Snaplay aims to become the “Shazam for images”

You know how Shazam makes it easier for you to look for that elusive song? Snaplay, a reverse images search app, wants to make it easier for you to look for videos and music online using photos. Acting much like a QR code reader (sans the QR code), Snaplay lets you take a photo of an album cover or movie poster or the like and have the app bring back related media content.

On the video side, it integrates with YouTube; while for music, it integrates with Spotify or uses songs you’ve stored on your device.
