## What is Reverse Image Search?

The app makes it easy to search by image from a smartphone in different search engines.

You can use a picture to find related images from the web. Search using an image works best when the image is likely to show up in other places on the web. So you'll get more results for famous landmarks than you will for personal images like your latest family photo.

When you search with a picture, your results may include:
• Similar images
• The websites that contain these images
• Other sizes of the picture you searched with

You can search right from:
• «Photos» app
• Any browser: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc.
• Any cloud storage: Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.

Subscription pricing and terms
The subscription will automatically renew unless turned off in your iTunes Account Settings at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can go to your iTunes Account settings to manage your subscription and turn off auto-renew. Your iTunes Account will be charged when the purchase is confirmed. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable.

### 4/5 — I have a feature request.

*2025-06-09, version 2.2.3*

When Safari is set as the default browser in device settings, search results still open in the in-app browser even if the preferred browser setting in this app is set to default browser.  
I'd like them to open in the Safari app instead of the in-app browser.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nach paar malen nicht mehr

*2025-05-22, version 2.2.3*

Nur ein paar mal suchen geht, danach wird man aufgefordert ein Abo abzuschließen

### 5/5 — Поиск по картинкам

*2025-04-01, version 2.2.3*

Утилита хорошо справляется и находит точно.

### 3/5 — No funciona correctamente

*2025-03-15, version 2.2.3*

La app no funciona correctamente en el iPad, no se puede acceder a las herramientas. No permite hacer ajustes.

### 3/5 — Update problems

*2025-03-09*

I am unable to get it to do the search in safari. No matter what option I pick in the setting it just opens a browser window into the photos app and it it won’t allow me to save any photo I find in the in app web browser and I can’t figure out how to open it in the safari app.

**Developer response:** This is a Google-only limitation. Unfortunately, there is no other way to do it.

The bug with the inability to save a photo will be fixed

### 5/5 — Не хотело работать Но!!!

*2025-01-19*

После обновления до версии 2.1 приложение вылетает на iPhone 11, iOs 17.5.1 Не работает, не адаптируется в фото. Удалил, снова загрузил, не работает, вылетает. НО!!! После обращения, в течении суток исправили и сейчас приложение опять рабочее. Молодцы разработчики.

**Developer response:** upd: похоже нашел проблему, обновление отправлено на проверку 

Не очень понимаю что значит "е адаптируется в фото". Уточните пожалуйста, вы имеете в виду когда ищите через расширение из приложения Фото?

Лучше напишите в тг @cyanion

### 3/5 — 🤨

*2025-01-19*

После обновления перестал работать. Теперь выкидывает из приложения сразу. Что вы наделали?🥲

**Developer response:** Уже вышло обновление с исправлением, извините

### 5/5 — Fehler

*2025-01-18, version 2.1*

Stürzt nach neuesten Update sofort ab !

### 3/5 — Last update broke it

*2024-11-05*

Since last update it doesn’t work. It asks me if I want to use browser or app but then never opens browser

Correction the update broke the reverse lookup when using share sheet in photos. Still works if I open the app and initiate the search in there

**Developer response:** Thanks for the information, the problem will be fixed in the next update, which will be released in a couple of days

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2024-11-03, version 2.0.2*

Sogar Bilder die man via Google vorab gesucht hat, findet die App fünf Sekunden später nicht mehr. Auch nicht über die (falsch?) implementierte Google-Suche. Auch sonst wird absolut jedes Bild nicht gefunden, egal wie trivial. 
Fazit: Unbrauchbar.
