I have used it a little like three times but to keep the review from always popping up and feeling guilt I said yes to this review. It did not cost me anything and it really has not worked for what I wanted but it does work it gives you a lot of matching photos or very close. I don’t know what I expected but if you are looking for entertainment I think you will be happy. I also got the one to identify dogs, cats, and insects. :) ### 5/5 — So far so good *2021-02-14, version 2.0.0* Seems to work well enough . Not entirely sure since before I completed my FIRST image lookup the app repeatedly sent pop ups to complete this review. Matter of fact I’m goin down to 3 stars . ### 5/5 — Thank you *2021-01-24, version 2.0.0* Thank you for this app! I can not express how grateful I am for this. I’ve only been using it a couple of days, and I have been able to deter would be scammers! So far at least 5 people have posed as someone else using someone else’s photo! It is easy to use and I will continue to use this app! Again, thank you! ### 5/5 — Impressive *2020-11-17, version 2.0.0* Love this app ! Helps when studying. Took photos of images on slide then find where my teacher was getting them from with bonus info. ### 5/5 — Review *2020-11-10, version 2.0.0* This app is wonderful to use, it is the best reverse search app I have gotten so far. Sadly the creators hasn’t updated it in a year, but it’s working like a charm and you only get one ad when you start it, not one every button you push ### 5/5 — Extremely Handy *2020-10-10, version 2.0.0* If you’re looking for an image that you have, but don’t remember where it came from, this is the app for you. ### 5/5 — Home Screen Search *2020-09-14, version 2.0.0* Great app but you should know that when you do a search for this app from the home screen it does not appear in the search results. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-07-01, version 2.0.0* A scammer who used far too much flattery, sent me a picture. I used the search feature on here and found out the picture was actually the CEO of Hublot. I told him that he was a scammer and that I was contacting the FBI. I haven’t heard from him since. ### 5/5 — What else can I ask for? *2020-06-24, version 2.0.0* The app is pretty straight forward and easy to use and offers different search engines to search with. I love it. ### 5/5 — Works like a Charm!! *2020-06-03, version 2.0.0* App works so well that I searched an image of my GF that she sent to supposedly only me. Quite risqué in her thong and VS garter belt. Turns out she was using that pic to post on an Escorts site!! Selling herself for “Sugar Daddies “ and anyone with $25! Thanks for saving me the money!! ### 5/5 — Great for cat fish *2020-04-23, version 2.0.0* I have caught SO many fake people on dating apps with this app. It’s great. They give you multiple search engines to search through and you can upload your own photos to search through them. I’ve taken screenshots of dating profiles to search and see if they are real. You’d be surprised what you find! ### 4/5 — There’s room for improvement ... *2020-04-15, version 2.0.0* as most apps have as well. Reverse Image Search is by far one of the most unique and helpful apps I think I own. I used to use an AI bot or manual searches to do reverse image searches since I have to use the functionality often so I was incredibly excited to find an app that does the work for me. I’m a big fan. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t actually work *2020-04-30, version 2.0.0* I took a picture of a dress on a hanger and in the search bar it said girl and showed me porcelain dolls! I’ve taken over 30 pictures of dress because I’m trying to find me a similar dress type I have for my birthday coming and I’m getting so frustrated! It worked one time and I used the same picture of the same dress and it brought up something completely different like leather jackets (not a leather dress it’s black denim. This doesn’t work it’s such B.S. ### 1/5 — Does this thing EVER work?? *2020-02-12, version 2.0.0* Well, to be fake, it did work one time...out of literally dozens of times I tried it. The rest of the time would go something like this: I see a plant and I want to know what type it is. Take the pic; try to use the app. First answer: “HOUSE PLANT”. Yeah, no duh. Second attempt, different angle: “POTTED PLANT”. Right. I’ll try from top. “PLANTER”. Jeez. Okay maybe if I got is really close: “GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLE”. Aaaannnnddd that is pretty much how it has gone every single time I’ve tried to use it. I guess in this case, you get what you pay for. Deleted. ### 1/5 — It can find pictures- not hard. User interface only took twice to decide to delete. *2019-06-09, version 1.0.3* Why would you think if I’m searching for an image and presented with multiple returns, that I wouldn’t want to choose one to view, go back and choose another? Choose one image to view and, bang, start over. There are too many other ways to do this kind of search that don’t annoy me in 60 seconds or less. Next on my list? Delete this app. ### 3/5 — Prompted to rate before I could see results *2021-07-03, version 3.0.0* Just as I finished cropping the first image to be searched I was prompted to rate the app - efore I could see the search results and determine off useful the app is. Maybe review again if things get better. ### 3/5 — Not sure *2020-01-16, version 2.0.0* This is the second image search I’ve tried today. The first let me look up one image, then immediately tried sending me to a pro model. Now, when I try to search, it goes only to the page to purchase a pro edition. This insisted I rate it before I used it. Hope it’s better than the first. I have one of these apps on May phone and it has found all kinds of things for me, such as tracking down a vintage carafe my husband wants. ### 3/5 — Good basic tool *2018-07-01, version 1.0.1* Acquired this app to search for fake news images and where it did find the image it quite often only found recent instances - I would like to know who took the picture date and time from meta data or know if metadata was scrubbed / but it was pretty good for a free app! ### 4/5 — Could be better *2023-07-27* I believe it could be better by looking deeper into the internet , dark web , etc. and maybe options……for example……social media platforms , hidden , or location stuff like that. ### 4/5 — Better than most *2022-09-28, version 3.3.0* Still checking app out. Haven’t had a chance to check it out much. ### 4/5 — Phenomenal Tool *2021-09-27, version 3.0.0* I love this app is a great tool for searching products at different locations. That's what I mostly use it for & I have found same product at more than half off! ### 4/5 — Efficient *2020-10-23, version 2.0.0* The way the ads generate is a little annoying (they appear but then reappear, minor inconvenience) but everything else is fine besides the fact that I can’t switch the screen orientation. The web browsers can be a little janky too but that’s their fault, not the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reverse app *2023-08-13* I have used this helpful app to search for just about anything you can think of. I have found things that I had no idea about what they actually were and I just took a picture of it and loaded it into the app and it found it in a matter of seconds. I’ve really enjoyed using this app and I have recommended it to others many times. It is great for catching scammers on twitter and Facebook and instagram that are pretending to be someone there actually not and sending you a profile picture of them supposedly and then you run the picture and find out it’s some prom star they have sent you a picture of and wanted you to believe it was a picture of them. ### 5/5 — R.I.S.T. (Reverse Image Search Tool) *2022-12-12, version 3.3.0* This app. Has improved substantially I use it constantly and have found so many items I could not locate before. I like Ken it so much I purchased the Pro App. It’s worth it. Respectfully Donna ### 5/5 — Reverse app *2022-12-10, version 3.3.0* I have used this helpful app to search for just about anything you can think of. I have found things that I had no idea about what they actually were and I just took a picture of it and loaded it into the app and it found it in a matter of seconds. I’ve really enjoyed using this app and I have recommended it to others many times. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2022-10-22, version 3.3.0* I love this app. I've been able to research items that I didn't even know what they were until I put them in. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly accurate *2022-09-07, version 3.3.0* Love this app when trying to identify an item or location!! 🥰 ### 5/5 — Please don’t change a think *2022-07-07, version 3.3.0* These star things tend to overthink improvements and end up ruining apps. Please don’t change a thing. ### 5/5 — Great/Vital *2022-04-29, version 3.3.0* I use it to find original artist, photographer, publisher, etc for copyright compliance giving credit to them. Plus I get some additional information about an image that adds depth to the meaning in my work. ### 5/5 — out the app; so far so good! *2022-03-20, version 3.3.0* Just signed up. Hadn’t had a chance to check out the app. yet! So far so good! I rate by every app starts out with 5 stars & as I go through the app is when apps either keep their 5 stars or start loosing them. So far they’ve got 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Super fun and works well! *2022-01-27, version 3.2.0* A lot of fun to track down things you have seen online and finds things hard to find! ### 5/5 — Ursula becomes young again as Vanessa original princess on land *2022-01-02, version 3.2.0* my review for this is that it’s like a transformation to make overseen for someone older becoming younger again and remembering when she was royal on land wishing that someday should be royale in the vast seven seas of the ocean --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
