4.7★
App Store rating
Across 1M+searches. Rating sourced from the Apple App Store, where reviews are verified by Apple — we don't self-score.
In their words.
A selection of genuine reviews. We feature positives here, but we never hide the negatives — the full distribution lives on the App Store.
“Matched his photo to two accounts he swore didn't exist. Saved me months.”
“Found the original owner of a profile picture in under a minute. Catfish confirmed.”
“I just wanted peace of mind before meeting someone. I got a clear answer.”
Honest by policy, not by accident.
Reviews matter most in a sensitive category, so we hold to the FTC Fake Reviews Rule: we never fabricate, AI-generate, or buy reviews, and we don't suppress negative ones or pass off a hand-picked positive subset as the whole story.
Our star rating is the real App Store rating, where Apple verifies the reviewers — not a number we assign ourselves. That's also why you won't find a self-hosted star widget on this page.
