### 2/5 — Not terribly accurate so far

*2026-06-19, version 1.7*

Have only tried three rocks so far but two were way wrong.

### 3/5 — Still sleeping

*2026-05-14, version 1.7*

Still asleep I think

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-03-07*

I am very disappointed with the camera of this app because it does not allow close up pictures and often says picture is blurry when it is not, I brought the membership and wish I could have my money back

### 2/5 — Not always accuse

*2026-02-13, version 1.7*

I only tested the free version on a set of rocks in my collection. First it said the rock was Limestone, 2nd check said Flint, and 3rd check was Obsidian. When I tried again, on the same rock, it said my free trial was over. Sorry, I really wanted it to work.

### 1/5 — Refund Please!

*2026-02-06, version 1.7*

I thought this was free for a while but I can’t use this app because I no longer can hike due to falling at age 73.

### 1/5 — Tanzanite

*2026-02-05, version 1.7*

I used my tanzanite that I just bought from a reputable dealer. It called it a mystic opal.

### 5/5 — Rock ID

*2026-02-02, version 1.7*

Works quickly with minimal effort. Extremely informative regarding composition and history.

### 5/5 — I love Marilyn Manson’s cock!

*2026-01-21, version 1.7*

I love Marilyn Manson’s cock!

### 3/5 — Flawed

*2026-01-18*

I was looking forward to identifying a number of stones that my daughter had collected and polished but the app doesn’t seem to know how to adjust the cameras focus. The ideal spot within the app is too far away for any real identification. I know I can take photos externally and import them but why?

### 2/5 — READ THIS.

*2026-01-13, version 1.7*

This thing only lets me do three rocks or gems at a time. Plus it only guesses. And it crashed. So if you are        ready to get it DO NOT

### 1/5 — NO ES GRATIS

*2026-07-08, version 1.7*

Cuando quieres utilizarlo sale el mensaje de los costos por mes, etc…

### 1/5 — I hate it

*2026-06-22, version 1.7*

This doesn’t get my stones right. It thought my opal was a amethyst

### 1/5 — Basically a scam

*2026-06-08, version 1.7*

Less accurate than any free AI service

### 1/5 — These are minerals, not rocks

*2026-05-30*

Claims to identify rocks, but could not identify a rock I found on a trail correctly. It tried to convince me it was a mineral twice before finally giving me a metamorphic rock that didn’t look anything like my rock. This app identifies minerals, not rocks. When I tried to use he database on my own using the information I already had. The furthest I got was a metamorphic rock, which is a type of rock but I needed to be more specific. Garbage.

**Developer response:** Hello! We always strive to provide the best possible service to our users. We would appreciate more details on the rocks that were misidentified and we kindly ask you to contact our support team at support@aiby.com.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-15, version 1.7*

Don’t get it

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this

*2026-05-10, version 1.7*

It’s so fake  I litterly put the most easiest stone to identify to test this game and yet it got it all wrong , it may me free but I put a purple amethyst and it said it was green adventure which is green btw

### 1/5 — DO NOT TRY

*2026-03-31, version 1.7*

When I was trying to identify my rocks this premium thingy popped up on my screen and I ignored it and clicked close.When I tried to take another photo it popped up on my screen again and it wouldn’t let me take a pic!!!All rock people do not try this app.

### 1/5 — 😫👎🏿

*2026-03-15*

Please don’t get this app. No refunds. Really bad app. 🫤 *I came back after have had deleted it wondering why I had paid for a year subscription for an app I didn’t even have in my phone so I redownloaded it because I obviously forgot how bad it was and it hasn’t been updated since the 7 months I tried to get a refund, still getting every single crystal wrong. Worthless, waste of time and money.

**Developer response:** Hello! We’re sorry for the frustration. We, as developers, don’t have control over refunds, those decisions are handled by Apple. Please reach out to our support team at support@aiby.com, if you haveany issues with the app.

### 1/5 — Too Blurry

*2026-02-16, version 1.7*

That is the only identification I got.  Tried different backgrounds, better lighting, etc.  Does not work

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2026-02-11, version 1.7*

This app does not work. The camera will not focus. It’s not my phone as google camera works fine. Complete rip off. Site has a place to request a refund, then emails you that they don’t have the ability to refund only Apple does.

*2026-07-29*

It was a lot better than two others I tried ,it gives you accurate information it ,also brings up the information quickly ,and you don’t need to pay ,well you can but you have the option to pay or not pay and that helps since my family doesn’t like to pay for apps, it also gives a lot of info ,
