Honestly, I love the concept of this app but haven't seen it's true potential thoroughly.I say that mainly bc it manages on focusing on something in the picture but not the main focal point. For example I placed something on my knee to look into, and it brings up "June bug" that's barely in the format, I just rather enjoy it and get a laugh. So I can basically tell you "it likes to remind me of the minute things, we take for granted". In the digital age you got to slow down and don't forget...

I use this mo fo several times, and I mean several, everyday. it's all about how good the pictures you've taken are, if you take good shots, you get useful results to identify the origin or maker or price of any item. don't get me wrong, there have been two separate occasions when I couldn't find the item through the lens results, one of those times I could not make lens understand that the item was like the item pictured but had a small barely detectable difference. it's truly the best.

Lens is just the slickest little app for finding out what something is. A painting? No problem. Likewise a tree, flower or other plant. I don't use it all that often, but its never failed to give me data to work with. It can't necessarily distinguish between a photo and an original painting, but it's pretty good at recognizing the artist's signature.

My go to app for looking things up with a picture!! After taking your picture you can ask any question about it that you want to know. Occasionally you have to search the results a little more but mostly it's right on point. Lens has definitely helped me out abundantly! From ideas on home remodeling to help with homework and anything in between! Even identified a poisonous snake!! A great tool to have in your toolbox!!

Best app ever. I use it to search anything. To identify almost anything. Coins, flowers, rocks, cars, buildings, products in store or online. Even the prices of items plus where to find them and it gives info on things you lens. You can translate languages or have it read aloud the text on screen. It will do your homework. I even us it to bust scammers on FB. It's not as easy to use with Reddit as you have to download the pic. Just improve facial rec on normal people and it be near perfect.
