### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2025-10-26, version 2.6*

Doesn’t work even the slightest. Bought this last year and it didn’t work. Hoping they fixed it this year. Con artists as they just steal money for something that doesn’t work at all

### 1/5 — Needs More Work

*2025-10-20, version 2.6*

The idea is solid and I think this could get in the ballpark score-wise if executed correctly however the app is not as user friendly as I wanted it to be and could use more information buttons when asking you to enter certain data. It was confusing to me initially the close vs. far points idea but after it dawned on me it’s pretty clear what it’s taking about. More tutorials on how to use the program would be nice. 3 times I uploaded a photo it was still thinking after 3 minutes so I rebooted the app. Out of 7 attempts I only got one to give me a score. Maybe others will have better luck.

### 1/5 — JUNK

*2025-10-17, version 2.6*

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-10-16, version 2.6*

Junk app waste of money

### 1/5 — A

*2025-10-10, version 2.6*

Didn’t say it costs money until you put your info in.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-09-27, version 2.6*

Got the app to see what a few bucks of ours would score and they wouldn’t and had to manually enter it and just a pain. Wouldn’t recommend!

### 1/5 — Don’t purchase

*2025-09-09, version 2.6*

Tried to score a deer 50 different ways with everything this app has you fill out. Kept saying fill boxes in correctly. All required boxes were filled in multiple ways. Still would not take it.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-09-03, version 2.6*

Trash

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-08-21, version 2.6*

Doesn’t even work, when everything is submitted the ai deal just spins endlessly. Waited 15 minutes just to watch it keep spinning.

### 1/5 — Extremely inaccurate

*2025-08-16, version 2.6*

I wanted to see if this app could actually score deer fairly accurately and it was not impressive. Tried a deer I killed last year and know what it scores and it was off by 22 inches. Used multiple pictures and multiple ways to measure by ears and eyes and still was way off. I’m not one to write bad reviews but not a fan of liars saying they have studies that it works when it obviously doesn’t. Stay away from this app if you want a someone close ballpark of what your deer scores.

### 1/5 — High Hopes

*2025-08-11, version 2.6*

I had high hopes for this app, but it’s just not worth the money. It does not work very well with the clearest trail camera pictures I have. When I do get a score it’s way off. Save your money and time. Cool concept, poor execution.

### 1/5 — Total waste

*2025-08-10, version 2.6*

I bought the app and it will not score a buck at all. Total waste of money and waste of time trying to get it to work.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-08-01, version 2.6*

Tried a dozen trail camera picks from 20 ft away in every angle imaginable. Says it want generate on every one. Have good pictures with a professional camera and still can’t get the app to give me a score. Terrible app

### 1/5 — SCAM!!!!!!

*2025-02-06, version 2.6*

Do not allow them to get any form of payment from you!!!! Just found out they’ve been charging monthly when I canceled my subscription a year ago. They waited a few months then began charging. Had already deleted app as well. 
I’ve been in a chat with customer service for 9 days and they will not respond or refund!!! 

Hate these people and hate this app!

### 1/5 — What a joke.

*2025-02-01, version 2.6*

Never received a score after multiple tries and angles. So sad.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all but takes your money

*2025-01-03, version 2.6*

Downloaded the app and had to pay immediately before letting you try it. After paying I upload photos and it says will take 1 minute to process but just spins forever. Have tried multiple times with the same issue. Requesting refund from apple.

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t work

*2025-01-02, version 2.6*

Wouldn’t let me create an account after trying several times.

### 1/5 — Don't take the bait!

*2025-01-01, version 2.6*

There is a reason they don't give you a free trial! It does not work but they are getting everyone's money for one month!

### 1/5 — Waste

*2024-12-30, version 2.6*

What a waste. I tried three photos and it couldn’t figure out anything. Wasted $6

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-12-15, version 2.6*

Can’t even get through the registration. Come on! Don’t put it out there if it’s not ready guys. Spending money to advertise something that doesn’t work is foolish!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2025-12-16, version 2.6*

This app is not what they say it is. When I would upload pictures the round dial would just spin and spin.  I never once received a score on several deer I uploaded.  I asked for a refund within the same day I purchased and they said they will not give me a refund. So save your money and time and stay away from this app.

### 1/5 — Don’t Work

*2025-12-07, version 2.6*

Tried multiple times and it just keeps loading when it says “this should take 1 minute” never did score my deer. Worthless app and $4 I’ll never get back.

Save your money, I’ve tried several ways to make this app work, and it has yet to ever provide me with any scores or details at all.

### 1/5 — Do NOT Download

*2025-11-21, version 2.6*

$3.99 a month and not worth it.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-19, version 2.6*

Don’t waste your time with this because you don’t have enough time for it to work.

### 1/5 — Trash don’t get

*2025-11-15, version 2.6*

Tried to get a score and have taken I don’t know how many pics and it just sits there and thinks. Very disappointing glad I only wasted $4

## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2022-08-22, version 1.0.7*

Score a buck I harvested last year from a trail camera picture I got two weeks earlier. Score from app was barely off!! Cursor feature helped get the eye measurement a lot easier. Cool feature to get more accurate points and measurements.

### 5/5 — Big improvements made!

*2021-11-12, version 1.0.4*

This app is awesome…

### 5/5 — Best deer app

*2021-11-03, version 1.0.4*

Best draft ever I tried it it actually works if you don’t believe me try it for a self I love it please try it

### 2/5 — Good idea…. Needs a whole lot of work

*2024-09-21, version 2.4*

App freezes when trying to score. 
Many buttons do not respond.
Very picky on pictures.
It has potential. Just needs help

### 2/5 — Very Buggy

*2022-01-21, version 1.0.6*

I got this app to try and score the bucks I photograph, because I am not killing them. I’ve had this app for five minutes and it’s very glitchy. I’ve put in my photo, along with other information about my buck, then clicked “upload buck photo” and it did nothing.
