Works For Me

I have used Pictrove for a couple of years now. It’s really handy for me when I need a new group of pictures for doing puzzles. When you find a picture of a genre or theme that you want to find more, Pictrove will search the web for similar pictures to your source picture and even find a subset of a picture you choose from the pictures it has retrieved. So you can drill down to narrow your search results to your interest. You can download a picture on your device or to your desired storage destination, if the author/web site gives you permission to do so. May the odds be in your favor. Enjoy.

Отлично !

Давно им пользуюсь .Очень помогает с поиском нужного.

Beste und einzige Fotoapp

Die App funktioniert seit Jahren perfekt bei mir und es gibt meines Erachtens nichts vergleichbares!

Перестало работать

После обновления до версии 2026.4.2 приложение перестало работать.

Werbung für alte Kunden

Update: Jetzt mit Abo-Modell für Werbefreiheit. Was soll das? Dafür hatte ich schon mal bezahlt (ehemalige Pro-Version)!

Alte Rezension
Ich habe seinerzeit die alte Vollversion gekauft. Das nützt mir leider in dieser Version aber nichts - ich darf (muss) mir trotzdem jetzt die Werbung anschauen. Gefällt mir nicht, sowas…

Und: Statt das Programm und dessen Anbindung an Suchmaschinen vernünftig zu aktualisieren, werden Suchmaschinen, deren neue API nicht mehr zum alten Code passen, einfach gestrichen! Unglaublich. Mittlerweile ist nur noch ein Bruchteil der ursprünglichen Suchmaschinen aktiv.

Subscriptions?

Seriously? U programmed now subscriptions??? Guess what: big NO to subscriptions!!! Keep your pic, we users, uninstall your „creation‘!

Faltan servidores

He notado que, tanto en Android como en iOS, han dejado de aparecer servidores como Google o Tumblr entre otros. Me gustaría saber la razón, si volverán a estar o no.

Es exelente

!!

nach app update Akku fresser

Vor Update funktionierte es noch. Nach dem Update auf die aktuellste Version funktioniert es nicht mehr richtig. Z.b. Frisst Unmengen an Akku!

PicTrove app is cr*p

Paid for this app and now it is showing me ads. Instant delete.

改悪→直った

見つけた画像についてダウンロードをはじめ、類似検索など多彩な操作が出来てお気に入りだったけど、それら操作のアイコンに広告が被るようになり、何も出来なくなった。 使えん…

2024/12/22現在、広告とアイコンバーが被らないように位置調整が行われたもよう。

EXCELLENT APP

This picture search app is the best. Far better than the other one. It has pictures like no other app has, you just have to learn how to use it properly. Whoever rates this app below 5 stars do not understand.

App Ottima

Finalmente, dopo tanti tentativi, ho trovato un app di ricerca foto eccellente!!!

Neden sansür geldi!

Uygulama içerisinde arama yaptığımda “ Glmg “ arama bölümünde resimler hep sansürlü, bunu basıl düzelte bilirim?

No longer working

Update May 2024

No longer working

====•==•••••===

Update Oct 2019: Working great again on all devices and iOS versions (iOS 9.3 - 12.4). Back to 5 Stars! Thanks Devs. ============ Update July 13 2018: Works fine on Google images, but instant crash when ever try to access Bing. (App Update says this is fixed but apparently not yet.) Tried delete app and reinstall, still crashes. But hey, at least the Google pics still work. 4 Stars for moment. Back to 5 when next fixed. (iPhone 4s/ iOS 9.3.5) ========= Update May 3 2016: PicTrove Pro used to be my absolute go to 5 Star app for pic search. Now with the ads in this so called "Pro" version, has become a mega slow annoyance. Even slower now than when ads first added. Very disappointing for sure. (Tho prefer PicTrove Pro, using Universal Image Search App now. At least no ads in the way there to slow things down.) ========= Original 5 Star Review: Works great. Quick and easy find the pics I need.

What happened to PicTrove 2?

Used to be in the App Store, but is now nowhere to be found. Deleted it to clear tracking info, but I can’t reinstall it if it’s not available.

Best photos app!

I do not understand the bad comments. Works fine since ever. Lots of sources and stable. No problems for me. Use it very often. Would even pay for ad-free but don‘t know how. Keep going. Thx!

Задумка хорошая

Давно пользуюсь для поиска картинок. Но в старой версии можно было выбрать из какого ресурса искать, а в новой нет, все в каше, это не нравится

Telegram

Problem sharing photos and gif with telegram

Are You Kidding?

The data mining this dev is doing just for an image search is ridiculous. If you don’t want someone following your every move don’t download this.

UPDATE Took another look at it to see if the app has improved but now it's completely broken and doesn't work at all.
