What people say about Sponge
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 don’t think I’ve ever left a review for an app before, but I can’t fault Sponge at all or recommend it enough. It’s well worth the one-off pocket-change payment to get premium access, there’s no ads, it makes sorting through thousands of photos and screengrabs nuch less daunting, the interface is pleasant and simple…I’ve replaced my scrolling habit with using Sponge, finding it to be both enjoyable and productive. I’ll definitely be using it more regularly to keep on top of my gallery.
a fantastic Idea and the perfect thing I was seeking for. I have over 20k unsorted images from various places and it was a hassle to clean, but this app made it a breeze. I could do it at my own pace, stop whenever, and have my progress saved. it’s perfect.
The app is quite convenient. In a week I cleaned up my entire gallery for the last 4 years, I definitely recommend it. A separate plus was that it shows what percentage of photos have already been reviewed.
