## What is Insect Identifier?

Point your camera at a bug and Cicara tells you what it is.

A ladybird on the roses, a wasp by the bin, something with too many legs under a plant pot. Take a photo and you get the name, the scientific name, and the one thing you actually want to know: does it bite or sting, and what should you do about it.

WHAT YOU GET

• The name, in your language, in a few seconds
• A clear risk level: harmless, caution, or dangerous
• What it can actually do to a person, in plain words
• What to do about it in a house or a garden
• Size, family, habitat and season
• One genuinely interesting fact about it

A COLLECTION THAT STAYS YOURS

Every bug you identify is saved with its photo and the day you found it. Over a season the garden becomes a list. Your collection lives on your phone, and the photo sent for identification is not kept afterwards.

AN OFFLINE FIELD GUIDE

Forty common species come with the app: butterflies, beetles, spiders, bees and wasps, ants, flies and mosquitoes, household pests. Searchable, readable on a plane, and it works whether or not you turn identification on.

BUILT TO BE HONEST

Cicara tells you when it is not sure, and shows you what else it could be. Identifications from a photo can be wrong, and the app says so instead of pretending otherwise. The risk notes are general information, not medical advice.

PRIVACY YOU CAN CHECK

Before a single photo leaves your phone, the app tells you what is sent and asks. Decline and the encyclopedia keeps working. Turn it back off any time in Settings. No name, no email, no account, no location, no tracking.

CICARA PRO

Taking the photo is free. Cicara Pro is what opens the answer: the name, the risk level and what to do about it, for as many bugs as you meet. The offline encyclopedia of forty species stays free either way.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and it renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-08

The three-a-day free allowance is gone, and so is the counter. Photographing costs nothing, and your photo now stays on the phone until you decide: it is only sent for identification once you subscribe. Reading the identification - the name, the risk level and what to do about it - is what Cicara Pro opens.

If you have not subscribed, you will now see the occasional full-screen ad between screens. It never covers a result or the camera, and watching one unlocks nothing - subscribing is what opens the identification, and it also removes the ads.

The Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use now open in your own language instead of English.

The app also started counting which screens get used, so we can see what to improve next. No photo, no identification text, no name and no location goes into that count.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-03

No release notes.
