Many Chinese users do not know English or cannot understand it, which prevents them from using this app. They have to use translation software or AI to translate it, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, I hope you can add Simplified Chinese support to this app, as it would make it much more convenient for many Chinese users. ### 3/5 — 希望支持简体中文 *2026-07-31* Hello developer, I hope you can support Simplified Chinese.

Needs to have a home button and a back button to return to previous page. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-07-04, version 3.6.5* It just redirects you to the same reverse image search sites you can find online for free… the pro version doesn’t add anything to the search… just google “reverse image search” and you’ll find the same and better tools for free. ### 1/5 — Avoid *2025-07-04, version 3.6.5* Cookies hungry app , only they are interested in your search data , waist of time. ### 2/5 — 12 Abfragen *2025-07-04* 4.7.2025 soll ich 12 mal Zebrastreifen, Fahrräder, Motorräder und andere Dinge erkennen. Zwischen den okay Tasten muss man warten. Man kann also nicht gleich das nächste Rätsel lösen. Freundlicherweise kostenlose Vollversion. Wie beschäftigt man einen Affen? 🐒 ### 1/5 — Unnecessary tracking & fake deal *2025-07-04, version 3.6.5* Supposedly this app has a free lifetime sale but there is no actual sale price that shows up when you download. The app tracks your usage across apps and has a poor choice of search engines to use. ### 1/5 — I haven’t tried it yet BUT… *2025-07-04, version 3.6.5* It keeps asking me to rate it nearly EVERYTIME I click on something and to make it worse that’s when I activated the free lifetime offer AND before I’ve even used the app for more then a few seconds so haven’t even managed to try it to see if it’s any good yet… I will consider upping my reviews rating if they fix that and if the app is any good but as it stands I don’t understand how they think asking me to rate something I literally only just installed every 2 seconds is a good experience? And it even still does it if you click the text that tells if not to. So if this is a good app then ignore the 1 star I put my review right now is for what I have experienced so far not about if the app is any good at doing what it says it does. ### 2/5 — Kinda good *2025-07-04, version 3.6.5* How to remove photos from History!? ### 1/5 — Captcha Blackhole *2025-07-04, version 3.6.5* Never actually got to search an image as I was prompted endlessly to find motorcycles, traffic lights and buses. Despite correctly selecting items that I have been able to identify since I was 3 I was only ever presented with new opportunities to sharpen my captcha skills. Just glad it was free today. ### 1/5 — Does not search for a image match *2025-07-04, version 3.6.5* Did not find one match, including the one that I used as a test, ### 1/5 — Not *2025-06-23, version 3.6.4* I though this app was good but is not, after I give the 5 stars, just stop working and ask me to pay. I don’t recommend this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I just bought this and something is wrong *2026-05-20, version 3.7.4* What is going on. I put 2 photos in and got 2 error message about error on the back end and then that they I have exceeded my limit ### 1/5 — I just bought this and something is wrong *2026-05-01, version 3.7.4* What is going on. I put 2 photos in and got 2 error message about error on the back end and then that they I have exceeded my limit ### 1/5 — Instalei e só aparece ERRO *2026-04-20* Instalei e qualquer imagem com a camera ou galeria apenas aparece " erro inesperado" 412.

It just searches in google and bing for images and gets things wrong ### 1/5 — Literally useless *2025-11-15, version 3.7.1* Pay to use slop ### 1/5 — Limited use *2025-10-02, version 3.6.9* Costs money after a short while (12€/month or 35€/year). A tool like this isn’t worth that price. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-07-14, version 3.6.5* Poor search. Doesn’t pick up even the obvious images ### 1/5 — Unnötig und sinnfrei *2025-07-05* Die App öffnet lediglich Google, Bing und Yandex Image Search. Hat aus meiner Sicht keine Daseinsberechtigung. ! ### 1/5 — Captcha Wahnsinn *2025-07-05* Wer drauf steht Tausende Captchas lösen zu müssen, wird Spaß an dieser App haben ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great tool *2026-03-05, version 3.7.4* Search for scammers ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2025-07-07, version 3.6.5* So easy to use!! Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2025-07-05, version 3.6.5* I have a friend in Chatanooga who visits historical sights and delights in sending me photos to see if I can identify them. When I am unable to do so (usually always), he provides clues until I stumble inelegantly onto the answer. Not long ago, he sent a picture of a pre-Civil War era house. After numerous clues, I finally correctly identified it as the home of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest. This morning I ran the picture through my new Reverse Image Search app, which correctly recognized it immediately. I can’t wait for my friend to text another photograph. The app also identified a picture of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg taken when she was an impossibly beautiful young woman, but scored a swing and a miss when shown a photograph of me in my pilot uniform standing beside James Lovell, the commander of Apollo 13. The app displayed a series of pictures of random pilots in uniform but made no mention of Commander Lovell. I even submitted a 30 second pencil sketch of a ballerina. The app misidentified the sketch as that of a Chinese artist who is unknown to me. The answer was flattering but incorrect, although it included a number of similar sketches. Even with two misses, I find the Reverse Image Search app to be potentially very useful for researching photographs and resolving mysteries. In college, I could only dream of possessing such a powerful analysis tool. ### 5/5 — Buena aplicación *2025-07-05, version 3.6.5* Muy útil ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-07-05, version 3.6.5* Looking for a ‘lens’ app for iPhone… this seems to provide it. So far so good!! Give it a try!! ### 5/5 — Top *2025-07-03* Top ### 5/5 — Top *2024-11-29* SENSASIONAL **Developer response:** Thank you so much! Glad you think it’s sensational! ### 5/5 — Chido *2024-09-21, version 3.5.3* Bueno ### 5/5 — Image Search *2024-09-15, version 3.5.3* Videos ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2024-08-06, version 3.5.3* Great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
