This is really cool! imo it needs to integrate with imdb so it can show me the other movies that person is in. I'm always saying "what other film has that person been in?". And nowadays searching for the film on imdb, then scrolling to find the actor, then browsing through the actor's other films is just too much work πŸ™ƒ

@marsh931 Yes! We do have this feature in mind but this is just the first version, so keep an eye on it for future improvements! Thanks for the feedback

@marsh931 @armd_didier You'll be better off with TMDb, they have an official open API.

Does it only recognise men?
Armand Didier
@cenk No it works with both genders :) But keep in mind that the face recognition works best from the front and not so much with the face in profile
Cenk
@armd_didier The reason I’m asking is that it’s called "WhatsHisFace". Why not call it "WhatsHerFace"?
Armand Didier
@cenk would you have then asked the opposite question? :) It's a complete arbitrary choice ;)
Cenk
@armd_didier Why not call it "WhatsTheirFace" then? Or even "WhosFaceIsThat"? or "WhoIsThat"? There are so many different options I can come up with that would have avoided having to gender the name.
Armand Didier
@cenk because "whatshisface" or "whatsherface" is a common expression, and the important thing is not to not gender the name, but not gender the service, which we are not ;)
John Malkovich
Looks kinda cool. Thanks!
Armand Didier
@johnmal81355677 Thanks! Let us know what you think when you've tested it!
John Malkovich
@armd_didier Yeap. I will

Does it only run the recognition algorithms when you click it or is it running continuously in the background?
Armand Didier
@shimmb it only runs when you click or press the shortcut ;)
Chris Messina
Doesn't Amazon Video provide this with their X-Ray feature? https://goo.gl/N0lYUl

@chrismessina right but we didn't find anything for Netflix!

Damn. about 4 years ago I got a screenshot sent to me of someone on Netflix like the above, but nobody could figure out who it was. Can you send me back four years with this app so I can finally find out?!
