### 1/5 — Wildly inaccurate

*2024-11-24*

Can’t believe how wildly inaccurate this database is. I uploaded a photo of a scarlet macaw and it thought it was a  golden parakeet.

### 1/5 — Not what you expect

*2024-11-05, version 1.1.0*

This is , I believe, supposed to be a straightforweard animal identifyer app.  Is is not. It is just as likely to come up with obscure Google picture ideas completely unrelated to animal or such nonsence as "buffalo wings" when shown a picture of a buffalo.

### 5/5 — Fernhillian

*2024-10-04, version 1.1.0*

What handy tool to have! Especially, for the many varied and numerous insects we have in own backyard!

### 5/5 — Lil mothy boy :3

*2024-08-30*

I saw a common clothes moth on my table, and he was upside down, fluttering his wings, and he now has a home thanks to this app!! Thank you I Animal!

### 5/5 — Finally

*2024-07-13*

Finally found an app that is free to help identify animals. Super helpful

### 1/5 — Ugh!!!!

*2024-06-28, version 1.1.0*

I tried it on my pug and it said it was a laboratory retriever!

### 1/5 — Accurate but useless.

*2024-05-30*

Tried it on a few species I was not sure about.  The results were pretty basic.  Dog, cat, turtle, etc.
I know what it is.  I am not stupid.  What kind of turtle is this?

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that you found the results basic. To better identify the specific species of turtle, you might want to consult a more specialized field guide or a local expert. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

### 2/5 — Not very good

*2024-04-21, version 1.1.0*

From my experience it is not very good as I was testing it out on a black and white goat and it gave me the information that it was a ring tailed lemur 😂😂😂

### 3/5 — Uhhh

*2024-04-14*

A little slow

**Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience. We will work on improving the app's speed for a better user experience. Thank you for your feedback!

### 5/5 — Animal identification

*2024-01-29*

This got my to where I can say 5 stars
