Especially if it is available in western hemisphere app stores. ### 2/5 — Not very precise *2017-06-22, version 1.4* This App doesn't work as well as it claims to do. It analyses only the colour of what your camera focuses; so if you hold your camera onto a brown wooden dining table the app suggests foods like bread, chocolate cake, cinnamon canes etc... it needs a lot of improvement. ### 1/5 — author trying to make a quick money grab *2017-05-29, version 1.4* this isnt the app from silicon valley tv show. it's an app that costs money to use. what a faker ### 1/5 — My dog is not pizza *2017-05-28, version 1.4* This app thought my dog was pizza. She is not, she is a good girl. ### 1/5 — Don't get it *2017-05-28, version 1.4* It's not that good to use because when I put it on my nachos it did nothing except say keep it still! Don't get it ### 1/5 — It's 120mb of bloated nothing *2017-05-25, version 1.4* Really, it could not tell the difference between hot dog and fried rice. Sad! ### 1/5 — Not Free *2017-05-24, version 1.3* In order for it to recognize ANYTHING you have to pay to unlock. Given the first review, I don't think I'll do that. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2017-05-24, version 1.3* It said my banana is edamame ### 1/5 — No. Stop jumping on Silicon Valley. *2017-05-24, version 1.3* Not from the show. Shame on you developer. ### 1/5 — Very poor. *2017-05-23, version 1.3* I showed it the floor and it said it was baclava. I showed it a hotdog and it said it was chocolate cake and tiramisu. Don't pay to unlock anything for this app. It lies and so does the developer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is a scam *2019-03-06, version 1.5* This is a deception. Don’t get it. I deleted it within 1 minute ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2018-05-26, version 1.5* Waste of money. 100% guesswork ### 1/5 — Scamware *2018-04-05, version 1.5* Download for free but only good for pizza and pasta when click on more foods you gotta pay ### 1/5 — Poor recognition *2017-09-12, version 1.5* Unable to recognize simple fruits. ### 1/5 — Visual food and calorie count *2017-08-20, version 1.5* In a word: worthless. Don't waste your money (and once you start the free edition it comes at you so fast i spent $3.99 somehow and have no idea how or for what. It's a scam. Forget this tensorflow!!! I deleted it. It's junk. ### 1/5 — Scam *2017-07-12, version 1.4* Steals £2 from you, barely works, not the one from the tv show. ### 1/5 — Not Hot Dog *2017-06-10, version 1.4* The app works great, but only for hot dogs. Every other type of food I scan just comes up as "not hot dog". ### 1/5 — Everything is pizza. *2017-06-10, version 1.4* My friends are pizza. My fern is pizza. My hand is a pizza. My Pepsi is pizza. App needs work. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Bad *2017-06-04, version 1.4* Barely works ### 1/5 — Not hot dog *2017-05-31* Doesn't recognise broccoli let alone hot dog ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SILICON VALLEY!!!!! *2017-07-09* Hahaha I cant believe this actually exists ### 5/5 — HBO i ❤️U! *2017-06-28, version 1.4* Hot dog / not hot dog lol! ❤️❤️❤️👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 ### 5/5 — Thank god I know what I'm eating *2017-06-23, version 1.4* I would be so bummed if it was a hot dog. ### 5/5 — Rad idea! *2017-06-15, version 1.4* Haha it's rad!

Senza dover caricare foto ed aspettare svariati secondi ### 4/5 — So much more than not hot dog! *2017-05-18* It's a good app, but after seeing something like this on Silicon Valley I'll have to admit I was only expecting it to show me hot dog or not hot dog. It shows at least a few more things! Underestimates the calories a lot though. ### 3/5 — Not Hot Dog *2018-03-29, version 1.5* Not hot dog! 😂😂😂 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
