### 1/5 — Dev uses the app to hurt others

*2022-03-18, version 1.20*

Uses the photos on here to hurt others. You should be ashamed of yourself.

### 1/5 — Do Not Support This App

*2022-02-23, version 1.20*

Do some research and you’ll understand why you should not support this app or African Snake Bite Institute on any platform.

### 1/5 — Pathetic app

*2022-02-22, version 1.20*

Don’t waste your time. There are much better apps out there. 😡👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

### 1/5 — Don’t send in your photos

*2022-02-22, version 1.20*

If you send a photo to this fraud, it becomes HIS intellectual property

### 1/5 — App keeps closing

*2020-03-08, version 1.15*

Could someone please help! Every time I go into the App, i can select a species but then the App closes before it opens the selection. I can’t get information for handlers in areas either. I’ve deleted and reloaded the app a few times but it keeps on closing.

### 1/5 — ASI

*2019-07-25, version 1.12*

Swipe left to main menu.... that ain’t happening!!

### 1/5 — Problems

*2019-04-02, version 1.8*

I experienced problems the first time I tried to use this app to send a request for identification purposes. The app questioned the spelling of my email address and wanted to use a capital letter in the address. 
It also insisted that I had not completed all the fields. 
I eventually gave up in frustration.

### 2/5 — Great app… if you have signal

*2022-03-02, version 1.20*

Not sure why but it doesn’t keep the snake profiles in the cache. So everytime you open it you have to download new images. This makes it useless in the bush when there is no signal.

### 3/5 — Outdated info

*2022-08-06, version 1.21*

I find the snake section to be spot on but some of the information on the spider side is inaccurate and outdated

### 4/5 — An offline version coming please?

*2023-01-23, version 1.24.0*

Great app, but it’s quite likely that when you need it there may be no signal. An offline version would be fantastic!

### 5/5 — App rating

*2025-01-19, version 1.137.0*

Absolutely great App consisting of valuable information on various subjects. Easy to use and efficient in times of identification and when in need of assistance for removal and emergencies.

It is clear a lot of time and effort has gone into the App!

### 5/5 — Great free app.

*2024-12-27, version 1.137.0*

Highly recommended and appreciated with a wealth of knowledge made available for free an no annoying adds

I am finding it hard to find the snake comparisons for commonly confused snakes on the app. Not sure if it is on the app or only on the website?

### 5/5 — Great app works well!

*2023-03-19, version 1.40.0*

Such a Great addition to a Smartphone when you need the information / images quickly. And good first aid and other info. I couldn’t use the species ID if I did not have a data connection…perhaps I need to open and “download” every one into the cache so I can use the app remotely?

### 5/5 — Update 2023

*2023-02-14, version 1.36.0*

Does not update. So app does not work on ios 16.3.1

### 5/5 — Is a great app and helped me to become who I am  wanted  to be

*2021-10-28, version 1.20*

*2021-03-04, version 1.15*

Awesome App with easy access and information!!!!💕🤗

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2020-04-04, version 1.15*

A great, high-quality and free app by somebody that is clearly doing this as a labour of love for the subject.

### 5/5 — Simply awesome

*2020-01-04, version 1.12*

This is a phenomenal app. Useful for anyone from the herpetologist researching snakes and their distribution to someone finding a snake in their garden and needing a snake catcher. Covers African snakes and has heaps of added first aid advice and more.

### 5/5 — Many many thanks

*2019-08-30, version 1.12*

Thank you to Johan and this awesome App. Within an hour or two, he was able to identify a harmless snake in Republic of theCongo for my son. 
Words cannot discribe my grattitude. 
Thank you again.
