Hi, I just released Homescreen Genius and I'd be thankful for any feedback.

The app is pretty simple. You take a screenshot of your device's homescreen (or any other screen for that matter), upload it in the app, Homescreen Genius uses Tesseract OCR to get the app names, and then provides you suggestions based on apps that similar users have.

I created this because I found the Tesseract OCR package and wanted to put it to use in some fashion so Homescreen Genius was created.

Thanks in advance for any feedback - I really appreciate it.
