Ratings and reviews

I use this all the time when listing things for sale to find comparable prices and it makes life so much easier! Every now and then you get totally random (or what seems to humans as random) but a change of camera angle when taking your picture usually fixes that. It's also superb for identifying poisonous plants when out on a hike! Or just to find out what that weird new thing is. Literally, it is SO handy to have! I love it!!

Easy to use. Has always given a clear result just based off of a picture, super handy for the things I've used it for (bugs, plants, birds, etc.). Always gives one more clear answer that seems most accurate, as well as others that are very similar. I've found it to be a helpful app!

Love it. It can extract text or translate from unknown language. But to me the feature that saves me time is pict recognition and search. When it comes to purchasing, just scan the item image by Google Lens, and in a wink, it shows the exact item and price from stores where it's available. Same thing for people: G. Lens is capable of searching for individuals based on a picture of them. It gives any public info it finds on Internet Amazing. Way better than MS Lens limited to image scanner featr
