Great
Out of 5 free apps, this was the only one to actually help me identify. We took a picture then it walked me through the properties instead of asking like I knew anything on the others. Five stars ☺️
Best app ever
This app proves how dig of a bick Rahul has. All hail Rahul.
The app freezes
I just downloaded the app which looks great, but I clicked on one of the common mushrooms in my area and the app is totally frozen. I can’t get off that page at all. Closing and reopening the alp, swiping every which way. Nothing works.
Student project
Some screens don’t have any way out so you have to force quit the app and start again.
The field guide is only browsable alphabetically, scrolling the list, one item filling the whole screen so it’s pretty much unusable. Too bad, it could be a really nice app!

Good, could be better
Good app overall. Would like to be able to identify mushrooms using pictures I have already taken. Really the only feature that’s missing for me
Buggy
I really wanted to like this app but it won’t even let me scroll down to continue reading. I have a relatively new phone and the latest OS (which has been out for a while) as of this post. I hope they fix it.
Love the concept!
This app is a great concept and easy to navigate and use. I love the design of it. Currently I’ve noticed some bugs (for example, clicking on a mushroom to read more about it often doesn’t have a button to exit out or return to the previous screen), which make the app a little frustrating to use.
I’d love to see more information presented about the mushrooms, or at least links to further reading.
Great app so far, minus the minor bugs, keep it up developers!

Can’t upload a photo you’ve already taken
This app is useless because you can’t upload a photo that’s already in your photo gallery. You have to take the photo with the app, but most of the time when you’re out in the woods there is no connection. All other apps I use allow for a photo you’ve already taken, so I’ll stick with those.
Good start!
Nice design, however room for improvement. Identify with camera - would be better if you also had the option to load a picture from your camera roll. Would be good if you could identify a mushroom with no picture too - click defining features then a list of possible mushrooms.
Keeps Freezing
Nice app but I have been unable to use all the listed features.
It keeps freezing when I try and use the what’s near me feature

Good with common mushrooms disappointing with exotic mushrooms
Picked up this app because of its good rating on mushroom identification. There are several mushrooms that I have identified which are not in the data base. Or that the app can not recognized. If your looking for an app to identify common looking mushrooms this one rocks but when you get to the more interesting ones it doesn’t even recognize them as a mushroom. Still a good way to learn because it helps you to find a starting point on your identification searches.

Great start, keep going!
Snout is a really cool idea. There is a lot of great content and it can already identify many mushrooms, but there are still a few minor bugs, as well as some genera that are not yet covered. To the developers: great work, and keep it coming! It would also be cool to see it have a social component as the mushroom foraging community is a great one.

Useful app
This is a cool app to get more familiar with mushrooms. It has a mushroom ID feature that allows you to take a picture of a mushroom you see to help identify it. I’ve had a fun time looking at the different mushrooms and their descriptions, and can’t wait to find more mushrooms in the wild.
Great approach to mushroom ID
I really like the approach that this app takes to mushroom identification. It doesn’t claim that it identifies mushrooms correctly every time, and it includes you in the identification process. Mushroom identification is hard, and no AI is good enough to do it without the insight a person brings to the process. The app is simple and well designed. I wish I could save my notes and location so I can come back and find the same mushrooms again. I hope they keep developing the app.

Super Helpful!
This app has a nice design and is easy to navigate. It’s super informative and promotes learning about mushrooms.
I’m glad they set the right expectation that the app is not to be explicitly followed for eating mushrooms found in the wild. That’s important. With that said, the app is very helpful in identifying mushrooms. Great app.
