Leave a Review Picture Insect
Good app, could be great
Update- the app doesn’t work anymore. It says “reconnected” and then goes right to a white screen. I’ve tried to delete it and redownload and it still doesn’t work. For 20$ a year, it’s disappointing.
This app is pretty good. It makes accurate identifications most of the time, and has a lot of great info about the ID’d insect. It also gives several options of IDs in case the first is not spot on. This is a great feature.
The reason is gets 3 out of 5 stars is for two reasons.
1) When you upload a picture from your library to ID- you have no control over where the scanner will look when it scans it. This is frustrating because it makes it impossible to identify certain t
bugs, and often gives you several wrong identifications. This could be remedied by being able to zoom out on the picture in order to get the full insect into the scanning zone.
2) This is a paid subscription app. It costs 20$ a year- so it is not free as advertised.
If the scanner picture issue is resolved, this is well worth the 20$ a year.Show lesssnagtrees
Awesome!
Really fast and accurate identification of insects, truly amazing to me. I just moved to Arkansas, where I’ve come across many different species of insects that are unfamiliar to me.
Because of this app, it’s become a hobby of mine to keep a collection of all the different spiders I come across. Whenever I see one I haven’t seen before, I get excited and pull up the app!
Would highly recommend, for people who love bugs, or to anybody trying to figure out what crawled up into their house. 🙂Show lessDakota Kitteh
Some great pros but a secret price tag
This is a very quick, simple to use app with basic information. It is great for a fast identification of an odd creepy crawly, or in my case to have on hand since moving to a semi-tropical island where everything is venomous, poisonous, or straight up trying to scare you to death. (Huntsman spider, I am side eyeing you) This would also be a great resource for a bug crazed kiddo, and keep them entertained for hours.
That said, this is one of those “free” apps that REALLY wants you to sign up for their 20$ a year subscription. Personally I just pushed the X in the corner and I could still use the app, but maybe the paid for version has more info, better features or other bug stuff.
For me, I just need the ‘Is this going to kill me?’ Question answered quickly, and this does the trick.Show lessAuntieEmMoMiMi
Developer Response
Dear, thanks so much for your good comments, any issues, you can email to support@pictureinsect.com.Awesome!
I found a bug that looked like a spider I’d never seen before making a home on the trampoline net. I didn’t want to disturb it, but wanted to make sure it wasn’t poisonous. I searched the internet with a description of the bug but couldn’t get results with a picture that matched. Then I found this app. I took a picture, submitted it, and in seconds the app accurately provided a picture and information about the bug. Turns out it’s an assassin bug. After a google search of the name I found that the bug isn’t as dangerous as the name sounds; well, at least to humans.Show lessLove to learn45
Amazingly PERFECT!!!
The app is perfect! It used the photo I took and not only gave me a list of species that look similar to my photo, but also gave me the correct specie right at the top!! Tho there are a lot of photos missing, it limits the suggestions to just a few so it makes looking them up easier! The only thing I would suggest for this app to be absolutely perfect is to allow users to add the correct photo of the insect where photos are unavailable. 😇Show lessMamaWolf Gen
