CamFind 17+

Has not been updated in ages and it is a shame because this app is gorgeous with great performance. That is the only reason I gave it 3 stars. Based upon design and speed it would be a 5 star rating. It should probably be a 1 star rating because it doesn’t work but I love the design and speed of it so I can’t justify that. There is a data issue that prevents you from doing much. And the searches you are able to make don’t yield much in terms of results, rendering this virtually useless it seems.

This blew my mind, it even recognized a contemporary abstract painting by an unknown artist that hangs in our apartment as an abstract painting, whereas other image-recognition software I’ve tried out either just gives up or gets weird/obscure ones like that hilariously wrong. It even detected that a generic black sweater I was wearing in a photo was a man’s sweater (my boyfriend’s; I’m a girl), though I guess it saw I was a girl and switched the results to “woman” at the last moment. Anyway I’m really impressed. Great tool for consumers and those just generally curious about the objects around them in the world.

Recently I was trying to search a specific object. So I searched the Apple App Store and discovered "CamFind". This App unfortunately could not specifically pinpoint my object which ended up being a roofing nail that is actually used in a roofing nail gun. However I started using the App which utilizes your phone camera to identify other things and it is about 98-99% full proof, right down to make and model numbers. It also gives you places where items are purchased. It can be absolutely amazing and extremely handy.
