The lifetime unlock for Photo Cleaner+, an iPhone app that finds duplicate photos, screenshots and large videos, is showing a price of $0.00 on its App Store listing. New Mobile Life, a Hong Kong site that tracks free app offers, reports that the lifetime option normally costs US $39.99 and is free for a limited time.
Neither the App Store listing nor New Mobile Life gives an end date, so the offer can disappear without notice. The app is listed as Phone Storage Space Cleaner+ and from the developer Premium Apps+.
What does Photo Cleaner+ do?
According to the listing, the app is for iPhones that are running out of room. A Smart Scan shows what is using space and sorts it by how much you would get back. The listed tools are:
- Duplicate Photo Finder for identical and near-identical shots
- Similar and blurry photo cleanup
- Large Files and Videos, sorted by size
- Screenshot Cleanup
- Cache and Junk Cleaner for leftover app clutter
- One-Tap Clean once you have chosen what to remove
The listing says nothing is deleted without your confirmation, you review every item first, and the scan runs on your device. The developer pitches it at people who shoot 4K video, install large apps and want room for iOS updates.

Prices
The app is free to download, with in-app purchases. The listing shows three: Lifetime at $0.00, Weekly at $4.99 and Yearly at $19.99. The listing does not name a storefront or a country, so check what your own App Store shows. New Mobile Life gives the usual lifetime price as US $39.99 and says the offer is for a limited time. The listing and the article give no end date.
The catch is the paywall. New Mobile Life says that after the first launch you will see a paywall, and that you should take the Lifetime option only if it shows $0. If any other price appears, the article says the offer is over and you should not confirm payment. The listing also warns that subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
How do you get it?
- Open the app’s App Store page on an iPhone and download it.
- Launch it and complete the first setup screens.
- On the paywall, look at the Lifetime option. Continue only if it says $0.00 or $0.
- If the Weekly or Yearly option is the only one highlighted, close the screen instead of confirming.
Who it suits
Heavy photo and video shooters. If your camera roll holds many bursts, screenshots and long clips, the size-sorted lists give a fast way to see what is worth deleting. The tool shows previews and sizes before anything is removed.
People who keep seeing “Storage Full”. The developer positions the app for that alert and for making space ahead of an iOS update. Whether it frees gigabytes on your phone depends on how much duplicate content you hold.
Anyone cautious about privacy. The developer lists data that may be collected but not linked to you, including Contacts and Photos or Videos, and says the information has not been verified by Apple. Read the privacy section on the listing and decide before you allow photo access.
People who prefer to avoid paid tiers. If the lifetime price shows $0.00, you avoid the Weekly and Yearly plans. If it does not, the plans cost real money and renew automatically.
What is still unknown?
No source says when the free lifetime offer ends or in which countries it applies. One reviewer reported in June that complimentary Premium access did not work for them. The developer replied that the issue was fixed and asked the user to check again, so test it on your own phone. The listing itself does not describe the free lifetime offer, which comes from New Mobile Life.
Next step
Open the App Store page, tap through to the paywall, and confirm the Lifetime price reads $0.00 before you tap anything. Review the privacy section on the listing before you give the app access to your photos.
