Never was even able to login after purchase of subscription ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2023-06-30, version 1.4.0* Freezes at 75% with any picture. I tried a monarch butterfly, a honeybee, and a western tiger swallowtail, all of which should have been readily identifiable. ### 1/5 — WONT LOAD ANY INFO *2023-06-08* as stated by other reviewers this app freezes every time at 75% and says the connection timed out. useless, glad it was inoperable from the get so i didnt get cheated out of money paying for the subscription ### 1/5 — 75% and buffering…….🔄 *2023-02-01, version 1.4.0* Not very dependable, seems to get stuck on “searching insect name “ every time I use. Not re-subscribing! 👎 ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2022-09-27* This app is not worth even looking at. It never fully identified any insects. It stops short at 75% identification and then is loading for hours. Get an actual book and identify 100% if your insects. ### 1/5 — Does not work just get to 75% then it never loads *2022-07-30, version 1.4.0* Exactly what the title said:( ### 1/5 — Awful and I should never have paid for the annual subscription *2022-07-26* No trial period so I see the positive reviews and purchased. What a mistake. It crashes, doesn’t identify anything, and is basically a scam. Buyer beware! ### 1/5 — FLAT OUT PRICING LIE *2022-07-24, version 1.4.0* I paid for a one month subscription for 4.99. When I went to cancel the subscription it was recurring at 6.99. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-07-20, version 1.4.0* App might be great. Hangs every single time at 75% so I can’t say how good the results are. ### 1/5 — Bug app has bugs *2022-04-23, version 1.4.0* I subscribed to this for the year, tried to use it several times, and the thing is super buggy. After every photo, a screen covered in code appears and then the app stalls while it “screens insect name” indefinitely. It has yet to actually identify a bug for me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The app *2026-05-28, version 1.7.0* The identification feature works even with tiny insects.
