### 1/5 — The only thing that works are the ads

*2020-05-15, version 1.4.8*

The most recent reviews have been poor and the last review is a year old. Here's an update if you're looking for one: it doesn't work.

I was looking for a way to reverse image search on my phone. I downloaded this app and some others. I think this app may be abandoned.

I've had success with Reversee. It's worked for memes and clothing. I'm not sure if it's the best app for iOS but try that before this.

### 1/5 — Stopped working at all

*2020-04-29, version 1.4.8*

This app has stopped working 100%. It does not work at all. I don’t understand how you can have an app in the App Store that doesn’t do anything. It is a complete waste of time. Do not install this app if you actually want to search for images that are similar to those on your phone. If you do you will be sadly disappointed. It doesn’t do anything.

### 1/5 — Broken for months now

*2020-03-26, version 1.4.8*

Used to be super quick and easy. But the past few months it just doesn’t work. No results ever. Would be great if they got it back up and running again.

### 1/5 — a little disappointed :-(

*2019-11-12, version 1.4.8*

this app was amazing when i first started using it. i could use it to easily identify famous people and such, but it stopped working. now, it can’t identify anything; even basic stock photos or logos will not work...

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-09-11, version 1.4.8*

Literally never finds anything.

### 1/5 — Stopped working like it used to

*2019-07-19, version 1.4.8*

Does not bring back even very basic images. If you try Google reverse images search on a computer, it works. This app doesn't.

### 1/5 — From 5 to 1 star. Useless now.

*2019-06-26, version 1.4.8*

Don’t bother. This app was great when I started using it and for months... nothing. Does anyone have a site to check for frauds on dating sites.

### 1/5 — Worthless!!

*2019-06-25, version 1.4.8*

Don’t waste your time. This app couldn’t find a stock pic on the internet if it hit the developer square in the head.

### 3/5 — Great app, crashes EVERY TIME, tho

*2019-03-26, version 1.4.8*

Has not stopped crashing in a year, but i still use it. Did they stop updating it?

### 1/5 — Use to be awesome

*2019-03-01, version 1.4.8*

This app use to work great and would let you Decatur a fake every time. Now it has zero results and always comes up as no match, even if I’ve tested right from a picture from google image. Shame it was awesome, but as they say all good things must come to an end.

### 1/5 — Worthless junk

*2019-02-10, version 1.4.8*

Doesn’t recognize any photos of celebrities taken right off an image search. Assuming it’s just scamware stealing data.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2019-02-06, version 1.4.8*

Mate, if your app doesn’t work any more, or you no longer support it, take it off the site... it doesn’t work, I’ve tried all sorts of images, some taken straight from websites, and it never works at all. It used to, but not longer. Don’t waste your time downloading it.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2019-02-05, version 1.4.8*

Crashes and not good enough

### 1/5 — Literally Unusable

*2019-01-24, version 1.4.8*

This app did a fairly decent job at finding images when I first downloaded it (almost 2 years ago). unfortunately, it’s been pretty useless for quite a while now. It won’t search anything you upload. If you stumble upon this review, don’t even bother wasting your time with this app. Just use your browser or look for another app.

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2019-01-07, version 1.4.8*

This app has most likely been abandoned.

It used to find images and now regardless of what image you upload it has no matches.
I get a lot of friend requests from fake accounts on Facebook.

Using Google Reverse Image Search you will be able to find matches on the profile photos but this app will not find them.

### 1/5 — Used to be a great thing

*2018-12-19, version 1.4.8*

It’s been a year since the last update, so I’m pretty certain that this is abandonware. Used to be great for sourcing artwork shared on social media without artist credit, but now opening links crashes the app. 

I hope all is well with the creator, but don’t waste your time downloading.

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2018-12-11, version 1.4.8*

It used to be good, but nowadays it’s literally useless. I put a picture of the Statue of Liberty and it didn’t recognize it, c’mon.

### 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...

### 1/5 — Great App BUT:

*2020-05-28, version 1.4.8*

They stopped updating it so it doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Da Bombs

*2025-09-24, version 1.4.8*

Best non-functional app up in here

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2019-05-14, version 1.4.8*

I deal with vintage things, nice to have the help.

### 5/5 — broken now

*2018-12-26, version 1.4.8*

it was perfect but seems that something on background it's broken since the app doesn't work anymore. please fix if possible  
greetings from Albania

### 5/5 — Unique

*2018-04-07*

It has a clean interphase and has come so handy. One of those you keep aside in case of an emergency

### 5/5 — Crazy Good!

*2017-09-26*

This app has identified pictures that I took of old posters, random car decals, and an old tool I had never seen. Fun and useful.

### 5/5 — Quick and easy!

*2017-09-20*

Best reverse-image search app I've used. Quick and easy, not cluttered with useless things. Also let's me pick which browser I want to open the results in.

### 5/5 — Must have

*2017-04-24*

I've used this app many many times now to check the source of photos and not get fooled by fake news! Don't get embarrassed by posting and sharing fake news.

### 5/5 — A Must!

*2017-04-23*

I downloaded this and assumed I would use it as a one time gig for a picture somewhat sent me. I've used it ever since! If you need an app to background check pictures, this is the one!

### 5/5 — You gotta get it...

*2017-04-10*

...is what I'd be saying if it hadn't failed in finding a match for professionally photographed stock images of 3 simple items with unique but very determinate physical characteristics.  Mushroom?  Nope.  Goldfish?  Nope.  Rose? Nope.  I stopped trying after that.  Very clean, though.  A lot of curb appeal but no value in substance based on my trial.  3 strikes.  All apps get 3 strikes.  Try it yourself.  This is just a review based upon one persons experience.

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-04-06*

A few things i got off google didn't work but for the most part it works very well.
