"Probably saved me hundreds of dollars and kept me from wasting time with a person who was trying to scam me by impersonating someone else. Highly recommend if you’re doing online dating."
- SculptorSteve

"I currently have long hair and a beard but the algorithm managed to find pictures of me online when I used to have short hair and no beard. This is crazy!"

### 1/5 — He complete scam!

*2026-08-08*

This app is a complete scam. It’s just a money grabbed snatch $10 from you before you cancel. I tried 10 different clear facial photos, including my own with a substantial online presence and it failed 100% of the time to find any valid information whatsoever. Save your money and don’t get scammed.

### 5/5 — Great app for independent investigation into the people I meet

*2026-08-05*

I like this app for doing simple background checks whenever I go on a date with a gal or something and what not. Wish it was like clearview AI that law enforcement uses but I can’t get access to it yet. But whoever came up with this app did a great job creating it. Worth my money and time to look snd do quick searches. Doesn’t always work for everyone though but does a good job. Thanks for a great app for facial recognition I to social media apps and or mugshots. And I am glad I did because I found some bad girls who were law violators who hid stuff from me. So thanks to the team behind this app. Keep up the great work and hopefully you can do another update.

**Developer response:** We're very glad it's helped you date safely. Thank you for the kind review!

### 5/5 — Best App

*2026-07-09*

Works way better than every other app I’ve tried. Don’t waste you time with other apps!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much, we're glad it helped.

### 1/5 — Ganz schlechte App

*2026-07-01*

Das kostet mehr als wenn du im Internet die Suche bezahlst . Lohnt sich nicht für dich die Zeitverschwendung hab ich für dich übernommen . Kann nicht mal sagen ob das funktioniert hat . Viel zu teuer

**Developer response:** Es ist wirklich nicht so teuer. Maximal kostet es 7,99 € für fünf Suchen. Das ist weniger als ein Döner, den man sich nach einer betrunkenen Nacht kauft, ohne überhaupt darüber nachzudenken.
