Mirage - Detect Image Editing 12+

App Kind of Works Now, but Now I Have To Pay More Money?

I was an early adopter of the app and paid a one time fee to purchase the app and all of its features. Initially, the app didn’t really work all that well, but what the developer was trying to do seemed pretty cool so I wanted to support it. What the developer is doing now isn’t very cool. The developer has changed the policy to a subscription model so now I have to pay for things I owned before. There is no option for me to restore my purchase and I was never offered a refund when the policy changed. Due to this practice, I can’t recommend the app to anyone. Pretty shady practice of promising one thing and then pulling the rug out from under early adopters. I’ve tried contacting the developer to try to resolve this, but his contact us page leads to a dead link.

Hi rod.x,

We are giving away an year of free subscription to people who bought the app. If you could contact us at the support email we would gladly provide you with the same.

It’s a scam

I downloaded this knowing it wouldn’t work and there would be micro transactions at some point. I first put in an obviously edited photo, and it told me “22% light edited photo, PAY NOW TO SEE EDITS?!” At first I was kind of convinced, because I was like wow maybe it did detect it. So for reasoning purposes, I put in a regular photo just taken with absolutely no edits. The app then proceeds to tell me that it is “33% EXTREMELY EDITED PHOTO” then prompted me to pay again. I kept putting in normal different photos and every time is was a different answer.

So - save the room on your device and don’t download this waste of time.

Great start!

Really great idea! Some UI feedback, Something to indicate no editing was found. It’s confusing to say “here are the change” and then not display anything. The toggle button on the changes page isn’t intuitive and I don’t know what it does until I tap it. As other said on reddit, some type of share sheet action would be nice, or maybe an auto crop feature, at least for Instagram screenshots.

A+ for going to single purchase. I would not have subscribed to this but would and did happily pay a couple bucks for it.
