So you’ve popped out to the Video Rental shop to choose a film, but the problem is you have no idea what to choose. If you’ve got an iPhone, you could obviously type in the name of each film into Google and look up some information about it. Kooaba attempts to simplify this process by providing you with a variety of product information just by taking a photo of a DVD, CD video game or book cover.
While the idea behind Kooaba is sound, the execution is less so. The infrastructure behind the app is limited and the actual search results are simply displayed in Safari. Add to this the fact that searches can take 30 seconds plus to generate results and this seriously hinders that apps ability to be genuinely useful. On the plus side however, if time is not a major constraint, the app is very simple to use, and the concept is strong enough that with some improvements, I could see this app being incredibly useful.
