## What is Sherlock?

Sherlock is a reverse image search for faces. Add a photo of yourself and see where that photo appears across publicly available sources on the web — the same idea as a reverse-image search, applied to a face.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• See where your photo appears online — social posts, blogs, news, and other public pages.
• Spot stolen or reused pictures of you.
• Find accounts that use your photos to impersonate you, so you can report them.
• Check your own public image footprint.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Add a clear photo of yourself.
2. We run a visual-similarity (reverse image) search across public web sources through our search provider.
3. You get a list of matching images and the source pages where they appear, ranked by visual similarity.

WHAT SHERLOCK IS NOT
Sherlock does not build, store, or maintain any profile, dossier, or database of any person. It does not identify people, reveal names, or compile personal information. Every search returns only image matches and their public source links — nothing more — and results are never saved.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• We don't store the photos you search.
• Your photo is sent only to our third-party search provider (FaceCheck.ID), with your explicit in-app consent, solely to run the search — and is deleted by the provider within 24 hours.
• No ads in the app. Advertising attribution is used only as described in our Privacy Policy and follows your iOS tracking choice.

RESPONSIBLE USE
You must be 18+. Search only your own face, or a photo you have explicit permission to search. Do not use Sherlock to identify, profile, monitor, harass, or stalk anyone, to upload photos of minors, or for employment, housing, credit, insurance, or other FCRA-covered decisions. Results are based on visual similarity, can be incomplete or inaccurate, and never confirm anyone's identity.

Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage anytime in your Apple settings.

### 1/5 — Garbage Face tracker

*2026-08-05*

It does not scan faces correctly and only looking to take your money.

### 1/5 — App nul

*2026-08-05*

### 3/5 — What is the name of the raccoon?

*2026-08-04*

I’m wondering if you can tell me the name of the mascot raccoon.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-03*

Complete Trash. Better face scanners out there that are half the price and give you unlimited face scans. Writing this review because I already know they're not going to give me my money back. Tried searching 7 different people and not one came back. Save your money and buy a better face scanner.

### 1/5 — Horrible search results

*2026-08-02*

Don't buy this you won't get any good results just charge back if you do

**Developer response:** Our App uses the most advanced image and facial recognition software that exists. With a data base of over 1 billion faces.

If your face didnt appear then simply because its not accessible.

### 1/5 — Pour c’est payant ?

*2026-08-01*

Ça ne sert à rien de faire une application si c’est pour ne pas l’utiliser sans payer.

**Developer response:** Hey, The service is quite expensive for us to run, its impossible to offer it for free. Our magin is already quite low. Considering everything, like Ad Spent. Developing cost. API cost etc. We would appreciate if you. could overthink the rating since it has strong negative effects on our app and we already did the best we could do from our side. WIth better pricing and more credits compared to competitors.

### 2/5 — Nice concept subscriptions required tho
