### 4/5 — Super high quality scanner, would recommend!

*2026-08-03, version 13.50.1*

It can find me in photos I can’t even find myself in, and sends me these super-cute happy notifications!

### 5/5 — Camp photos

*2026-07-25, version 13.50.1*

Waldo is amazing at recognizing faces in pictures. It is enjoyable to have the pictures curated so I don’t have to look through the gallery. What a priceless way to remember my children’s experience at camp.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-07-21, version 13.50.0*

So happy this software exist! It’s great!

### 5/5 — Great Seeing Granddaughter

*2026-07-17, version 13.50.0*

Love seeing my Granddaughter at all her activities as well as with her friends!

### 3/5 — Camp Loyaltown

*2026-07-16, version 13.49.3*

Camera isn’t highlighting my camper

### 5/5 — Works great!!

*2026-07-14, version 13.49.3*

My son’s summer camp uses this & I’m amazed at how well the app identifies all the pictures my son is in

### 5/5 — WHAT THIS MAMA HEART NEEDS!

*2026-07-09, version 13.49.2*

I love this App I love going to it and finding immediate pictures of my children at camp so I know they are having a great time!! I love not having to look through hundreds of pictures to find my children.

### 5/5 — Great App, Easy to Use

*2026-07-02, version 13.49.0*

This was so much better than other camp photo systems we’ve used before and it has been so accurate in finding our kiddo. Great photos and easy to use. The updates are fun and I don’t have to guess when new photos are shared. I didn’t mind the small fee especially for the photo quality and since some of it went to the program we were supporting anyway.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-01, version 13.49.0*

I love this app! My kids’ summer camp used it for their photos and it was awesome. I loved every time the little notifications came through saying it found another pic of my camper having a blast. The facial recognition is very accurate.

### 5/5 — Grandma

*2026-06-29, version 13.49.0*

Pics are like sharing her fun with her!

### 5/5 — WOW its cool

*2026-06-27, version 13.49.0*

Amazing how it picks out your persons of interest. Hopefully they will incorporate AI and make it better. Always room ch or improvement like identifying yours in a crowd or group.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-06-23, version 13.48.0*

I love that this app can use facial recognition software to be able to spot people in crowds and from distances to capture memories and events!

### 5/5 — This app is great!

*2026-06-22, version 13.48.0*

Love getting notified about new photos of my kids!

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-19, version 13.48.0*

Love this app

### 2/5 — Not Finding Photos

*2026-06-18, version 13.48.0*

Why do we only upload one photo of ourselves for Waldo to use? It seems to make it take incredibly difficult for him to find all photos. I think it would be great to be able to use three of four photos to help it identify photos from different angles.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-06-15, version 13.47.0*

Awesome AI

### 4/5 — A work-in-progress

*2026-06-15, version 13.47.0*

The best feature of this APP is the facial recognition capability.  My son was at ‘Sleep-Away’ camp and the camp staff posted many pictures of the campers on WALDO.  The APP tagged the photos that included our kid and a neighbor’s kid.  Specifically the WALDO APP tagged almost all of the photos of my neighbor’s kid who is white.  Unfortunately, the APP only tagged about half of the photos of our son who is black.  So, WALDO has some work to do.

### 1/5 — Missing photos

*2026-07-14, version 13.49.3*

I paid $30 for the facial recognition and alerts for my daughter who is away at camp. The app only found 2/5 images. I found the others by searching   Manually, essentially rendering the upgrade void. No customer service contact info for help. DO NOT UPGRADE

### 1/5 — What happened??

*2026-07-09, version 13.49.2*

This app used to work great until this year. Something changed with their AI technology and nothing is matching up and not getting any notifications anymore! They will not acknowledge that anything has changed and just keep instructing me to manually tag. That is not what I am paying g for!

### 1/5 — Telling family members I shared photos with they have to pay

*2026-06-16, version 13.47.0*

Unbelievable! My son is at special needs camp and this company is doing the photos. I paid for the facial recognition. I went to share photos and saw they had a share option so gave Waldo their phone numbers so they could view photos. My sister called me to tell me not only did it make her download the app, she had to create an account, then when she clicked the view photos button it demanded she pay or would not let her view the photos. So basically instead of sharing with my family I’ve unintentionally hit them all up for cash to view photos of my son.

### 1/5 — 0 stars

*2025-07-03, version 13.30.0*

Where’s the 0 star option?  My son’s summer camp pushed this but it never identified pictures of him.  It doesn’t work, didn’t delete when I selected “delete” and I’m waiting for my $70 back.  Please reimburse now so the camp doesn’t have to cut their contract with you.

### 1/5 — Wrong images

*2024-12-18, version 13.23.1*

We received images of another child along with ours yesterday and today they took away pictures of our child. Now we are just left with pictures of another child unfortunately. Really disappointed.

### 1/5 — Wrong event with no one to contact

*2024-07-30, version 13.17.3*

My "Waldo" $15 waste of money account is on the wrong week / event and no way to switch. Don't know these kids, what a scam.

### 1/5 — Absurd looping

*2024-07-30, version 13.17.3*

Created account, it sent me in absurd loops despite me having all credentials & being advanced app user. Gave up & deleted.

### 1/5 — Terrible app!

*2024-07-18, version 13.17.1*

This app is not worth the money - most of the notifications I get telling me new photos are available aren’t even photos of my child. I’ve sent multiple messages to them and it hasn’t helped. Don’t pay extra for this app!

### 1/5 — App way to complicated

*2024-07-11, version 13.17.0*

Just want access to YMCA Camp Jewel Summer 2024!!!

### 1/5 — Error when sending a postcard

*2024-06-05, version 13.11.0*

Can’t send post card

*2026-07-31, version 13.50.1*

I think the camp is a wonderful thing for kids. My son has this is third time there and he served one year and he loves it. I think it’s a great opportunity to get to know the Lord amen.
