Danke an den Entwickler. Wenn ich mir ein Feature wünschen könnte, wären es mehr Pilze zur Auswahl. Auch wenn wir klar ist, dass das mit dem einlernen erheblichen Entwicklungsaufwand bedeutet. Ein quick win, der für mich die App gleich viel brauchbarer machen würde, wäre ein sehr einfaches Feature. In der Seite, auf welcher man den Ort des Pilzes eintragen kann, bei dem Pilz mit Fragezeichen einen Freitext zulassen. Kann kann man Pilze frei benennen (und weiß auch noch nächstes Jahr was man wo gefunden hat, wenn der Pilz noch nicht in. Der Datenbank ist). Danke danke danke ### 4/5 — Great reference *2024-12-03* For most searches it’s dead-on. However, nothing’s perfect, or maybe it’s my photos, but even when it’s a little off it’s still helpful enough to lead me to another reference for an accurate identification. Keeping it! ### 5/5 — Interested in learning about mushrooms? Start here! *2024-05-29* A wonderful app if you’re looking to identify mushrooms in forests around your home! Bonus points for informing you of their dangers and calling you out if you plan to solely use it to eat said random mushrooms in the forest, lol :) ### 4/5 — . *2024-05-14, version 1.21* Very impressed, useful info, will continue to use while out with my granddaughter ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-03-21, version 1.21* Just wish questions were answered ### 4/5 — Identifying mushrooms *2024-01-01, version 1.21* Thanks I’m pretty sure this is a chanterelle but I need to do a spore test yet ### 5/5 — Mushroom ID App *2023-12-29, version 1.21* This app is fun to have an idea of what mushrooms you’re looking at and helps kids get interested in fungi and the world around them. ### 5/5 — Geniale *2023-11-12, version 1.21* Appli fabuleuse qui permet d’accelerer votre identification. Vois scannez, plusieurs choix avec descriptif, il ne reste plus qu’a ouvrir votre lib’vee de champignons à la bonne page pour confirmer. De plus il y a des jeux éducatifs courts qui font acquérir des mécanismes d’identification et de classification ### 4/5 — Great app. *2023-11-09, version 1.21* My only reservation is that I am a total foraging novice, so I can’t validate it’s accuracy. Results so far have given me data that appears to agree with further research I have then done. Where I am liking the app is that does give me a good starting point to then go and get further information. ### 5/5 — Champignonouf *2023-10-31, version 1.21* Excellent free app Easy to use ### 5/5 — Première expérience *2023-10-28* Bonne impression! Après avoir cherché des heures dans mon gros bouquin, l'app a confirmé un avis que je trouvais de plus en plus incertain avec la photo unique du livre, ( qui par ailleurs est assez complet) merci! ### 5/5 — Wonderful App! *2023-10-17, version 1.18* This is an easy to use, fast, mostly accurate, fantastic "in the field" app to accompany your fungi identification books!! ### 5/5 — Great app for identifying mushrooms *2023-10-17, version 1.21* I’ve use this app to confirm my suspicions on identification several times and it’s highly accurate ### 4/5 — Hen of the woods *2023-10-16, version 1.21* Good I’d and simple to use ### 5/5 — L’application adéquate *2023-10-15* Facilité d’utilisation, recherche communautaire, belle application ### 4/5 — On the way to being great *2023-10-15, version 1.19* Once this is fully functioning with more and better photos I believe it will be really useful. ### 5/5 — Fast and easy *2023-10-14, version 1.21* Free fast and easy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wrong every time *2026-07-29, version 1.31* It hasn’t accurately identified a single mushroom that I’ve tried. And if you try to go deeper, you get all these ads popping up and then you can’t get back to the app ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-06-28, version 1.31* Passes itself as free but requires a subscription to use. I’m not interested in professional stuff. I just found a bunch of mushrooms once and want to know what they are. ### 1/5 — Disfunctional at best *2024-01-15, version 1.21* Program just took me in circles. When it did actually bring up potential matches they were so far from the picture as to be totally useless. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-08-11, version 1.18* I am not sure why, but it didn’t work for me. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2023-08-03, version 1.18* It hasn’t accurately identified a single species. I’ll take a picture of a mushroom that clearly has no gills and it tries telling me it’s a gilled mushroom. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-06-28, version 1.18* Uploaded two clear photos of a common mushroom and total fail on suggestions. ### 1/5 — Feels like a scam *2023-06-03, version 1.18* Didn’t recognize the mushroom, said it would get better with time. So I clicked on the one I thought it was and it immediately took me to random ads. Deleted immediately. ### 1/5 — Look closely at the privacy practices here *2023-05-04* The app somehow overrides your phone’s security & general settings. Pop-ups were so numerous & large that I couldn’t close them out safely without agreeing to download something else. I eventually was forced to shut down safari & uninstall the app. Picture identification was terrible- my 5 year old does a better job. I gave this app access to my photos and my privacy & got nothing in return. **Developer response:** The app has nothing to do with Safari and I'm sure you could become a millionaire if you could show that apps are somehow able to change your phone security and general settings, something that secret services around the world are trying to do. ### 1/5 — Free with ads, but poor accuracy *2022-12-02, version 1.18* 6 of 8 misidentifications versus competitor's 7 of 8 correct id's using same pictures; not accurate enough for proper id, which makes app not useful in it's present state. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-10-16, version 1.18* It doesn’t work. All I get is errors. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-11, version 1.31* Really good app for identification from live photos or libraries with detailed descriptions ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-15, version 1.30* The identification ability of this app was great even before the update. ### 5/5 — Mushroom Identificator *2025-06-09, version 1.30* Very helpful ### 5/5 — Bravo pour cette application ! *2024-11-23* A partir d’une photo et de quelques précisions fournit des résultats probables ou alternatifs permettant de se forger une opinion. Description ensuite très complètes ### 5/5 — Empfehlenswert! *2024-10-20* Kostenlose App mit erstaunlich genauen Ergebnissen ### 5/5 — Gute Pilzerkennung inkl. Bestimmung *2024-10-18* Es wird ein Foto gemacht mit Vorschlägen, zusätzlich kann mit weiteren Fragen die Ergebnisse eingegrenzt werden. Sehr wertvoll. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-10-17, version 1.26* Best one around ### 5/5 — Quick and accurate *2024-09-15* Used the app today and found it fast and accurate. ### 5/5 — Отличное приложение *2024-08-05* Хорошо распознаёт грибы ### 5/5 — Easy *2024-06-06, version 1.21* Easy to use and identify --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
