I did not do

Does it do ants????

Request

So I was wondering if you could make a photo button. It would be way easier to identify bugs, if there is a button already.. I can’t find it. Please reply!

Never works

Downloaded it trying to find out about bugs and it never works

Great app and handy.

Works great. Fast full of info a must have for field work. Could use a back button sometimes within the app

Data set not very strong. Also has scrolling issues

The list of host plant on this app consists mostly of flower, fruits and perennials. If you are looking for pests that attack say, Lettuce or spinach, you wont find those as host plant. I am a vegetable farmer and expected search to include common pests specific to vegetables.
Image search: When you scroll down to select a host while doing image search, the drop down automatically selects the last item on scroll list even if that is not what my selection is. Wherever the scrolling ends, that item is selected as host plant. Quite annoying.
I expected to ID a big by uploading a picture. Would be a useful feature to add to the app.
