Confusing

I tried this with the image recognition but kept getting an error code. Not to mention it’s one of the most confusing apps I’ve ever seen.

A great concept, needs some work

First, I can imagine that creating the database behind the app must have taken an enormous amount of work. I imagine that in time this will be an irreplaceable tool for the field archaeologist studying Roman pottery. However, some improvements need to be made to the user interface, so it can be used more effectively. I would also suggest increasing the amount of information available within the app. For example, more description under each individual conspectus form, and a more robust database of stamps(Arretine Sigillata).Looking forward to future updates!
