### 5/5 — Still trash

*2026-06-22, version 2.12*

You know, I wrote a review about two years ago because it identified my boxer shorts as a rock so I came back two whole years later to see if he got any better the developer said it was tricky with with recognition he said take pictures from multiple different angles so I did I took pictures for multiple different angles and identify my stone. There wasn’t a stone. It was my hand. My hand from close-up, medium, and far away and every single time it identified a stone there was no stone in sight. It’s just obviously lying.

### 2/5 — Constant technical errors

*2025-10-20, version 2.12*

Seriously when I need to use the app there are technical errors.  Come on and fix it please.  Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t hardly work

*2025-07-19, version 2.10*

I pay for this app and have not been able to get it to work for months! When it was working it would work maybe 25% of the time if I was lucky! I have given this multiple chances and am canceling my subscription and deleting! Don’t bother it’s a waste of time and money!

### 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 — Can’t read the reviews

*2025-02-21, version 2.10*

What good does it do to have 660 reviews if we can’t see them? AND a response from an AI that is essentially no response. Why would I need to contact you? I just did. HERE  in my review. Now DO something that isn’t passive aggressive. Fix your app or stop claiming it can ID gemstones when it misses the mark 90% of the time. THAT’s why you reviews are inaccessible.

### 1/5 — Why does it cost money :(

*2025-01-26, version 2.10*

I have tons of gems and didn’t know what they were so I got this app and it said it knew what was then it said get a subscription!? I am not paying 8 dollars a week and I probably won’t use it as long as a year. I don’t know why the biggest feature costs money I think it would be better if there was little features that cost money like having it save the gem you do. My opinion is that a free one probably would be better. And others say it’s not even accurate. Im going get a free one

Yeah… I found a better free one

### 2/5 — DON’T DOWNLOAD

*2025-01-23, version 2.9*

This game is free and all, but when you download it, you have to subscribe (NOT FREE) JUST to use the app?!?!? Again, DO NOT DOWNLOAD

### 1/5 — Diamonds

*2024-10-29, version 2.4*

I have a few jewels and some are diamonds and some are crystals , I don’t think the app got it right as it was showing me that they were all diamonds

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2024-10-25, version 2.4*

Yo, this app is garbage first i tried it on a stone. I found in my backyard after it found a match, but it didn’t tell me what it was after that. it matched again and you know what the picture was my boxers.it identified my pants as stones need I say more

### 1/5 — Poor Camera Use and Inability to ID

*2024-09-30, version 2.4*

Tried the trial. Firstly, the camera is impossible to use. If you leave focus at the preset level it cannot ID and says sample is too small. If you increase focus you cannot even find the sample without waving the camera all over the background. Never could ID a single sample.
