Nada q ver con la búsqueda no permiten buscar más de una vez, piden q te hagas pro , osino no funciona pérdida de tiempo ### 5/5 — Muy buena *2025-03-07, version 1.77* Es rápida y buena para buscar ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-01-08, version 1.77* I love this app will you send me notifications if u make updates ### 5/5 — 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 *2025-01-07, version 1.77* 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ### 4/5 — So Far *2025-01-04, version 1.77* So Good ### 5/5 — A+++ 5 Star Rating 🦊 *2025-01-04, version 1.77* 💫💫💫💫💫🌟✨✨✨✨ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Propaganda enganosa *2026-06-11, version 1.84* 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 . ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-06-05, version 1.83* Trash can’t find anything ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work & Privacy Red Flags *2026-05-30, version 1.83* 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. ### 1/5 — MALL *2026-05-09, version 1.83* No sirve de nada esta app!!! ### 1/5 — Save your money *2026-01-30, version 1.81* 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. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-01-10, version 1.81* This app does not work. Tried to multiple images to check and doesn’t even show searches that are even close to what was uploaded. Save your $ ### 1/5 — Smh *2026-01-01, version 1.81* It was worthless image that fell of nothing like the picture I submit! ### 1/5 — Decepcionante *2025-05-13, version 1.77* Puedes buscar fotos de modelos pero cuando estan en traje de baño te dicen que son explicitas y muestran desnudez y simplemente no funciona asi que ya desinstalada. ### 1/5 — If this worked I would have brought it *2025-04-10, version 1.77* It gives 3 searches 1st I loaded a picture, the app said I should crop it or upgrade then 2nd search I took a picture directly’same result’ 3rd took a Very Close Flawed picture to which I was advised I’d exceeded my limit. Rubbish ### 1/5 — No sirve la app *2025-04-03, version 1.77* Intentas buscar con una imagen y no encuentra nada ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Si *2025-10-05, version 1.80* Si ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-09-07, version 1.80* This app just a lot of things that most apps can’t. I love how fast and easy it is to get information on the picture. It’s so awesome. ### 5/5 — Salah *2025-08-28, version 1.80* Hassan ### 5/5 — Excelente App amooo *2025-08-28, version 1.80* me encanta!🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 ### 5/5 — Good *2025-07-28, version 1.80* 👊🏾 ### 5/5 — Review *2025-07-12, version 1.78* Primo! ### 5/5 — photo Sherlock *2025-07-08, version 1.78* simple, ultra user friendly ### 5/5 — Llannely Frias *2025-04-15, version 1.77* Super ### 5/5 — Found what i wanted *2025-04-02, version 1.77* Great app ### 5/5 — Spot On *2025-04-01, version 1.77* Was trying to figure out who a celebrity photo that was featured at an inn I stayed at, but no one knew…Photo Sherlock nailed it spot on! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
