TraffickCam enables you to help combat sex trafficking by uploading photos of the hotel rooms you stay in when you travel. Traffickers regularly post photographs of their victims posed in hotel rooms for online advertisements. These photographs are evidence that can be used to find and prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes. In order to use these photos, however, analysts must be able to determine where the photos were taken. The purpose of TraffickCam is to create a database of hotel room images that an analyst can efficiently search, in order to find other images that were taken in the same location as an image that is part of an inquiry.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iVe holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TraffickCam has 94 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of TraffickCam's written reviews are positive against 0% of iVe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TraffickCam ships an update every 6 months, iVe every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 28, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
