Great design and works like a charm every time! ### 5/5 — Sensational *2021-06-23, version 1.0* This is a great app, it’s fun to use even if I’m just out in my yard.

Thank you! ### 5/5 — The BEST identifier app *2021-06-23, version 1.0* I uploaded a pic of a bug, and it identified it as a pharaoh cicada ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money and time *2024-12-03, version 1.0.6* recognition is sloppy. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-06-15* The camera doesn’t even focus… DO NOT BUY ### 1/5 — Useless unless you pay *2022-09-10* Free app that bombards you with ads as soon as you open it. Didn’t even make it to the main screen. Useless. ### 1/5 — Basura *2022-07-05, version 1.0.5* Solo he buscado un insecto y aparte de que me ha mostrado uno completamente diferente me ha regado de anuncios para que compre la versión premium. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous Waste of Time *2022-07-01* This is a terrible app. Trying to identity a bug and being sent constantly to “premium” is such a hassle! I’m definitely deleting this app! ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2021-10-18* I paid for the one week subscription and every time I used it, I received a message stating that no information was available. This was a total waste of money! ### 1/5 — Why bother with this app *2021-08-17, version 1.0* I paid my yearly subscription but I’m getting adds. If I take a photo of a bug it says ID of plant not found. Yes I have your plant identifier as well. That app works. I have to take a photo with my phone camera store that on the phone. Then select that with the bug identifier App and it’s then hit or miss if it gets the description anywhere near what you see. This was a waste of money and I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-07-31* I kept focusing on a cicada and it kept offering a leaf as the object and said to retry. Finally I gave up. ### 1/5 — Cannot determine that it works *2021-07-19* The app needs to demonstrate that it works well before hounding you to subscribe - this one doesn’t. It is possible it works well, but I’m not going to subscribe to find out the answer ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-07-14* I have taken a scan of several bugs. None were identified correctly. A flea beetle was identified as a praying manthis. Then I get the message “plant can’t be identified at this time.” Plant??? I’m trying to ID the big. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for kids and learning *2025-07-06* My son is obsessed with insects, and this app makes it fun to learn. Super accurate and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Fast and accurate *2025-07-04* This app identified a rare insect I had never seen before. Very impressed by the speed and results! ### 5/5 — Super useful app! *2025-07-02* I took a photo of a bug in my garden and got instant results. It even linked to Wikipedia for more info. Love it! ### 5/5 — JohnMcNorton *2023-12-30* It’s a great system, but it just didn’t work on my phone. I have a very old old old iPhone. ### 5/5 — Bug ID *2021-08-29* This is the coolest thing. I have the name of many bugs. Great curiosity satisfier ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2021-06-23, version 1.0* This app comes in handy on all of our family nature walks and in daily life. I love it! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2021-06-23, version 1.0* This app comes in handy on all of our family nature walks and in daily life. I love it! ### 5/5 — Very helpful app! Excellent app! *2021-06-23, version 1.0* I love love love this app! I wish the in app camera had a light ### 5/5 — What a great app! *2021-06-23, version 1.0* I love using this app. I don’t usually write reviews, but I’m constantly pulling out my phone to identify species with this app. Rather than being technology that distracts you from the world around you, this app informs you of the world around you. ### 5/5 — Works well *2021-06-23, version 1.0* If I could 1000/5!!! Really simple, really easy, really fun. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
