### 4/5 — Very accurate

*2024-10-26*

I don’t have words but I love this song so far and it has a lot to offer for a new song and it is a good song for the euros r RT for me to play in my birthday party in my room with my family so I can’t say that much more so I’m gonna go with the new one and see how that works for me I just need some ideas and I think I’ll be okay and then I’ll be able I love this album but it’s a bit too long for a lot to listen to and I’m not really into the music and I’m not gonna listen so much but I’m not sure I just want the song but I think it’s a good thing that I like

### 4/5 — Seems to work

*2024-09-27*

The photo /use of gallery function is a bit backwards and not as easy as other apps. It has been pretty helpful and accurate with good photos applied.

### 4/5 — Finds the name

*2024-04-16*

Recently moved from the SoCal to Georgia. Unfamiliar with the bugs and spiders here. This is an easy to use resource and I almost always get info. I am curious person. This resource is very helpful.

### 4/5 — Good name id, but no description

*2023-11-14*

It only provides id by scientific name and links to Wikipedia which also provides no description. I was hoping for descriptions of how and where it lives and whether or not it’s venomous.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2023-07-03*

Doesn't work half the time, and when it does identify the bug, there's no links or information about it just the name of it. Not a very practical app especially when I have to type in a long species name into a Google search instead of being able to just tap on it and have it take me directly to a information page. The Wikipedia link doesn't work either.

### 5/5 — Florida spiders

*2023-07-01*

First spider correctly identified with a lot of useful and interesting information

### 3/5 — Description

*2023-06-28*

I guess I shouldn't complain, the app says it is a spider identifier, but I wish it would offer a little bit about the spider, I.e., is it poisonous, aggressive, etc.

### 5/5 — Works just like it said it would..

*2023-05-10, version 1.0.3*

Works just like it said it would..

### 4/5 — Good

*2023-03-28*

It identifies simple insects well. It just doesn’t give much information about them

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-12-19, version 1.0.2*

Good

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-10-02, version 1.0.2*

Great app

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2024-11-06*

Improperly identified one spider and it locked everything behind a pay wall. Just another greedy useless app

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2024-09-17*

When a spider name is populated, click through to more descriptions and 10 of my 10 try's, the results were never more that 18% accurate according to the app. 

Most of the time their results said only 10% accurate. That means there's only a 10% chance they got it right and 90% chance the app identified the wrong type of spider. I wish I could get a refund even for the $3 spent to try it out

### 1/5 — This app is a scam

*2023-07-12*

When you tried to take a picture of the bug it would take the picture but it wouldn’t even identify it, and you have to have a member ship to use the app so it cost money and it never said anything about a membership, so i can’t even use the app but picture insect is an amazing app and it identifies the bug for you, and actually works so go get picture insect for free!

### 1/5 — It’s the annoying music for me

*2023-06-28, version 1.0.5*

No way to disable the crap music? 
Deleted!

### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work

*2023-01-25*

I entered a picture for analysis.  It went directly to an ad to buy the premium version while playing annoying music

### 1/5 — Not good

*2022-10-09, version 1.0.2*

I can’t contact anyone to complain

### 1/5 — Not free

*2022-10-04*

After using it a couple of times you have to either pay weekly or for a year. Also it doesn’t identify bugs correctly half the time. Useless.

### 1/5 — used once then hit paywall

*2022-09-30, version 1.0.2*

i get that you’re a “for-profit” business, but just make me watch ads or something. it’s literally unusable if i don't pay and frankly, i’m a 10-year old arachnophobe, so as much as i want this to work, i can’t pay.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2025-10-29*

We wanted to identify a huge totally black spider in the garage….It  was Big but, based on my ‘spider knowledge’ it looked harmless… 

I took two pictures and within seconds this app identified it- it was a male Black Widow spider. I thought Blqck Widows had a red hour glass shape on their back…?!  Apparently only the females have the red hourglass on their back! 

Thank you Sider Identifier! You likely saved us a trip to the Emergency Room! 😄🔍
