It will be total loss if you purchase this app. I had this app for last 7 months but haven’t got any useful outcome of it. Can’t even detect the laptop”s front camera.. it just go around go around, that’s it. Maker of this app is very clever & know how to make people stupid.. ### 1/5 — Bulb *2021-05-21* Bulb ### 1/5 — Zero stars. Doesn’t work. At All. *2020-11-12* Pointed directly at a small camera. It hit every reflection around the camera never once noticed the camera in the center of the screen. Tried multiple locations, lighting conditions cameras etc. Total waste of money, time and storage space. **Developer response:** Please contact Apple directly for refund. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-08-31* This doesn’t work at all. Are you supposed to have 3 arms? It says to hold an empty “toilet paper roll “, a flash light, and your phone to be able to use this app. It doesn’t even work doing what they said. Don’t waste your money. It says “if a light shines back at you it MIGHT be a camera”.... ### 1/5 — Total Garbage a waste of money *2020-08-21* The high ranking reviews are garbage, they charge an upfront payment just to get your money. Don’t buy it ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2020-07-15* It detects every electronic device.....I’ve done several tests and it doesn’t detect cameras. Waste of money. Don’t bother! ### 1/5 — Spy camera finder *2020-07-09* Absolute joke! It tell’s you everything is a spy camera! Utter waste of money! DO NOT BUY!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-06-22* Circles even on a piece of tissue paper and my leg... ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THIS APP!! IT’S A SCAM!! *2019-11-10, version 10.4* Paid $4 for this app and it is absolutely USELESS! If you turn all the lights off and its totally dark anywhere, even outside, all this app does is pick up the reflection of light sources. That is IT! Furthermore, if you read the positive reviews carefully, you will soon notice they are all fraud as well. They are written with poor English, likely from the maker of this app who is not American! Good luck and don't say I didn't warn you! Contacting the APPLE POLICE NOW!! **Developer response:** The app as stated in the description works by detecting the tiny specks of light generated by camera lenses. In addition the app has other means such as magnetic detector and Bluetooth scanner. For refunds please contact Apple. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2019-11-02* It’s useless, doesn’t pick up anything - I have iPhone XR. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super *2023-04-03* Suzy3333333 ### 5/5 — VIOLATED/EXPOSED/SHARED/STALKER/KILLER *2021-11-27, version 10.5* Love this App.!!!! FINALLY!!! 6 YEARS OF MAJOR/WHOLE NEW MEANING OF VIOLATED / MENTALITY CONTROLLED/Brain washed/ABUSIVE….. VERY SLOWLY OVER 34 years So DEVASTATED WHEN REALIZING HOW MY ENTIRE LIFE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A HUGE LIE… Never knowing my husband & NOW SERIOUSLY SCARED FOR MY LIFE! I have no one he has slowly broken all/ any relationships I had with my family who no longer talk to me! Turned kids & starting on grandkids slowly belittling me!😩😥 ### 5/5 — Is there possibly a camera hid here? *2021-10-04* Is there a camera here ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-08-17* Works ### 5/5 — Camera *2021-05-29* This is phone charger for the car aka car spy camera ### 5/5 — Great *2021-05-01* For more than just finding cameras. I have found the supernatural like to make an appearance! ### 5/5 — Gin gin 44 *2021-04-27* Awesome ### 5/5 — Spy camera detector *2020-11-10* Good app it’s free and does what it says ### 5/5 — How Do You Know If You Found Something *2020-10-25, version 10.5* Does The App Have A Siren Or A Tone To Let You Know If The Camera Device Is Found Is There A Found Alert Besides The Rate Bar. What Is A Good Rate To Know If You Come Across Something ### 5/5 — Hidden camera on apartment gate opener *2020-08-20, version 10.5* I’m suspicious from the voices coming out of devices that might have a camera on them in case they use an illegal document I suspect my own family to be using as along with other ways as I hear my ex best friend who is 35 years old is saying things curse words, words that I say to annoy me and repeat to cause me illegal emotional abuse 24/7. And I need proof. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
