Inaccurate Findings
I purchased the app and attempted several times to identify a smaller insect but camera doesn’t allow it to zoom in clearly enough to photograph it and completely misidentified the insect repeatedly and some cases identified it as a completely different category eg. a roach as a millipede. When I tried to cancel my subscription (within an hour of downloading it) I was informed the do not refund your money. This is a poor application that is only marginally accurate with very large insects.

Requires subscription
Literally the first thing they ask for is your money and you can’t use it without it starting a free trial they hope you’ll forget about
Doesn’t ID and isn’t free
There were so many pop-ups I accidentally must’ve hit subscribe and now I can’t get my $39 back. Also, it doesn’t identify accurately.
Subscription scam
I thought this was a free App. I opened it to look up ONE insect and never used it again. I just realized I’ve been charged every week for over a year for a subscription I didn’t know I had. Did not approve money coming out of my account. Couldn’t get my money back. 👎🏻
Be Aware this is NOT FREE!
They advertise a free trial but when I couldn’t make it work I deleted within minutes they charged $59.99 and refused a refund. I will never use it so have paid $60 for NOTHING.
So not free!
Purchased app after a Google search for Australian Spider identifier came up with this free Apple Bug ID free app. I went through the motions and ended up paying AU59.99 for the year. On top of that the spider I apparently took a photo of was apparently a mouse spider that live on the ground and is 12mm long - that had a 70% confidence. The one that was 10% was more accurate but details on size and aggression levels were missing.

Different result every time
I kept resubmitting the same photo and the identification came up different every time.
size
I have a perfectly big picture of the big but it says it’s to small.
Does not meet my needs.
The bug is practically the whole picture and says it’s too small.

Description
I like how it easily identifies above with a picture. That’s a great feature, but the description is a little too, Scientific. What I mean by that is not all of us understand the terminology used for these insects. Not saying I’m uneducated, but it’s nice to just have a quick precise description, other than getting in to verbiage that I’d have to look up to understand situation with the insect better. Thee than that. Pretty interesting for sure.

Horrible
I purchased this to identify a fly that was in my basement that looked like a large mosquito. The app was way off. I then used it to identify a bee on my window. I wanted to see if it was a honey bee. The app didn’t even come close. Thought it was a spider and then a fly. Don’t waste your money. Not worth the $39 annual fee.

Way Wrong
The match doesn’t even come close to matching the bug in the photos
Kept telling me a beetle was bed bugs
See title
Not even close
Not close to actual pic
Required to subscribe for free trial
To unlock the “free 3 day trial” you must subscribe to a monthly auto renewal of $6.99. These apps are hoping a significant portion of their free trial users will forget to unsubscribe. Just make the app 99¢ a month from day one with a 24hr unsubscribe trial period and I am good. At that point I know what I am signing up for and the cost is low enough to ignore.
Not an issue for this app per-se but Apple should create an all you can eat subscription service for all $1.99 a month and less apps.

Worked
I needed to quickly identify a red-backed jumping spider that had bitten me. Even though the picture I had wasn't very good, this worked! It was a relief to know that the spider wasn't very dangerous.
Joke
This app is a joke. I took a picture twice of a termite and both times it gave me critters that look nothing like it. One was some scorpion tail bug and the other was a black and red spotted bug that isn’t indigenous to the USA. Also, it is 7 bucks a week! Wow! No thanks!
Ty
Love it!!! Best bug app I’ve used!!!!
Not one correct ID
Trial run- entered several known samples and this was woefully incorrect on every try.
