Waste of money ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2024-01-14* Well worth the $2! (*fyi - My phone required a restart before it showed up in widgets) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-10-13* Doesn’t show up in widgets. Worthless. ### 1/5 — Just Awful *2023-08-12* The least user-friendly, most non-functional app on my phone, and it is such a simple function ### 2/5 — Hard to set up for me. Sorry *2023-08-02* I found it hard to set up. Sorry ### 5/5 — Owner info *2023-02-03* Very elegant solution. Recommendable! ### 5/5 — IfFound Works Great! *2022-10-31* This app works great! The app is simple to use and does not take up much space on my phone. My only suggestion to improve the app would be for it to have a dark theme within the app when dark mode is enabled in iOS. My thanks to the developer for a simple to use app that works well. Job well done! ### 4/5 — UPDATED REVIEW *2022-10-15* After much experimentation—I was able to at least get my phone number and email address to display normally. It appears that a total of 39 characters (including spaces) will fit nicely. My contact details—though tiny—appear nice and sharp. And the small size is actually growing on me. I would still have liked to have more characters available, though. I had to remove the word ‘contact’ (from If found, contact …). I would have liked to start with, “If found, please contact…” and I would also have liked to add “Thanks!” Or “Thank you!” at the end. On balance, though—this app is a great idea. It’s a great step up from having Brother labels with my contact info stuck to all over the back of my iPhone case. I’m also very impressed that the developer responded so quickly, and so positively. **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately there is not much room to manoeuvre even in the largest widget available. I will look more into the font and overall customization of the widget soon, as well as more options of leaving feedback so expect an update through the weekend! ### 3/5 — No I’m impressed *2022-04-11* Not overly impressed can do the same thing on my iPhone in Photos for free it’s nothing special about this app ### 1/5 — Tough to use *2021-12-03* I still can’t figure out how this app works. Glad I only paid 99 cents for it ## Frequently asked questions about IfFound ### What does the IfFound app do?
