### 2/5 — Not Right Once

*2023-02-07, version 1.01*

It said my parlor palm was an umbrella. My cat was a napkin. I could go on but you get the idea.

### 2/5 — This app was pointless.

*2020-11-17, version 1.01*

I am giving it 2 stars only because we were cracking up at what it was calling things. It wasn’t even close to recognizing simple things. (Ex. A ketchup bottle was called a whistle. A Parmesan Cheese shaker was called a spotlight.)

### 5/5 — Worked as I thought it would work.

*2019-12-03, version 1.01*

Sure, this app isn’t anything special, like telling the model of a light bulb or something. This app works really well, but it’s not too specific, and I understand that. It’s just pretty fun just having it out. I really just like using it. Cool interface and many other cool features.

### 2/5 — Don’t get

*2019-01-16, version 1.01*

Yeah about 30% of the time it works I don’t recommend it, It tells you weird answers. Don’t get it it’s not worth it but if you want to fart around go ahead.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-09-26, version 1.01*

I love the app, and its mostly accurate! Its funny when its wrong though 😁

### 1/5 — Fails

*2017-09-21, version 1.0*

Good idea but failed with a bunch of stuff got nothing right so far been useing for 10mins said a candle was a organ said a clock was a pan. Said my foot was a spoon

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2017-09-21, version 1.0*

With lighting, it works almost impeccably. It doesn't pick up specific things all the time, but its extremely useful for me quite often. I love the voice software as well. 

Absolutely amazing that it can pick up just an image and link it!

### 5/5 — Works much better than I expected

*2017-09-21, version 1.0*

As titles states

### 4/5 — Cool idea, but not very practical

*2017-09-20, version 1.0*

The app is fun to play around with, but there isn’t much use for it in the real world. I would say it guesses the right thing 50% of the time, and that’s being generous. I didn’t really expect a lot from this app, so I won’t be overly negative. Again it’s a cool idea and I hope more features/uses are integrated into it.

### 5/5 — ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

*2017-09-20, version 1.0*
