I wanted to find out who an actress was in a program that I was watching, and her name wasn't in the credits. L found this app to try out, and it works perfectly, I just paused the program, took a picture and then used the app. It took about five seconds to find the actress. I would give this app twenty stars as it's the best app I've ever used.

I love this app, it was the only app that help me find the actor I was struggling to find, on the first try it worked. It's perfect!!!!!!!😁

A good app for identifying actors and actresses identified from photos, in my experience the photo needs to be a close up of the person with good lighting and a high quality image in general.
★★☆☆☆
I was casually trying to find out what the name of an actor was, which I could not find, however I don't blame the app for that as the was taking a picture of a phone screen to try and find it. HOWEVER! When it doesn't find the actor or finds the actor, it plays an ad. Normally that'd just be annoying, unless of course the ad that it plays is for CHATURBATE. Yes, I got an ad for chaturbate while using this app, that anyone can get access to, even kids. It's honestly disgusting to see that.
★★☆☆☆
Sucks I upload a clear photo of Kat McNamara, and it said no results.
★★☆☆☆
Apparently the app can tell what mood the person is in and at their age and a bunch of other stuff like that but cannot identify the individual. Which is basically the reason why it was downloaded...
