### 2/5 — Nice long email

*2026-05-24, version 1.63*

Huge email about my review , good luck okay and don’t be like that next time in responding to someone who did not say anything wrong or derogatory about your team. 👌👍🏻

### 1/5 — Don’t use this app waste of time

*2025-06-01*

Xxxx

**Developer response:** Hi! What was the problem with the app?

### 1/5 — taking money from me

*2025-05-28, version 1.56*

this app took $41 dollars from me and I don’t even have the app anymore, (i deleted the same day i got it)and if you a subscription with them and try to delete the app , the subscription will not be up until the next year .

### 4/5 — App

*2025-05-17, version 1.56*

I the app was 100% accurate

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-04-24, version 1.55*

It says 35 a year it charged me $57 and didn’t identify my nuggets correct at all

### 4/5 — Looks great!!

*2025-04-06, version 1.55*

Tried it on several different strains definitely distinguishes the difference between plants!

### 3/5 — great identifier, however not worth the money

*2025-03-16, version 1.55*

took a photo of my buds and uploaded it, came back and told me it was jack herer so i searched it up and the buds look identical to what i have so i’m gonna say its quite accurate.

However…paying over $50 per year is ridiculous (even with the half price deal being just over $25) just to tell you what strain you have, i think you guys should create a monthly plan rather than yearly to save people money and you still earn money, like $4.99 per month sounds reasonable, some people don’t have a lump sum to pay a year’s worth on the spot.

Otherwise great app!!

### 2/5 — Only 20 strains…..

*2025-03-15, version 1.55*

Why are you guys charging money to use this app when it only recognizes 20 strains. Does not make sense. The whole purpose of a scan is to discover the strain. Good info on strains but… again it’s naturally inaccurate due to the limit.

If expanded, would be a good app.

### 1/5 — Nice try.

*2024-12-08, version 1.53*

Bs app, i limited access to my photos and yet it somehow gained full access. Keeps asking for money after each tap on the screen. Doesn't show results until you pay a minimum of 5$ (thats where they get payment details, after annoying you with 70$ and 30$ payment pop ups) making the 5$ look like a solution to all your problems. Nice try guys.

### 1/5 — Would rate 0 if I could it’s blocked behind a pay wall

*2024-11-19, version 1.53*

You have to pay L app

### 2/5 — What you need to know!

*2024-09-28, version 1.51*

Identification often wrong or contradicting depending on light/setting. READ THE PRIVACY POLICY!  That's all I'm going to say on that.

### 1/5 — Do t believe it…

*2024-08-21*

Well I took 4 photos of the same bud, got 4 different names..

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review. To improve recognition accuracy, we will make users be able to submit several photos of the same stain taken from different angles all at once for analysis.

### 1/5 — Help and I’ll give a 5 star

*2024-07-29, version 1.49*

Nowhere helps on how to cancel subscription.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2024-07-21, version 1.49*

I canceled my subscription in time and it is still trying to charge me for a year and nothing is able to be fixed this is absolutely obnoxious

### 4/5 — App review

*2024-06-13, version 1.46*

Don’t detect all strans

### 2/5 — Kurzfassung Müll

*2024-05-25*

Also weiß nicht was des für eine App ist und für was der eigentlich Sinn dahinter ist. Das ich mir paar Radom weed Bilder anschauen kann ? Sry da brauch ich keine sinnlose App !

**Developer response:** The main goal of our application is to recognize the variety and properties of marijuana by photo.

### 1/5 — Nope.

*2024-05-22, version 1.45*

Tried four nugs from the same jar (that was sealed when purchased). I got four different names. The app rated all four at 80% accuracy. It is a hybrid strain. None of the names matched the name on the jar.

### 2/5 — Not a trail free app

*2024-04-08, version 1.44*

Too many photos had to be uploaded and taken for it to detect the strain. When it did it required payment or a 7 day trail

### 1/5 — 0 stars

*2026-07-13, version 1.65*

I was promised a three day free trial and the app proceeded to charge me $12.99 and it didn’t even scan the right type of weed. It told me a completely different strain. if I could vote this app zero stars I would because this app is a disgrace. It’s a lying app. It’s a scamming app, KushScan more like Kush scam.

### 1/5 — Team is very unprofessional

*2026-06-17*

Stop emailing me about your product, countless people from your team are being annoying and harassing me over a simple statement. Quit with the nonsense.

**Developer response:** Hi! Are you getting paid for your job? Our team has done very big amount of work to create Kush Scan app, including the collection of datasets consisting of hundreds of thousands of images, hundreds of model‑training experiments, the work on creating a good app design, not to mention developing the application itself, that includes front-end and server-side development. And we continue to improve our app and adding new features. Right now, we are also working on expanding the number of recognizable strains.

Please appreciate the work we put into this. You also don’t work for free — that’s how modern capitalist society functions.

### 1/5 — Wasted £34:99

*2026-05-07*

Scam has to be I scanned two different strains and getting the same answer every time even gave it a second chance. 70% accuracy 😂 Nah.

### 1/5 — Pay wall

*2026-04-20, version 1.63*

Theres pay wall after pay wall then after my scan guess what another pay wall you guys suck😂

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-02-19, version 1.62*

Not at all functional

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-01-05, version 1.62*

Scrammed me for my money

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2025-10-26, version 1.60*

Have to pay first. 
And they can only identify 20 strains with 70% wintate. 
After the creators made this app idk what made them think it’s good enough to be released to the public😂😂amateurs

### 1/5 — HIGHLY inaccurate

*2025-10-14, version 1.60*

Downloaded this app for what I thought was a free 7 day trial. Turns out, I subscribed for a year for $34.99 
I immediately tried to cancel but Apple wouldn’t honor my refund request. So, decided to roll with it and make use of it, as I had some bud that got mixed up in my freezer and wanted to identify which strain was which.  It couldn’t identify either. Then I took out a a jar of buds that came from the dispensary, so  I knew exactly what strain it was and took the same exact pic of that particular bud and entered it multiple times. This app’s algorithm literally gave me a completely different strain identity each time. I live in VA where it’s legal, so I took it to a friend who has weed that he gets from the dispensary too. We tried it on several strains that he had and NOT ONE was accurately identified! Do not waste your time or your money!  This app is a rip-off.

### 1/5 — Nope.

*2025-09-07, version 1.58*

Baits you to take a picture then makes you subscribe to analyze it. This app ain’t it.

### 1/5 — Very deceiving

*2025-07-17, version 1.58*

The app needs a subscription so you can see the strain
A weekly subscription on top of that😒
