[2010-12-06] Sarah: Camera screen goes all black and does not capture image or even give command options. Samsung Fascinate. |

[2010-11-28] Reane: It wont let me do anything it just keeps saying error |
|
[2010-11-19] antmc: F c HTC desire froyo. UnInstalled |
|
[2010-10-04] brennan: Its a good idea fun to play around with |
|
[2010-10-01] Yolanda: FC couldt test it, HTC |
|
[2010-07-04] Victor: I love this idea but it force close when I try to use it on HTC Evo. Please fix |
|

[2009-12-01] hal: This application is not ready for primetime. |
|
[2009-11-13] savast: Does not work |
|
[2009-09-04] mikeV: i really wanted to photo shampoo bottles. damn! |
|
[2009-05-11] Ben: Neat idea, but i doesn't preview the focus correctly. It focuses & takes the pic all at once. This makes it really hard to get a clear photo. |
|
[2009-04-14] E: Cool search app |
|
[2009-04-07] Royalness: First time using it it shut down my phone. Now, it has ruined my sd card. Don't download this! |
|
[2009-03-30] Lallo: It works but i had to take the photo three times. It might be becuase the phone in general takes blurry pics. |
|
[2009-03-29] Jonny: Worthless. Absolutely doesn't work. |
|
[2009-03-26] jayms: huge potential but doesnt work 2 well atm |
|
[2009-03-26] Christopher: Great idea, but it isn't quite there yet. 1 of 6 searches worked, could be lighting and focus? Will be watching this app with great interest. |
|
[2009-03-26] Richard: Tried many times always got 'no text found' |
|
[2009-03-26] Google: Good idea, no functional |
|
[2009-03-26] Mark G.: It does decipher the text well, but the concept is flawed. If I want to search for something in an article, it is much faster to type it in. |
|
[2009-03-25] carl: Awesome idea. Needs updates. Needs to be way zoomed in. That or looking at a specific noun vs a phrase |
|
[2009-03-25] Shae: I dont like it |
|
[2009-03-25] Andrew: Doesn't work for me =-( |
|
[2009-03-25] jch0075: Good idea but doesn't work that great |
|
[2009-03-25] jukuli: Crashes everytime i take a photo :( |
|
[2009-03-25] kaosbudbud: Force closes EVERY time i try to snap a photo of anthing, not worth the download till bugs are fixed |
|
[2009-03-25] thewookie: Interesting concept. In reality doesnt work that great. Easier to just hit search button with more accurate results |
|
[2009-03-25] Rich: Good idea but force closes as soon as i take a photo fix it for 5 stars |
|
[2009-03-25] jmdrizen: Idea is good but needs work. Force close every time a picture is taken |
|
[2009-03-25] Ageless Stranger: I am impressed, some fonts dont work but overall this app is going places. Well done on the first release. Crashed once when i held down cam button |
|
[2009-03-25] kyasdad: Good concept but poor execution. |
|
[2009-03-25] Namovaryar: Tip: to avoid force close, do not keep the camerabutton pressed during the phototaking. Single quick press suffices, and found the app not to crash. |
|
[2009-03-25] Matt: Amazing idea. Bad execution. It won't pickup words on 75% of my attempts |
|
[2009-03-25] Melissa: Doesn't work!!! |
|
[2009-03-25] Mumen: Love the idea but it didnt work for the things i took pictures of |
|
[2009-03-25] ryannosaurus.rexx: Very promising! Needs OCR improvements, has picked up 40-50% of the words i snap each time. Save as txt file would be great! Keep up the good work! |
|
[2009-03-25] Jake: Works fine on 15pt & up. Not sure of practical use for ocr as a browser helper, but good work! |
|
[2009-03-25] Tom: Still force closes sometimes after update, and only searches for 1 word? Should search for phrases, how many newspapers have 1 relevant word? |
|
[2009-03-25] AizikS: It works...ish. i look forward to improvements and future implentations. |
|
[2009-03-25] e dub: Cool idea, ocr needs work |
