Even identification of one of your own sample pictures (Futura) threw up dozens of wildly different fonts, when the typographer's eye would have suggested only about eight possibilities.
It's likely that any app capable of doing a reasonable job of identification would need to cost a good deal more - possibly with regular updates by subscription. Nice interface tho!
Too bad :(
