The Interactive Content app enables you to unlock curated content on enabled images, gift cards, and product packaging. 1. Download the free app scanner or scan the corresponding QR code 2. Scan the enabled image using this app and see the image come to life! Requirements to use the app: The Interactive Content App works with rear-facing camera Apple devices that use iOS 14 or above. Also, the interactive images work best with a strong internet or Wi-Fi connection. How the App Works: The magic happens when our software analyzes the printed image by creating a mathematical model based on shapes, lines, proportions, colors and other elements. It then matches the model against images already in the app database. When a match is found what you see is what looks like a 3D, mapped digital video playing on top of a print…living in the physical world. **We developed this app for people that received a physical copy of a corresponding image . The app will NOT work on any other image.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Interactive Content at none against Waldo's 10. Interactive Content also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and device support (3 vs 1). Waldo's advantage is ratings volume (25K vs 3). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
