### 1/5 — Worst rock game ever

*2026-07-31, version 1.0.1*

My kids were so excited about testing it by different rocks and they waited over 1 to 3 hours i told them that they were wasting their time but they got so bored that they were going crazy and wrecked the whole house.

### 5/5 — A lie(For a good reason).

*2026-07-13, version 1.0.1*

You actually don’t need To buy anything. When it says you need to buy something, just click the X on the top right corner of your screen. And scanning rocks need no 
Money. Scanning a rock will tell you a couple of thinks it’s made out of and what the rock is called. If you are a rock collector. I would recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-07-12, version 1.0.1*

Me and my cousin were playing games with my iPad when we got an add for this app and l tried it out and we were scanning like crazy!!

### 2/5 — ☹️☹️☹️🙂🙂

*2026-06-28, version 1.0.1*

I love it that I can tell what rocket is, but you have to pay and there’s too many ads

### 1/5 — Or what you think it is

*2026-04-24, version 1.0.1*

This stone has nothing going for it

### 1/5 — Not recognizing payment

*2026-02-25, version 1.0.1*

Yesterday I signed up for monthly rock identification through Apple App Store. Took lots of photos, some rocks were correct. One, large soft blue rock was identified as emerald.  Quite wrong. Today I needed to buy the premium plan to ID rocks again or not see anything. Yesterday’s effort unavailable.

### 3/5 — Idk

*2026-01-31, version 1.0.1*

Idk

### 4/5 — How to change to different modes

*2025-07-23, version 1.0.1*

How do I make it estimate the value of the rock and if cannot please add it🔜

### 1/5 — It’s just butt

*2025-07-16, version 1.0.1*

If take a picture of a rock 2x it will come w/ different outputs.

### 5/5 — Super Helpful!

*2025-07-08*

I love how easy this app is to use. I just take a quick picture of a rock, and it tells me exactly what it is! Great for hikes and learning more about my crystal collection. Totally worth it!
