We’re proud to announce that we’ve just launched two great new features for our iPhone app. These are

Multiple Results

Many images on media covers are used for different editions (e.g. for the regular album, the extended japanese version and the limited collector’s edition). Or they are used for related products (e.g. for the soundtrack, the DVD and the movie poster). With Multiple Results it’s now possible to explore all editions and products which share the same packshot once you took a picture of one of them with kooaba. You can see an example in the video below with the soundtrack of “Quantum of Solace”. Or try it yourself and snap a picture of Coldplay’s album cover “Viva la Vida“. You will be surprised how many products share that image – not limited to music!

Login Status Display

You can use kooaba’s visual search for media products and interactive print magazines and newspapers right away and without entering any login details to explore additional related information about them. Although you miss a great part of our solution if you don’t have a kooaba account: our handy online library. This is where all your search queries and related information are stored for later reference and where you can share your explored products and articles with your friends. We developed the Login Status Display feature to tell you if you’re logged in every time you start kooaba on your iPhone. This way you don’t have to check your settings if you’re unsure if you entered your login details.

Please have a closer look at both features in this video:

And…

kooaba also got faster and better! Recently we deployed a significantly faster version of our core engine, plus larger index.

Please let us know what you think of the new features!

Btw. It took Apple only six (!) hours after the submission to approve our latest update of the kooaba app. We like that.
