Alakazam is here to help you locate original social media content from short-form clips, with little context of the source video.
Intended Use
The intended use is for you to share a link with the Alakazam app whenever you want to find the original video a clip was taken from. You can paste or share links from YouTube.
YouTube links do not have to be Shorts. A ten-minute clip is often itself an excerpt of a much longer podcast or interview, and Alakazam will look for that longer video too.
Disclaimer
The aim is for Alakazam to point you directly to the exact piece of content you are looking for, but please note that Alakazam is very much still a work in progress - and the results are not always correct.
Plans and Billing
Searching requires an Alakazam subscription — Standard or Premium, each available monthly or yearly. New subscribers get a free trial first; the length and the price are both shown on the purchase screen before you commit. Each subscription includes a number of searches per week, resetting every Monday, and keeps your search history for a period of days; Premium includes more of both, and the purchase screen shows exactly what each includes. There is also a fair-use limit on how many searches you can start in a short period. To move between plans, go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your device. We may change what a subscription includes and will tell you in advance — the details are in the Terms of Service.
Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. To cancel, open Settings on your device, tap your name, then Subscriptions — the same place you manage every other App Store subscription. Cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep access until the period you have paid for runs out.
Apple takes the payment, not us, so refunds go through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. If you already paid on another device or reinstalled the App, use Restore on the purchase screen to get your subscription back.
Something wrong with a payment, or not sure what you were charged for? Write to us at support@alakazamapp.com and we will look into it.
Deleting Your Data
You do not need to sign in to use Alakazam — the App creates an account for you, identified only by an account ID. To have that account and your search history deleted, email us at support@alakazamapp.com with your account ID, which you can find and copy at the bottom of this page in the App. A message sent through Contact support in the App includes it automatically.
Deleting your data does not cancel a subscription. Cancel it in your device settings first, or Apple will keep charging you.
