WhatIsIt — AI Object Identifier Point your camera at anything and get an instant AI-powered answer. Plants, food, insects, gadgets, medications, artwork — if you can photograph it, WhatIsIt can identify it. --- IDENTIFY ANYTHING Snap a photo or import one from your library. WhatIsIt analyzes the image and returns a name, description, and confidence score in seconds. Not satisfied? Upgrade to a more powerful AI model for a second opinion. ASK FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS Identification is just the start. Ask the AI anything about what it found — "How do I care for this plant?", "How much is this worth?" — and get contextual answers on the spot. TRANSLATE DOCUMENTS Photograph any printed text — menus, signs, labels, letters — and WhatIsIt will extract and translate it into your language. Supports 7 languages: English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, German, and French. TIERED AI POWER - Fast model: quick, everyday identifications - Powerful model: deeper analysis for tricky subjects YOUR HISTORY, SAVED Every identification is saved to your personal history so you can revisit results, share findings, or track what you've discovered. --- AI-generated results may be inaccurate.

Photograph a sign, menu, or document and you'll see the translation rendered right onto the original image — each text region replaced in place, with overlapping blocks shrunken so every line stays readable. Tap for a fullscreen pinch-zoom view. - Mixed-script photos. A Japanese sign with English captions, a French label next to a Chinese menu — each region is recognized separately and translated into your Default language in one tap. - 60+ languages, sorted with the most-used at the top of the picker (English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Portuguese, Italian first, then the rest). Offline (Local) Mode - Free, unlimited on-device translation on iOS 18 and later — no subscription, no daily cap, no data needed. Works on planes and abroad. - Cloud / Local toggle at the top of the Translate and Audio tabs. Auto-flips to Local when there's no connection. - 8 languages supported offline through Apple's on-device Translation framework: English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Italian. - Profile → Offline Languages. New screen where you can pre-download every language pair you'll need (or "Download All" for a road trip). Downloads continue in the background regardless of which tab is on screen. - Explicit source-language picker in Local mode. Tell the app "this image is in English" and it skips auto-detection entirely so it can't accidentally ask to download a different pack. - Smart download dialog. If you try to translate a pair you haven't installed yet, you get a clear dialog with Download Pack + Switch to Cloud buttons instead of a surprise system prompt. Audio - On-device transcription in Local mode using Apple's Speech framework. No backend, no quota. - Cloud audio always translates to your Default language. No more guessing about direction — Cloud is now a one-way "translate everything to my language" tool. Bidirectional conversation lives in the Conversation tab. Subscription & access - In short period, there is no more daily-limit walls. When you hit your free quota or your trial ends, the app keeps working — a small banner just suggests subscribing for unlimited use. Subscribe and Dismiss buttons let you act when convenient, not mid-task. - Continue as Guest now actually continues from the login screen at first launch (previously the button did nothing as the root view). Polish - Lighter, more readable login screen — the navy was too dark for the secondary actions. - Identification history with the translated overlay attached for image translations. - Mixed-language LLM translation prompt so the backend always translates every language in a piece of text into your Default, not just the dominant one. ### 1.0 — 2026-05-13 No release notes. ## More apps by Langtian Du - [iSip -VOIP Sip Phone](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/isip-voip-sip-phone/id298202722) - [AddressBook/Contacts Manager](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/addressbookcontacts-manager/id6752967295) - [TripMates - Share Your Journey](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tripmates-share-your-journey/id6754992611) - [FencingLab](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fencinglab/id6758785773) All apps by Langtian Du: https://appshunter.io/developer/1155770837 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
