Useless app
very expensive currencies do not define a person,
Not accurate at all
Used it twice and it does not work. Can’t even find myself with this app even with a very clean picture. Not worth downloading
Incompatible to My Screen
i can’t even pick a subscription because the options are cropped out my screen
🤦♂️
Paying 5 dollars for 1 scan and then your most likely not gonna find the person you were looking for
Got it wrong
Used my own face and it turned me Indian
Ts dont work
For some reason it said I can find someone but it told me to pay PAY
Bad
Horrible let me redeem more then one code you tea towel
Crashes
Every time I go to search a photo the app crashes, I’ve already paid but the app doesn’t work
Nothing like what you see on X
Completely falsely advertised on X. This app will show you someone’s celeb lookalike at best. Do NOT pay any $ for this. Pimeyes is much much better
to much
this app is making you spend all of your money don’t pay
What a scam
I paid, I used this app seeing it on a TikTok thinking it would be something cool to prank my friends or even just to see how good AI has gotten. It’s $5 for one search or $8 a week for 3. I used 2 searches, they both miserably failed and I didn’t even bother using the third. Very disappointed that I wasted my money
illegal app
don’t download steals ur info
Bad
Does not work at all
Poorly developed
A lot of the buttons straight up don’t work. I got to the screen where you choose a subscription and it literally doesn’t let me pay. I selected the one week option but there’s nothing at all to click to pay. Unusable
It is not accurate
Tried it out with a simple photo and it gave me a bunch of other random people as a result. Was not accurate at all
Not accurate AT all
Isn’t a Great source wasted my money
Horrible
Does not work at all
paywall slop
paywall slop with survey questions before you meet the paywall to farm data out of you for 9 dollars a week which is about 30 bucks a month for some garbage u can use for free on google images
Farce
This product doesn’t work. Just use a reverse image search on google or get PimEyes. This spit out a bunch of cartoon images. Overpriced and gives very few results. Not worth it, better products exist for better prices.
Can’t share my code
I wasn’t able to share my code . It keeps saying that my invite code isn’t valid.
Don’t waste your money it’s fake
It can’t find anyone, maybe celebrities but it won’t find people
Can’t even slide one free search to see if it works? Crazy.

THE REVIEWS ARE BOTTED
Don’t download this app it has fake reviews
bruh what the scam
honestly disappoint :(
It’s amazing but just give me some credits holy shi
I just want credits
This app is terrible
Money grab would not recommend. Bad ai tracking, have to pay for the subscription and then on top have to pay for coins to do its job and even after that 1 coin is 5$ free coins invite 3 people who would have to pay that subscription as well. Go to he’ll. Do not recommend
Fake asf
Faaaaaaaaaaake
Waste of money
None of my results were accurate. Don’t waste your money, wish I could get mine back.
It’s a scam !!!
It only gives you 15 face scan if you pay monthly 19$. And also it doesn’t show you exactly who the person is .. please don’t fal for it
Don’t waste your time
After you subscribe, you only get 15 credits which is literally only 15 searches. Then to buy credits.. 1 credit is 5 BUCKS. 5 BUCKS FOR 1 SEARCH. This is the best way to let people stop using your app. I used 3 other website and apps that charged me $30 for 500 searches. FIVE HUNDRED.
Need moneys
Bro this app 5 dollar for one search, 100 dollars for 50 search, its crazy
Scam
They gave me free credit when I used the app it didn’t work
Shi
Dog water
Doesn’t work don’t buy
Bought the monthly subscription tried searching up a face and it keeps kicking me off the app will try and refund if possible (yeah closed app and restarted phone still didn’t work)
Scam
Does not work, waste of $9..
Sad
Gotta pay first can’t even get a free search to see if it works first🤣
Terrible app
I genuinely don’t understand how this app has the ratings it does. I would put a 0 star if there was an option. Sherlock AI is frustrating to use from start to finish. The responses are often inaccurate, repetitive, or completely miss the point of what you’re asking. It feels like the AI guesses more than it actually understands.
The app itself is clunky, slow, and filled with unnecessary limitations. Features that should be basic are locked behind a paywall, and even then the experience doesn’t improve much. Crashes, bugs, and inconsistent performance make it feel unfinished.
There are so many better AI apps available that are faster, smarter, and actually useful. Sherlock AI feels like a cheap imitation that’s more interested in getting your money than providing a quality product. I regret downloading it and definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Terrible app
It literally doesn’t work. I have a very heavy social media presence and it couldn’t even find me. Half of the recommended accounts were just links to 18+ video sites. Not worth the money, literally useless.
Fake
I tried the single search for $5. Used a good quality photo of myself, the same photo I use on Insta and Twitter. It came back with a bunch of bot accounts with cartoon pictures and 49% confidence. FAKE
The coins
Each coin is 4.99$ which is too expensive and they are so hard to get because not many people want to use your code
The price
Why is the app free but the app includes something for me to pay for
Used my free coin and it got it wrong
Got all matches incorrect
