### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-02-05, version 1.4.1*

Whenever taking photos or uploading, just kept saying something went wrong. Load of rubbish.

### 1/5 — Rubbish!

*2025-02-01, version 1.4.1*

Every time I give it a photo it just says “something went wrong”.  As far as I’m concerned it just doesn’t work. Absolute rubbish!

### 1/5 — Yellow Garden spider

*2024-10-02*

I took a picture of a yellow garden spider to double check what it was ( I thought it was a yellow orb spider). Your app told me it was a bird! How do I cancel the app?

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

*2024-08-26*

Let’s you download for “free” with “in app purchases” but you can’t get past the first screen without card details.

### 1/5 — Do not download!

*2024-08-01*

Even tho it clearly says ‘Free trial no payment now’,this app charged me $30 immediately. I had to request a refund from Apple Pay. NOT amused.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2024-04-02*

Like it does all my insects

### 5/5 — Bravo!

*2024-03-21*

Enfin une application pour identifier les insectes que l’on observe au quotidien.

### 1/5 — Bait and Switch

*2024-03-21*

Advertised today - 3:21/2024 - as free lifetime. 

There is no option for free trial nor free lifetime

### 1/5 — Supposed to be a lifetime free offer

*2024-03-21*

But it doesn’t appear. Not paying $99 for this. No way.

### 5/5 — Been looking for this type of handy application

*2024-03-20*

Definitely going to use this beautiful and handy application more often in the coming days. 

Please work regularly to make this app much better and effective. And thanks for the application. 

Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application. iPhone 14 Pro Max (latest iOS)

With Kindest Regards-BR
