Amazon Shopping

The regular Amazon Shopping app you probably already know also includes camera-based product search through Amazon Lens. 

You can tap the scan icon in the search bar, take a picture of an item or barcode, and Amazon will try to find the product or similar listings, which is great for when you want to know what that cool product is or where to buy it. It works well for household items, accessories, furniture, electronics, toys, kitchen tools, and everyday products.

Amazon’s visual search is especially useful for shopping because it connects directly to product listings. You can compare prices, read reviews, check availability, and see similar options without leaving the app.

Of course, the results are limited to Amazon’s marketplace, so it’s not always the best tool for identifying rare items or learning detailed background information. But if your goal is to find something similar to buy, it’s one of the fastest options.
