Love it but could use some improvements.
Like I love it but just saying it could be lowkey more accurate…and one annoying thing is that it takes so long for it to find the species and often it says I need to give another angle or something. But if you spotted a rare I dunno snake and you already zoomed in and came very close and like imagine if then seek just said that you need another angle which probably would be depressing cos you’ll probably never see that snake again(this has not happened to me btw just saying)

Dicots everywhere
The idea of the app is cool but it’s horrible. Just says everything is a dicot without actually drilling down further no matter how close or far away from a plant you may be.
Ok but “dicot”?
Works for some things but almost everything I check it says “dicots”. I think it told me that about my pepper plants so i pulled them up. It told me that about another plant and so i moved it over to my shrub and it too was supposedly a dicots. Frustration
Decent, but…
I’m need my macro iPhone lens to kick in. Your use of my camera is not user selectable. Too bad because insects tend not to be human size!
Not as accurate as it used to be
Used to be a wonderful way to learn about new species. I had a professor who suggested this app for school. It was accurate a few years ago. Lately, it’s been off. Perhaps needs an update?
Why does everything use AI
I used to get relatively accurate plant identification from this app. At some point in the recent past, they switched to an AI that could not accurately identify a plant if it was reading a label. I went from correctly identifying plants 9 times out of 10 to identifying a plum tree as a wasp. There were no wasps in the picture. There were hanging plums in the picture. At no point did it identify the plant as a tree, the fruit as a plum, or anything even remotely accurate. I’m deleting this app. I wish that everything that used to be helpful had not become so reliant on the use of AI to fix problems that didn’t exist in the first place.

A good idea but the wrong execution
this app works in theory. but recently i’ve taken a lot of photo of wildlife and flowers such as king snakes or man of the wild’s, this app couldnt identify them at all
Inaccurate - Utter Rubbish
Utterly inaccurate. Finds everything as a didcot. Despite scanning blatantly obvious spieces under test, this app got everyone wrong.
Awesome *UPDATED 8/2026 Below original*
Best identification app! I can do plants, bugs, and more in a one stop shop. Unlike some apps, it nearly never gives incorrect ID, and it will narrow it down to as much as it can if it can't determine exact species. This gives a great start on many things. Really love and appreciate iNaturalist for their awesome work! ***UPDATE 8/2026*** Unfortunately, I find I get a lot of false identifications now. Especially with bugs. There is no way that I can find to report "hey I don't think that's what it is actually". I took a picture of the same dragonfly 3 times yesterday and received 3 different IDs which I believe are all incorrect. This incorrectly fuels data and also incorrectly teaches people what things are if they aren't paying attention or if they don't know what to look for. I find that irresponsible, and I much prefer when it would fail to identify it or only go as far as it could positively ID, such as giving the family. I respect that. I find this change disappointing from an app that I have highly recommended to many people.

False advertising
Couldnt tell me what animal i took a picture of
Ужасно плохо
Даже морковь распознать не может
I’m actually liking it more…
Great app
But please make it more accurate
But please make it more accurate
Wildly inaccurate
Thought my mutt dog was a horse and a moth within a few seconds… hilarious
Brilliant
Very good app. Helps a lot if u want info about an animal and to know what it is. Works 90% of the time. Best app for this
app is good but a bit buggy
i think theres just some glitches to work out, and also you guys should add something that identifies rocks, i feel like that would be cool
Decent enough
My biggest gripe with this app is its inability to see the big picture. If I’m focused in on a plant, it’ll see the leaves and be like “oh, that’s X!” but then a cm to the left and it catches sight of the flowers and suddenly “oh, that’s Y!” and so on. It has difficulty putting elements together to recognize “oh, actually, it turns out that’s Z.”
And it desperately needs the ability to left the user select the kingdom or lock in on which phylum/family/genus/etc it is. There’s been dozens of times I’ve tried to ID a bug on a plant and the app is like “oh, that’s a dicot.” No. We’re not looking at the plant right now! We’re looking at the giant purple beetle ON the plant! But I can only zoom in so much on the bug without everything turning into a blur.

Best app on the app store
Well done,
No advertising nothing negative and a wonderful app in general.

Bad recognition
Poor recognition of animals. Identified a pigeon as a domestic dog.
Trouble with Dicots
App seems to have trouble identifying some pretty basic Home Depot plants. It gets to Dicot then the suggestions go wild.
Bad. Really not as great as the reviews tout
Update. Still sucks. Cannot id basic weeds? Just calls them dicots.
Specific identification is still difficult for this app. After leaving and coming back, my test plant was still unknown after SIX images.
