Worthless

I loaded a very detailed photo and the app made no attempt to identify. It just showed a few pictures of ticks looking nothing like my photo and said if it is not one of these, it’s not likely to cause disease. Also it locks up and the only thing you can do is force close the app then clear it from the background. I wish I had read the reviews first.

It freezes.

First attempt: I chose a photo of a tick already identified by a lab. It asked me to select photos of ticks from the main types that best matched. I don’t need an app for that! I tried to explore what else the app would offer but it froze and I had to restart my iPhone. Reopened the app and this time it froze at the first screen. Definitely $2 wasted…

Doesn’t work.

Was able to open the app and submit photo. It gives multiple suggestions none of which look like my tick.When trying to select app does not respond. After uploading photo none of the buttons on the app respond. Freezes up entirely. Worthless. Do not download. Really regretting that they got my two bucks.

Not useful at all

Why did I send pictures? You are not telling me anything.

Laggy and slow. Doesn’t do what it’s uploaded to do.
