1. 5/5Best thing I’ve used in years

   I always had a cluttered photo album for years. Thousands of pictures and videos and it took me days and sometimes weeks to fully finish it (sometimes I just gave up on it since it was overwhelming) for the first time I’ve managed to delete/organize my pics/videos in 2 days. The app makes it so much faster and it automatically makes different “albums” for you to sort your pics/videos into different categories (you can make as many albums as you want) I went from almost 5,000 pictures and 775 videos to 1,996 pictures and 407 videos in only 2 days and I plan on deleting even more in the next few days (I’ve had as much as 10,000 pictures and that was pain to do before this app.) I wasn’t paid to say any of this or make this review, I’m making this on my own accord. But I will say that there is a “premium” version that has “all the features” and you aren’t required to buy it but I noticed ads were coming along, premium is only $8 and it is available to you forever if you decide to pay that (it’s not a monthly thing, only one time payment. I find the premium thing kinda dumb but 🤷🏻‍♀️) but you don’t have to pay for it, you just watch a lot of ads. Other than that, this app was TREMENDOUSLY helpful because I’ve had this issue since my first 4s (basically for the last 9 years) and I will definitely be using it more in the future.

2. 5/5Wish i known about the hidden feature below, but this app is exactly what i’ve always needed

   It took me 9 total hours spread over 2 days to organize 21,000 photos down to 6,000 in near albums. Some of that time was spent in nostalgia, which made it a sweet process (unlike manual camera roll purges in the past that made me want to bang my head into the wall). I’m so pleased with the $10 investment to get the premium version of this app. My thumb sure hurts now from all the swiping but the app is pleasant to use and super intuitive, although a quick training highlight that covered the more nuanced features would have been nice, for example: i’m probably going to go back through all my albums and delete another few hundred, because you couldn’t swipe to trash anything in the app that was already in your camera roll’s favorites (which is a thoughtful security feature, but i had a lot of irrelevant stuff favorited from past editing & didn’t want to stop and “unheart” them manually). i discovered after i was totally done organizing however, that the app could actually override/remove the heart from the favorite photos in one tap, which i really which i had done to begin with! This app has given me the gift of actually using & referencing my photos, and I thank you for that- I wouldn’t have changed a thing about the user experience.

3. 5/5Fantastic App

   This is a really basic app without a ton of bells and whistles, but it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Sorting photos into albums in the native Photos app on iOS was really irritating and time-consuming. This app makes it super easy—it shows you all of your unsorted photos one by one and you simply click the name of the album you want to put them in. Want to delete it? Just swipe up? Can’t figure out what to do with it yet? Just swipe left and it’ll hang out in unsorted photos until you do. You can also pin albums you use most frequently to the top of the list. You can also view and edit your albums on a different screen, allowing you to easily move photos into different albums or file one photo into multiple albums at the same time. For mass deletion of photos, I still use the iOS app. Unless there’s a feature I’m missing, which is entirely possible, deleting more than one photo in this app is a bit tedious. At any rate, I sometimes have to take hundreds of pictures in a day and was absolutely losing my mind until I found this app. Thank you!

4. 1/5Updated version is horrible! 7/3/25 Has gotten even WORSE!!

   This app used to be so streamlined and easy to use - I’ve used it for years and have recommended it to countless others. But this latest version has ruined that. Not only is it pointless to have the “choose which photos you’d like to organize by specific months!” Option when ALL photos need to be/will be sorted, regardless of what month they were taken, but worst of all, I’ve LOST huge amounts of photos from my Slidebox folders since the update! They’re GONE! They’re still in my camera roll on my phone, but they don’t even appear in the “unorganized” category on the app (and not even the month they were taken is in available as an option!). Why did the developers try to fix something that wasn’t broken?? PLEASE bring back the old version!! It worked perfectly!!! 7/3/25 - They fixed everything briefly, but now, after the last few rounds of updates, it’s gotten even worse. All my folders used to be arranged alphabetically - now, they’ve taken about half of them, randomly, and put them all at the end of the remaining, completely out of order!!! And not only can you sort them alphabetically again, you can’t even ACCESS them to put photos into!!!! They’re just grayed out!! On top of that, photos I already sorted and files three weeks ago showed up back in my Unorganized Photos today, and every time I resort them, close the app, and reopen it, they’re BACK in the Unsorted!! I’m ready to ditch Slidebox and find another app. QUIT MESSING AROUND WITH SOMETHING THAT WAS ALREADY WORKING FINE!!!!

5. 4/5Simple yet brilliant photo organizer only missing the videos

   This app is truly brilliant for organizing photos. I’ve categorized my albums into four folders: personal, professional, educational, and financial. The app recognizes photos not assigned to albums and prompts the user to sort them. I hope Apple recognizes this amazing feature. I’ve always organize my photos into albums, but it’s been difficult to track them in the photo libraries. The app’s idea closely resembles that of an email application: similar to moving an email to a mailbox to clear it from the inbox, Slidebox guarantees a meticulously organized media library, simplifying photo retrieval. I’ve been searching for something like this for years. Apple should consider integrating this feature across all their apps, like Files, iBooks, Photos, Notes, and Freeform. The app’s drawback is its focus solely on photo sorting. My disappointment arose after meticulously organizing my library, only to discover that videos remained unsorted. I even searched for “Slidebox for videos” on Google, but found no results. In conclusion, this app is both simple and brilliant. It deserves a 5-star rating if it expands its sorting capabilities to include videos.
