User reviews

Not good for west coast

I thought I’d give the app a shot since it’s the most talked about for shell identification on the internet but it’s not of much use for the Southern California coast. It couldn’t identify a close up of a living sand dollar… oh well. At least the shell listings might point me in the right direction if the shell here is in the same family….

Doesn’t work

Won’t open when I click on shell information

Needs more data

Could not identify a Common Nutmeg which has some pretty distinct features….

Use google lens instead

This app should not be used. I showed it a huge variety of shells (conical, bivalve, snail) and it produced the same list of possibilities almost every time. Google lens is actual AI and will always get it right. (Go to regular google and hit the square icon on the right side of the search box.)

Can’t ID anything.

Tried about 5 shells app couldn’t ID any.

Suggestion pictures weren’t even close
