### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2026-06-03, version 5.10.1*

Thank you for maintaining access for earlier users, it is much appreciated. This app is a wealth of knowledge, I enjoy the pictures and the quiz mode.

### 5/5 — Super App

*2025-10-05*

Habe gerade Pilze gesucht und Steinpilze gefunden. Habe mich gefragt welcher genau es war, weil der Stiel länglich der App direkt den Fichtensteinpilz identifiziert.. Tolle Sache.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2024-10-06, version 4.9.0*

Really cool and informative. Still needs a little brush up work. For instance, there are typos and confusing wording here and there. Also you should be able to drop a pin by touch under the online consultation.

### 4/5 — Yeah, it’s good.

*2024-08-11, version 4.7.0*

Im sure there is some inaccuracy but it seems pretty good all around.

### 3/5 — Much is missing..

*2024-03-31, version 4.0.5*

At least state that you’re in Germany and do not have a more extensive/global list of species. I am in North America. The app only helps me, at most, 30-40% of the time. I paid almost $10 for this and I am quite disappointed.

### 3/5 — Geführtes Lernen wäre gut

*2024-01-04*

Im Pilzquiz fehlen weiterreichende Informationen, wie sie im Artenführer enthalten sind wie die Genießbarkeit. Auch wäre es schön wenn die Erkennung der Unterarten Ritterling, Täubling, Reizger usw beschrieben wird bzw Hinweis zum erkennen gegeben werden! Ggf mit zusätzlichen Bildern. Ansonsten finde ich die App von der gebotenen Leistung akzeptabel.

### 5/5 — Super Pitz App

*2023-05-10*

Super zum Pilze sammeln. Kein Buch mehr mitnehmen. Pilze können schnell bestimmt werden dank des Filters und der guten Fotos.
Das letzte Update hat die Nutzbarkeit des optischen Filters nochmal deutlich verbessert.

### 5/5 — Mycophile JOY

*2023-01-05, version 2.6.0*

I am a myconerd and this is my absolute favorite app.

### 4/5 — Tolle App allerdings mit Manko

*2022-11-03*

Mir gefällt die App an sich sehr gut und die offline Datenbank ist sehr gut wenn man im Wald ist wo die Pilze sich nunmal befinden. Da dort oft kein gutes Netz bis gar kein Netz ist. Allerdings bedarf es bei der Bestimmung einer gewissen Grundkenntnis. Bei manch anderen Apps findet eine Bestimmung/ Einschätzung per Fotoerkennung statt. Welche man hier vergeblich suchen wird. Zudem finde ich die Quiz und lern Funktion sehr gut um die verschiedenen Arten kennenzulernen. 

Jetzt zum Manko ich versuche seit mehreren Tagen meine Fotos hochzuladen und der Community zu präsentieren aber jedes Mal wird gesagt das der Steamserver oder so ausgelastet ist. Wenn ich Bilder von anderen Usern Liken möchte geht dies auch nicht. Bitte beheben oder Abhilfe schaffen. 
Ansonsten gefällt die App mir sehr gut.

### 2/5 — Not so good

*2022-10-28, version 2.6.0*

Per other reviews, names different to UK. ID feature pretty poor and limited. Must confess, regret paying and downloading as won’t be using much.
