CamFind - Visual Search Engine for Android
It takes a picture and gives you the most basic description that you can give yourself. I scanned a black lg phone and it said, "black android phone." Scanned my black, flat-screen computer and it said, "black, flat-screen computer." I'll give it to it for knowing it was a flat-screen and a computer (even though I already knew it) but it doesn't give extra info. Might be more useful for bug determination (if it can do that).
I am not impressed. Some results are good. But sometimes it identifies an item in the background or at the edge of the photo instead of the item I'm trying to identify. This seems to be driven by advertising opportunities rather than what's in the center of the photo. It did correctly identify a cantaloupe in the store, but it could identify a houseplant only as "green and yellow plant" rather than the kind of plant. Not helpful.
I just downloaded as the theory of this app is pretty awesome, but never fails, right after I take a photo and it starts searching the app closes and encounters an error. I have a Galaxy S7 all apps and the platform are up-to-date. Doesn't work. Would love to give 5 stars
Shame on you. Takes photo then instead of reading item outloud 50% of time goes straight to sales page of item and easy peasy low vision man makes purchase on amazon with just touching. Boo hiss. Bad
I was hoping it would give detailed information like the picture of the dog. "Brown and black miniature puncher" but nope. All I get was "gray tree" thank you captain obvious. I wanted to know what kind of tree it is and what kind of plant I scanned is. Lol. I scanned my face just to see what it would do and it read "man's face."
Nice to play but not really useful. Searched a kiwi fruit and got me some syrup. There is no true image search. It just find some labels in the pictures and then use the labels to search for products. I wanted a body for my kid (same drawing but a larger size) well, it got me some weird sites for car parts.
I installed this twice.I thought maybe it had gotten better. It never gives me the correct answer for a picture, in fact it's always WAY OFF. It doesn't matter how great the picture is either. This time it won't even let me select an image from gallery without causing the whole app to close. Uninstall
Insists on making an annoying noise when you take a picture, to the point where it will unmute your phone to do it. No way to turn it off.
I took a photo of something complicated and it knew! I find this a very good app for anyone who doesn't know what the name of the thing is that you want to buy. The best app out of all the ones I've tried!
I want it to identify objects. It falls flat on that. It calls things "containers" and invites me to shop for them. I want to know what the darn thing is!
Meh! I agree w/the other reviews, it does basic, vague, identify i.e., black, metal, object. I tried(3x) to capture a unique poster of Marylin Monroe, as I've never seen this particular shot of her. I just kept getting a Red Refresh symbol to the right of my captured pic. ↓Uninstalling, it's not worth the valuable phone space it's taking up.
This app accurately identified , what it called a " yellow one eyed, plastic alien toy", also a "brown, and black wooden owl sculpture"!!!!!!! Don't take a picture of your wienerwith this, it may get sent to a data center, in china India, for identification?
Wow. This app is incredible accurate. I uploaded some really vague photos from my gallery and it got every single one even when I could barely tell what it was!
For me this has been the greatest "find" of any app. I can't stop taking pics of all my things that I have wondered about but didn't know how to find any answers. Love it !!!
Was trying to identify a type of tree. The app said it was a brown log. Worthless app. Deleted!!
I have tried to find quite a bit of things, but it can never find them. Most of the time the searches come up with nothing even close to what the item or image is.
I'm holding an ancient tribal stone carving. I took a picture of it with CamFind.... which figured out that it was "Beige, Concrete and Stone". Really? Wow. UNINSTALLED
I took a picture of my yellow bellied slider turtle and took a picture of it. Then it said it was a black and brown turtle. This app needs more improvement. And my turtle is not even black or brown . I took a clear picture
Every time I open the app it says there's a network error and I need to connect my data Network or Wi-Fi but I'm connected to both I can't even open the app and use it THIS APP BITES
Worthless. It only identifies something if it had worrying on it and it wouldn't scan a barcode. Uninstalling
It just gives a color description of the picture. I guess if you're colorblind it'd be cool.
I would really like to go to the developers and know how is it all done so accurately?__/__
The best app I have ever used. My camera is even low quality and it worked great. 10******
Couldn't identify any of them. I give you 3 stars for effort.
I'm connected to Wi-Fi and it still says no internet connection and I cannot use it.
Seriously, why does it always play that stupid sound even I have turned it off?
App is pretty pointless. I expected that if I showed it a picture of a city next to water it would tell me the name of the city. nope, it just tells you "body of water"
Can't open due to network connection error message, I have full network connection but app cannot see this, uninstalling
This is so bad. Totally useless. Virtually everything looks like a "black metal bedframe" or a 'Gray tarp" to this useless app. Even a light fixture! lol
When I take a picture of a QR code it tells me that it's a QR code but will not take me to the link for the QR code.
Awesome! Very useful will recondmend this app to people oh wait I already did...Thanks to the creator (s)...
It predict right things but all plants species are not identify by it why please improve this thing
It will not register my wifi or data connection. Will not allow me to use the app. NOT DOWNLOADING AGAIN!
Fantastic App. Free and super easy to use...LOVE IT!!!
Would be better if there was a way to send feedback if info incorrect.
All it does is look at an image and state what it's colours are and roughly what it is
This character recognition engine is great. Really matches image's like a human would. By comparison.
Its very slow and take a while when you search for something
Nice, but it keeps turning my volume down and I can't hear it clearly. I turn it back and ever time it turns it back down ??

I don't write reviews often but this impressed me. While sitting at a high school game I installed Google Google's and tried it on four items - my shoe, my keys. My tile key finder, and my over the ear buds. Goggles failed on all four. This app however, very quickly identified all of them correctly and brought up a site for each. It didn't get the Tile brand right, but did know it was a key chain. It did not get the exact ear buds but that's pretty tricky when there are no visible brand markers. But it brought up my exact shoes if I wanted to buy them again. That was very effective and useful.
