User Reviews for Sponge APP
I’m going to a concert, and I realized I had over 2,000 photos and videos. I tried another app to help me delete photos, but I had to watch an ad every 10 swipes. This app is like a miracle. I now only have around 900 photos and videos,and it only took me 2 days to delete all those photos. I’m giving it 4 stars because they should at least have it where you can delete a certain amount of videos for free. I can’t find an app that’s like this for videos, and unfortunately,I have to pay for it here

Works pretty well
I’ve been using this app for a little bit to clear my phone, and I’ve noticed after I clear out photos, they still aren’t really gone from my gallery, what do I do? I’m using Google photos
I would like to have an option to filter by media type if I want to review only pictures or only videos. An option to modify or remove the default text when sharing a picture of video would be nice as well, even if it’s restricted to the paid version.
Two things it needs: 1. To show duplicate (and similar) images. 2. To sync with Google Drive. Will pay for premium once those features are available. [g=shouqiang][g=shouqiang]
Tip: can you sync the Google accounts with their Google photos instead of the media available on device instead? It would be better since a lot of people make multiple Google accounts just to store more photos because of the 15gb limitation.
The app works really well and it’s the best I’ve found! But if you have as many files to delete as I do, then you’re out of luck. Because the app has been crashing repeatedly (no matter what I do to fix it), every time I try to delete 11,000+ images. Mind you, I’ve sat and scrolled through 30,000+ photos for HOURS and it won’t even delete anything anymore. This is app sucks if you’re doing a bulk cleaning. Update: Tried to finish the set of 37,135 and it still won’t delete 18,401 images 😐👍
Scree. is eay too busy and its only fun for about 5 minutes. Literally. Things cost way too much energy, and it takes way too long to reproduce, and there’s not many ways to get more without paying money. You wait an hour for it to refill, then spend all of it on half an item because the max is 50 but the item costs 92! I might keep playing for a bit to get paid from scrambly, but I’m not keeping it for long.
It’s an easy way to go thru photos to delete or keep. Videos are premium. It works well enough. Google photos (cloud) and device are two separate locations for the same files. Turn off photos sync for this to work. U still need to go thru google drive, thats on user.. Does it show motion photos?
Update one day later 13/2/2025: I’ve bought the one-time payment very affordable premium upgrade. I’m sure it will be just awesome, can’t wait to get rid of all the accumulated garbage in a fun way. I’ve found old photos I didn’t even know existed, thank you! Looking forward to all the future updates 🥰 //// Awesome app that makes the boring job of deleting photos much more enjoyable
Bought lifetime premium W devs
Useful app, but it feels like too much is behind the paywall. I totally understand the dev needs to make money, but currently it feels more like a limited preview of a paid app rather than a free app with premium options.
going through photos was always overwhelming, so I never did it. I could never keep track of where I was, and the swiping animation for thousands of pictures made my eyes hurt, plus the annoying delete feature just made me not do it. but now I find myself opening sponge instead of social media, and with it broken up into chunks I see quick progress. I’ve gone through 3 years this week. my storage is saved.
I installed the free version to help with the Sisyphean task of tidying my massive photo archive. It makes the process quick and easy. I often have long train journeys where I can get through thousands of photos in a stretch, but any time I have a few minutes, I can get some organising done. After a couple of days, I realised that it is exactly what I needed, so I happily upgraded. Worth every penny. I’ve been recommending it to everyone and describing it as Tindr but for your photos.
I didn’t expect to find an app so perfectly suited to my needs and nicely designed, it def makes it easier to go through tonnes of files although I feel like it’s hard to properly review it without having the premium version. Some of the limitations of free feel pretty artificial (did the option to hide checked/crossed out dates disappear?) Probably worth it later though.
one of the smartest app ideas ever. this app has changed how I organise my photos – for the better. it makes it so much easier to sort through the endless snaps, being able to choose only the ones I actually like. the paid upgrade is worth every penny, as being able to sort by album allows me to take as many photos as I please, and then just dump them into that trip folder, for example. then when I have free time next, I can efficiently sort through it. 10/10 recommend.
free version is amazing, would pay for premium down the line
works exactly as hoped
Could you link Google photos too?
Works exactly as intended, makes sorting through pictures much easier than going through the gallery! 10/10 honest 🙂
Great app, bought the premium feature right after deleting some pics and videos, the random feature is perfect and selects only the unwanted pics. i was dissapointed at the google photos part but I understand the limitations, a suggestion would be if it selects multiple similar pics would make it quicker to delete instead of one by one.
