Queryable - Photo Search App App Reviews

Buy if you want search photos with text prompt.. Great app for searching photos. The only thing that’s missing is multiple select. Please add this feature. Users will be able to search and remove unwanted photos from the library much faster than with stock photos app.

Awesome. Read about this on HN. Love that it doesn’t require network privileges. Works well on my iPhone 13. Wish that I could swipe left and right afyer selecting a photo from search, but hopefully this gets resolved in future!

Extremely useful. I bought this because I was interested in the technology (read about it on HN) but this app has been surprisingly useful. I have a lot of photos on my phone, and it’s great to be able to find photos containing an object. I use it about once every two weeks. I wish the native Photos search was this good. I also appreciate that all of the machine learning is done on device in a privacy preserving way. Apple should buy this app.

Unusable - Crashes Immediately 🙁. This looked like an interesting app and I liked that the developer took the time to respond to reviews so I installed on my iPad. It took about over an hour for the app to index all my 4,200 photos. If I tried using my iPad while it indexed the photos the process stopped and I had to restart once again. 🥱 Once finished I tried a simple search, the app crashed immediately. I restarted the app and tried a dozen more times and got the same results. 🙁 So basically I have lost several hours of my life on this non-functioning app and now I’m concerned that now all my photos have been accessed that they may have been uploaded and are out there for the world to see. 😬 Maybe the developer is working on the bugs but for now it’s a no-go for me. Update: The developer sent a response asking did I read the description before downloading? Suggestions the chip on my iPad is not new enough, even though it runs every other app with no issues whatsoever.

Really great local photo search. This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for to search through my 20,000-photo library. Often I have a specific photo I’ve taken in my mind, but I don’t remember when. This app lets me search for it even on the subway. With the recent support for image similarity search, this is a must-buy for anyone who wants good tools to sort through their photos.

Interesting AI experiment. Really cool to see what a more refined image search implementation can look like on apple products. This app on its own seems more like a demonstration of the tech to me than a utility I’ll find myself using regularly but I’m going to keep it for those times when photos search fails me. I hope apple ultimately decides to build their search around this tech and keep their models updated so that everybody can benefit from better search. Thanks to the developer for showing us a practical application of AI!

Can’t delete photos and the deleted photos are blank. Please check this bugs Nick App!

Way better than iOS search. The UI is very simple and will benefit from some polish, but this works perfectly on my 14 Pro. Make sure to let the index complete the first time you run the app. The search quality is really impressive. I can find every Simpsons meme in my saved photos, every picture I’ve ever taken at an art museum, every picture I’ve taken of a neon sign, every selfie I took with my old roommate at a bar. This really feels like the future. Big thanks to the dev, I really appreciate having this.

Awesome app. Just a fantastic app, search works super well and the developer has implemented most of the features I’ve wanted out of this app. Great job!

Fantastic but UI could be better!. Improvements - hard to look at each image (can’t swipe left or right, must tap each image) - no way to open the image in the photos app after finding it - no way to share the image from the app - can’t zoom in Mostly just stuff centered around the image viewer. There should be some open-source library you can use for this. Best of luck, and thank you

Whenever I search the result is a black box. It would be nice if it worked as well on mac as it does on iOS. Help?

Please consider add Chinese language support. The version in China App Store will be taken down due to so called ‘regulation’, sooner or later.

Works great, minor improvements needed. This is a desperately needed tool when you have thousands of images to search through. My main gripe is that it doesn’t let me go from the search result to the photo in my album, for some reason.

Great app — works as advertised.. I love this app. Works great on mac/iOS. Fast and accurate. I also appreciate the offline design. Thank you for caring about our privacy. If I could ask for a feature, it would to be work with arbitrary folders on MacOS (not just the photos library). Either way, thank you.

Works great. Does what it says on the tin, very quickly!

Nice utility app. Saw on HackerNews and thought I would give it a shot. I am on an iPhone 12 Pro and it maybe took 30 seconds to index roughly 2,200 images. The ability to search for a described scene is fast and performs well. I had some false negatives, but the result set always had the photo I was describing in it. Are the photos ordered by similarity to the query? It would be nice to order results by timestamp or filter by location.

Really amazing semantic search. I’ve realized it’s surprisingly often I need a very specific photo that Apple Photos or Google Photos just can’t handle with its basic object search. But Queryable is able to handle these complex scenarios nearly every time! “Pizza box secured to a bicycle with cargo straps”? - got it! “Black cat loafing on a piece of styrofoam”? - no problem! And entirely locally?? Super impressive. Apple really needs to hire the person behind this app and integrate it into Apple Photos.

Worth every bit of the price - with a couple of caveats…. Full disclosure, I only downloaded it today - but this is a GREAT app for finding the photo you’re looking for. It uses an AI engine and does not collect any data. I have over 10,000 photos and the indexing (done offline, to assuage privacy concerns) was quick and painless. None of my photos are tagged beyond what happens automatically, but it finds what I’m searching for EVERY TIME! Cons: You cannot organize photos using this app, or perform any bulk operations (like send multiple photos) - these functions would really add value. The ability to search, multi-select, and send photos to an iOS Photos album, email, or message would be game changing. Please consider this for a future update. Also, voice search would be great. 😬 But just for sheer search capability, what a find! Absolutely thrilled to have found this app for a one-time cost.
