I used other apps which told me what it was so I would recommend using another app. For all the rock collectors please turn away from this app IMMEDIATELY!! ### 2/5 — It is the worst *2024-12-23* It is so crazy how much money it’s and it does not even tell you what it is exactly 😡😡🫤🫤🫤🫤 ### 2/5 — Not the best *2024-08-30* Amazing potential for the app but I don’t like how you have to pay. Reasonable price, but just not paying it. ### 1/5 — The people that run this app are absolute scum *2023-02-06* They’re taking your money for an app that doesn’t work. I want my subscription money back and I’ll be contacting the BBB ### 1/5 — Bsssssssssssssryykndek *2022-12-06* Can’t use this app unless you upgrade. Was able to take one photo ### 2/5 — Inaccurate *2022-11-26, version 2.3.3* Tested this on 5 gemstones that I already knew (reputable jewelers). It got 2 right and totally missed on the other 3, regardless of how I photo graphed them. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2022-06-27* You get 1 free scan, which is little better than a guess then it asks for payment! ### 5/5 — Good *2022-05-10, version 2.3* I wish you become success. U deverve it for what u’ve done ### 5/5 — Legit *2022-05-10, version 2.3* This app has correctly named each stone. That I have scanned in. I can’t wait to use it on stones I don’t know much about. ### 5/5 — Legit *2022-05-06, version 2.3* This app has correctly named each stone. That I have scanned in. I can’t wait to use it on stones I don’t know much about. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam app *2025-07-20* Does not work and won't even let you scan a sample rock for free. They expect $50 for an app that doesn't let you try it. Don't bother wasting your time ### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work *2025-06-16* Scam ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-05-30* If you want a free one then this doesn’t work, I thought it was a 5 min timer and got a bunch of stones to check, then realised it costed money ### 1/5 — Just NO. *2025-03-21* This was stressful ,time consuming and pointless . After i finally got it to scan my rock the results were not even close. ### 1/5 — It’s not free *2025-02-24* Says u r free. But u not ### 1/5 — Pas fiable *2025-01-23* Nul quasi systématiquement ### 1/5 — Bummer app *2024-07-17* Let me take 1 picture. Identified the rock wrong. Locked up on a buy subscription page after that. Have tried to delete app and can’t get it off my phone. Total waste of my time!!!!!!??!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-01-28* You need to spend £40 to actually us it ### 1/5 — Rock identifier *2023-07-27* Waste of money most of the time it's saying totally different thing to what it really is ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-05-09* It is bad, do not waste your time or money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app ‌.   ‎ ‭ *2022-11-16, version 2.3.3* I love this Application.‎ ‭  As a new Rock Hound, this app has been a God send .⁣⁣⁣⁣　  ‌     ‌ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ### 5/5 — Love it.    ‌ *2022-11-16, version 2.3.3* Love it works great and helps identify rocks ### 5/5 — Great app. *2022-11-16* Very good gem identifier.  I like it a lot. ### 5/5 — Good　⁣⁣⁣⁣ *2022-11-16* ‌You did good　      ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ### 5/5 — Rock identity! *2022-08-11, version 2.3* I am having so much fun with this app—both for my crystals, and for the stones I collect from travels.‎ ‭ ‌ ### 5/5 — This is Awesome!😄👍 *2022-08-11, version 2.3* ‎ ‭GREAT !⁣⁣⁣⁣ ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2022-08-11, version 2.3* I am really happy with the accuracy of this app ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-08-11* Very cool and fun app ⁣⁣⁣⁣　 ‎ ‭⁣⁣⁣⁣ ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2022-08-11, version 2.3* Really cool!  ‌ ### 5/5 — Super nice *2022-05-10, version 2.3* When I go camping, this app is neccessary --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
