  • First Go

    Live in Minnesota and recently found therapy and awe in rocks, so many secrets and hidden treasures created over countless millennia. We get to see the byproducts of the earth’s immense power.

    At first this app was good even though it was only 3 identifications a day if you didn’t pay for premium which I was not gonna do.
    Then the app was saying I already used my 3 identification’s when I hadn’t and when it didn’t say that it still wouldn’t work. I don’t know if it was just a glitch on my phone but still I would not recommend.
  • Don’t trust the app

    So I just started using this app and right off the bat it’s all wrong! I tried scanning a glowing stone and it said it was white agate, a type of quartz but QUARTZ DOSEN’T GLOW! And then I tried scanning pyrite and it said this time that it was an Apache Tear! And BTW for those who don’t know the X button on the subscription page is on the top left corner
  • Bad for people who don’t want to pay for an app

    Personally, I’ve never had to pay for a subscription to identify and learn about something, but it’s 3 identifications a day. That really bugs me because of my large collection and I don’t have enough time to wait for the stupid identifications to load back up. Not my kind of thing.
    - one star deserved
  • Rock and gem

    It’s a good app it identifies and explains everything and chat with an AI, I learn every time I ask questions.
  • Very cool

    I love this it’s very accurate. Make sure to put more like thank you
  • Real rock and crystal experts

    I've always been a passionate collector of crystals, and stumbling upon an app that simplifies the process of identifying stones through mere photographs felt nothing short of a dream come true. While there's definitely room for improvement, it's evident that the developers are attentive to this need and encourage user participation, a proactive approach that I truly appreciate.

    As an avid user, there are a couple of features that I'd love to see integrated into the app. Firstly, the ability to generate visual color charts with original photos, names, and main properties of individual rocks within my collection would be incredibly exciting. This would eliminate the need to rely on pre-made charts from others, which can be subjective and limiting. Secondly, the ability to add personal notes to one's collection, such as metaphysical associations and properties, and how the stone is utilized in one's own life or work, would truly enhance the app's value. While there's already a wealth of source material available, the potential to combine identification with the creation of personal, experiential source material through photographs and recorded uses could transform this app into an essential tool for personal discovery and learning.

    Overall, this app is already a game-changer for crystal collectors, and with these suggested enhancements, it could become an indispensable tool for enthusiasts like me. I'm excited to witness the app's continued evolution and highly recommend it to anyone on their own journey of discovery and learning.

    Nice, accurate results
  • Highly accurate

    After extensively exploring various apps on both Google and Apple platforms, I stumbled upon this gem of an app. It's proven to be highly accurate, although not all of my rock identifications have been spot-on - but then again, I'm not a geologist. I appreciate the multiple identification options and the informative details provided for each choice. This app stands out as the most accurate and polished one I've come across.

    My main qualm with this app is the steep price, especially considering the lack of a community forum for discussing and seeking help in identifications that might require human insight. While the cost may prompt me to cancel my membership soon, I must acknowledge the app's overall excellence. Nevertheless, I encourage fellow rock enthusiasts and those looking to expand their knowledge to give this app a try for at least a month. Its ease of use and overall quality make it a worthwhile experience.
  • Excellent app - The premium version is also highly valuable

    This app has become indispensable to me! It's one of the few subscriptions I decided to keep even after cutting back on expenses. It's truly worth the investment, particularly if you frequently want to identify stones or keep track of your collection.

    I highly recommend trying out this app, even if just for a month, especially when you're on vacation in areas with many rocks, such as camping or by a river. It can be a fantastic activity for families, where everyone can find interesting rocks to identify! It's great fun for both families and enthusiasts.

    I've found the app to be incredibly accurate, although there are a few instances where it may not identify a unique variation accurately. In such cases, providing a correction can help. Nonetheless, when trying to identify stones, the app can at least guide you in the right direction and help confirm or narrow down identifications. I've encountered some stones where each side photographed gives a different identification, but using the app's suggestions and doing a Google image search or browsing Etsy listings has helped clarify things. It does struggle with solid black stones, which is understandable.

    In any case, you can't go wrong with this app, and you certainly won't regret upgrading to the premium edition
