This app sucks

I mainly wanted it to identify the bug bites I’m getting and I don’t feel like I’m getting great info.

Australian insects too

This is a terrible app if you live outside the USA. I had some local Australian ants identified incorrectly five times. As soon as I looked on another app it IDed them instantly.
If you intend this for US/North American insects only, that should be plainly stated.

Great app!!

I’ve been a bug enthusiast for quite a while now and I always want to know more about the bugs I find so getting this app was amazing, it’s quite accurate with it’s species identification and I’ve only had to correct the species very few times. If you like learning more about insects I definitely recommend this app it helps with species identification and it gives you specific information on the insects once they’ve identified them. 10/10

Immediately charged me before 7 days free trial.

I downloaded app that was supposed to be free for 7 days. The moment I opened the app they charged me, when it should have in 7 days. Now waiting for them to remove the charge, as immediately cancelled. Messed up, dishonest way to do business period. Don’t deserve one star.

Bad reviews

If we don’t have the money we should still be able to see what affects there are

Overpriced - No pro rated refund!!!

$43.69 incl tax; I used app one time and neglected to cancel during trial subscription period. I would happily pay for a prorated portion of the annual subscription, but that isn’t available. Unacceptable refund policy by this developer. Enjoy the money. It’s the last you will get from me!

Everything is an add

You cannot just take a picture and identify a bug bite. They want you to pay them first and even when done the app is unusable and they try to sell you on more with pop ups and ads.

Venomous poisonous

One problem I have is that sometimes when a bug is poisonous, the app says that it is venomous. For example, the monarch butterfly is labeled as venomous. Even though it is poisonous.

so……..

This app is ok…… Sometimes it is correct and sometimes it’s not. I took a picture of a June bug and it said it was Some other beetle, I searched it up and it is not the scientific name of a June bug

Boycott AI please!

Absolutely love this app, my go to! I love looking for an identifying insects and it’s incredibly helpful when getting advice on my pet snails, isopods and spider ! The in app AI Dr Buzzy is my favourite !! I used to spend hours going on google deep dives to find an answer but now I just need to ask dr buzzy ! The makers of this app have done an incredible job!



Update; with AI increasing and the impact it’s having on the environment, especially in contributing to the climate crisis and the endangering of bees in particular, I can no longer support it. We can’t survive without insects. I love and appreciate them so much and was so excited to have a convenient way to ask my questions. Not any more. Please, if you truly care for these amazing creatures living alongside us, remove your AI chat feature. Each search consumes a water bottle. It’s not worth it!! We only have limited amounts of drinking water ! This age of AI isn’t the new future; with it there is no future. At least for humans, I’m sure the earth will shake us off like a bad case of fleas before it reaches its end.

Please think about my words and consider your position on generative AI and these chat features

Thank you

Free trial cost me $10

Tired of the ‘free trial’ system where it’s set to automatically subscribe - this one charged me $10 immediately. DO NOT USE THIS APP!

Picture Insect: Bug Identifier

👍🏾

Awesome app!

Very good app in finding out what an insect is but not always right. 3 pics of same bug 3 different angles 3 different answers.

GET IT

i love this app so much!!! i love learning about bugs and using the app to identify them is so fun. my camera roll is just full of bug pics to identify them on picture insect

Very useful

This is a very useful and informative app. We live in rural Kentucky and often encounter insects and spiders unknown to us. It’s nice to have this on my phone to help with identification.

I love bugs that eat bugs

Very good app

Bug reviews

I really like this app! I think it is really cool especially how it works. Although, it can sometimes be a little slow.

good app

i’ve been using this app for nearly 4 years and it’s great

WAS great, now it’s AI slop

This app used to hire horticulturist and etymologist, and the answers were excellent.
Now it’s fed all that the horticulturists and etymologists taught them into AI, and the results are AI slop….
Worse, this app now warms the planet and disrupts bees’ and other critical pollinator’s abilities to fly, with AI data centers… That this app would choose AI slop and climate warming - THE greatest threat to critical pollinators, when the app relies on the survival of plants, insects, birds…
Also, now thy have chosen to steal jobs from horticulturists and etymologists - the very experts who made their app possible.
Whoever owns this app is horrible. Boycott AI if you care about insects, birds, plants, human survival.

perfectly advertised

Has a free plan and is typically correct with analysis. I would absolutely recommend it.
