It doesn't give any informational information anymore. It only shows similiar/not so similar items you can buy. Example, I was trying to find out what a switch on a car was for, and it showed random switches I could buy from ebay and auto parts store. They weren't even the same switch. It's been like with the last dozen searches I've done.

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!!
