The site could use a little more explanation. The app store page reveals that behind the scenes, there's a database of junk mail logos mapped to the unsubscribe page/contract details for each piece of mail, and taking a photo causes an unsubscribe request to be sent (with unrecognized junk mail added to a queue to be investigated). That's an awesome idea :)

It's also available for Android, which the site doesn't make clear (I left the site thinking "pity it's only on iOS", and only realised when i hit "get the app" to see if the app page had more detail).

Finally, neither the site nor the app page says whether this works outside the US - I'm assuming it's US-only?
