Rating: AI Species Identifier (Plant/Bug/Animal)

doubtful rating

The idea appeals, one identifier for plants, animals, insects and dog breed in one place, and some value that it replaces a stack of separate apps. But accuracy lets it down: it confuses a moth with a beetle, a basset with a dachshund, and on snakes it errs dangerously, calling a viper a python, which on a trip could cost a life. Plus you get only one free scan, then a 7.99-a-week subscription many mistook for monthly and overpaid.

About the rating

Store 4.3 against text 2.14, and the praise five-stars are generic (Trusted results every time, Works fast I love it) against very specific ID failures (mistook a venomous Russell's viper for a python). That contrast between faceless praise and concrete errors hints at padding.
