Much more accurate. Where have all my previous requests and identifications gone? ### 1/5 — About three camera snaps *2023-06-06* I took about three camera snaps and it brought up subscription. 😦 I tried to take another but still the same thing. So if you want to pay than this is fine, but if you were hoping to take unlimited pictures and just avoid the subscription side, don’t bother. Unless you don’t mind getting three pictures and that’s it. 😕 I was thinking I’d be able to use this app more. Thank you though for this app to identify bugs and other things. 🙂 ### 1/5 — Seems beyond useless *2022-06-19* Unless I am way behind the learning curve, it appears I can bring up or make a picture of, for example, an insect I would like to identify. First I have to tell the app it’s an insect I want to identify. Then, after much special effects, it pronounces that I have found an insect with 65% reliability. That’s it. Seriously? ### 1/5 — Not impressed at all *2022-05-06, version 2.4* I tried to identify several plants the. Most accuracy was 74% ### 1/5 — Prof KP *2022-03-12* Very Bad Dark Photos. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t get specific *2021-11-11, version 2.4* Can’t get it to Id the exact name of the insect . What’s the point ? I know it is a bug. ### 1/5 — Legit garbage *2021-08-23, version 2.4* Took a picture of a houseplant to test it. Results are “leaf - 66% accuracy” ### 1/5 — Horrible App: can’t detect even basic flowers or vegetables *2021-07-19, version 2.4* Waste of money & time! Tried it out on spinach leaves, poppy flowers & herbs like basil and thyme- NOTHING!! Couldn’t even identify one of them- USELESS ! ### 1/5 — Cannot ID Anything *2021-06-23* Testing this app to see what it can do. What a joke!!! Tried it on a simple Petunia. Could not ID!!! Tried on Red Rose. Could not ID!! Why can it be simple ?!? I do not recommend this app. If you want the wrong answer, then this app is for you. ## Frequently asked questions about Smart Identifier ### What does Smart Identifier do?
