Insect Discover
Read full descriptionHide full description
Explore insects with 1,500 offline field guides. Compare wings, body shape and markings, make your own guess, then review the suggested matches. Insect Discover does not require a user account with the developer and has no ads, tracking, analytics service, or developer server. Photo matching runs on your device using a bundled model. Rizk Corsight, LLC does not receive your identification photos, observation log, or learning history. Identification does not send your photo to a server. Apple and Google services may use a network connection for app or asset downloads, purchase information, purchases, restoration, and purchase verification. Links you open and files you choose to share are handled by the services or destinations you select, under their own policies. These activities are separate from on-device photo matching. The developer does not collect personal information through the app from children or other users. Store services and any external destination you choose have their own privacy terms. Identification suggestions can be wrong; compare visible features and do not rely on a suggestion for wildlife-handling or safety decisions. The app includes three days of full access. After that, continued access requires an optional one-time purchase. The trial does not renew or charge automatically, and there is no subscription. Apple or Google processes payment; the developer does not receive payment-card details. Local purchase and trial records help manage access. Restoring purchases may require the store account used for the purchase and an internet connection.
