### 4/5 — Gives me peace of mind

*2026-06-17, version 1.2.8*

Very helpful

### 1/5 — Does not work as advertised

*2026-06-01*

Purchased 5 credits (₹499) to search social media profiles by face. Ran a search on my own face — which has an active verified social media presence — and got zero relevant results. Only random unrelated images returned. Core functionality simply does not work. Complete waste of money.

**Developer response:** This depends entirely of if you're profile is public and has been indexed by our system. There are over 1.3 billion indexed faces. If you're not visible to AI search then that could be considered a good thing that your profile is private. So yes, it does work.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2026-05-31, version 1.2.8*

Don’t bother

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-30, version 1.2.8*

This application is a lie a scam. It says it’s free and then once you download it you find out you have to pay and the developer is very rude and offensive and hostile. Do your favor and avoid this at all cost.

### 1/5 — Credits

*2026-05-27, version 1.2.8*

Bought credits and it never registered to account. Scam.

### 1/5 — Terrible. After 10 tries zero matches

*2026-05-19, version 1.2.8*

Very bad. I tried it with 10 different images of people who I know and no recognition

### 1/5 — Mieser Betrug

*2026-05-19*

Man kauft für 9,99 10 coins… die Suchergebnisse passen überhaupt nicht! Dann ist 4 mal beim Laden die Warteschlange abgebrochen ohne Ergebnis und die coins wurden trotzdem gebucht.
Wirklich miese Betrugsmasche!

**Developer response:** Die Suche ist grundsätzlich ziemlich genau, aber wir können nicht garantieren, dass jede einzelne Person gefunden wird, insbesondere wenn sie nicht öffentlich online sichtbar ist oder nicht von unserem System indexiert wurde.

Dass die Warteschlange nicht funktioniert hat, hören wir zum ersten Mal. Bitte schreiben Sie uns an hi@doublecolourless.com, dann können wir Ihrem Konto 4 credits wieder gutschreiben, damit Sie es erneut versuchen können.

### 1/5 — Nulllll

*2026-05-15*

Nulllllll

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2026-04-24, version 1.2.7*

Might work for someone famous but definitely does not work for the average person, save your money

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-04-19, version 1.2.7*

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 1/5 — Facial recognition inefficace

*2026-07-28*

Aucune reconnaissance faciale trouvée sur plusieurs essais

### 1/5 — scammer

*2026-07-17, version 1.2.9*

Worst app on App Store

### 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.

### 1/5 — Scam - no credits after pay

*2026-06-30*

Do not get. 2 transactions and no credits.

**Developer response:** Since you're in India, you most likely have Ask to Buy on your device. This will not give you credits on the first purchase because there's a delay between when you purchase and when (if) the purchase is granted. Please contact us if you haven't already and we'll fix this! This will also be fixed for good in future releases.

### 1/5 — Horrible results!

*2026-06-28, version 1.2.8*

This was a waste of money and time. Literally showed me NO ONE i was looking up!

### 1/5 — Naja

*2026-06-19*

Trefferquote meist erst beim 20. Bild wenn überhaupt. Ausserdem ist man manchmal im Besitz von Tags die helfen könnten die Trefferquote zu erhöhen(zB Name) - diese Option gibt es aber nicht -> verschenkte Qualität der Treffer

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir werden prüfen, ob wir zusätzliche Angaben zur Suche hinzufügen können, um die Treffer genauer zu machen.

### 1/5 — App sucks

*2026-06-18, version 1.2.8*

App sucks, no where close to identifying the person I'm trying to ID

### 1/5 — Pas fiable

*2026-06-15*

J’ai tenté une recherche après avoir eu une offre pour 1 crédit. Les résultats n’avaient strictement rien à voir et bizarrement avec beaucoup de photos issues d’un pays en particulier.
Réponse aux développeurs : que la personne ne soit pas trouvée est une chose, mais les résultats donnés étaient très peu voire pas du tout ressemblants.

**Developer response:** On ne peut pas garantir qu’il trouvera tout le monde, surtout si la personne a un profil privé ou n’a pas encore été indexée par notre système. Cependant, on a accès à plus d’un milliard de visages, donc il y a de fortes chances que ça marche la plupart du temps.

### 1/5 — Need a refund

*2026-06-10, version 1.2.8*

I see what the bad reviews talk about. The faces it tries to match with most of the time look nothing like the person posted. I searched people with public profiles. Same result

### 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*
