Found a suspicious spot on your wall, ceiling, or bathroom tile? Mold Identifier uses AI to scan a photo and tell you what it actually is — plus whether it's dangerous and what to do about it. Most mold apps stop at a one-line guess. Mold Identifier goes further with a full household mold compendium: common species, risk tiers, look-alikes, and clear next steps, so a scan result actually means something. HOW IT WORKS • Snap a photo of the spot you're worried about • Add a quick note for better accuracy ("near a leaky pipe," "smells musty") • Get an AI match against a curated library of common household mold types • See risk level, look-alikes, and what to do next • Not confident? You'll see that too, plus the closest possible matches — never a guess dressed up as certainty WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Real mold compendium, not just a bare scanner — browse common types anytime, not only after a scan • Confidence shown honestly — alternate matches when a result isn't clear-cut • Add context before scanning for a sharper result • Every scan saved to your history so you can track a spot over time • Export a report — useful for landlords, insurance, or your own records Mold Identifier is a reference and awareness tool. It does not replace professional mold testing or remediation — for confirmed hazards or large-scale issues, contact a certified inspector. Mold Identifier Pro unlocks unlimited scans, full compendium access, and report export. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
