Not sure what an object is? Take a photo with Seek to help identify it, understand what it does, and ask questions about what you found. Seek uses AI to help you recognize everyday objects, products, appliances, and devices—even when you do not know what to type into a search. START WITH YOUR CAMERA Point your camera at an unfamiliar item, capture a photo, and review the identification. From a household object to an unfamiliar electronic device, Seek gives you a starting point for learning more. UNDERSTAND YOUR RESULT Explore the available details about the identified object. Go beyond a name to learn about what you are looking at. ASK SEEK Have another question? Open Ask Seek from your result to ask about the identified object. Find out what it is used for or ask for a simpler explanation. SAVE YOUR DISCOVERIES Save interesting finds and return to them later. Keep the objects you want to remember together in your collections. Recognition depends on the image and the information available. AI-generated identifications and answers can be incorrect, and an exact brand or model may not always be identifiable. Seek — Know what you see.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Seek at every 2 days against LaView's every 3 months. LaView's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
