What's New in Archie

July 22, 2026

Archie 3.0 is a complete rebuild: the app I always wanted to make. • Point your camera at any building and identify its architectural style from a catalog of 100 • See the visible features that signal the style, explained in plain language on every result • Recognized landmarks include the building's name, architect, and history • NEW: the LifeList: collect all 100 styles as you spot them in the wild • NEW: your Library: every save keeps the photo and full analysis, readable offline • Offline capture queue for spotty connections, share cards for your best finds • 5 free identifications included: Archie Unlimited removes the limit

Please fix. I used this app a ton and learned so much of different architectural styles. Now unusable.

Hi, I’m so glad you enjoyed the app! I’ve rebuilt it and would love your feedback. Unfortunately it’s not free to run, so you’ll need a subscription for unlimited use, but new users get 5 free identifications.

It won’t work for road trips

As someone passionate about architecture, I was excited to use this app to learn more about the history of the places I’ll be visiting on my road trip. However, when I tried to explore multiple buildings, I encountered a network error preventing me from accessing the information. Despite this issue, I truly love the concept of the app and believe in its potential. I’m giving it 5 stars because I appreciate the idea and encourage others with similar interests to give it a try. I really hope this issue can be addressed soon.
