This App is Crap
I bought this app and picked some mushrooms in the forest. Every time I took a photo of them I got the message that they were probably not mushrooms. They were definitely mushrooms.
This app can kill you
This app has issue to analyze the deadly mushrooms!
Extremely Useful
This app is extremely useful and a must have for the mushroom enthusiast . Great field guide!
Terrible and inaccurate app
I would like a refund. This app is rubbish. It identified a dyrad saddle mushroom as 7 different mushrooms in a row... not an app you can use to be trust worthy. How can I get a refund?
Not satisfied
Highly inaccurate search. 99% of the time I try to identify a mushroom, the wrong ones show up and I have to search for them myself through the database. Although I know not all mushrooms are in the database, the search option is still inaccurate for the the ones that are in the database. I am honestly not pleased with the app and I wish I could have a refund.

Dangerous
It’s not possible to edit a mushroom identity, if it’s not in the predefined set of possibilities. The app identified a destroying angel as a stinkhorn, and wouldn’t let me edit the details. Also can’t update the location if you upload the photo somewhere other than where you took it.
Not great for identifying, but...
This app does not do a good job identifying mushrooms from your photographs. In fact it has never correctly identified anything I’ve submitted a search for. But it does give good descriptions and pictures of many species found in my area.
New to forage
I have been cross referencing with my mushroom groups on FB. Very useful...don’t trust a mushroom unless absolutely sure.
Good app
Needs more mushrooms
Super cool!
I like this app a lot so far...

Thank you Mont1Python!
Not worth the money 😩
I was excited to try something that might narrow down some of my unknown mushrooms and let me record my locations, but after trying it out with the known species, I was very disappointed in how inaccurate the App’s photo identification is. I used multiple photos of the same species (different angles and lighting) to see if a better quality photo would make a difference in accuracy. It misidentified every photo and species except the Chicken of the Woods and black trumpets. It could not ID Hen of the Woods, chanterelles (2 sp), painted bolete, Old Man of the Woods, Dryad’s Saddle, and several other inedible species, each with multiple photo ID attempts. Also, the app froze every time a photo was deleted from the photo ID list.
As for the location record, I could only record the current location while using the app, it would not let me pin a location for a previously found mushroom, not helpful for places with no cell and/or gps service.
Bottom line, if you’re spending money, get a regular ID app if you want something reliable and DEFINITELY don’t rely on this App for edibles vs poisonous varieties!!!

Not bad but not worth the price
Good info on lots of mushrooms but lacking in bracket fungus.
In general, I am happy
In general, I am happy. Of course, not all mushrooms are in the guide (this is impossible), but more than in other similar apps and in most books. Certainly not all my photos are recognized by 100% correctly, but in my experience, in most cases, the correct answer among the top 3-4 in the list of the most similar. This is not bad i think. So I will wait for spring and check it all in the forest. I wish the developers not to stop adding new species and improve the accuracy of recognition.

Thank you so much for the feedback! We thrive to give our users better experience and keep improving the app!
Do not buy this.
I have used nothing but very clear photos and have had ZERO correct identifications. Useless app.
Response from developer
We appreciate if you send us these pics to support@app-grade.com and we check what could go wrong. Ever since the launch only one user sent his pics and we have solved the problem. Looking forward to hear you.
No
You get drawings, no pictures. Waste of money.
Обман
Абсолютно бесполезная программа. Не определяет грибы из 100 - процентов 99. Во многих словах отсутствуют буквы. Предложения в заголовках неполные, непонятен смысл. Цвета в фоновых рисунках аж пестрят, неудобно для глаз. Не покупайте приложение. За него деньги вам не вернут!
Failed
First three mushrooms I tried to identify were a complete mismatch. One pale brown coloured mushroom was matched to a bright red beef steak mushroom with 75% confidence!
Needs work

Mega!
If I was eating mushrooms that I foraged and was using this app to identify them I’d be dead by now 🙉
Hunting mode?
Can’t seem to access any sort of map or gps enabled “hunting mode”. Can I have my mooolah back? That’s the only reason I bought it. I have an up to date iPhone so all the features from your picture advertisements should work!
Response from developer
Hi Junior, the mushroom map is being created along the identifying process. After you make a picture and identify the mushroom press the YES button. Thus, you confirm that the fungus is recognized correctly and create a photo-note with reference to the map. After you have at least one photo tag, you can access it from the main screen, and open the map with all the places marked there. Don't hesitate to contact our tech support - support@app-grade.com and ask any question you have!
Great app
This app is great because it has over 170 species of mushrooms in its guide and this lets you identify mushrooms offline so you don t need service to identify them!

Thank you! Many users asked for this feature and we are happy you enjoy it!
