User reviews

It takes a long time but great

It’s incredibly accurate it just takes a while to scan which I guess is why it’s incredibly accurate

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words! The extra time comes from cross-checking each find against peer-reviewed research and other references to get the ID right, so it’s a deliberate tradeoff for accuracy. We’re actually planning to add even more references going forward, so we’re also working on ways to speed up the scan without cutting corners. Really appreciate you noticing the improvement!

Whyyyy

Please make it free and premium just study it better also it should look at the sides more

Doesn’t work

A clear example of the limits of vibe-coded apps. Wasn’t able to identify a single fossil and it is full of errors.

Response from developer

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Most of our users are finding real success with fossil identification, so we'd love to help troubleshoot what went wrong for you. Please reach out to our support, we'd really love to support you and figure out what happened. Clear, well-lit photos of complete specimens work best, and we can provide tips to help you get better results. Thanks.

Free trial and good results

The only fossil ID app I could find that demonstrated what it could do before I had to purchase something, and gave more accurate results than the four or five others I tried. Would love more information on the results, even if just links to where I can read more on what the results mention.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the positive review! I'm thrilled that you found the free trial valuable and that the app delivered more accurate results than the other options you tested. I really appreciate your feedback and will be working to add more helpful information and resources to enhance the identification results. Thanks again for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review!
