User reviews

Identifier

The shell profiles have enough info for a casual look, nothing too in-depth but it works.

Review

It's okay but the subscription is a bit steep for what is essentially a shell guessing game.

Amazing

Good for keeping a record of what I find on my walks.

Beach trips just got smarter

my kids loved using this on our Cornwall holiday, it made identifying shells into a fun little game for them

Finally an app that knows my shells

took this on a trip to dorset and it helped identify loads of shells we found along the jurassic coast. the safety info about which ones to handle with care was really usefull. i'd give it a go if you're into beachcombing
