Comments on Photo Compare for Android

★★★★★ Angie Waszkiewicz · Nov 16, 2024

Does exactly what it's supposed to do. A rarity these days! Thanks for making this!

★★★★★ Erick Folckemer · Jul 1, 2025

Does exactly what it says and is simple to use. Having a grid to help align each photo would be nice. Also, would be a cool feature to have a mode to be able to "flip" between photos full screen (see photo A, and when you touch the screen you see photo B).

★★★★★ Mark Balazo · Dec 30, 2023

Brilliant app! It does what it's supposed to, compare images and the sync pan and Zoom is a welcome feature.

★★★★★ Shubham Meena · Oct 21, 2023

Great app to compare 2 photos side by side. I personally use it to compare shots from either 2 phones or 2 different GCams from the same phone.

★☆☆☆☆ justin clapp · Jul 30, 2021

Limited access to files. I want to access and compare images from a number of sources. This app only seems able to access local files. I can see no way to access files on my Google Drive or Google photos.

★★☆☆☆ movahhed rezaee · May 22, 2023

I will give it 5 star if only you could fix the slow reload while having a lot of photo in one folder. For my case it takes full 1 minutes to load 12k images that I have in my folder. Also refreshing in the current folder should be added. Every time I take a picture then I go to the app I have to go back to main screen and reload so new pictures appear. Also, please add file size at the end of exif Thank you <3

The app does not provide a way to search for & select a folder or images by name, so as is, it is not useful for me
