Picnic: Photo Organiser 4+

Anyone else have 7,226 pics of their cat? How about 2,746 screenshots of things you needed to send once but failed to delete it at the time? Or—my personal favorite—the 837 screenshots of your car navigation from screenshotting something on your phone while Apple CarPlay is running?

Well this little app works GREAT for just chipping away. I’ve cleared out about 6% of the dupes and screenshots but that’s wayyyyy more than I’ve ever accomplished on my own. Well worth the annual $$ (seriously, k was on the verge of having to up my storage which equals more than the cost of the app.

Added bonus: it’s a fun trip down memory lane every day and I’ve reconnected with some folks sharing old pics I found from prior!

As a mom, even thinking of the amount of pictures I carry in my phone is daunting. This app is great because it encourages me to sort through my library just a little bit at a time. The daily streak feature is helpful because even if it’s a busy day, I can take 60 seconds to sort through a small section of my photo library. Small obtainable goals eventually equal large chunks of space I get back from deleting the extra pictures I don’t need anymore. Highly recommended for anyone who might feel overwhelmed by the task of sorting their photos.

This app really turns photo organization into a more scrolling / social media consumption adjacent activity. That has helped me because a large portion of my gallery is just stuff I saved from the web so - it has been nearly as easy as saving all of that was in the first place.

I think though I regret signing up for a year because I was able to organize 30,000 items in my gallery down to like 17,000 in a matter of like 10 days. And I just adore how quickly I could add photos to different folders.

I have only good things to say for the people who created such a brilliant idea!

I think my biggest criticism is the marketing - I remember being extremely bothered by the dismissive attitude toward privacy concerns that was displayed in a few of the advertisements I saw. That felt very anti-consumer and kind of bizarre for a younger brand to not be more cognizant.

In the end, I still used and enjoy the app but I hesitated greatly seeing some other zoomer telling me how I shouldn’t be concerned about a tech company having access to my personal data…

But that being said the app works so
