Hello All,

Awhile back I came across a great little iPhone Camera app that would allow you to compare two pictures, of the same setting, overlaid on one another, to see what had moved/changed.

Since there are a lot of photo comparison apps, and "What Changed" game apps, I'll elaborate on what exactly this app does/is used for, and hopefully someone can help me with a name (as I have forgotten the name, and it is somehow no longer on my phone).

So, say that you have a suspicion that a roommate is going into your room and looking around while you're not home, but aside from installing a hidden camera, you have no way to really prove it.
This app would allow you to take a picture of something, say the layout of the things on your desk. You could then, after you returned home, go back into the app, and it would show the previously taken photograph at like 50% opacity, as well as your camera's current view, and you'd line up where you took the first photograph from, and if the roommate hadn't gone in and moved anything, the pictures would sync up perfectly...however, if the roommate had gone in and moved something, THAT specific object wouldn't perfectly match its outline in the previously taken photograph, and you'd know that THAT object had been moved (ie: that that object was in a different position/spatial relationship to where it was when you took the original photo before you left).

It was a really neat app, and I'm hoping someone on this forum knows the name of it.

Thanks,

J.
