Not worth the money
After buying this app you then have to buy another app to use your camera to take photos to identify 😡😡😡😡
Disappointed
Paid for the in app purchase to be able to take photo to id but no ability to do so that I can find. Have searched everywhere for the option to id from a photo
Butterfly ID
Disappointed with this app, no instructions to help users, and far too complicated. I feel like I have wasted the download costs.
Not enough photos
For many of the butterflies there are not enough photos. At a minimum for many species you need 4. Male, female, wings open, wings closed. Yesterday I was trying to distinguish chalkhill blues from common blues and there just wasn’t the information. I wished I’d had my book with me.
Poor
I thought by paying this money it would be Better than the free Seek app and more accurate, no is the answer, gets the commonest ones worryingly wrong , waste of time and expense, wish I hadn’t bothered, I’d love a refund
Bait and switch
This app claims to include automatic recognition from photos. Perhaps worth the cost of download? Ah, but for that, you have to pay still more. Save yourself the money and buy a book. This practice shouldn’t be allowed by Apple in its App Store.
No stars!
I have used this app to help identify butterflies, from good photos taken on my iphone. Started my trial with ones I knew already, didn’t get a single one right. Finally took photo of Speckled Wood from the high quality chart we keep at home - app told me it was a Scotch Argus, next choice Blue Pansy!! Good thing it was a cheap App, now deleted

Low Tech App
I have an app to identify plants from a snap, the same for wine from a photo of the label, so I expected this app to identify butterflies from a photo. Sadly it’s just a photo album in an app, that relies on ‘twenty questions’ to get you the result. After spending £3.99 on the app, I had to post my picture on Facebook to get the answer from friends. It turned out my subject wasn’t on this app anyway, because it was a Jersey Tiger Moth, a day-flying moth that looks like a butterfly. But a moth, and this is a butterfly app.

Poor
Females rarely depicted. Some butterflies only the underside included others the reverse. Not an I.D. guide at all. £3.99 and a could have used the internet for free.
Not what I thought it would be
From reading another review I thought I could take a picture of a butterfly and the app would identify it- I have other apps for birds and flora that do this. But it does not do this, so you need to record all the details and it gives you a list of all the possibilities. So not really what I wanted so beware if you think you can go out, see a butterfly, take a picture and get the app to identify it from the picture.

Good App
Interesting and informative. I’m not an expert but it gives me a good idea what I’m looking at
Bang on butterfly app
This app has allowed me to find butterflies whilst out walking with an excellent database of UK butterflies.
Good ID
It is so good to be able to identify the butterflies one sees!
A really good app
I really enjoy identifying butterflies when I’m out and about and this app has given me a grounding in identifying butterflies and really given me the bug
Very impressed
I like this app so far. It seems easy and enjoyable to use. I went on user ratings rather than price (there are cheaper apps) and so far haven’t been disappointed.
Wrong I’d
The photograph of the Wood White in the index is wrong.the photo is actually a Small white not a wood white,
Pretty good
That’s it like all apps could be better
Good app
Good app.

Extremely informative and user friendly. Love it. Love all your apps. Please do one for insects too.
