Amazon Flow appears on the iPhone

Wow. 5 for 5 on items in the office (windows office, a dvd, apple keyboard, mouse, and a coffee machine box).

It shows the price, the # of stars, and whether Prime is available. Also, the fact that it automatically saves the image is a great touch. You don't have to press a single button. You point it at things and it just works.

A thoroughly well executed app in all respects. The team that did this knows what they are doing. I could see using this in my daily life. Very well done.

This works really well. Tried it on a couple dozen books around the house. Pretty much 100% recognition on everything new enough to currently be in print. It failed to recognize a lot of out-of-print stuff, but that's to be expected.

It seems to be that if there's a picture of Amazon of the item, it will work.

Interesting. It does surprisingly well on some things--just a glance at "The Complete Calvin and Hobbes" box identified it. And it does surprisingly bad on some things--a Diet Pepsi from a co-workers desk was identified as a Camo Gladitator II Heavy Duty Belt Clip Carrying Case for various Samsung phones.

So awesome. I think it's still got a ways to go.. I played with it and it did great on books, not awesome at reading barcodes. I'd love to see it get to the point where I could point it at my coffee cup or trackball. I don't imagine that's all that far off. Really, really cool app. Bummer for the metalab folks that Amazon decided to call it flow though!

If it links to the Amazon store, does that mean Apple is getting a cut of all sales made through the app?

If anyone here would like to implement their own apps that utilize image search, check out http://moodstocks.com. I've been playing around with it, and the results are very accurate.

There's a mention of the App Store, but no link. For the lazy: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flow-powered-by-amazon/id4746...

It works pretty well! Tried it on some DVDs, they were all recognized.

Is there an API for something similar available? It would be pretty cool to not limit this to phones.

Surprised there is no android app considering the fire tablet runs on backend android?

It doesn't show up in the App store for my ipod.

FYI - Not available in Australian App Store.
