An editorial reading of the saved reviews
The app invites you to identify an insect from a photo, and in rare wins a live expert confirms within a couple of days that the bug you found is not a bed bug or a recluse spider, which genuinely reassures. But it identifies poorly and dangerously: it confuses a termite with wasps and bees, a spider with a tick, and the same photo gives different answers. Plus not a single free scan, it demands 30 dollars a year up front for something you will use once or twice, and cancelling is agonizing due to a clunky interface.
