hi, Comparing this app with CamFind I find canfind still is better! for example, if there is a crease in the fabric, this app interprets that as stripes, whereas, camfind does not. camfined would also describe things such as, flowers, butterflies, and background colour, which is very useful and much more descriptive. however, camfind does need to use the web, not sure about this app though…
