Is this new app the Shazam for shopping? Racked National reports on the totally amazing/creepy ASAP54 app, which allows you to take a photo of an item of clothing and then it matches the item to something similar in its database. So no need to ask that stranger where she got her shoes, just snap a photo of them. [Racked]
