Kooaba Forum Review by msbaylor

Kooaba allow you to take a picture of a movie poster, then looks up the info about the movie.

You just push the camera icon on the main screen, snap a picture and it load (takes a long time – 30 secs+), then it opens safari and displays the movie details.

You can also view the history of your searches (if you ended up wasting that much time)

Conclusion:

This app takes WAY to long to load results. It, however, is a nice concept, but needs updating and it would be nice to see the results loaded in the app itself.

Pros:

  • Cool concept
  • Easy to use

Cons:

  • Take too long to load results
  • Shows results in Safari browser

Price:

FREE

    Just updated it to the new version. The results are now shown inside the application. Also kooaba seems to have invested a good amount of time to improve the interface. DVDs are added to their database as well!
