Gemini 2: The Duplicate Finder for Android

I ran it maybe 6 times consecutively immediately after I registered for the 3-day trial. I thiought 1 pass would find all the duplicates: not so. I had to run it again and again, with the app always fining 'more'. THEN: After just stopping with exhaustion I was looking for a photo and notoiced that there were 3 copies of the photo I was looking for on my hard drive (not in Android's Photos file): why didn't the app find these ? Aside from it not working there is a feature it should have . . . in my case many duplicates were i n a single folder . . . the app should have an option to delete all duplicates found in "folder xxx"

Bought this through app store. Worked great. Two months ago they pushed an "update"... hasn't been able to restore previous purchases since. I have a year subscription and only get to use it for 9-10 months i guess. If you are going to buy anything from MacPaw just do it direct. I have had issues with other programs of theirs and even tho it was a recurring issue, they at least dealt with it there. Buying here you have no recourse and are just stuck without your software. I have GOT to get this working and now I have to pay for it AGAIN to buy off the site to get a full version even tho I already own a subscription for it! Frustrating. Seems all the bugs with MacPaws products have to do with regisration and subscriptions so be aware it won't always work when you need it to and you might have to wait a few days to get any response back.

I started using Gemini 2 because I have a huge mess of photos and videos that have accumulated over the years that I'm sorting. Other apps were such a pain that I had decided just to do it manually until I looked into Gemini 2. The feature that I love the most is that you can perform a scan once, begin to delete files, take a break or close the app entirely, and then reopen it and basically just pick up where you left off. I have thousands of files in the scans that I've done and haven't had the app crash or experience any issues. My biggest critique is that I wish there was a way to quickly tell Gemini 2 to disregard. The app has the ability to disregard files and folders which is great. But it's a pain to have to enter them in manually. When going through the files after the scan, it would be nice to have a box to check to disregard the files or perhaps grey them out -- I have files that I need to be in multiple places or some of the similar files identified are definitely similar, but are still distinct and I need to have them.

I know there are lots of ducplicate in my Music and Photo library but the app didn't find them. My Google music library is on my laptop SSD and the photo directory is on an SD card.

Current version of the app is essentially useless without the steep yearly subscription. Moving along to another highly rated app, that offers the same price as a Buy Once & Own, not rental software.
