User reviews

AI everything

Too bad this app only features AI generated design. I would’ve liked it more if an actual artist created the art.

Too much money

It’s $40 for a year so you can take pictures and identify animals. Google does the same thing

Response from developer

Thanks for trying Huck. Just to clarify, Huck is free to use. Animal identification is available free three times per day, and the map and field guide are also free. The subscription is optional and expands AI usage/supports continued development.

Pretty

Very pretty UI design marred by AI illustrations. It also includes an unnecessary subscription even though it sources most of the spottings from another service. This app basically wants you to pay $40 a year for pretty AI generated UI.

Also ios identifies animals and plants natively through the photos app. No need for a seperate app to do that.

Response from developer

Glad you like the design, and thanks for the feedback. Just to clarify, Huck is free to use. Including the map, field guide, and three free AI identifications per day. The subscription is optional and expands AI usage rather than unlocking the core app. Huck is meant to be more than just identification: it helps people discover, track, and learn about wildlife nearby. We’re continuing to improve the experience.
