### 4/5 — Very accurate

*2025-07-03*

I’ve used it to identify a few birds and plants—results were spot on. Highly recommend it!

### 4/5 — Highly Recommended!

*2025-06-21, version 1.1.7*

I didn’t expect it to work this well. Very accurate results and the save history feature is really helpful for tracking discoveries.

### 4/5 — Fast and Reliable

*2025-06-18, version 1.1.7*

The identification is super quick, and the info is detailed. I’ve already identified several bugs and plants in my garden.

### 2/5 — I do not like this game!!

*2024-06-24*

I do not like the idea of expiring a fake trial and I only used it for a few seconds.

### 1/5 — Dissappointed

*2022-12-21, version 1.0.3*

Didn’t get the free trial it charged my account and it couldn’t identify the bug.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2022-09-21*

First time I leave an app review and this app is the worst I have ever had to deal with! I have an IPhone 13 pro and this app still couldn’t figure it out what I was taking a picture of and would never focus!

### 5/5 — This is good ‌

### 1/5 — Why are they always subscription based apps..?

*2024-09-30*

Why is it that every single one of these educational apps requires stupid subscriptions? I’m not giving you a monthly subscription for an app that just tells me about wildlife.. horrible apps like these are what ruin the App Store.

### 1/5 — Keeps closing out

*2024-05-20*

Not working at all. Disappointed.

### 1/5 — This app does not work. It shuts down when trying to load a photo.

*2024-05-06*

App doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — So Disappointed

*2024-05-03*

I have had misidentified bugs 75% of the time. Recently, I attempted to take a pic of some type of bee. Each time I took the pic , the app shut down. I have an iphone 13 so its not my phone. I have tried reaching out for help and received no reply. I make the mistake of paying for a full year for something that doesn't work. 🤦🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-02-02*

This app stopped working. Don’t buy it.

### 1/5 — So Disappointed

### 1/5 — Unacceptable

*2023-10-01*

I was charged and can’t get a refund. I cancelled the subscription immediately after downloading it and agreeing to the free trial.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2023-08-14*

Complete junk. Absolutely junk. Free trial bills you immediately. Junk.

### 1/5 — Don’t advise this at all

*2023-06-27, version 1.0.4*

I downloaded the App, chose the Free Trial option. Used the App once to try and identify a bug and nothing would load. Tried again, same thing, so I immediately cancelled the free trial through Subscription Settings on my device. Next thing I know I’ve been charged $57.99 within an hour via PayPal and have had to submit a Refund Request via Apple which could take 48 hours. Not happy!!!!!

### 1/5 — Not enough accuracy

*2023-04-15, version 1.0.3*

I’ve had this app less than an hour and it keeps giving inaccurate information. With insects, mushrooms, plants, this could be very dangerous.

### 5/5 — Fun and Educational

*2025-06-20, version 1.1.7*

This app makes exploring nature more fun. My kids love using it too! We’ve learned so much about insects and birds.

### 5/5 — Excellent Every Time

*2023-07-01*

I’ve used this app for two years and have never had a problem.  Sometimes I’ll take a photo/search twice just to confirm if the object is very similar to another.  So far it’s been spot on with plants, birds and insects and mushrooms are waiting to be identified in our property.  This, by the way, is a real review from a real reviewer.  I pay a monthly fee and it’s well worth it and I suggest you at least try the free version.

### 5/5 — App is great and the kids love it!

I love this app. ⁣⁣⁣⁣　 I’ve used it to identify all sorts of insects around my house that I have never seen before!  ‌ 　 ‌ ⁣⁣⁣⁣

### 5/5 — Very helpful app

*2022-09-07, version 1.0.3*

App Correctly identified the insect. ⁣⁣⁣⁣　 Thank you‎ ‭.
