Store description excerpt

Ever walked past a building and wondered what it is, when it was built, or why it looks the way it does? Point LookUp at it and find out. LookUp reads architecture from a photo. Take a picture of any building - anywhere in the world - and in seconds you get its architectural style, era and materials, explained in plain language, plus "the tell": the one visual cue that helps you recognise the same style on the next street. Every building you read joins your collection, and your city map fills in as you explore. In Glasgow, across Scotland, in London and in San Francisco, thousands of landmarks appear as ghost silhouettes — sculpted from real laser-survey data, not clip art - and each one you capture turns to colour. Known landmarks are recognised from where you're standing and come with real facts: architect, year, style, sourced from open data. READ ANY BUILDING • Instant readings of style, period and materials, written for curious passers-by — no jargon • Works on any building, anywhere: famous cathedral or ordinary building • Landmark recognition from your position and heading, with real attributed facts COLLECT YOUR CITY • A map of ghost silhouettes that turn to colour as you capture them • Your photos and readings, kept in a private collection — nothing is public, there are no social features • No account or sign-up needed; optionally secure your collection with Sign in with Apple GO DEEPER WITH LOOKUP PRO • Full readings: richer, deeper writing that teaches you each style • Architect mode: precise architectural vocabulary, with terms you can tap to spotlight that feature on your own photo • Support an independent app made by one person who loves architecture LookUp is free to use: unlimited quick readings, the full map, and your whole collection. LookUp Pro is an optional subscription (monthly or yearly, priced on the App Store page; payment via your Apple account, cancel any time in Settings).
