Rural Africa
Wow I am very impressed with this service! I live in rural West Africa with my family including a toddler who loves to play outside. We killed a snake that we thought was a deadly venomous type and submitted it to this service to find out. They responded the same day with a detailed report about the snake, despite being a type that is not very well documented. Fortunately it was not a deadly venomous type like we feared. This has given us much peace of mind especially with our toddler. All this was on the free trial but I want to keep my subscription longer just to pay them for their help. Thank you!

Fast 30 min human verified snake at 10pm on a Friday.
My dog was barking non-stop inside, I walked in the room, heard hissing noises and she was standing about 6 feet away. Captured the snake, it looked like a rattlesnake, but then i started to wonder if it bit my dog, I found no bite marks but still panicked. I bought this app, and I got a definitive answer from a human. Snakes look very similar, thankfully, this one turned out to be a harmless snake. I submitted my photo at around 10 PM on a Friday night and got a response quite quickly in about 30 minutes. At least I’ll be able to forget about this for the rest of tonight rather than worrying about it.

Okay, staffed by real people, but prefer as needed option
Seems like an okay service run by real people who are trying to help and create a successful business. But I would prefer it had an as needed option vs a subscription. Way more people have an occasional need to identify a snake as opposed to needing a subscription. But their prices are reasonable, so I suppose I/you can sign up for a monthly when you need it, cancel after and not mind paying again when needed…

Great app!
I live in South Carolina, where there are many non venomous and venomous snakes. This app is fantastic at telling you exactly what your snake is! As soon as you spot a snake, take a pic, and use the app to ask the professionals! The only thing I don’t like, is of course, that it isn’t free. But I can’t blame the company when, again, they are professionals who deserve to get paid the tiny fee. I still gave it 5 stars, because even though it does cost money, the snake specialists absolutely get back to you within a few minutes with your answer! And the app is a great educational tool as well! They send you great info along the way. Overall, I’m happy with it and will probably end up buying a subscription simply because snakes are around all year long. After all , we humans have invaded their homes, not the other way around!

Very Accurate!
My family and I are are living in sub Saharan Africa, doing humanitarian aid. We provide antivenin for venomous snake bites.
But I am finding out, that there are many different species of snakes here. (A much greater variety than my native Home state of Nebraska).
To treat one snake bite can cost a poor farmer up to 3 months in wages. So there is tremendous knowledge in teaching the local hospital which snakes are venomous and which are not.
And understanding which venomous snakes have an available antivenin.
So thanks to this app, I have very recently, been able to have a spitting cobra, a night adder, and a stiletto snake (sadly no local, available antivenin covers these particular snakes that have recently bitten childen). But the childen have survived, some times the hospital will give blood transfusions which will help there blood to start to clot again.
A person might think these snakes are easy to identify, but it is much harder than it seems. So thanks to this app, my life has and will be made much easier….

Awesome service!
We ran into a scary looking snake during a clean out of a shed in our backyard. Everything stopped until we could figure out if it was dangerous, because we weren’t sure if there might be others around. It looked a little bit like a copperhead, but we weren’t sure. Being able to send a photo through the app and have an expert look at it to provide their opinion was wonderful. I really didn’t want any guesswork on this one! Thank you, Snake Snap!

Previous review is correct. No privacy policy. I don’t know why Apple has allowed this app on their store.

There is a privacy policy and we don’t use any users information other than for internal use
Best $ I ever spent for an app!
We found a small snake in the middle of our living room a little while ago. Looked like a garter snake but not quite. Concerned that it might be a baby version of something poisonous, I found and downloaded this app. Super easy to use. Sent in the picture, answered a question and had a response within just a few minutes. It’s a harmless Dekay brown snake. Best 99 cents I’ve ever spent! Thank you thank you!

Don’t Waste Your Money, complete rip off !!
I purchased this app to identify a snake I found on my veranda which had bitten my cat.
The App says just snap a photo, and it will identify the snake. Once I purchased the app, it asked for my area, which I typed in, the photo then sent.
A message came up that said the app is still in beta mode and the ‘snap photo’ is not yet working. It asked for my phone number.
I then tried to look up educational pictures and information on the app, which it advertises and there wasn’t any.
I live in Australia, and it only has access for US states, which it did not state when I purchased it!! Complete rip off !! Very disappointed!!

We are not in beta it was a disclosure out on two years ago. We manually ID currently while we train an AI system as we do not want to be wrong. We are in every country and the content is on our website
Great app managed by friendly knowledgeable people.
I’ve used SnakeSnap about 10 times now. Every time I get an answer back quickly. And accurately!
It’s great peace of mind knowing the information I receive is correct. Not knowing whether a snake is venomous or not is a big concern when you have an “encounter “ with one.
These guys know their stuff. Have recommended the app to many neighbors.
Thanks,
Joe
