Does it work ?
Response from developer
Hi Mj7022! Thank you so much for the 5-star rating. I’m glad you’re enjoying iAmNotified so far! To answer your question: The notification is shown on your own device’s lock screen, not on the phone of anyone who might have hacked you. iAmNotified is designed to let you know if someone physically unlocked your iPhone (for example, someone who knows your passcode or used your fingerprint while you weren’t looking). If they do unlock it, the original lock-screen notification will disappear or change the next time you check your phone. That’s how you know someone accessed your device. I hope this clarifies how it works! If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out. Thanks again for using iAmNotified and for the awesome review!
Not Clear
Response from developer
Hi 2RealAsh! I’m sorry for any confusion. iAmNotified only has a single, one-time purchase of $2.99—there are no subscriptions or hidden fees. The 14 USD charge not for iAmNotified. For a refund, you can visit Apple’s support page or request one directly through your App Store purchase history. Regarding how the app works: iAmNotified places a unique notification on your lock screen each time you lock your phone. If someone unlocks your device while you’re away, that notification changes or disappears, alerting you that someone had access. It’s more than just detecting if someone’s holding your phone; it’s designed to give you peace of mind by showing exactly when your phone’s been unlocked. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings. We’d love for you to give iAmNotified another try once everything is sorted out. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help!
Peace of Mind

Hi CounselorTroi! Thank you for the 5-star review. I’m really happy to hear that iAmNotified has helped bring you peace of mind after your phone was compromised. By placing a unique marker on your lock screen, the app makes it clear whenever someone physically unlocks your device—so you can feel confident that no one is sneaking in undetected. I’m glad your factory reset worked and that iAmNotified is reassuring you that your phone is secure. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope the app continues to protect your privacy! If you ever need help or have questions, feel free to reach out. Thanks again for using iAmNotified!
Not sure if this app works anymore
Trust me, Don’t Bother. Useless
Response from developer
Hi palmhoutx! I’m sorry to hear iAmNotified didn’t meet your expectations. Because of iOS restrictions, our app can’t automatically take photos of whoever unlocks your phone—it’s designed to alert you that your phone was physically accessed at all. If you notice the notification is missing or different when you return, you know someone has unlocked your device. That information can help you take quick steps, like changing your passwords, enabling extra security, or having a conversation with someone who might’ve accessed your phone. We understand it’s frustrating not to know who did it, but the core idea is to give you a clear signal that an unlock happened while you were away. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve, we’d love to hear them! We’re always working to make iAmNotified as helpful as possible. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Waste of money
In response to your response, I will take off my review for a refund of the money I spent to find out the hard way. I still don’t understand the interface though. Just let me know when you’ve done as requested as I have had to remove the app immediately as it was not fit for purpose. The quicker you can do that the quicker I can do my part.

Hello Itmustbebetter, this app is to detect physical access to your phone and not spyware or malware, as explained in the description, website and videos. There are also instruction to help you use it, once you understand what it does. Fyi, it is just not possible to develop an app that monitors or scans the system for spyware or malware on iOS, because of the strict security policies that Apple put in place: each app runs in a “sandbox” and does not have access to os information. I would appreciate you reconsidered your review. Thank you! Best Tommaso
Doesn’t work well
You simply leave the app on in the foreground. You have to remember to leave it running in the foreground otherwise it does nothing.
If someone other than you open your phone and dismisses the app, then you know someone else used your phone.
It’s ridiculous.
The history log doesn’t seem to work well either.
I wish I could get my $2.99 back…

Hi Fresh NY! I’m sorry to hear iAmNotified didn’t meet your expectations. Because of how iOS manages background processes, we can’t run continuously in the background the way some desktop or Android apps can. Instead, iAmNotified is designed to place a “marker” (a notification) on the lock screen—this is why you need to open the app and then lock your device while iAmNotified is active. If you return to your phone and the notification is gone or changed, that’s your indication someone unlocked it. The History Log should keep track of previous notifications, though it’s important to keep both the app and iOS updated to ensure smooth performance. We understand it’s not a perfect solution for every situation, but iAmNotified aims to give you a simple way to detect unauthorized unlocks within iOS restrictions. If you have any questions or suggestions on how we can improve, we’d love to hear them. Thank you for trying iAmNotified, and we appreciate your feedback!
Not getting any notifications
Wow
Response from developer
Hey Vinvinsim, thanks a lot for the positive feedback and showing to understand my struggle 😅. Much appreciated that you took the time! To answer to your question, I also agree it would be great to have it running in the background, but unfortunately apple does not allow to do so and for very good security reasons, limiting what developers can do in the background. Thanks again! T

Hello, iAmNotified is a very simple App and it does exactly what is written in the description. It can let you know if someone gained physical access to your device. Watch the video on the website to understand how it works. Thank you.
Refund
Response from developer
Hello Rebel, the ability to take a picture is not mentioned anywhere in the description of the App. We decided not to include this feature as it is not possible to reliably implement it due to iOS security.
Watch out.
Response from developer
Hello Secessionist, the app helps you detect if someone tries to unlock and get physical access to your device. For the dark screen, you probably selected the “stealth” option: just tap on the screen and the app will be visible, as explained in the instructions. Thank you.
