  • Such a quality app

    I was heading into bed and noticed a small bug crawling on my sheets (technically my shorts that were on my sheets). HORRIFIED I picked up my shorts, took them into the bathroom and snapped a picture of the alien-looking bug. Then after freaking out a bunch and debating sleeping in a different room, I had the idea to check if I could submit my picture anywhere to identify the bug.

    That’s how I came upon this app. Now my picture was sorta blurry, but to my surprise it scanned my picture and pulled up a bug that looked EXACTLY what I saw in my bed. (A Fire-Brat if y’all wanna look it up)

    Now, not only did I know the identity of the bug, but loads of interesting things about it; like the fact that it isn’t harmful and doesn’t bite, what may have caused it to be there, and how I can prevent it.

    I wasn’t expecting much since it’s the free version but WOW. Can’t go to sleep until I leave a review like this app is a game changer. Definitely recommend it for anyone who is either creeped out by bugs, interested in them, or lives with a bunch. You won’t regret it!

  • Incredible!!!!!!!!!

    I love this this app! I love studying bugs and this app makes it even better! If you like bugs, you’ll love this app! And you still get a wonderful experience even if you don’t pay for it! Just love it! Use it everyday! It’s really nice to know what kind of bugs are around you, what bugs may look dangerous, but are actually completely harmless, and bugs that look like they couldn’t do anything to you if they tried, are actually really dangerous! Love it! 100,000,000/5 stars!

  • My house centipede.

    I was petting one of my cats in bed when I noticed Tiger( my older female) had her eyes trained on something. I was prone on the bed but quickly rose to see what she was looking at. Just a house centipede. I quickly looked on my phone and found this site. Thank you bug identifier. I can relax and go back to petting tiger. He scurried up the wall and found a hiding place. No worries. I only kill roaches. We thankfully don’t have them in out Apt.

  • Fun and educational :)

    We just moved into a house on a lake with 3 acres. Needless to say there are a lot of bugs out here! A lot I’ve never seen. And, since most bugs freak me out this app has helped ease my nerves because the majority of the ones I’m finding are harmless. Add the fact that this makes “collecting” the bugs into a game and I now look forward to seeing new bugs and learning about them :)

  • Too cool

    This is by far one of the coolest apps I’ve ever downloaded. My husband and I like to travel and we’re always seeing cool and new spiders and insects we’ve never seen before. We’re usually pretty fascinated by them and time permitting can spend hours pouring over Google search results to find a match. We were on a retreat in Virginia when we found a spider we couldn’t quite find a match to on Google and I downloaded this app. It found it immediately and I’ve used it multiple times since then! The yearly rate is very affordable and I feel that I’ll be using this app regularly!

  • Great! ❤️🐞

    This deserves a 5-stars! It doesn’t require a subscription, and it always gets the insect correct! We found 2 poisonous spiders and other beautiful insects! I would definitely consider downloading this!! A gardener would absolutely die for this app! It will be great for you and your family ( Or just you! ) to just roam around to find and learn new insects!! This app is amazing and I would definitely consider downloading it! ❤️❤️🕷🐞

  • Amazing

    As a bug lover, I live near some dangerous bugs and when I take a pic of them I know whether they are harmless or not and other facts about them like there name and science name, o recommends this to all my friends and it’s such a great app with very accurate results I also love the creators other apps but there is one thing I would recommend, mabye you could add if the bug is endangered or not or how long they’ve been around for and also if they could be a good pet, Tysm and I’m so grateful for your apps!!!

  • Good identification but not informed

    This app is good at identifying insects, but it does not tell you about the benefits of these insects to the ecosystem. For example I found a goal wasp on my oak. It doesn’t tell you whether this is a harmful past or beneficial to the ecosystem. All it says is that it’s parasitic to plants which could sound bad to a lot of people. From another source on the Internet I found this: Oak gall wasps are part of the biodiversity that a healthy oak tree supports. They little or no impact on the tree's health and growth is minimal, therefore to attempt to control them is undesirable.
    The app would be better if it included information about whether the insect was an important part of the ecosystem versus whether it is invasive or dangerous.

  • Impressive identification from photos!

    I snapped a photo of a strange insect, and it immediately showed me an exact match with pictures, taxonomy, and FAQs about the insect species. It was extra impressive that it identified the bug despite the mess in the background of the photo. And this was on the free version without subscribing! I might opt for a subscription just to take a look at some other bugs I’ve been curious about.

  • Its amazing! ❤️

    This app has been a game changer, it literally has never been wrong before! When I found a random weird bug I thought was a big mosquito it turned out to be a certain type of wasp and it was identical! It also saved me from a case of bed bugs, one day in a cabin I get seeing beetles but then I saw a strange bug so I scanned it and it was a beetle. Of course you may have to take a few pictures before you get a accurate one, but otherwise its amazing
