### 5/5 — Da Bombs

*2025-09-24, version 1.4.8*

Best non-functional app up in here

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2024-03-05, version 1.4.8*

Last update was 6 years ago. I went to use it today March 5 l, 2024 and it pixilated my image with no search results. Shame really.

### 1/5 — Used to be the best

*2023-10-18, version 1.4.8*

I would be able to find the most obscure photos around, and now I can’t find anything at all. It’s clear it’s not being maintained, which is a shame. The person running it was clearly very talented. I hope it get ls fixed one day, I’d love to give it another go

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2021-12-22, version 1.4.8*

This app used to be fantastic years ago but it no longer works at all. I’m surprised it’s allowed to be on the App Store now that it no longer functions

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work anymore.

*2021-11-14, version 1.4.8*

It just says “no similar images found,” even if I submit a super common photo.

### 1/5 — Sheba

*2021-06-27, version 1.4.8*

This app is not worth downloading. 
I did some screenshots from Google but to test it but it says no other images are similar. Deletimg app now.........👇

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work anymore

*2021-03-13, version 1.4.8*

It used to do a decent job but it seems like it’s been a while since it even works at all. Famous sculpture images and it has no clue. Porn images not so much. It used to work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. Developer email false

*2021-01-15, version 1.4.8*

Veracity doesn’t work. I downloaded images from ordinary websites and the app couldn’t find them

### 1/5 — Used to be so good 👎🏻

*2020-12-04, version 1.4.8*

This used to be the BEST app for finding the source of photos. I see that they haven’t updated it in THREE years 🙄 just crashes every time you open it. Off to find something else.

### 1/5 — Waste of time. App does nothing.

*2020-07-24, version 1.4.8*

I purchased to do a reverse search, clicked “allow access” and it let me look an my photo... 2 options were:
<Verscity (which is back to menu)
Delete (yep you guessed it, that button deletes) wasted my time but chasing and now reviewing. App has probably sold my personals off already...
