Archie: Identify Architecture

Archie 3.16 has new designs for almost every screen. • Results: your photo fills the screen with the building's name on it, and the page slides up over it. The story comes in chapters, with one player for all of it and a play button on each chapter. It keeps playing with your screen locked, with controls on the lock screen, and a ring fills on the play button while the audio is being prepared. • Identifying features: the photo stays in view while you scroll, and each feature is ringed and zoomed in turn, with a card that explains it. • Questions: "still curious?" suggests questions about the building, its style and its architect, and with Archie Unlimited you can ask your own. • Feedback: when a result is off, you can say what's wrong, including the identifying features. • Sharing: new cards sized for Instagram Stories and posts, and Messages adds a link to Archie. • Library: your newest shot up front, then your shots by month, style, architect or city. Search filters as you type, and every card opens its result in one tap. • LifeList: a drawing for each of the 146 styles, grouped by era, your latest finds, and the 50 architects you can spot. • Map: black points, filters for landmarks, hidden gems and the places you've collected, and place pages laid out like a result, with the story to listen to and a link to your own photo of a place you've collected. A place page opens half-way, so the point you tapped stays in view. • Plans: a new Archie Unlimited sheet with the same two plans: a yearly plan that starts with a 7-day free trial, and a one-time lifetime unlock. • Stories keep playing when the narration voice is slow: your iPhone's own voice reads that part, and the narrator comes back as soon as it can. • The scan screen shows the archie name above your photo, and two Settings answers are shorter.
