Only useful if you already know so much about gemstones. Really useless on most unknown gems. ### 1/5 — Not a good purchase *2025-07-11, version 3.1* Really doesn’t work on real gems ### 1/5 — Does not work with jewelry or cut stones. *2025-07-02* May be good for identifying rocks found on the ground. **Developer response:** Hi there! Our recognition model is still learning and sometimes gets a little... creative. Thanks for sticking with us. ### 1/5 — Really??? *2025-06-28* Took a photo of my cat the app told me he was a rock called basalt so fake and inaccurate don’t get **Developer response:** Hi there! Well, maybe your cat is precious — just not exactly a gemstone. We're still training the model, and comments like this definitely keep things interesting! ### 1/5 — Really bad *2025-05-28* 3 out of 4 wrong **Developer response:** Hey!

Ensuring accuracy is our top priority. We learn from every mistake and appreciate your comments. ### 1/5 — Uninformed app!! Beware *2025-02-11* I design and create jewelry with real stones and gems. I was under the impression that this would help me to determine the quality of the stones and gems that I do have possession of. However, high end turquoise even though I asked four times got a different response each time with the same picture. As far as I can see, this is a huge waste of money and my time! I’m so sorry that I made the mistake of downloading this app thinking that it would be a responsible app. However, responsible is definitely not what this is! I would give it a -5 or -15 stars if that were possible. So, if I were to make a recommendation, it would be please do not buy this app! **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We are continuously improving our stone database and recognition algorithms to meet users’ needs. ### 1/5 — Could be better *2025-01-12* Not grate for the price. Great facts on actual stones/ gems under its actual name but the identifier is lame!! **Developer response:** We understand your frustration. The paid model helps us enhance the app and make it more robust, while still providing a free version to try out." ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2025-01-03, version 2.6* Cost too high ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-04-20* I like to buy old jewelry and I have a good eye for it.. but stones can fool a person mostly Dimond.. not no more thanks for help **Developer response:** Hello, our team would like to thank you for your appreciation! ### 4/5 — Mrs. *2025-04-07* This is the second time I’ve scanned this stone. The first time, you were wrong. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for the feedback. We're actively working on improvements. ### 3/5 — Not getting it right *2024-01-11* I was really hoping that it would work but I’m not having any luck with it getting any results --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
