Hi all,

I came across this on the App Store last night and popped it on my iPad and it’s great, providing a different take on the standard Photos grid view. I think it has some natty features that Apple could usefully put into their standard app. 

Anyway, have a look: https://visual-computing.com/

Cheers,
Stephen

This is fantastic, thanks Stephen. It runs on macOS too. Their other products are also awesome. I've been looking for complex visual search tools like this for 25 years. Not too far away on the horizon, I have a task to write an article on advanced search techniques for the Broadcast Bridge magazine. I'll certainly be mentioning this. If any of you are interested in matters concerning broadcasting, streaming and media in general check out https://www.thebroadcastbridge.com/. If anyone on here is visiting the IBC show in a few weeks, let me know. It's another place where you occasionally see amazing technology like this.

Hi Stephen. 

It looks great. But - when I try to download it to my iPad Pro I get  message saying “not compatible with this device”? Presumably I am doing something wrong?

Hi Andrew,

I have Kiano running on my iPad Pro and iPhone 13 mini. PicArrange is a Mac only app. I think Kiano runs on Mac too.

Thanks Stephen. 

I’ve got that now on my iPad. It looks really good - I need to play with it a bit to get used to it. It looks s going to be so useful.
