Ratings and reviews

Frankly, it's among the most proficient apps available today for image search, converting images to text and translating, or finding shopping results from images. The only instances where it tends to falter involve using highly fragmented or out-of-focus images, or when dealing with extremely rare items, such as a painting with an unrecognized signature. Aside from these scenarios, its performance is remarkably accurate. To be honest, it's genuinely impressive.

I can find anything and everything on this app. Clothes, places, antiques, odd things, photos, fake profile pics on FB. Especially useful for searching item descriptions when I don't know what to call something for my online sales. I simply take a photo and search it with LENS. Works flawlessly. Some items I want to buy are so expensive but I search the photo and it shows me multiple identical or close to items for sale across the Internet for a tenth of the price most times. Love it!!

The more people use this app the more it Artificially Becomes more Intelligent learing to become close to 100% correct on lens pictures of finding out whatever you're taking a picture of. It would be so much better if it had a 3D Scan tool to scan the complete item and users data would add to the library of every users picture and it could only be more accurate. The last few years of having it, I'ts been a life saver for eBay, Saved me lots of time trying to look up and study sells and buys etc
