### 1/5 — SCAM

*2024-10-13*

I took a picture of I know that is 100% white gold but it came up has lapis Lazuli every time and I scanned a rock that I knew Muscovite and it came up as quartz like fix ur app that I had to pay for as a SCAM don’t buy!

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2024-10-10*

This app is trash. I tried it out and on all 10 of the stones I wanted to I’d it failed.  It labeled jasper as cats eye. It couldn’t even distinguish a sapphire definition onyx.. Google image search is way way better. Boomboxfader95@gmail

### 1/5 — No Tryout unless opt in to forced trial

*2024-08-03*

You shouldn’t have to go into a very limited trial with great potential of forgetting to cancel before getting charged a monthly fee just to try out the obvious feature most will download it for being to photo and iD a stone already in your possession.  (caveat of course being you find it’s NOT of use to you and just sits with other graveyard apps we all a few of im sure) 

Giving a couple chances to use this feature or maybe a menu allowing to open 2-3 to try for short period of time before lockout of all app function would give ppl a true fair and honest chance to try it, not get stuck with another useless app and zombie subscription you may end up paying months for before you realize to cancel it.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-02-11*

Can’t identify even simple stones, not worth the download

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-01-16*

Didn’t identify even the simple ones.

### 1/5 — This is a hacker

*2023-12-28*

I tried every app but they cost money like this one

### 1/5 — No good

*2023-08-12*

This app sucks. Doesn’t work at all . Don’t waste your money like I did.

### 1/5 — Didn’t get it right once

*2023-07-13*

I took pictures of stones I already knew so I could see if it was accurate. Not a single one was guessed right!

### 1/5 — Really bad.

*2023-06-10*

You may want to really fix your app to actually identify these different stones. Before you have the audacity to charge as much as you do. The app could not correctly identify a very common quartz stone. It came back with everything but quartz! Nothing that looked remotely like a clear quartz stone

### 1/5 — Can I throw stones?

*2023-05-27*

Seriously it has told me every stone is 34% Gipson lapis. And that’s always the top hit. Please delete your app, cuz it’s not free and it’s crap.
