Not worth the money at all! ### 1/5 — Not free *2023-01-14* It gives you one free id and then you have to pay. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2022-12-14* This app is useful when it comes to finding the crystal but it only helps you once and for you take identify more you have to pay and there’s WAY too many ads. Don't waste you’re time and storage downloading this trash app ### 2/5 — Little Accuracy *2022-12-06* I just downloaded the app. Kind of upset I subscribed to find that my Lapis Lazuli was identified and Soladite and my Soladite as Tiger’s eye based off what the stone was wrapped in. Definitely needs more work bug fixes etc. Not a horrible app though. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t identify crystals 90% of the time *2022-11-29, version 1.2.8* Crap ### 1/5 — Too many ads and very limited testing of the app *2022-11-29* Also I gave this ONE star but as of today it shows in the App Store as TWO. -Oops, redownloaded it on a new device accidentally-I confused it for another similar app with a nearly identical app icon- and nope- I STILL hate it as much as I did the first time. It literally had an ad for a low quality money grab/casino style app pop up immediately upon tapping the camera icon. Original review: subscription models are my least favorite type of app in the first place, but I thought maybe I could least do some basic things with this app without coughing up a bunch of money, but alas, no. Annoying ads too. There are other similar apps that late you test out the app’s features in a much better way. ### 1/5 — Faulty *2022-11-21, version 1.2.8* Faulty identification along with faulty activity. Each time, a photo is used for identification, the app stops working. ### 1/5 — Honestly? *2022-10-23* If I wanted to pay to know what my rocks are I’d go to a museum . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why)=< *2026-07-22* It takes one picture and then to take another one I have to pay about 30 dollars to continue taking pictures 🤬 ### 1/5 — MONEY *2025-05-02, version 1.3.1* Why do I have to have subscription just to have fun and do my hobby??!?!?!??!?!?!?? ### 1/5 — Only one use for free *2025-04-03* The game only lets you have one identification for free. I honestly think the game is great, but would be better if it let you have more uses. ### 1/5 — Poor *2025-03-11* Barely found any of my crystals I would not recommend this ### 1/5 — No good *2024-11-03, version 1.3.1* The app is free to download but then you have to pay to even use it or try it. ### 1/5 — Bad don’t buy unless you want to pay for a subscription *2024-08-03* Bought it hoping that it would help but after scanning our first thing it said we have to get subscription 🙄 ### 1/5 — Rock Identifier *2023-10-30* Incredibly inaccurate identifications. Not worth the I wish I could give this app a great review. The info is valuable but the identification is so bad - in the single digits I’d say . it’s completely inaccurate. There has to be a better way to do this. It’s awful. They also charged me for both of their apps- the rock I’d and the gem I’d and were asked multiple times to cancel and ignored those requests. Stay away from these guys. They have very poor business ethics and their identifiers seem to work off of color only- shameless money at all! ### 1/5 — Stopid *2023-09-20, version 1.3.1* I can only do one rock with out premium ### 1/5 — Rock Identifier *2023-09-08* Incredibly inaccurate identifications.

Didn’t correctly identify nothing. A complete waste of resources ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to Use *2024-08-04* User friendly for a newbie to begin a crystal journey! ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-09-23* I picked out petrified wood for this app to identify because every app I’ve ever got was not very good at IDENTIFYING the rock. It picked it up and ID it right. It’s a keeper! ### 5/5 — Okay‎ ‭ *2022-10-14, version 1.2.8* Very Useful and friendly Application. ‌    ‌ ### 5/5 — Mineral Resources ‌ ‌ ‌ *2022-10-14, version 1.2.8* Good rate app love it    ‌　‎ ‭⁣⁣⁣⁣　 ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2022-10-14, version 1.2.8* I’m loving this app even‎ ‭‎ ‭  　 ‌‎ ‭ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ### 5/5 — awesome app‎ ‭ *2022-10-14, version 1.2.8* Accurate so far ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ### 5/5 — Accurate and Fast *2022-10-14, version 1.2.8* What your looking for　  　   ‎ ‭ ### 5/5 — The best *2022-10-14, version 1.2.8* Best app ever for rock identification ‎ ‭ ‌   ‎ ‭ ### 5/5 — Okay‎ ‭ *2022-10-14* Very Useful and friendly Application.  ‌   　 ‌ ### 5/5 — Rock identifier *2022-10-14, version 1.2.8* Thank you for such a great app.‎ ‭      ‎ ‭ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
