Bluetooth crash issues resolved. ### 1/5 — DOESNT WORK AT ALL *2020-02-24* Basically just tells you to look for suspicious WiFi names under your settings. Don’t waste your money! **Developer response:** Major App Update : Please update the app. It comes with new features including AI as well as revamped UI and proper guide. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Useless app doesn’t detect anything *2020-01-28* I kept the app on and even placed my phone on CCTV camera and my MacBook infra cameras. App detects nothing **Developer response:** Major App Update : Please update the app. It comes with new features including AI as well as revamped UI and proper guide ### 1/5 — Décevant *2020-01-23* Pas de notice meme en anglais et ne fonctionne pas. **Developer response:** Major App Update : Please update the app. It comes with new features including AI as well as revamped UI and proper guide. Bluetooth crash issues resolved. ### 1/5 — Waste *2019-12-28* Have both types of cameras and this app detected neither. **Developer response:** Major App Update : Please update the app. It comes with new features including AI as well as revamped UI and proper guide ### 1/5 — Wasted money *2019-11-17* Absolut useless App. There is only one thing you can do with it beyond your normal anyway already implemented iPhone camera and Bluetooth functions. This one thing is the „magnetic sensor“. Sounds good but is utterly useless because it simply doesn’t work. I tested about 20 different brand and model wired cameras with it and not a single one was detected, whatever sensitivity settings and distances being used, not even when you touch the camera with the iPhone. Save your money, this App doesn’t add any value. **Developer response:** Major App Update : Please update the app. It comes with new features including AI as well as revamped UI and proper guide. Bluetooth crash issues resolved. ### 1/5 — Scam not a scan! *2019-10-27, version 1.3* Should be removed from the ap store ... essentially opens settings or flashes the camera light so you can better SEE camera a? ### 1/5 — Visible camera detector is a false added feature *2019-08-21* An iPhone is able to view hidden cameras (emitting infrared (IR) light) right out of the box. Selling this feature as an upgrade is fraudulent. If all you are using this app for is to detect IR, then take your iPhone and use the selfie camera to find light sources in the non-visible spectrum. Don’t waste your money on this. **Developer response:** Major App Update : Please update the app. It comes with new features including AI as well as revamped UI and proper guide ### 1/5 — Waste *2019-07-20* Worst app ever. Doesn’t show any thing properly. It won’t access back camera it access only front camera how can we scan the place with front camera. **Developer response:** Major App Update : Please update the app. It comes with new features including AI as well as revamped UI and proper guide. Bluetooth crash issues resolved. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work as specified *2019-05-28* I purchase this app looking to detect and find hidden cameras. It didn’t work. The app use the forward facing camera instead of the back facing camera is specified. As soon as I installed and opened the app. The has been beeping uncontrollably at everything with pause. I highly doubt that this app is detecting anything of any significants. I turned the camera towards myself and continued to beep. I guess I have a hidden camera embedded in me I don’t know about....smh **Developer response:** Major App Update : Please update the app. It comes with new features including AI as well as revamped UI and proper guide ### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish *2019-03-09, version 1.1* This does not work and is a waste of money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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.! ### 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* не находит даже известные камеры. видит только ИК подсветку, но ее и другими способами видно, допустим через фильтр. взяли деньги- хоть выпейте за мое здоровье! **Developer response:** Hello, sorry for your experience with the app. Please explore this detailed guide on how to detect different types of camera. https://futureapps.site/hidden-camera-detector#guide.

Since most cameras use WiFi the apps setting for this is awful!
