### 5/5 — Muy útil y necesario

*2024-11-20, version 4.10.0*

Muy útil y completa la aplicación, permite sacarnos dudas y reconocer  especies que nos vamos encontrando. Se agradece a los creadores.

### 2/5 — Pilzerkennung

*2024-10-20*

erkennt viele Pilze nicht!!!

### 1/5 — Ne sert à rien

*2024-10-11*

Pas de reconnaissance avec photo , on court au fond des bois en devinant que c est une lépiote élevée , dite coulemelle qui n est même pas référencée … heureusement qu elle est évidente celle la . Appli vide ! Aucun intérêt

### 3/5 — Picture taking

*2024-02-15*

How can I take a picture with this app?

### 2/5 — Not nearly enough content.

*2023-10-30*

The free version of this app includes only 20 species, which is not enough to discern whether it contains enough data to be useful. You can upgrade to the pro version for $9 but that only includes 300 species which is not even close to being useful. If the free version contained 300 species and the pro version contained good, reliable information on several thousand species, $8.99 would be a great deal. With 300 species, the pro version isn’t useful regardless of price. Too bad, because they layout and features otherwise seems pretty good as a reference to accompany a good photo ID app in the field.

### 1/5 — 10€ für nichts

*2023-10-23*

Totale abzocke.

### 2/5 — NewbieAtIt

*2023-10-19*

I’m giving this two stars mostly for effort and future potential. It’s difficult to navigate without a set of instructions. I expected to be able to download a picture and the app give me the best match, as my plant & bug identifier apps do. Instead, it’s left up to the opinions of other people using the app, which can be all over the map. IT NEEDS A PHOTO IDENTIFIER - BOTH NEWLY TAKEN AND FROM OUR LIBRARIES! Stop wasting my time with converting me to paying for your upgrade (that may be just as lacking.

### 1/5 — Schlecht

*2023-09-30*

Sammelt nur Bilder

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even have common varieties

*2023-09-14*

Signed up for their Pro edition ($8) only to realize it doesn’t even have Reishi or Lions Mane. What are these guys doing in the mushroom game?!?!
