Comments on mediaScanner — Simple scanner for Android

★★★★★ Михаил Мирзабеков · Feb 3, 2025
Thank you so much for this. My UFS2.1 memory began to degrade, and after a hard cleaning, the Android media scanner broke, which is why Telegram etc social apps did not see any media (just a "null" folder with all the photos and the date 1970). Your app has helped me a lot, thank you <33
★★★★★ Tomás Crespo García · Aug 2, 2024
Great app, but please, add an option to res can every x minutes
★★★★☆ Alex Feldman · Apr 27, 2024
This is a pretty good app. I like that it has a start scan on app start option. I wish it also had a built-in scheduler, like, scan every x seconds or minutes. I ended up using Tasker for that, but built in scheduler would be better.
★★☆☆☆ cheu wambel · Sep 4, 2023
This was a good app, but the latest update crashes in Ads App.get Instance (AdsApp.java:64) on my Pixel 5a.

Description by AWAiS Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
This is just a simple media scanner for users and developers who see empty blocks (placeholders) of deleted media files.

This app can scan the whole device (or selected paths) for media, when they don't show up in Gallery or social media apps..

You even can select more than 100k paths (unless your phone runs out of memory, and I wouldn't recommend it either)

So... there you go... use it...
and stay happy and enjoy the life. (Disclaimer: this statement does not apply to zombies)

Recent changes:
* Fixed auto-scan period too low (thanks to Alex Feldman for the feedback)
* Fixed some issues and improved a tiny bit of performance
