Bug ID - Insect Identifier
gamed ratingSometimes it quickly and correctly flags a dangerous spider, which is genuinely reassuring. But the misses are gross: it calls a fly a spider then a fly, cannot handle a bee, reads the same photo differently, and calls a normal photo too small. On top of that sits aggressive monetization: you must subscribe to start, charges run unnoticed for years, and refunds are near impossible.
Five-stars split sharply into two types: detailed stories from an entomology student, a bug-fearing mom, someone who moved near a forest read like written-to-template testimonials, while one-stars concretely hit wrong IDs and a hidden 39 dollar charge. Store 3.95 versus text 2.15 with that templated chorus reads as manipulation.
