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.
