### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-05-03, version 1.1.5*

Forces me to pay

### 2/5 — Poor

*2025-04-07*

Not able to assess names of stones I already knew identity. Simple such as granite and marble. This app needs a free week or day so subscribers can see what they are getting before they pay. Essentially a waste of money

### 1/5 — Only worked on the first rock

*2024-10-11*

Didn’t work after first rock! Total waste of money

### 1/5 — Scanner more like scammer ☹️ 😡

*2024-03-29, version 1.1.5*

This game only lets you scan one object.Then you need to buy premium but it still doesn’t recognise your stone.I did a fossil and it said it was obsidian.I am so confused how they get it wrong 🤷‍♂️😐

### 3/5 — Responding and friending features

*2024-01-03, version 1.1.5*

I wish that when people posted asking for somebody to identify a stone I could respond to their post. I also wish I could friend or follow people on the app

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-12-26, version 1.1.5*

Description for every gem is rubies? It’s a broken app?

### 2/5 — Not that great

*2023-11-12*

Every rock I checked even though very different from each other the same 5 rocks came up.
Ridiculous actually.

### 1/5 — Six failed attempts in a row.

*2023-10-27*

Downloaded the app, scanned six fairly simple minerals in a row and it got every single one wrong..

### 1/5 — Ba

*2023-08-29, version 1.1.5*

Very bad once you do it one time and you want to do it again it says that I have to pay

### 5/5 — Worst app ever do not recommend

*2023-08-28*

Had to give it 5 stars so it would post this it is horrible it let’s u scan once so just to see if it would work or it was fake I took a picture of my room and it said “pink opel,rose corts and an ad”so I’m like oook and I put a pice of pirate “fools gold” and it just showed me the premium thing and so I tried again and it didn’t work thank u for reading ❤️
