What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about this Android app.
"I love this app but lately I'm having technical difficulties with it. When I try to upload a picture to identify, it will not let me scroll through my pictures. It shows pictures to fill the screen, but I can't scroll down at all to get to the pictures I want to identify. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I've tried everything. Going to have to get rid of the app if you can't fix it soon."
"this app is so much fun but the camera takes 4 seconds to focus and is really hard to use on pixel 6. especially with insects. good luck!"
"I scan my carrot sprout twice... it said it was lizard, then the next time it said it was a leaf cutter ant... there were no lizards nor ants... I tried the challange, it wanted me to find bees, found one, it kept detecting the flower the bee landed on (correctly, but if it's specifically asking for bees...) also if I know for a fact what the carrots are (because I planted them) I should be able to tell it what it is rather than just flag it as incorrect... also opt 4 swtch btwn bug & plant"
"It use to work amazing, now with new updates it hasn't worked in months, very disappointing."
"Great app, so much fun when it works. Not being able to store your data online really sucks- when my last phone broke I had to start over, which was sad because I had put a lot of time into it. The identifying feature is finnicky, but it's obviously a complex algorithm and I don't expect it to be perfect."
"I haven't gotten an ID for plant or animal yet."
"Samsung S22 Ultra: Unfortunately this app does not work on this device. The camera is slow and stutters, and the best ID I've gotten for almost every attempts is "Dicot"; it could not even ID Japanese knotweed. Very disappointing after being highly recommended. Maybe this is just an Apple-focused app?"
"Excellent app, I love how easy it is to identify plants with this app, and it works without internet or cell service, which is a huge plus."
"Said a picture of a bird was a crab."
"Fantastic app with badges which encourage you to observe and look out for all species. Tip stay very still and wait a few seconds when taking pictures"
