Very enjoyable just to browse, with excellent photos and descriptions for easy identification. Additional info/photos of caterpillars would round it off nicely. Nice link to Wikipedia. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2015-03-31* This is a great app!! My grandchildren are very excited and enthusiastic being able to recognise and learn about the many butterflies we get in our garden. Very educational and a great way of encouraging children to learn. ### 5/5 — Nice work *2015-02-17, version 1.0.8* This app is excellent value. It is informative and easy to use. Just enough info for ID butterflies and added moths. Works well in Europe too. Well Done! ### 5/5 — Still the Best *2014-08-12, version 1.0.7* I love this App. It is another Brilliant App from the genuine professions at iSpiny. Brilliant pictures with clear and accessible text. ### 5/5 — Mogstock *2014-07-13, version 1.0.7* Super photos, detailed and excellent guide. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2014-07-02, version 1.0.7* If like me you are a butterfly lover then this for you. Good information. All you need to know and easier than carrying a book. Very good images and well documented. ### 5/5 — It works very well *2014-06-16* I really like it because it really works in the field to identify butterflies we have not seen before. It has been useful on a recent trip to France and Spain. It's nice to be able to keep records, too. ### 5/5 — Clever app *2014-06-16, version 1.0.6* Very useful and clever app to help butterfly identification. ### 5/5 — Excellent Guide! *2014-06-03* A really impressive app providing good quality photos and comprehensive information on all British species, and more! I find it a pleasure to use and really like the facility to add own notes. ### 5/5 — Another brilliant app from iSpiny *2014-06-01, version 1.0.5* Well laid out, easy to use, stunning photographs. This app is a must for everybody who is interested in butterflies and moths. ### 5/5 — Sehr schön !!! *2014-05-31* Sehr schöne App, umfangreich und übersichtlich. Schöne Fotos von Schmetterlingen, interessante Infos, die für Amateure durchaus ausreichend sind. Dazu derzeit sogar umsonst. Vielen Dank dafür! ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-05-28* What can I say, this app has everything. Lots of photos of the butterflies (and now some moths as well e.g. Hummingbird Hawk Moth), lots of information etc - plus very easy to add my own comments, photos, sightings. ### 5/5 — Probably the best euro butterfly app so far *2014-05-07* 4.5 stars Once I have worked out how to add ones own photos, as update includes, I'll be inclined to 5 stars, although most apps need room to improve, which is main reason not to give 5 plus to this outstanding app. Having a place for ones own notes is great as can expand on info given as well as track ones own sightings. So all ones butterfly info can be in one app. Wish more apps were of this top class quality.. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Please update!! 🙏🏻 *2026-07-05* Perfect for the UK, but very limited for the rest of Europe, as a great number of species are missing. It’s a huge pity this app is no longer supported, as it has the potential to fill a niche that others do not. ### 3/5 — Bitte Update *2018-04-26* Das ist so eine tolle App.Warum wird sie nicht gepflegt und mal aktualisiert,auch was das Design betrifft..Zumal sie ja auch nicht gerade billig ist.Bitte aktualisiert doch mal diese tolle App. ### 3/5 — Not a bad app but... *2013-07-07* Don't get me wrong this isn't bad- the pictures are good and the log is nice ("seen that!") but compared to the British Birds app (5*, no question) it is flawed. Butterflies and no moths is artificial and confusing, the "finder" often ends up with no options after a couple if filters and there seem to be a lot of butterflies not found, even after taking a good photo to compare. That said it is worth the money but expect a little frustration and buy a good reference book as well. ### 3/5 — British butterflies *2013-04-15, version 1.0.0* Rather disappointing that there is little or no information about the larvae, food plants and habitats. They could also include the more common British moths to make the app more useful. ### 4/5 — Excellent. *2015-04-09, version 1.1.0* Love this easy to use app. The sync to iCloud is a bit hit and miss but the descriptions and photos are very nice. Tnx ### 4/5 — More moths please *2014-06-30, version 1.0.7* I know it's a butterfly app, but I do wish there were more moths. That aside, it's a great and helpful app ### 4/5 — How good is this *2014-06-17* It just works. What more do we need? Day and night flying moths would be great as it covers all possible sightings. Being able to record sightings is great, sending all this data to one data base to map distribution would be a socially and environmentally responsible piece of work with much benefit and a lot of brownie points to the app developers. ### 4/5 — So nearly brilliant *2014-04-26* Have been using this app for a few years now and it is very helpful in the field (as long as the sun's not too bright) especially if you have a good book with you too. Love the Two suggested enhancements please and I'll give you five stars: 1. Please would you add the larval host plant details? I'm perfectly willing to do the research for you, just ask. 2. Please would you make the sighting date and time manually editable? I'd like to add in all my past records. ### 4/5 — Ipad *2014-03-12* Leider funktioniert die App bei mir auf dem ipad nicht. die Titelseite leuchtet kurz beim Aufrufen auf, verschwindet aber sofort wieder. Schade, weil es auf dem iphone toll ist ### 5/5 — Butterflies *2018-10-04* A Superb App For Identifying Butterflies Spiny Apps Are Great ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant Butterfly app *2017-04-08* This is an excellent app. It's so easy to identify butterflies and learn about them too. Thoroughly recommend. ### 5/5 — Sehr gute Schmetterling-Bestimmungs App *2016-07-28* Mit dieser App lassen sich sehr gut am Wegesrand beobachtete Schmetterlinge bestimmen. Selbst wenn der Falter-Finder einmal nicht ganz richtig trifft, so lotst er einen doch auf die richtige Spur und der Schmetterling kann identifiziert werden. Klare Empfehlung! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2016-07-20* Really impressed with the slick upgrade of this app. It's really intuitive, lightning fast, and highly informative. 5 out of 5. ### 5/5 — Really useful app *2016-06-30* I find this app very useful and well laid out, easy to use and find what I'm looking for, then being able to take a pic of the butterfly is an added bonus. Added together with the other apps for birds and wildflowers makes a much easier option than carrying books out on a walk. ### 5/5 — Mr *2016-03-20, version 1.1.1* Excellent! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2015-10-17, version 1.1.1* We enjoy using this app when out on walks or in the garden to identify or confirm sightings. We Recommend. ### 5/5 — Worthy of beauty *2015-10-07, version 1.1.1* Splendid App. Cannot see how it could be improved. ### 5/5 — Nice one *2015-09-19* I really like this app. It is very easy to use. One thing I would like to see added is the caterpillars of each butterflies. (maybe it's there and I haven't found it which itself would be a problem to be solved) ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-05-22, version 1.1.0* Very happy with this app, good descriptions and pictures.
