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.

Great at identifying but alarming effects

The app has been working well at identifying insects, but I am concerned about how the app flags their effects. It has flagged several insects as harmful to humans or pets. At the top will be a big red "harmful," and when you go down you find out it's because it makes noise at night that might wake you or if provoked it rarely bites and causes mild irritation. There are many people who might squash an insect seeing the harmful flag at the top when that insect overall isn't harmful.

My favorite

My favorite app it’s so informative and accurate

ID bugs at a flash

Great app for identifying insects

Canceled subscription but still being charged

I got the app to help identify a bug bite on my daughter‘s arm that said I could try it for free so I did that option to where you could do a free trial and then after that, you pay a certain amount for a year well I literally canceled my subscription the same day that I got the app and now they’re still trying to charge me $40 for the app and I can’t get a hold of anyone absolutely ridiculous and I’ll never use this app Again

Frustrating and Condescending

I briefly used this app to try to identify a handful of Lepidoptera species. Two of the IDs looked accurate, but the other two didn’t seem right. I consulted a couple other resources, including a field guide, located the species, and attempted to label my photos accordingly in the app. I wasn’t able to, and when I attempted to use the AI Assistant, the AI informed me I was wrong, despite acknowledging that the characteristics of the specimens were, in fact, consistent with the species I identified. After all that, the AI effectively told me the app wouldn’t let me manually add the correct label to the photos. Unsubscribed immediately.

Exceptional

It's usually difficult to get insects to cooperate with photos, but when you are able to get them the information given to you is spot on!

Takes forever

I downloaded this app and when i went in there was a long as introduction by the time it was over the bug was gone thanks👍

Great identifier

This app is the only one that got it right. I have used it multiple times to identify beetles bugs or insects and it has been correct where other apps did not.

Love this app so much

This app is genuinely one of the coolest I have it tells me the exact bug or insect I find almost 90% of the time this app is so fking cool for a bug nerd

LOVE THIS APP!!!

i have the basic form of the app with ads and it’s helped me so much with different crawlers in my garden! it’s helped me get over my arachnophobia and discover so many different species.

sometimes the results are a little off, but it gives you multiple results and is super helpful! i highly recommend this app to all my friends and family because i am the designated “bug person” in my family and friend groups.

Very helpful!

We live in the woods and these bugs appear almost out of nowhere.

Love this!

This is such a handy app for quickly identifying an endless variety of bugs and insects. Thank you so much for making this wonderful app.

AI now - climate warming job stealing slop.

This app used to be better now it’s using AI - which should be against their principles given that they rely on nature and insects… just slop now.
