We all know the feeling when we have way too many photos in our phone and are either not getting the time to delete them or are feeling too lazy to do so. In our rush to capture moments of our lives, we end up with thousands of pictures and limited storage space. The cute puppy that fell asleep in your lap, the beautiful rainbow that adorned the sky after a heavy downpour, or just a simple cup of coffee that was steaming temptingly on a cold morning. With the advent of smartphones, we do not think twice before whipping our phones out and clicking a picture. This results in our phones being packed with photographs, and after some time, most of these photos are ripe enough for the trash bin.

To delete the photos, you had to manually scroll through the photos you have clicked and select the photos you want to delete, one by one.

Clean app offers a solution to this problem. It helps you delete old photos by making it a less cumbersome task. It is like Tinder — just that you are swiping through unwanted photos to clear out your phone. It is simple to use. You just have to swipe down to delete a photo or swipe up to keep it.

The app is a neat way of simplifying the boring task of deleting photos, and it is something all of us do. Its interface is simple and easy to understand. It, however, has one disadvantage; you cannot go back and delete photos again until you have clicked new ones.

This is frustrating, especially if you decide there are more photos you want to delete from an old batch and want to go back. Currently, it is available only for iOS devices. That being said, it is a nice way of making something terribly arduous easier.

The app is developed by Yoovi Labs Ltd and can be downloaded from the URL https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id923330859
