back, then confirming the remaining extras would make those safeguards much clearer. The final review still matters; detection can miss photos.
