Propaganda enganosa

Não cumpre o que promete. Encontra apenas pessoas parecidas com a foto mas não a pessoa em si . Fiz o teste com a minha foto .

Doesn’t Work & Privacy Red Flags

This app failed to deliver on its core features. The image matching algorithm appears to rely on surface level color detection rather than actual facial features. For example, when uploading a photo of an individual with natural red hair and glasses, the app simply returned random people who bore no resemblance to the original subject, matching only the hair color to a bright firetruck red. More surprisingly, it was completely unable to identify highly recognizable celebrities whose images are widely indexed across the web. If the tool cannot identify a famous public figure, it is essentially nonfunctional. Further, the app accessed my photo library immediately without ever prompting the standard Apple permission dialog. This lack of a transparency check is a significant privacy concern. I cannot recommend downloading this app.

No sirve de nada esta app!!!

Save your money

I paid to upload two photos to be identified of people I personally know. Both photos were very clear, straight on facial photos. This so could not identify the persons in the first photo and totally misidentified the second person. Wrong name, wrong location, wrong info. This app needs to be completely revamped or removed from the App Store.
