Waste of space

I don’t think this app knows a rock from a seashell.

Does not work

App will not allow the camera function to take picture of shell to open up. It immediately closes the App down. I deleted the App and reinstalled but it still did the same thing. Disappointing I paid for a year subscription before I had a chance to try it!! Lesson learned…

lazy

i like checking stuff but like i can only check 1 seashell before it asks for a premium pass, i cant really check all my seashells, any reason?

Ridiculous

I hate buying something that it doesn’t let you try first. Can’t tell if this works or not. My one and only scanned shell was kind of glitchy.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear about your experience 🙏. We understand it’s frustrating not being able to try more freely. Please contact us at support@appmerge.net so we can help and look into the glitch you mentioned.

Awesome tool

Great design, quick results, and lots of interesting info. Highly recommend!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! 💙 We’re happy you’re enjoying the app. If you ever have ideas for improvement, we’d love to hear them at support@appmerge.net.

Waste of coding

This app has been wrong in pretty much 90% or more of the shells…. If I could give it negative stars I would.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear the results didn’t meet your expectations. Our identification engine is still learning and improving with every scan — especially for rare or visually similar shell types. Your feedback helps us train and refine the model further. We hope you'll consider trying it again after upcoming updates, which include improved accuracy and more diverse shell datasets.

When you know more than the App

I purchased for $14.99, started with high hopes to be able to store shell collection, but the shells I knew what they were all identified incorrectly. VERY disappointed.

Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment. 🙏 Accuracy is something we’re actively working to improve, and your feedback is very important for that process. If you could share examples of the shells that were misidentified, please email us at support@appmerge.net — this will help us refine the app further. Thank you for giving it a try.

Didn’t really like it

I mean, yes, to be honest it worked, but they should really lower their price too expensive and sometimes it just glitches me out so honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it but it’s OK☹️

Response from developer

Hi Roblox Ada, Thanks for trying out the app and leaving your feedback. We're sorry to hear the pricing felt too high and that you experienced glitches. We’re actively working to improve both performance and user experience in upcoming updates. Could you kindly share what kind of pricing you would find more reasonable for the full version? We'd really value your input. You can reach us at psikologsametak@gmail.com — we’d love to hear from you!

Should’ve read the reviews

Did one scan it identified the wrong Shell. Try to do another scan in another angle and it kept using the first picture not the newest.

Response from developer

Hi EBrasac, Thanks for your review and sorry you ran into issues with scan accuracy. It sounds like the app may have reused a cached image. We’re working on better session handling and image refresh logic in our next release. If possible, could you email us at psikologsametak@gmail.com with a short description or screenshots of the issue? This will help us improve image handling and ensure you get the correct identifications in the future. Thanks again for your support and patience!

DD Osama fan

I HATE THIS GAME! I used it 1 Time and tried doing it again but I had to buy it for me to try it again

Response from developer

Sorry to hear about your experience! Sea Shell Identifier isn’t a game, but an educational tool for identifying shells. The free version allows limited scans, and a subscription unlocks all features. We’re working on improving the user journey so expectations are clearer. For feedback or support, feel free to email us at psikologsametak@gmail.com — we’d love to help!

Can’t identify correctly

It misidentified the first 2 shells I scanned. Not every mollusk is a FL fighting conch

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry the results were inaccurate. Our AI improves with use and data, and your report helps us fine-tune results. Identification can sometimes be tricky with visually similar shells. Please feel free to email a photo and details to psikologsametak@gmail.com — we’d be happy to take a closer look and assist!

Dissatisfied

This would have been a great app if it said the correct name for the shells. I just bought this about 30 minutes ago so I want a refund. I will dispute this charge.

Response from developer

Please send an e-mail to psikologsametak@gmail.com and we will help you.

Not good

Don’t waste your money.

Response from developer

Thank you for your criticism. Let us know why you think so and where we went wrong at psikologsametak@gmail.com. Best regards.

The worst thing ever

When I first got this is was working but then after 1 hour it was saying that I had to buy it again even if I just did.

Response from developer

Please contact me at psikologsametak@gmail.com and we will solve your problem quickly. Please restore it and if you encounter any problems, please contact me again via e-mail.

Just don’t.

Blurry pictures. It’s not my camera

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. Just to clarify — your photos are not sent blurry to our database. The original quality is preserved. However, if the image itself is blurry, the AI may not detect enough detail to make an accurate match. Clear close-ups usually give the best results. Thanks for using Sea Shell Identifier!

Not accurate

Scanned one shell 4x, different answer each time. Scanned a Pacific Ocean cockle clam shell, was told it was Atlantic Ocean scallop.

Response from developer

Waste of money

Identified many of my seashells incorrectly. I think it prioritises colour first ?? I ended up googling for hours to get the correct answer. $30 wasted.

Response from developer

We're sorry to hear about your experience. Our AI is continuously learning, and we appreciate your feedback. Could you reach out to us via email at psikologsametak@gmail.com with more details? We'd love to improve and find a way to make this right for you.

Extremely Disappointed

I downloaded this app in the hopes of being able to identify a large variety of shells that I have. I was mindful of all the guidelines when taking photos. The scan part of the app well at all. I did find it helpful to take a photo and then use the photo but still that’s an extra step that I didn’t plan on using. Accuracy is not on point as I found myself having to search the Internet to compare and found many discrepancies. Very disappointed I wish there was a way to get my money back since I only used it a few times.
