Search by Image for Safari User Reviews

Top reviews

돈 안아깝다

사파리에선 이걸로 끝

Works as Intended

Not sure what the deal is with the negative reviews but it works just like the Chrome/Firefox versions. It’s a bit clunky to use on mobile but that’s entirely on iOS.

Improvable

It’d be great that for 8€ that you’re charged for this app you could image search directly from the photo library, not limited to a safari extension

I’ve allowed Permission but first info screen still blocks entrance

First screen directs you to allow this extension in Settings. I have done that. As well as go through all Settings to see if it is somewhere other than where they say. Nope. That initial screen is my entire experience with Search by Image. It will not go away. Have asked for refund. (You have to go into your Account and tap Purchases.) BTW, MacOS version of this app does not work either.

Response from developer

Hi Mark! Browser extensions are installed unsing an app on iOS and macOS, but you usually only interact with the app once after installation. When you turn on the extension for Safari, the extension icon is added to the browser toolbar and the context menu on macOS, and on iOS the extension is listed when you tap the extension icon on the tab bar. You can access most browser extensions from those places. If you need more help, please follow the support link and open an issue on GitHub.

Over an hour...

Deleted with disgust. Over an hour trying to figure out how this app functions. There are no specific instructions or manual anywhere. And his Support page is even more confusing, not to mention requires an account. I'm a smart guy and I know computers. Yet this is just too complicated for me. Another Developer who knows how it works and expects everyone to know what he does.

Hi Mark! Browser extensions are installed unsing an app on iOS and macOS, but you usually only interact with the app once after installation. When you turn on the extension for Safari, the extension icon is added to the browser toolbar and the context menu on macOS. You can access most browser extensions from those places in Safari. You can also share images from other apps to Search by Image to initiate a new reverse image search. If you need more help, please follow the support link and open an issue on GitHub. I would have gladly helped you to get started with browser extensions if only you'd have reached out. You've also submitted multiple negative reviews for the app on the App Store for each platform, and it seems you have purchased the app multiple times for each platform to then request chargebacks, when you could have purchased the app only once, which lets you install the extension on all supported platforms.

Best for design workflows

I use this multi searcher to find upscaled and variations on images in my design assets - highly essential for my design workflow. Also, the developer is very responsive. There was an issue with Mac OS 15.0 compatibility and was quickly fixed.

Rip off

This only works for Google Lens which you can already have a shortcut for in Safari if you have the Google app. None of the other search engines will upload the image and search for it. It literally just opens the search engine’s home page

Response from developer

Have you allowed the extension to access all websites? All search engines should work as expected if permissions are set up correctly. I'd be happy to help figure out the problem on your device, please open an issue here: https://github.com/dessant/search-by-image/issues

Must Have Tool

Klar, kostet was, aber funktioniert super und großer Funktionsumfang!

Doesn’t work - shows ADS even after paying $7

Blown away that an expensive app will not do its primary function and will have the audacity to show long unskippable full screen video ads

최고의 이미지 서치 앱

이것저것 다 받아봤지만 이 앱이 최고

App doesn’t work anymore

Doesn’t work like it’s supposed to

no google lens=happy

:)

Büsschen teuer hier

Na ja, aber dafür ist's auf allen anderen
Browsern/Systemen ja frei.

Im Mittel kommt's hin :)

Works, don’t understand the settings

The extension seems to work well, thanks!

I don’t understand what some of the settings do. Could you provide docs for them or help text on the settings page?

For example, changing “search all engines” to “from browser menu” seems to stop showing the options when I activate the extension. So it’s no longer possible to change the image method (select image, select url, upload image, etc.) and no longer able to share. Very confusing.

Response from developer

Some users may want to quickly search with a single or a couple of search engines, and they don't use other features that are available in the extension popup. That option disables the popup and tapping the extension button will immediately start a search with the enabled engines. There is a plan to support customizable search engine groups, and the options will change when the new feature is introduced. We could add info buttons to the new options to help users configure the extension, and publish a wiki with more detailed information. Thanks for the feedback! Please open an issue on GitHub if you need any help, or if you'd like to suggest new features.

I’m impressed.

This is a popular extension for desktop browsers that is now ported for iOS Safari and it works unbelievably well.

You can turn the extension on and then select any image embedded in webpages and this extension will reverse search it in your choice of image search engine (which it has plenty) using the image URL.

Or you can directly supply with images from your library so it removes the need for dedicated reverse image search apps too.

Worth it.

Funciona muy bien y es universal

Hace sencilla la búsqueda por imagen, que siempre es bastante engorroso. Se puede configurar en qué buscadores realizar la operación partiendo de una lista muy completa. Sin duda una extensión muy interesante para iOS y Mac.

O melhor!

A melhor extensão pra pesquisa reversa de imagem no navegador, tanto no computador e agora no iOS

Responsive Developer

Had an earlier review that wasn't completely fair to this developer, since they were not actually responsible for issues caused, but another developers extention causing conflict.

This developer provided clear troubleshooting steps to get to root cause.

This extention is also continued to be updated and improved and looks like it's going to be maintained for a long time to come. Definitely does what it says it does and in a nice clean way too with good configuration options.
