I didn’t need it to tell me the object is a toy, book, etc ### 1/5 — terrible experience *2020-01-02, version 1.3* not accurate at all with very poor search results. very disappointing! do not recommend ### 1/5 — Keep trying *2019-11-17, version 1.3* I tried 5 items and it didn’t get any of them...well it knew a book was a book but not where to find that book. The app listed a clothing store for an old history book. A Ohio State blanket was a “towel”. A McCormick sea salt grinder was “coffee”. That should have been an easy one. It had the name and brand right on it. ...And a back scratcher was a “wrench”. I love the concept but this app was not useful at all. ### 1/5 — Awful *2019-11-07, version 1.3* Thought my tipex was a watermelon ### 1/5 — Horrible!!!! *2019-11-06, version 1.3* Doesnt ever get the item correct that im trying to identify.. not very informative at all. ### 1/5 — Really bad *2019-09-10, version 1.3* Really bad ### 1/5 — privacy settings *2019-06-15, version 1.3* Unable to change privacy settings ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-06-10, version 1.3* This is is so useless it thinks a forklift is a car and and the blue roll paper tissue is toilet paper ;D :D ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-06-02, version 1.3* Took a picture of flower I planted and forgot to label. First time it said it was the McDonald’s arches. Second time it said it was the NBC logo. Well Done! ### 2/5 — Need some more work *2019-05-26, version 1.3* Only identifies objects at a rather generic level, and even at that the accuracy is very poor. I’ll be deleting this one and continue looking for something better. ### 1/5 — Spy Eye *2019-05-01, version 1.3* Not worth the space on your phone. I took a picture, of a pringles regular potato chip can, with the title “Pringles” visable, and also the bar code tag, to test it. It told me it was Orange Soda. 2nd picture it said it was soda. I took a picture of “Daily Greens” dog vitamins, in a bottle, and it told me it was cough drops. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2019-04-11, version 1.3* Not even close! ### 1/5 — Very great concept *2019-01-09, version 1.3* Unfortunately it wasn’t very accurate! Hope the developers continue to improve this app! I’m using a iPhone ### 1/5 — Eye spy *2019-01-03, version 1.3* Not very good, they just take a guess at what the image is, 9 out of the 10 things were wrong. ### 1/5 — Offensive *2018-08-18, version 1.2.8* It called me an Orphan ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Off line again? *2022-07-16, version 2.0.5* I can never post anything ☹️ ### 1/5 — DOSENT WORK *2021-04-06, version 2.0.2* So I was trying to figure out what kind of Fitbit I had and it was so off it didn’t even get Fitbit. One of the guesses was a cigar lighter like what the heck! ### 1/5 — Worthless *2020-08-06, version 1.3* Thank idenI had a picture of a digital fuse meter for vehicles and the app could not identify it then I used a picture of a laser level andit doesn’t identify that ### 1/5 — Is this app a joke? *2020-06-11, version 1.3* I am trying to identify a piece of furniture. It guessed a fireplace and a court. Not even close. So I tried a plastic grey cup and it insisted it was a plant. ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-05-27, version 1.3* 👎👎👎👎👎 only certain number of searches 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👊🏻! ### 1/5 — Is Wrong Always *2020-04-29, version 1.3* I took a picture of my hand and it identified it as the McDonalds Logo. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2020-04-13, version 1.3* The piece of garbage doesn’t even work I tested it out on something I new and nothing shows up 1 star ### 1/5 — Yeahhhh no *2020-03-21, version 1.3* Yeah so this app thinks I’m stupid. It needs to be more specific. I put a motorcycle wanting to know what kind or whatever but guess what it said it was a motorcycle 🤯. I thought it was a washing machine at first. ### 1/5 — Amy *2020-03-18, version 1.3* Took a picture of an old Chevy emblem. Wanted to know what it came off of. App kept saying it was a Swastika. WAY OFF ### 1/5 — Nope *2020-03-08, version 1.3* Could not identify a person place or thing! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Worked better than expected *2025-02-10, version 2.0.6* Tried it on several items (cars, flowers, dogs) and it got them all correct. Impressed ### 5/5 — this is too funny *2021-07-12, version 2.0.3* 😂😂😂 this app is so stupid i love it it called a german shepherd a newfie lollll ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2019-06-15, version 1.3* Makes me laugh how it gets most stuff wrong. It seems to think most stuff is a Vodafone logo. ### 5/5 — Works pretty well for me *2018-08-10, version 1.2.8* Lol that guy with the 0 stars sounds like he’d be fun at parties. It got 9 out of 10 things right for me. Correctly said my shoes were ASICS gel Kayano, identified my dog Terry as a Jack Russel, and even named the title of the Monet print on the wall. It thought that my eye glasses were a stethoscope but other than that it did a pretty good job if you ask me. You need to make sure you use the function to narrow the image to just the object only for best results. ### 5/5 — Does the job *2018-07-06, version 1.2.8* I never knew there was an app for this stuff, it is like a hobby for me to buy something I see outside. Spyeye does the job for me. ### 5/5 — Spectacular app *2018-07-06, version 1.2.8* Not only the shows all the prices of the product but all so different place and related items too. It is a spectacular app. ### 5/5 — Ideal for women *2018-07-06, version 1.2.8* This is the ideal app for women, they love to have something beautiful they see outside and with this app, they can buy anything that they see. ### 5/5 — Decorate the house *2018-07-06, version 1.2.8* My wife uses this app all the time, whenever we go to our relation's place, she takes pictures of everything and buys them to decorate the house. ### 5/5 — Dream come true *2018-07-06, version 1.2.8* This app is a dream come true for me, it allows me to take pictures of something that I don't have and buy it somewhere cheaper. ### 5/5 — Its mine too *2018-07-05, version 1.2.8* Whenever I see something that I really need in my house too, I open this app, take pictures and that's it. I can have it at my house too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
