Not ready for Prime Time

I had hopes for this app but I cancelled during the three-day free trial (thank you!).
I live in the Pacific Northwest and have many mill edge reject pieces. I am certain they are from the PNW region and almost know where they were cut before liking since the wood was given to me by the friend who cut them.

I have had the wood for almost 30-years. I was excited when the app identified boards, but when I scanned a couple of boards three times, I was given three different PNW wood names. Once that happened, I cancelled because the app can’t do better than I do when I guess.

Junk

Tested on 10 known woods. Got 3 right

Response from developer

Hi, please could you send us more information to ddominguez@captology.es

Very inaccurate

I recently purchased this app. Pain to use. Must first take a picture then download to the app. I tried on 7 pieces of wood with only 1 hit. A piece of oak came up Winga. lol canceled my subscription

Response from developer

Hi, please could you provide us with more information at ddominguez@nulladevs.com? We would like to know what region you have indicated in the app — perhaps you have set your location to Africa, or the wood origin is from Africa. We filter our databases based on where you indicated you are, or where the wood comes from, in order to provide more accurate results. Regards

I purchased the annual subscription then lost my phone now it wants me to pay again. 😡

I purchased the annual subscription in January 2026, I lost my phone in March 2026 and redownloaded the app however there is no place to sign in to recover my subscription!
No contact information and no way to access my already purchased app.
I loved the app when I was able to use it however I’m not going to pay double for something I’ve already purchased!

Hi Christopher, Email answered a few weeks ago. For the people who are reading this review: when you change your phone and the paywall appears, click on the text at the bottom that says "Restore Purchase," and you will not lose your subscription. Best regards, Daniel

great improvement

I had serious issues with the earlier release, mainly the incessant push for reviews and inaccurate identifications. The review requests have been removed, and the app now asks for input from the user to help improve accuracy, and my impression is it has improved accuracy. I have not tested it as thoroughly as I did the earlier version, but what I see looks very good, and I am greatly encouraged that the developer addressed my concerns in the new release. I am reserving the 5-star status until I have a chance to use it more, but if it continues as well as my current limited testing of this version, then I will update it to a 5-star review. Thank you, wuddy.

Scam. Doesn’t work.

Response from developer

Hi Tim, please can you contact us on ddominguez@nulladevs.com to see what gone wrong. Best regards Daniel.

Irritating and inaccurate.

Between wood samples you are requested to provide a review. EVERY TIME. Way way irritating! I felt the ids didnt seem accurate so did a test. Same piece of wood four times - id’d as poplar, maple, western red cedar, and oak. Seems pretty useless and a waste of money. Don’t know how it got so many 5 star reviews - probably just users trying to get past the irritating demand for reviews.

Hello, we've improved the accuracy rate thanks to a new screen where you can specify wood characteristics that the camera can't capture. We've also removed the pop-up prompt that requested feedback after each identification. Thank you very much for your feedback.

Not Completely Accurate

For a paid app, this wasn’t very accurate identifying different wood species. I found it guessing more than actually giving an accurate answer. Not worth the weekly or yearly subscription price!

don’t ask for feedback every time i scan an item

ridiculously annoying pop up asking for feedback constantly

Well

Not good, downloaded and as a test I checked a know piece of wood. So I clicked a 5 star rating. I return to the app a few minutes later and now I need to pay to use the app. Not what I expected. Will be deleting app as it’s not good for me.

Response from developer

Hello, we've changed our monetization model. You can now scan up to 3 samples per day (they refresh every 24 hours), completely free. Regards.

One scan only

You only get one scan free before it forces you to subscribe

Doesn’t work

Every time I take a poc, it says success, then it says error, try again. Just won’t work.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you so much for your feedback. When you submitted the review, our service provider was experiencing some issues. We switched providers about a week later, and you shouldn't have any problems now. Best regards, and thank you again for your feedback.

Sinnlos und Überflüssig

Warum solch eine Schrott App überhaupt noch online ist...?! Funktioniert von hinten bis vorne....NICHT!

Wood Identification is hard

Though not perfect, this app can point you in the right direction for further identification with pictures of possible wood types. It is good for verifying what you already know or think you know. My mixed results could have been due to shadows or a shaky hand. I expect this app will get better with more development time.
