Great idea, poor accuracy
After trying about 10 to 15 images across various scenes, I could not use this for any need that required accuracy. The idea is great and it does describe a lot of things, but the accuracy of the items it describes are almost all completely…
Overall, it’s a nice app with a few minor bugs.
It’s a decent app to run visual models offline, but it falls short in several aspects. Every time I reopen the app, it gets stuck initializing the model and then proceeds to download the models again. Additionally, the offline mode is not w…
Perfect Helper to Put Into Words
This is a cool app that will describe anything you don’t have the words to describe yourself. For instance, my cat. I took a picture of my cat sitting on a chair and it was able to describe everything about the image nicely. What is very us…
Super start!
It’s really great— i just wish it were easier to review the text output. It’s a tiny box on my phone - could it be resizable? or an option to go full screen since you’ve already taken a picture? Thanks, though - very useful!
bug
I like the huggingface platform very much, so I gave it five stars, but why does it keep flashing back when I use it?
App crashes
When I try to send a description, the app crashes. My device is an iPhone 11 running iOS 18.0
Doesn’t work
The app is crashing after clicking Describe or sending any text on iPhone 11.
Awesome
Love this little app! It’s simple, snappy, but works as advertised.
Pump the brakes, devs
Doesn’t work. At all. Throws an error every time. Disappointing
