Well I have tried everything and it just sits there!! ### 2/5 — The sound ID feature is cool but… *2026-06-16, version 1.1.1* I’m unsure how accurate it is, and unlike MerlinID, it doesn’t give you a listing of the frogs as they are calling… I recognize this app doesn’t have the ability to do that in real time, perhaps because that requires a large database and funding, but I was hopefully this would be a bit more user friendly. Also it only let me listen to one set of calls and try to ID them. ### 2/5 — Bugs *2026-04-23, version 1.1.0* I click “other results” and it closes the app. Annoying. ### 5/5 — Accurate *2025-09-23, version 1.1.0* It actually is accurate identifier, very surprised! ### 5/5 — So fun and accurate *2025-09-17, version 1.1.0* I took a picture of a frog in my backyard, and the app identified it in seconds. Super cool and easy to use ### 5/5 — Works Like Magic! *2025-09-09, version 1.0.9* I was skeptical at first, but this app really works. It identified a rare lizard I spotted while traveling. Super impressed! ### 4/5 — Great for Nature Walks *2025-09-08, version 1.0.9* This app is perfect when I’m out hiking. I just snap a pic and it tells me exactly what animal I’m looking at. Super handy! ### 5/5 — Fun and Educational *2025-09-07, version 1.0.9* My kids and I use this all the time! It's fun, easy to use, and we’re learning so much about reptiles and birds. ### 4/5 — A Must-Have for Animal Lovers *2025-09-06, version 1.0.9* The camera detection is awesome, and I love how you can keep a collection of everything you've found. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Impressive Accuracy *2025-08-25, version 1.0.9* I uploaded a photo of a lizard from my garden, and the app nailed the species right away. The details about habitat and diet were a great bonus! ### 4/5 — Fun and Educational *2025-08-24, version 1.0.9* Great for kids and adults! We’ve started using it as a family to identify frogs and snakes near our home. The encyclopedia info is very informative. ### 5/5 — Love the Collection Feature *2025-08-23, version 1.0.9* I’ve been keeping track of all the reptiles I’ve found, and it’s so satisfying to build my own little digital collection.

Identified every snake I came across! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deceptive *2026-08-03, version 1.1.1* Despite listed title, does not id frogs by sound. In app purchases doesn’t mean “buy a library for your location”, it means pay an exorbitant subscription rate. ### 1/5 — Ai use and incorrect ID *2026-06-14* This app uses ai generated imagery in its menu rather than real frog photography (wtf) showing its creators have no real appreciation for the natural world. In addition to this, when given sound from a frog it gave me a species not even present in the country I’m in. Terrible ### 1/5 — Charged right away *2026-05-27, version 1.1.1* I downloaded the app for the free trial. I was charged immediately. I can see the free trial and the charge on the same day at reportaproblem.apple.com. ### 1/5 — Lousy *2026-05-25, version 1.1.1* This fake app couldn’t even record frog sounds, or import previously recorded sounds. No audio functionality whatsoever. ### 1/5 — No Instructions on How to Cancel *2026-05-18, version 1.1.1* I looked for a way to cancel my free subscription within an hour of signing up. The only contact info was a gmail address and a website. Received a message that could not find server with web url. Have emailed hoping it is actually monitored. There was only a statement in terms that say one is charged if not cancelled. But no info on the cancellation process. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-07-13, version 1.0.8* Took a photo of a frog, uploaded it to the app, told me it was an owl. I’m out. ### 1/5 — Pay or not use it *2025-04-27, version 1.0.5* If you don’t pay for premium it’s worthless. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Take the pic *2025-03-27, version 1.0.5* Get several different kind of species ### 1/5 — You quite a price but at the end your price increase *2025-02-28, version 1.0.5* I’m over subscriptions stating a price like here ie $39.00 for a year and getting charged a price of $59. Not impressed ### 1/5 — Baby frogs *2024-08-30, version 1.0.5* These are baby frogs in my swimming pool-not bugs ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best *2026-06-30, version 1.1.1* Works surprisingly well even with blurry photos ### 5/5 — The best *2026-06-29, version 1.1.1* Fast identification and very user-friendly interface ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-29, version 1.1.1* A must-have app for nature enthusiasts.” ### 5/5 — The best *2026-06-26, version 1.1.1* Great educational app. I’ve learned about habitats, behaviors, and characteristics of many species. ### 5/5 — The best app *2026-06-24, version 1.1.1* A well-designed app that makes wildlife identification fun and engaging. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — The best *2026-06-23, version 1.1.1* The identification results are quick, and the information provided helps users learn more about the animals they encounter. ### 5/5 — Corn *2026-06-22, version 1.1.1* It sucks. Just kidding it’s really good. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-22, version 1.1.1* This app makes identifying frogs and reptiles simple. The photo recognition feature works smoothly and provides detailed information. ### 5/5 — Well *2026-06-22, version 1.1.1* I appreciate the detailed species information and the ability to keep track of discoveries in one place. ### 5/5 — Pretty cool! *2026-02-23, version 1.1.0* It would be cooler if there was an ai assistant along the app but I do like this app and I like making a digital collection! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
