Insect Identifier - Scan Bugs
authentic ratingThe idea is useful but insect recognition is poor: it calls a beetle an ant, a caterpillar a bee, and an invasive spotted lanternfly a common moth. The camera cannot pick up small bugs at all, and the answer can change on the same shot. A free-trial subscription with an unclear exit sours the experience even for people who otherwise like it.

About the rating
Store 3.1 and text 1.47 are closer than the manipulated apps, and only 6 percent are five-stars. Reviews are specific on both sides, a spotted lanternfly called a moth and a wolf spider called a mushroom, real detail rather than templates.
