### 2/5 — На айфон не раьотает. Верните деньги

*2026-02-24*

Купил и не понял зачем. Не работает и всё на анг языке

### 5/5 — Best Detector by Far

*2025-12-09*

I don’t write too many reviews about apps but I gotta say this is the best Spy Cam Detector I ever used. I challenge anyone to show me a better one!!!

### 1/5 — Astonishing

*2025-09-12*

Honestly this app offers no filter whatsoever can’t even turn iPhone on it’s side or switch camera smh it’s so frustrating I feel like the developers just gave up won’t even bother to refund

### 1/5 — Nope not at all

*2023-09-25*

Does not work like they say it is supposed to, what a waste of money and time.!

### 3/5 — Review

*2023-05-20*

I recently purchased this and at first when i had my bluetooth and wifi on it didn't detect anything other than an increase in numbers. But when i turned off my wifi but left my bluetooth on it started to detected some areas . So I wanted to know if theres a difference when having your wifi turned on/off does it affect it and how accurate this is ?

### 1/5 — No free trial, wasted $2.99 + tax

*2022-08-05*

As there was no free trial I went based off reviews and bit the bullet on the 299. Boy am I sorry. Not detailed At All. It keeps telling me there is a small device. But What is it? (example my phone, tablet, Etc.) The wired Camera Detector starts out at 59 and the only thing that drew a magnetic Spike was my doorbell camera. My other smaller cameras did not register, as I use these things as a test drive learning how to use the app. This app did not suit my needs as my neighbors are my problem, I suppose if I was worried about my partner in my own home it might show hidden devices. But for the general public areas I was sorely disappointed. Trying to figure out how to get out of this $2.99 as I haven't even had the app for 24 hours. 👎👎

### 1/5 — Not Happy

*2022-08-01*

I did lense detector mode outside at night and pointed it at my own security cameras… it could not detect them… I feel like I was scammed

### 1/5 — Ерунда

*2022-05-01*

взяли деньги- хоть выпейте за мое здоровье!

*2022-03-19*

Tried all modes and it doesn’t detect any of my cameras from a variety of manufacturers. Do not recommend.
