Sometimes it just doesn't seem to be scanning for an AR plane, no yellow square, no message, nothing happening, and I can't press X on the window to get out of it, so I have to force quit. The AR is just a blank screen on another device of mine, with no request to access the camera, and no error message. When it does work, it's really fun! And it's informative. So I'm still giving it 4 stars. ### 4/5 — Bonne application fonctionnelle *2025-03-09* Bonne application fonctionnelle mais les espèces répertoriés ne sont pas nombreuses . J'espère que le développeur va enrichir son application avec divers autres insectes. Je recommande à tous les amoureux de la nation et de science. Merci au développeur. ### 3/5 — peu *2024-08-15* il manque beaucoup d'insecte ety j'aimerais pouvoir ajouter les miens ### 2/5 — 😢😢😢😢 *2024-06-22* ok the game is fine just there is like 20 bugs and only like 4 are for free and when I want to see the bug in real life like in the game the bug is the size of a elephant. ### 3/5 — Not impressed *2023-09-12* For a paid app it should show much more insects and more than some Wikipedia information. It’s good for kids as first step introduction to bugs world. ### 2/5 — Please keep adding more creatures/insects *2023-08-20* Please make sure to add more insects. Number of insects at this point is very little, and due to this reason I chose to provide only one star rating (Although it seems two stars rating). Please! My Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max (Latest iOS), iPad Pro 12.9” (3rd Generation, 2018, latest iPadOS) Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application. ### 4/5 — How to change language? *2023-07-14* How to change language? ### 4/5 — of corse *2022-08-18* dbmah ### 4/5 — This is a great game, but. . . *2021-10-04* This game replicates certain bugs and tells you facts about them. I bought the Explorer and it allowed me to see/inspect more bugs. The game is amazing, but it needs more bugs! Such a great game but few bugs. Please add more such as the Emperor Scorpion, Hercules Beetle, the Giant Hornet, and the Rhino Beetle. I’ll be very happy to see these bugs in the game in the future. ### 1/5 — Shady *2021-09-15* It keeps trying to reload onto my phone. I have deleted it 19 times. Shady. **Developer response:** Hello, Would you please explain more about your problem? If you have any problem with downloading from the app store please contact Apple’s support because there is no loading page or any in-app content downloading on the app. To resolve your issue please concat us via Settings - Support ### 2/5 — Not many *2021-09-12* For an app about insects there are like 20 insects to look at Slightly pointless, it’s ok for free but would be disappointed if I payed for this. **Developer response:** Hello, Please consider that all insects on the app include 3D models that takes time to create the them. So we will add insects in each update to make it more. Regards ### 2/5 — Not for USA *2021-09-11, version 3.1* Fine if you live in Europe or Africa ### 1/5 — Glad I got it for free… What a rip off !!! *2021-09-11* Glad I got this unlocked for free…. Just a handful of bug families… you click on it… for a picture or two… then a link to open and read in Wikipedia…. Total rip off and incomplete software… Save your money… **Developer response:** The app was free for three days and limited time, we are sorry if you did not upgrade it when it was free. We love to send you a free code to unlock it please contact us via settings - support. ### 1/5 — Not for North America *2021-09-10* Of all the bugs listed here only one is found in North America. Unless you’re in Africa, Asia, parts of Europe you’ll find this app useless. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Photo of a grub *2024-02-18* I have bought this app to identify a bug found in the soil of a lily plant finding it most difficult to identify the grub as instructionare no good I cannot move out of my camera mode. A waste of money! Very disappointed. Also doesn’t show many examples of bugs therefore no good !!! ### 1/5 — Scammed *2023-09-14, version 4.2* I wish to express my dissatisfaction and disappointment with the experience I encountered with this application. Despite the initial impression that there was a free lifetime option available, I found myself in a situation where I was unexpectedly charged $21.38 for what was supposed to be a complimentary lifetime subscription. This experience left me feeling scammed and has raised concerns about the app's transparency and business practices. I strongly advise against downloading this app if you want to avoid similar financial pitfalls. It is crucial for businesses to uphold transparency and fairness in their pricing structures to ensure a positive user experience. ### 1/5 — Только английский *2023-09-13* Нет русского языка - 1 звезда!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Scanning feature does not work *2023-09-12* Provides useless directions on how to scan a surface, then provides no way to exit the directions **Developer response:** After scanning the floor you need to tap on screen to place the insect, please revise your review. ### 1/5 — :( *2023-06-04* there are only like less than 30 insects and 2/3 of it needs VIP ### 1/5 — ALL of them!!! *2022-09-24* Why do you do this paid thing ALL the insect identification things do this you have to PAY to do Anything!!! **Developer response:** Because we developers, just like the other people need to work and pay our loans and able to live. You are so greedy to want everything free ### 1/5 — Pitiful *2022-06-25* We will not use Insecta and have selected another app because you blatantly insult God the Creator of all things (including bugs 😍) by promoting sin by the misuse of His rainbow- the promise of not wiping out all creation by flood again. ### 1/5 — 24 insects!!!! *2021-09-25* There's only 24 insects! There are over 900,000 out there! What are the chances of the insect you want more info on is one of the measly 24?!!! No response from The Explorer support! Absolute con! **Developer response:** How can we make 900,000 3D insects models and add it to the app! This is not insects encyclopedia just a fun app to learn about some insect in 3D and AR. We are sorry that this app disappointed you. Each update we add a new insect to the collection. ### 1/5 — Péssimo *2021-09-22* Embora apareça como gratuito os insetos tem que ser pagos a parte. Realidade aumentada não funciona adequadamente. ### 1/5 — Upgrade? *2021-09-20* Keeps trying to upgrade Explorer for $2.99 even though I already have upgraded. **Developer response:** Hello, Would you please contact us via Settings-Support to resolve your problem? Thank you ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great application! *2025-03-09* Great application! It is a lot of interesting facts about each insect, it is a lot of photos and schemes. Each insect can be considered in detail in the 3D format. Many thanks to the developer! ### 5/5 — BEAUTIFUL APP 🐞 *2024-04-21* The app designed very good and colorful, the way you can see insects in 3D or AR is very fun. Please add more bugs in the future. Thanks for adding more bugs. ### 5/5 — Singular excellence *2023-10-08* Been with me for a long time. It's even comforting...its presence even after not opening it for a long time. Great work! ### 5/5 — Amazing AR models *2021-11-08* I’m not sure why people are complaining that the app doesn’t feature every insect known to humankind, or that it doesn’t identify insects from the photos you take. Nowhere does the developer promise to do those things. Very unfair and unreasonable reviews. This is a great app with stunningly detailed AR models. I look forward to seeing which insects are added next! ### 5/5 — Charming *2021-10-11* Slipped me into the world of insects! ### 5/5 — I do macro photography on insects *2021-09-10* Like the title says, I do microphotography of insects,And have done so in a few countries.Would you be interested in some of my extremely detailed macro photography for some bugs in this app that you don’t have yet? If so feel free to drop me an email or respondingTo me in here. Name on this review at yahoo.com will get in touch with me, you can also get in touch with me via Instagram with the same name. There you can also see a couple of my photos, but nowhere near what I have actually takenI have a professional setup, it’s not like I’m using a phone to do it ### 5/5 — Very nice *2021-06-22* Great app! Love it ### 5/5 — Making me pay extra *2021-03-08* This game is really cool, I bought it when it cost money, but since the update, it makes me pay extra money to view insects I previously had access to. It kinda stinks **Developer response:** Hello, We informed users to upgrade the explorer for free. Please contact us to resolve your problem: worldofdinosaurs.app@gmail.com ### 5/5 — WOW! *2020-06-17* I know 2 little boys who is loving the app! My wish, you continue to add more and more! Thank you for this very entertaining and learning app! **Developer response:** Glad to hear that. New insects will be added on each major update stay tuned for more than 6 new insects coming to the app. Thank you ### 5/5 — Bugs *2020-05-22* This app is full of bugs, literally. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
