I have 2 apartment complex to scan but want to make sure I’m satisfied ### 3/5 — Okay, every time I try to leave a review about this it messes up when I’m texting and submits it? *2025-02-16* I’m not sure if this is a phone problem anymore or a problem with your app, but you can remove this review. If someone responds to me about why your prompts aren’t working. This app is not updated to work well with the Apple because I keep hitting, but that it won’t acknowledge about doing the software update for Travel, allowing it to use cell data is like touching is still framed photo literally it does absolutely nothing and I have no idea if it’s going to work but I’m really more concerned now about my phone being hacked or this app being a little bit on the Microsoft wonky side and Not qualified for iPhone iOS updates because it just does not respond like it used to and it’s gotten worse love this app it save my life but come on guys like why is this so difficult? I can’t even leave a review without my phone getting weird about it. It needs to have responses at work when I touch “proceed” trying to allow download and it needs to have reactions as well when I try to recover my account I mean I seriously paid for this. This is ridiculous. You can remove this system. Someone can help me because if this is a problem with my phone that’s possible but I really doubt it at this point. Please make sure everything is set to work at the highest standard because I do remember this app worked way better and I’ve reinstalled it still a mess these days worse than I ever remember. And if you see my other review, I don’t know what’s up with this but it started typing things I wasn’t saying and closed on me ### 3/5 — Confused *2025-02-08, version 4.7.4* I don’t know if I did something wrong but it detected 3 smoke alarms when I photographed my floor 2 when I took a picture of the wall ### 2/5 — Upgrade *2023-05-12, version 3.7.9* Just upgraded and now it keeps booting me out. Paying for an upgraded version but getting a version less user friendly than the original….🤨 ### 2/5 — Cannot identify common household objects *2023-01-02, version 3.7.1* It is nice to see an app that allows you to check to see if it functions without asking for a credit card *first* which gets the app a couple of stars right there. So far, I have checked two items. The first, a standard ceiling light, seen in every residence in the Western Hemisphere, cannot be identified by this app. I cannot recall if I had these in Hong Kong-thought I did which really begs the question, if they are truly ubiquitous, why does this app not id them? Also it doesn’t id a stereo, just boom boxes. Stereos are arguably more common. The app doesn’t have a category for either of these on its list. If I find something it does identify, I will change the rating. ### 5/5 — A wise owl! *2022-11-28, version 3.7.1* My landlord keeps installing ‘necessary’ devices in my apartment. It makes me uncomfortable and insecure. I find this app does its thing and detects the item I was checking. A very wise owl indeed. ### 5/5 — Apt owner spying on me without my permission *2022-10-21, version 3.6.3* When my IP friend told me about if I feel I’m being watched he showed me this app a what to our surprise so we are to report to the police on Saturday and then call our Attorney General of the city and tell them my landlord is spying on us.. so here we go.. my privacy has been gone we have materials over them we have so far 12 mini spy cameras and dozens of listening devices.. unbelievable.. great app get the advanced version is the one you want and we are going to court and not small claims court ### 5/5 — Carol *2022-08-31, version 3.4.3* I Loved It ! And It Works Great !! I Recommend It To All !!! However My Husband Henry aka Hank Petrie, Ault/Ft.Collins Colorado. Just Found Out He Has Been Framing Me. It's ALL BULLSH*T LIES ! But Yeah ! I Found his little cameras, Sensors,Recording Me Without My Knowledge for 2+yrs. !! And Sharing Them Along With Access To My Cloud accts, My Photo Library ect... He Started Planning When I ask for a Divorce in 2018 to current ! Finally Getting some answers after Spending an Enormous amount of time (yrs.) trying to figure out what He's Been With My Life. After all, It My Life He's Been Stealing !! ### 5/5 — WOW *2022-03-15, version 3.4.3* This App in my opinion is by far looking out for us. THE PEOPLE WHG ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTED BUT BIG BROTHER RULES AND WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. ### 5/5 — DeviceOwl *2022-02-04, version 2.1.2* Pretty good app so far ### 3/5 — Not too bad *2021-12-29, version 2.1.2* There are many cameras in my house,I can hear my druggie neighbours reactions, just haven’t found any as yet ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2024-08-14, version 4.7.2* Doesn’t work and wants you to download a different app ### 1/5 — This app is horrible! Requesting refund! *2024-08-09, version 4.7.2* Refund please ### 1/5 — Big wast of money *2024-05-16, version 4.5.3* 🤮 ### 1/5 — Unfortunate *2023-03-13, version 3.7.5* I purchased the app and paid for the “Advanced Version”. Not a bunch of money but the app doesn’t allow for any object not on the list. Plus, if you’re not in about a foot of the device, it cannot check it. Finally, when you have a huge unit like a computer or air conditioner face, the camera sensor doesn’t allow for expansion to get the whole unit. I tried a Wi-Fi unit, a fire alarm, and the app didn’t recognize either. Sadly, beside the monetary loss, I have to look elsewhere for a device that works. Good luck. ### 1/5 — Tried to go by appearance of devices🤨 *2022-11-21, version 3.7.1* Uses camera to try to go by the appearance of devices, if real or not supposedly. Also instantly went to taking up too much memory. ### 1/5 — Feel had *2022-11-21, version 3.7.1* Not working ### 1/5 — Does NOTHING. USELESS. *2022-01-18, version 2.1.2* Cant ever get it to even scan anything! And I did everything necessary to try to get this to function: gave it/allowed access to my iPhone camera, updated the consumer device knowledge base, etc., but then, every time I attempt to scan any devices it just pops up another message saying it needs to update the device knowledge base. So don’t download this app unless you’re looking to waste a bunch of time n effort going around n around in a vicious loop of futile finger tappings. ### 1/5 — False claims *2021-12-25, version 2.1.2* This starts off telling you basic is free. Then every time you attempt use it refers you to payment page. ### 1/5 — Brutal *2021-12-04, version 2.1.2* Terrible app ### 1/5 — THEY WANT YO MONEY *2021-06-23, version 2.1.1* They won’t let you scan the room until you pay for the subscription ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best *2026-01-01, version 4.8.4* Awesome results VERY ACCURATE! ### 5/5 — A Must Have App *2025-08-31, version 4.8.4* Can’t believe this app is Free! Found so many hidden devices like motion sensors, video and audio. The upgrade is cheap too. Definitely 5⭐️’s ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-11-22, version 4.7.4* This app is awesome. I love it! 🤩It has not been wrong so far! 10 ⭐️’s ### 5/5 — Travel buddy *2024-08-22, version 4.7.2* I started to travel more often post-Covid. I found the detection gets better and showed me more stuff. When it spots something weird, then I can take action to prevent being recorded. Ty ! my travel buddy ^^ ### 5/5 — Excelente *2024-07-30* Excelente ### 5/5 — Wise bird ! *2024-05-20, version 4.5.3* Firstly, I thought it was just another app that bluffed. However, I was sold when it detected my smoke alarm and showed me the brand and its functionality that I wasn't aware of. Good job! ### 5/5 — Exceptional Accurate tracking *2023-06-14* Recommend monitoring and tracking suspected cheating wife and activities at work. However some great app couldn’t grant all access I needed to detect and catch my wife red handed in her deceptive ways. It all started when I had a suspicion on her with some recently inherited behavior like staying out late nights after work, being clingy to her phones and so on. I came to the internet to find a lasting solution to solve my marital problems. Thank God, faz came my way after checking through positive reviews , how he helped a woman catch her cheating husband red handed. I reached him via his mail at Flashcyberspy (@) gmailcom and he requested for certain info such as my spouses phone number and phone model. Within hrs I got a notification popped up on my phone it was from Faz. he gave me a spy link which I accessed with my phone web browser there I was able to see all of his texts, call logs, WhatsApp, Snapchat, deleted conversation, social media shared pictures and videos etc as if I got her phone in my palms. It’s really a great opportunity to use the services of Flashcyberspy (@) gmailcom, if you got similar issues right now I’ll strongly advice you write him for an excellent spying and tracking services. This is the most highly recommended and genuine services that works efficiently than the spy apps. You can tex him on at (plus one eight five six five seven five one zero seven nine). Very awesome. ### 5/5 — Hidden device *2023-04-18, version 3.7.9* Got me very much interesting things about this app cause for myself I think it works perfectly ### 5/5 — addicted to it! *2023-03-21* I used it when I stayed at AirBnB thought it was only time I would use it. Then I found it kept adding new stuff so it became my habit to update the app and scan devices when I went to public places. 9.99 got unlimited updates sounds a bargain. ### 5/5 — Best app ever! Completely accurate! *2023-01-29, version 3.7.1* Best app I’ve ever used! It has detected multiple items! I give it 99.999999% trust! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
