Verdict is an iPhone app that analyzes photos and videos for signs of AI generation. It works offline, requires no account, and keeps scans on the device; Apple's photo picker means selecting a file does not expose the whole library. For photos, it combines an AI-detection model, camera metadata, and sensor noise, then returns a 0–100 score with a breakdown. Videos are assessed from 15 sampled frames, using the median result.
Help Net Security's reviewer tested the app on several photos and one video. A garden image scored 51% real, another image was marked 72% AI-generated, and a house photo scored 100% real. The evidence screen showed where checks agreed or disagreed. The video test was less reassuring: the reviewer's own concert footage was labeled 100% AI-generated, with all 15 frames classified as AI, even though the same screen identified the file as camera-captured video. The review could not determine whether concert lighting, movement, video processing, or something else caused the error.
Verdict is therefore best treated as an initial screening tool, especially for private media, rather than a definitive authority. The single hands-on review highlights that a confident automated score can still be wrong, so source and context remain important before accepting a verdict.
