It didn’t recognise even diamond. ### 2/5 — NOT FREE *2024-03-12, version 2.2.6* I gave 2 stars for the benefit of the doubt, as I won’t pay. ### 2/5 — So much paying but it gives good results *2023-12-12, version 2.2.6* It has so much paying for stuff. If you want to search the library, paywall, want to not have to delete identification to get more identification, paywall. But, I found out that I have ocean jasper so that’s cool I guess ### 4/5 — This app is good *2023-08-21, version 2.2.5* I personally love the app and I love using it on rocks I find on the street and in the mountains ### 3/5 — . *2023-07-19, version 2.2.4* Kinda disappointed, needs a premium to use. ### 4/5 — I think this game is really good *2023-07-17, version 2.2.4* I really think I like this game. I get to see so many rocks that I didn’t know what type they are! I rate a four out of five😊 ### 1/5 — this is really bad but funny *2023-07-12, version 2.2.4* i scanned my face out of curiosity. and unsurprisingly it said i was some type of rock although it was wrong it was super funny to scan random things and see what this app thought it was. so i wouldn’t recommend for serious use but rather for fun. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2023-07-09, version 2.2.4* You can only take a photo of one rock in the accuracy is normally less than 70 you can’t know the worth of the rock unless you buy premium anything you wish to do it only takes you to the premium page not worth it would not get the app ### 2/5 — Why Pay? *2023-07-07, version 2.2.4* This app makes you pay after only one ONE picture! Like what's the point?! I could just look up like rock on Google! It also didn't even get the rock right! I recommend not to buy this app unless you're willing to pay for it. ### 1/5 — This is the worst rock identification *2023-07-07, version 2.2.4* When I keep trying to take a picture of the rock, it just shows a dark screen and it kicks me out of the app like this is so terrible. Do not recommend it. ### 1/5 — Termination *2023-06-28* I am trying to cancel this app. There is no information on how to cancel this. I’ve tried sending emails, they bounce back. I’ve tried texting as well with no luck. Can someone please help me cancel this? I don’t wanna pay again next year. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Nalon Tyson am subscribed to Mrbeast and Ryan Trayhan *2023-06-14, version 2.2.3* It was decent like I get it there is ads but I could only to 1 rock at a time unless I get premium but it was decen. ### 1/5 — Gem identification *2023-06-08, version 2.2.3* This app does not identify stones correctly. ### 1/5 — Nope *2023-05-31, version 2.2.3* So far I have had to watch and participate in 4 ads Without being able to even take a photo of a stone. Before I buy I want to try and the app will not even allow that to happen. There are other apps. Thanks. ### 2/5 — Not accurate *2023-05-01, version 2.2.3* I’m a gemologist and have an advanced laboratory for identifying gemstones. This app is not even close to identifying stones. ### 2/5 — Not accurate *2023-03-23, version 2.2.3* The stones it identified weren’t even closely comparable to the stone I took a picture of. This app is an amazing concept, if only it was accurate in its identification. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nonsense *2025-04-10* I’ve downloaded a handful of these rock/crystal identifier apps now and I get a) the wrong stone b) a list of possibilities ( that doesn’t help me ) c) can’t identity or d) scanning the same rock on different apps and getting different results. Why would you pay money for these apps that don’t do what they are intended to ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work reliably at all *2025-01-02, version 2.3.0* Downloaded 3 day trial. Glad I didn’t pay for this. So frustrating when it says the same name of mineral for several different rocks that are totally different. Then it wouldn’t let me try the app during the free trial without buying premium. This is only one rock. Wow! I would never buy this ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-11-27, version 2.3.0* Took pic of emerald app came up with various unbelievable suggestions than app says any suggestions? Yeah emerald still did not work ### 1/5 — Gives incorrect identification. results are Cubic Zirconia. *2024-08-31, version 2.3.0* Tested stones are Diamonds but your app results were Cubic Zirconia. Rubies are multiple different results when tested repeatedly. ### 1/5 — No confidence *2024-05-13, version 2.2.9* Every stone I asked upon received the same response. Four options and i choose which one I want? No thank you. I’m opting out. ### 1/5 — Gems *2023-12-21, version 2.2.6* This app is rubbish I put up a few expensive stones and the app got it wrong on every piece . ### 1/5 — This app does not identify rocks *2023-08-08, version 2.2.4* It doesn’t work ### 1/5 — TO MANY ADS *2023-07-31, version 2.2.4* SO MANY ADS SO MANY ### 1/5 — Free *2023-07-29, version 2.2.4* This app needs to be free!! ### 1/5 — You have to pay for everything *2023-07-19, version 2.2.4* I just wanted to see what rocks I have in my collection, but I could only scan one and then it tried to make me have to pay to scan my rocks and you can’t do anything else on the app without premium ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Is it real or not? *2024-10-09, version 2.3.0* This is not his skin. It is actually real and I was looking see him. I found this picture.100$dollars is really good.
