User reviews

Invaluable tool, and free!

I’ve used this app for a decade. It’s easy to use, reliable, and the app has successfully recovered stolen gear.

An incredible service, and free

This is a free service run by one individual, and it has led to the recovery of lots of camera gear. Support Trevor by paying for the service!

Great app

I like this app very much - very useful. However I hate subscription services for pro versions- a one time fee would suit me better. Also it takes a long time for new gear to be added - my Nikon z7ii is still not on the list nor my z 105 macro, and the body has been out quite a while.

Don't waste your time or money

First, this app does nothing the web site doesn't do. But that's not saying much, because the app and the web site are a complete waste of your time and money if you are foolish enough to pay for the "pro" (LOL) version.

The problem is that this site does nothing. The one-man-show doesn’t even respond to support tickets for months. Heck, there’s not even a way to mark an item of yours as not stolen if you recover your items. The site purports to search the web looking for images with your gear’s EXIF data, but it does no such thing. It purports to protect your images by searching for unauthorized use of them, but it doesn’t do that, either.

It’s just a crude database with a poorly-designed interface that collects your camera info. This don’t-quit-your-day-job operation over-promises and under-delivers on the hope that you’ll pay for an annual subscription of snake oil.
