I’m actually liking it more…
Great app
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.

Doesn’t seem to be what it used
Most of the time lately, I can’t identify what it is I’m asking them or give some random name and you go look it up on the Internet and it is not at all what you’re looking at not sure what happened to the app but it sure isn’t very good anymore.
Okay
Not the best
Was great
This app used to be excellent but now doesn’t seem to identify much at all.
Need to fix some things
When the app takes a picture, and I don't know if it's correct, I need to be able to view the species before the image is saved and ID'd as that plant. Of that's not possible, then I need to be able to say, "Not that plant" and be able to delete that image and revert to any previous image.
This app isn’t very helpful
I guess if you want to identify larger animals this app is fine, but whenever I see an insect like a bee and try to identify it, it tells me they can’t identify the exact species. When I tried to identify a dog it said it was a whale. And the camera quality is Always blurry and I can’t focus on one thing. Don’t recommend this app.

Best mobile ID app available
Brilliant app. It can correctly recognise things 9 out of 10 times, and is very intuitive to use. There are a few very minor flaws, but they will rarely impact ordinary use of the app.
Occasionally, the camera will get 'stuck' when attempting to log a new observation. That is to say it can correctly identify, say, an insect, but thereafter be stuck loading and necessitate reopening the app, meaning the new observation is not saved. This doesn't happen often enough to be particularly annoying, and will usually work the second time around.
The camera also allows the flash to be used when taking pictures, the idea being to enable making observations in low light. This often fails to work however as seek usually needs a moment to figure out specifically what it is looking at, and the window of time offered by the flash (at least on an iphone) is not long enough to accomodate that, meaning clear pictures *can* be taken in the dark, but seek will be unable to recognise them most of the time.

Want to use with iNat but can’t log in
I use my Apple login for iNaturalist, but Seek asks for an email and password. It won’t let me use Apple to login, so I can’t sync it with my iNat account. Frustrating.
Why?!?!?
So I got this app because I wanted to learn more about insects and animals. I learned some new stuff. But my aunts dog is like a mix of 4 different of dogs, and I wanted to learn a little bit an about what she is. So a take a picture and it tells me she is a white polar bear???!!!??? (My aunts dog is dark brown and black). Ok so I get that you can’t tell me all the breeds she is but at least tell me she isn’t a polar bear. So I give this app 3 stars since I learned a little bit.

Update horrible
I’ve had this app for about 18months. At first it was great and then I guess they did an update. Now the app barely works and will not identify anything like it used to.
Please update this app!
This app is good. It’s good when I find an animal or plant and want to know what it is. I also like to look at plants and animals on this app. When I want to read about certain animals and plants, I can’t find them on the app! Please add a search bar so it’s easier for people to read about certain plants and animals!

Frustrating to the MAX
Have a bird feeder in my tiny apartment front yard that attracts lots of birds. Wanted to know what they were so looked for app to identify them. This one had good rating so I got it. The problem is it almost always tells me to take pic from different angle, or move camera around. Usually says we thinks it’s a bird. Well duh!!! I want to know what kind. In a week I have only identified 5 birds. And today it told me one of the birds was a non-venomous snake. And my dog’s leash is also a snake. The other day, a bird was a wolf. The same with plants. It takes forever to get a plant identification. This has turned out to be a total waste of my time.
