I used this on several chicks and adult chickens that I know for certain what the breeds are. It never gave me an accurate response.

Oh and the breed was Whiting True Blue. The internet needs help I went outside where most people have there chickens at and tried your identification feature and it won’t work. You should change that because most people have there chickens outside. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback.

I keep you in the same error Internet is not working. I’ve tried it several different locations around the property. I’ve tried it in several different nothing’s working **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry for the frustration this caused.

Por mucho ### 2/5 — Like the idea.. *2025-10-12* App just isn’t accurate like at all. Showed a picture of my olive egger and said white leg horn.. the chicken is literally brown and showed me that. Honestly google search gives better results :( **Developer response:** Thanks for your honest feedback, we’re sorry about that experience. Accuracy is something we’re actively improving, and updates have already been made to better handle mixed and hybrid breeds like Olive Eggers. We appreciate you pointing this out and hope you’ll notice major improvements in the latest version. ### 1/5 — 7 out of 7 wrong *2025-09-08, version 1.0.14* As a chicken freak I know my chickens. This does not! ### 3/5 — App is good *2025-08-31* I think it's a shame that you can't switch between English and German, which I find a shame because otherwise the app is super explanatory. Only for English, oh, piercing or understanding sounds. I would be happy if you could change the language in the menu the way you break it, I would be very happy if it was available in German. ### 3/5 — How many scans? *2025-08-15* Not sure why the limit on scans ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-07-25* Tried it out on my hens. As I know their breeds just thought I would test it. Got everyone wrong. I’ll say no more. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear the results weren’t accurate in your case. Breed identification can be affected by lighting, pose, age, and mixed ancestry, and we’re actively improving accuracy with ongoing updates. We appreciate you giving it a try. ### 2/5 — Not even close *2025-07-08* I tried 3 different pictures and it didn’t get one right. Brown leghorn was shown as a RIR. Tried again and it said old English bantam. Tried a legbar and it gave me some random breed. Good idea but needs to be tweaked a lot. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2026-07-26* I took 3 pictures of the same chicken and it gave me a different breed each time. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2026-07-21* I tried identifying the same chicken three different times- gave me the wrong type all three times. Not accurate at all. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t actually have a 7 day free trial !! *2026-07-19* This app isn’t what it states I’ve found several breeds that I personally own to not even be listed one common one they don’t have standard Plymouth Rock birds ! They don’t have the ability to have the actual breed colours pekin colours have 4 bird colour options there is hundreds !! Non of the bird colours are even close to actual so much more don’t waste your money and time ! ### 1/5 — Apps a joke. *2026-06-13* Doesn’t know the difference between a RIR and a ISA Brown. Said my splash ameraucana was a white leghorn. Plus having to pay for the app is wild. ### 1/5 — It got a completely wrong multiple times it was a golden campaign *2026-06-01* Terrible ### 1/5 — WRONG *2026-05-30* This app is so far off from telling you anything about your chickens it’s actually laughable. You all need to research better than this before coming up with an app. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience.

Not really knowing much about my chickens or chicken in general I stumbled across RoostScan. I scanned my chicken and got so much info on them that I now feel like an expert :) The ability to also list my chickens and show others around makes me want to hatch some of those eggs in the future too. This gem perfectly combines AI and small style farming so a definitive recommendation! ### 5/5 — Scans super quick *2025-06-20* The chicken identifier app works really well and scans quickly making the breed identification fast and easy! User friendly and reliable, it’s perfect for farmers and hobbyists! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
