We will work on improving the app's speed for a better user experience. Thank you for your feedback! ### 2/5 — Slow and very laggy *2023-12-18* Slow and cumbersome when it comes to the main user interface **Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience. We are constantly working on improving the performance of our main user interface to ensure a smoother and faster experience for all our users. Thank you for your feedback and patience. ### 3/5 — ? *2023-09-17, version 1.1.0* What is it? ### 4/5 — E *2023-08-23, version 1.1.0* E ### 4/5 — Cool *2023-05-23, version 1.1.0* I tink col ### 1/5 — …….. évidemment *2023-05-18* J’ai photographié mon chat roux, il m’a dit que c’est un tigre. C’est tout. **Developer response:** Désolé, vous pouvez réessayer. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-05-09, version 1.1.0* Don’t bother ### 4/5 — Great for curiosity *2023-04-22* This app I’ve used it a couple times and so far there has not been a single ad where as other apps will have so many ads but this one no. The only reason I gave it a 4 was because it tried to access all my photos which was kinda personal space invading but other than that it’s a great app and I recommend it to curious people. ### 1/5 — BOO! *2023-04-12, version 1.1.0* I did it and nothing came up ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-04-11, version 1.1.0* It Identified a snake as a plant… ### 3/5 — Okay *2023-03-03* Seems okay, but there is not a Wikipedia page or picture for some of the animals, so I can never fact-check it. I deleted it because of this but may re-install if it gets updated with more wiki pages. Also, it seems to not think dog breed mixes exist, I don’t expect them to get the breed right every time or add ALL the mixes, but I would like some of the more popular mixes, like the golden doodle, idk. But yea. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2023-09-05* I was out in the desert today and I found a type of lizard and I wanted to see what type. And it didn’t identify it for me, or my step sisters dog **Developer response:** Puoi riprovare ### 1/5 — 😡 *2023-08-09* I tried to identify a snake I caught in the wild and it said was zoo. Would not recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Zoo *2023-07-22, version 1.1.0* It said a squirrel was a zoo. Bro is a whole zoo. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-06-23* Downloaded and it says cannot connect to server. Meh **Developer response:** sorry.you can try again. ### 1/5 — bro what 😭 *2023-06-19* I was trying to find a breed of a chicken. It said it was a dinosaur. I decided to double check if the app actually worked by using it on my meat chicken that I raised for FFA since i know its breed and it said it was a muscovy duck. **Developer response:** I'm sorry for the confusion. Our app might have some inaccuracies when identifying breeds, and we are constantly working to improve its accuracy. Thank you for your feedback, and we appreciate your understanding. ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-05-30, version 1.1.0* Did not even load ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!!
