Problem is I find no way to read or send comments to others. 🤷🏻‍♂️ ### 4/5 — It’s okay *2026-01-30* First of all, I love that it has no purchases and that’s the only reason I got it ❤️ but it takes forever to load and it’s normally not right but I do recommend this if you’re willing to wait a minute for it ### 4/5 — Good but can’t find stuff like moss agate *2026-01-17, version 1.5* Good but can’t find stuff like moss agate ### 2/5 — Scanner *2025-08-24, version 1.5* I tried to scan my rock which it did flawlessly (it was a piece of tigers eye) and showed nothing of the sort or even any rocks within its family! Although the rest of the app was alright ### 2/5 — Incorrect *2025-08-14* I was excited about this app because it has no in-app purchases, but it hasn’t identified any rocks correctly! I took a picture of quartz on a necklace, and none of the app’s suggestions were quartz! It was like this for every rock I tried. I tried a lot of different techniques of picture taking, and none of them worked. The only reason I rated it 2 stars instead of 1 is because you don’t need to subscribe or pay money to do anything. ### 2/5 — Rock identified *2025-07-20, version 1.5* I like it but I thought it side rock identified not gems and thought you could like take pictures of it ### 2/5 — Inaccurate *2025-07-12, version 1.5* Very inaccurate results. It showed me crystals when my object was a rock and showed me a different crystal when I knew it was amethyst. ### 4/5 — GIVEMEFOODTONUMNUMON! *2025-05-05* I don’t know why but when I took a photo of my face it thought that I was obsidian. ### 3/5 — The app *2025-04-26* Ok can you pls improve the app I took a pic of tiger’s eye and it said carnelian or something but like the easy one like rose quested and stuff it was ok ### 3/5 — Ads and not identifying correctly *2025-04-05, version 1.5* Random ads pop out of nowhere and it identifies gypsum as andesine. Other than that, it’s a decent app ### 2/5 — Meh •_• *2025-03-16* So I downloaded this app and I took a picture of a gold-ish-brown-ish rock. There was a result of chalk and something else that was red and black. I tried doing it with a black rock and it said it was andesite. BUT, there are no volcanoes in Maryland or near where I live. ### 3/5 — 3 stars *2024-12-23, version 1.5* I don’t think you were doing your best work🤨😡😐🤔 ### 1/5 — So stupid!! *2024-12-20, version 1.5* I scanned my thumb and it said that it wasSapphire Yellow!! It’s outrageous! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡🤬 ### 1/5 — Disappointing 😫😫 *2024-11-16, version 1.5* I downloaded this game because I love collecting rocks. I opened the app and took a photo of my crystal i I knew the name of the crystal so I took a photo and it came up the complete opposite of the crystal I took a picture of very sad I was so exited about useing this app😤😢 ### 4/5 — Hi *2024-11-06, version 1.5* I love the app but it doesn’t have gold silver and more👍🏻😁 ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2024-10-29* Not the best identification ability but I like that it gives a price range and that I don’t have to pay for stuff as far as I’ve seen if the identification worked better the app would be a lot nicer but it’s not a horrible app so I’ll give it a few more tries ### 1/5 — Terrible finder *2024-10-16* I tested real stones and it came up with whole different identifications and even tested murano glass that came up as real stone and crystals that came up as real stones PFFF. I’m glad I did the trial first. Zero stars if was available! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t show results *2026-07-31* I was so excited to use this app and then I found out that it wouldn’t show results. Maybe they should fix that bug! it’s so annoying how this doesn’t work if you want this app, don’t download it. There are plenty of other ones that work. This one doesn’t. ### 1/5 — Thinks everything is a rock *2026-05-10, version 1.6* This not a good app, the lay out is bad and when I scanned my Lego box it said it was biotite!!! Don’t let the descriptions fool you ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-01-02, version 1.5* I downloaded the app because I had a really cool red jasper to check but the other ones had 30 pounds per month and this one did not. I scanned my hand and the system said it was opal! Opal? I am not translucent. Not again. Anyone thinking about this app, no ### 1/5 — Completely wrong *2025-11-13, version 1.5* Tested stones I knew to see if it would get it correctly, it did not 🙃 ### 1/5 — Bro *2025-09-04, version 1.5* I don't like that when you search it never less you go back ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-05-11, version 1.5* I show it tiger eye. IT SAYS LAPIS HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE ### 1/5 — Terrible 🤦🏼‍♀️ *2025-05-10, version 1.5* It is a terrible app 1:it doesn’t work 2: the camera shows a different colour from the real colour 3:I scanned a piece of amethyst and it said it was something completely different ,the camera saw the purple crystal as pink ,don’t download this app it doesn’t work and comes up with something completely different when u scan a crystal, don’t trust this app ### 1/5 — Why this app is not very good *2025-04-29, version 1.5* 1. It showed me a literal black rock for a reddish rock. Like whatttt?????? 2. Why did it show a yellow piss rock for a translucent rock? 3. The app is a WASTE OF TIME AND SCAMMM ### 1/5 — Not even close *2025-03-10, version 1.5* Never gets even close to the rocks I scan. Almost like it randomly gives three unrelated rocks ### 1/5 — Straight up useless *2025-02-06, version 1.5* We tried to identify five basic rocks, 0 for 5 right. It called quartz a diamond… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hehehe *2025-03-30* Good because you can just scan the rock and it will show you and ya it’s so good oh Godzilla is a good rap song ### 5/5 — Best rock scanner app ever *2025-03-30, version 1.5* Great ### 5/5 — Good. *2025-01-20* I disagree with happy carnivore. The app is very fun. It gives me clear wording on the rock I have. It also let me know I have a rare rock called grossular. It has also helped me learn about the rock. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Free *2024-10-02, version 1.5* Only app that’s actually free without having to do a trial and pay after 3 days. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-09-21, version 1.5* I wanted to ask about birthstones 🟰but I can’t ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-09-09, version 1.5* 10 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-08-25, version 1.5* I downloaded the app because I had a really cool red stone but the other ones had 30 pounds per month and this one did not It need some updating (I think you should add the rocks possible price) but I think it’s excellent for rock enthusiasts Kind regards Oscar ### 5/5 — DEVELOPER READ THIS NOW PLZ LISTEN TO ME ITS IMPORTANT I KNOW HOW YO MAKE YOUR APP BETTER *2023-09-13* Just add a collection for peoples rocks 🪨 plz add ### 5/5 — Identified *2023-06-25* Finally! This app gives a best of four usually. Two of them are good matched from what I found! It’s guessing between those which is the harder part, but it was way way simpler than going it alone! Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Good *2022-12-17* Good app best app to search mashroom using photos , best experience for use this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
