Overall a wonderful app! ### 4/5 — Very handy app *2018-02-16, version 1.1* An informative app, great functionality, lacks iPhone X full screen support through. 5 star once that happens. 👍🏼 ### 3/5 — It's ok... *2014-01-09, version 1.0.4* This app is good and all, but doesn't have enough info ect NOT worth the money ### 3/5 — Mr *2013-08-21, version 1.0.3* Why is the size of some snakes so underrated? For example, scrub pythons, and olive pythons grow considerably longer than 350cm and 200cm, as detailed in the app. ### 5/5 — Reptile lovers dream *2013-06-19, version 1.0.2* Just what we have been looking for. The perfect app for any Herpetologist in Australia and a must have for all herpetologists visiting Australia, well done guys.......hopefully there will be a lizard one soon too! ### 5/5 — A great app! *2013-06-19, version 1.0.2* The perfect app for information and the identification of Australian Snakes! A great tool to use in the field. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Incorrect first aid *2026-05-06, version 1.1* The first aid doesn’t even show compression of the tips of fingers therefore hugely ineffective and potentially dangerous ### 1/5 — Crashes instantly *2024-11-05, version 1.1* This app doesn’t open. Charges you 4.99 but it doesn’t work. If it isn’t supported, remove it from sale. ### 1/5 — App no longer opening *2024-04-02, version 1.1* Used to work great but now it won’t open ### 1/5 — Not opening *2023-10-27, version 1.1* I noticed others have the same issue as me. The app downloads but doesn’t open on my I phone. Any clues? ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly *2023-09-17, version 1.1* Doesn’t want to open at all on the iPhone. ### 1/5 — Crashes every time I try to open it. *2023-01-26, version 1.1* Don’t know what the apps like, can’t open it ### 1/5 — App does not work *2023-01-24, version 1.1* Paid for this app - open it and it closes straightaway- have an iPhone 11 ### 2/5 — Not working on a iPhone recently. Fantastic App when it works. *2025-07-22, version 1.1* I used this app constantly before it stopped working on the iPhone, fantastic quick reference guide for local species and geographic range of different snakes. I seriously hope the developers fix up the glitch. ### 2/5 — too complicated *2020-01-15, version 1.1* I found it difficult to identify a snake in my garden. I had to resort to google ### 3/5 — Will run on iPad but not my iPhone *2023-04-14, version 1.1* I don’t seem to be able to get the app to run on my iPhone 14pro max but it runs fine on my iPad ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My favourite app *2025-11-07, version 1.1* I use this app so much more frequently than I thought I would when I downloaded this app. The offline map pin-drop feature is incredible for when I’m out camping or travelling across the country looking for potential species to look out for. So cool to see what’s around, and see the distributions of species change as you travel along. And the field guide notes are great and accurate. Worth every cent. Would absolutely froth a Lizards of Australia app!! ### 5/5 — Compact, excellent text and photos *2024-06-01, version 1.1* This is an invaluable guide to Australian snakes. Unlike so many field guide apps it is far more interactive than a pdf style copy of a book. Some snakes show so much individual and geographic variation, particularly Pseudechis, that there can never enough photos in a field guide. This app is full of superb photos with multiple shots per species, each attributed with the location and photographer. The distribution maps showing validated records and presumed range are excellent (despite minor quibbles with some records and ranges). There is a brief text statement of distribution beneath each map. A larger green dot shows your location, so you can see whether you are in the range. The text is brisk and to the point, often with a useful comment on taxonomy and ecology. Finally the comparative feature showing two species at once is very handy. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2019-04-02, version 1.1* This is a fabulous app! You can see that so much work has gone into it and it is jam-packed with all the information you need. It is such a pity that so many people feel only fear and repulsion over these beautiful and fascinating creatures. Well done! ### 5/5 — GREAT APP BUY IT NOW *2017-10-21, version 1.1* This app is great for anyone interested in Aussie snakes! User friendly. Very handy for travelling around Australia. ### 5/5 — Harry lim *2017-07-03, version 1.0.4* Perfect app. Very educational ### 5/5 — Great app, probably worth $40 rather than 10. *2014-08-10, version 1.0.4* Not sure what everyone's problem is? This is a great app! This is a succinct field guide that makes use of the i-device platform to provide numerous images of each species to show variation within a species. The high resolution photos are from some of Australia's best herp photographers. The scale count feature is very handy when you've found a mashed roadkill or a slough. Beyond that, the "filter by location" function cross-checks your location (via iPhone GPS) and shows you only snakes that are likely to occur within your area. A great app and cartainly among Australia's best field guide apps. ### 5/5 — Good app *2014-06-21, version 1.0.4* Doesn't have all the critical info for some pro herpers but will keep all the amateur herpers out there happy. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2013-08-16, version 1.0.3* I really like it :) ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-07-15, version 1.0.3* I have tested many of the worlds field guide apps and this one is one of the most functional and cleverly designed I have come across. Definitely worth spending the money. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2013-06-28, version 1.0.3* Awesome app, close to a mobile Coggers --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
