Very useful app

Honestly, Bug Alert has saved me so much frustration. If you need a reliable bug identifier that just works without a steep learning curve, this is it. So glad this finally hit the App Store!

The ultimate bug identifier app

I’ve been using Bug Alert for a bit now, and it’s completely changed how I track down issues. As a bug identifier, it’s incredibly accurate and sends alerts instantly. It has seriously streamlined my workflow. 5 stars!

Just splendid

AI made it garbage

It used to identify bugs fairly accurately, at least enough to get you started on the right track for manual research. They swapped to an AI model and now it is completely useless.

Before updating the app: “moisture ant or possibly sugar ant.”
After updating the app: “that’s an ant” “it’s a spider”

Absolutely useless.
