### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2025-02-07*

This website was truly a dream come true. With so much orders and classifications to spend time reading about, it truly helped my entomology skills. Maybe now I have a chance to get top 5 in Science Olympiad!

### 5/5 — Colorful introduction to insect orders

*2024-08-21*

Probably best geared to biology nerds and biology students, ant-keepers, mantis-keepers, termite-keepers, and other insect fans (I am in the insect-keeper and insect fiction writer category). While this app is colorful, easy to use, and contains a guide to what is an insect and what isn’t, the largest section is an introduction to the orders of insects. It isn’t designed for young kids. Recommended for those seriously interested in learning more about insects. The photography is great and the price (free) is unbeatable.

### 5/5 — Ripoff

*2024-03-23*

Does not say that are going to be charged over $6! Cannot get refund. Avoid!!!!!!

App Store has to do better.

**Developer response:** Bugdex is 100% free doesn't not have any ads, in-app purchases, and we do not collect any data. We are able to do this because of our sponsors Novo Nordisk, Augustinus, and 15 Juni foundations. We hope you are able to resolve your issue. Thank you for trying out Bugdex.
