Thank you for your support! ### 4/5 — Non authorized purchase. *2025-05-21* I signed up for the free apps gone free deal, this company charged me $10.59 so far. The have ignored 3 emails that I sent. In my opinion this may be a scam company so beware. **Developer response:** Thank you for your message. If this charge was made through your Apple ID, it means the subscription was initiated from your device — we, as the developer, do not have the ability to charge users directly. If you believe this was unintentional, you can request a refund directly from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. If you're an actual user and still need help, please email us at info@penendi.com — we’ll be happy to assist further. 😊 ### 1/5 — 差评！虚假宣传，为什么软件商店显示是0.00元购买？下载软件后总是要购买付费？各位朋友千万不要下载垃圾软件。 *2025-05-15* 差评！虚假宣传，为什么软件商店显示是0.00元购买？下载软件后总是要购买付费？各位朋友千万不要下载垃圾软件。 **Developer response:** 您好，非常抱歉给您带来了不好的体验。我们应用本身免费下载，部分高级功能需要付费，这在描述中也有说明。为了表达我们的诚意，我们将在6月14日再次推出限时免费活动，欢迎您届时体验。如有疑问，请联系 info@penendi.com。谢谢您的理解！ ### 1/5 — False Advertising *2025-05-15* Price changes without notice. Beware. **Developer response:** We’re truly sorry for the confusion and frustration, Gina. We understand how it may have felt unfair. To make it right, we’re bringing back the same lifetime campaign just for you starting on June 14. We hope you’ll give us another chance and update your rating — it really means a lot to us 💛 ### 5/5 — 너무 좋아요 *2025-05-15* 안전하게 잘쓰겠습니다 **Developer response:** 좋은 리뷰 감사합니다! SpyFy를 믿고 사용해 주셔서 기쁩니다. 항상 안전한 사용을 위해 최선을 다하겠습니다. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-05-15* Downloaded app, turned on my cams, ran the scans (all available ones) and didn't report any of the cameras. **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear the scans didn’t detect any cameras. SpyFy uses different methods depending on the type of hidden camera — including AI image analysis, network scans, infrared, and magnetic detection. Some cameras (like analog CCTV) may only be detectable via AI image analysis, while others like Wi-Fi-based cameras require correct network mode and permissions. Please email us at info@penendi.com with details of your test environment — we’d love to help you figure out what happened. SpyFy is one of the most comprehensive and highly-rated hidden camera detector apps on the market. We’re here to help. ### 1/5 — Это просто шутка *2025-05-14* Чисто посмеяться. Не нашел прямо перед ним стоящую работающую камеру. Какие-то цифры мифические показывает. **Developer response:** Нам жаль, что приложение не оправдало ваших ожиданий. SpyFy — это не шутка, а профессиональный инструмент, использующий разные методы для обнаружения разных типов скрытых камер. Проводные камеры — через сетевой скан, CCTV — через ИИ-анализ изображений, инфракрасные — через ИК-скан, беспроводные шпионские устройства — через ИИ + магнитный анализ. Важно выбрать правильный режим для точного результата. Напишите нам на info@penendi.com — мы поможем разобраться. Мы — одно из самых продвинутых и высокооценённых приложений в этой категории. ### 1/5 — Unfassbar! *2025-05-14, version 1.7.5* Diese Abgaben der Funktionen dieser App sind purer Betrug. Warum lässt Apple dies zu? ### 1/5 — Gimmick *2025-05-14* Literally pointed it in the direction of a camera, and it did not detect it. Reminds me of the old “ghost detector” apps my kids used to play with. Not a serious app. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. SpyFy uses different methods based on camera type: wired (network scan), CCTV (AI), infrared (IR), wireless (AI + magnetic). Using the right mode matters. Feel free to reach us at info@penendi.com — we’re happy to help. We’re proud to be one of the most comprehensive and top-rated apps in the market. ### 1/5 — 👎 App didn’t even opened. *2025-05-14* Hanged from the start. Never worked because it didn’t even opened. Maybe that’s the reason that is free. **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear the app didn’t open for you. This may be related to a specific device or iOS version issue. We’re actively working on a fix. Please feel free to contact us at info@penendi.com so we can assist you directly. We’d love the chance to make this right for you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 궁금증 *2026-03-31* 혹시 결제 취소는 어떻게 하나요? **Developer response:** 안녕하세요! 문의 주셔서 감사합니다. 결제 취소는 Apple에서 직접 처리하고 있습니다. 앱 내 구매 또는 구독 관련하여 도움이 필요하시면 Apple 지원팀에 문의하여 주시기 바랍니다. ### 1/5 — 되지도 않는데 돈만 받아먹네 *2025-10-04* 아무것도 안되는데 3주나 구돋 됬네 한번도 제대로 못쓴건데 거지 같네 진짜 **Developer response:** 안녕하세요. 앱이 제대로 작동하지 않아 불편을 드려 정말 죄송합니다. 😔 정확한 탐지를 위해 위치 권한과 블루투스 권한이 모두 허용되어 있는지 확인해 주세요. 또한 본 앱은 iPhone 12 이상 기종에서의 사용을 권장드립니다. 불편하신 점을 info@penendi.com 으로 보내주시면 신속히 도와드리겠습니다. 저희는 원래 App Store에서 평점이 가장 높은 카메라 탐지기 앱이며, 만족하실 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠습니다. 🙏 ### 1/5 — Sorun var *2025-08-29, version 1.9.1* Internette aradığımızda hiç aramıyor boş boş duruyor ### 1/5 — 恶意扣费 *2025-08-20* 明明是限免其内，却扣我钱，垃圾软件，骗钱，退款，不要下载，限免有骗钱的情况，大家注意。 **Developer response:** 尊敬的用户， 感谢您详细分享的反馈。我们非常重视每一位用户的体验，并已将您的意见记录在案。关于您遇到的付款问题，我们建议您直接通过App Store联系Apple支持团队，他们将帮助您处理退款事宜。 我们致力于为用户提供透明、公平的服务，并会认真调查您反映的具体情况。如果您愿意提供更多详细信息，我们将非常感激。 再次感谢您的宝贵反馈，我们将持续改进我们的服务。 诚挚的， 产品支持团队 ### 1/5 — Nasıl iptal ediliyor *2025-07-25, version 1.9.1* Nasıl iptal ediliyor bu uygulama ### 1/5 — Hiç denemeden ücret istenmesi *2025-07-21, version 1.9.1* Hiç denemeden ücret istenmesi yapacağım yorumda belirleyici unsuru aldı götürdü ne kadar sağlıklı çalışıyor bilemiyorum onu demek içinde 299₺ haftalık ücret vermekte mantıklı gelmiyor ### 1/5 — Ücretli olması *2025-06-28, version 1.9.0* Herşeyin ücretli olması gerekmiyor özellikle böyle bir uygulamanın :d ### 1/5 — Disappointed – All Hype, No Results *2025-06-14* I paid for the lifetime premium access hoping this would work. Sadly, it didn’t deliver. The “AI” feature gives generic advice like “check drawers and corners,” and the magnetic field scanner felt like a gimmick. Your phone already has built-in tools for WiFi and Bluetooth, so those features added nothing new. I tested it in multiple lighting conditions with four hidden cameras in one room—it didn’t detect a single one. The magnetic scan was more responsive to my toddler’s drawing than actual electronics. I really wanted this to work, but it just didn’t. I know the devs will likely respond with a generic message, but I won’t be reaching out. Great idea, poor execution. Hopefully future updates fix this, but for now, I can’t recommend it. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback. We're sorry to hear that the app didn’t meet your expectations, but your input is truly valuable to us. The AI analysis feature is primarily designed to guide less experienced users by highlighting areas that are commonly overlooked during manual inspections. It’s meant to help users scan more effectively, especially in unfamiliar environments. The magnetic scanner uses your phone’s built-in magnetometer sensor to detect magnetic field fluctuations. Wireless cameras typically emit stronger magnetic fields, while wired devices may emit much less—so results can vary depending on the device type and setup. Additionally, some hidden cameras do not emit infrared (IR) light, which means they may not appear during an IR scan. While these technical limitations exist, we’re actively working to improve detection accuracy in each update. If you'd like personalized support, we’re happy to assist directly — feel free to contact us at info@penendi.com. Thanks again for trying SpyFy. We hope to earn your trust in future updates. ### 1/5 — Nicht ernst nehmen *2025-05-15, version 1.7.5* Diese App zeigt keine richtige versteckte Kameras o.ä. sondern sagt nur wo welche sein könnten aber das kann man sich ja schon selbst ausdenken. Meine Tür wurde als Elektrogerät erkannt. ### 1/5 — No free lifetime option *2025-05-15* AppAdvice listed lifetime for $0.00. The App Store still has Premium Lifetime listed as $0.00. The only options when completing the onboarding are weekly and a discounted annual subscription. Deleted. **Developer response:** We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the lifetime offer. The promotion was available for a limited time and may have ended just before your download. To make it up to you, we’ll be relaunching the same lifetime offer on June 14. We'd love for you to give SpyFy another try. If your experience improves, we’d truly appreciate a reconsideration of your review.
