Even worse, the app’s ‘matching’ photos are so blurry it is not possible to discern what you see. Bought for 1 week, used 1 hour and deleted. ### 1/5 — Crapola *2025-12-01, version 1.0.2* Gives different info to the same photo each time it’s uploaded and their guesses are as good as my own. This is just an AI search engine. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-10-10, version 1.0.2* Terrible, most of the alleged identifications are nonsense - and is biased towards North America. ### 1/5 — Says free *2025-09-22, version 1.0.2* Says it's free, but you don't get any identifying fossils for free ### 1/5 — Money *2025-06-25, version 1.0* They want your money to buy a subscription i am poor and just want to see rocks ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-06-10, version 1.0* Scanned meg shark teeth and ammonite samples and it will not recognize them. I tried to use the app for a refund, but it will not send. ### 2/5 — Fossil maybe *2026-04-07, version 1.0.2* I took a picture of the front and the back it said 2 different things ### 3/5 — Rocks *2026-01-20, version 1.0.2* I think u need to ask what area the person is in. Example. I found some rocks. Looks like blk meteor but it says it volcanic rock but I live in w va. There are no volcanoes around me ### 3/5 — Why? *2025-08-12, version 1.0.1* I take a photo of the fossil and It doesn’t identify just why but if it did work I would take it everywhere ### 3/5 — My review *2025-07-09, version 1.0* It’s a great app but it makes you pay money when i just want to know what fossils I have ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-11-07, version 1.0.2* As a hobbyist collector of ancient artifacts, this app has becọme my go‑to tool.
