1. ★★★★★subscription trap

   Requires subscription. Literally the first thing they ask for is your money and you can’t use it without it starting a free trial they hope you’ll forget about

2. ★★★★★subscription trap

   Doesn’t ID and isn’t free. There were so many pop-ups I accidentally must’ve hit subscribe and now I can’t get my $39 back. Also, it doesn’t identify accurately.

3. ★★★★★subscription trap

   Subscription scam. I thought this was a free App. I opened it to look up ONE insect and never used it again. I just realized I’ve been charged every week for over a year for a subscription I didn’t know I had. Did not approve money coming out of my account. Couldn’t get my money back. 👎🏻

4. ★★★★★misidentification

   Different result every time. I kept resubmitting the same photo and the identification came up different every time.

5. ★★★★★photo rejection

   size. I have a perfectly big picture of the big but it says it’s to small. Does not meet my needs. The bug is practically the whole picture and says it’s too small.

6. ★★★★★misidentification

   Horrible. I purchased this to identify a fly that was in my basement that looked like a large mosquito. The app was way off. I then used it to identify a bee on my window. I wanted to see if it was a honey bee. The app didn’t even come close. Thought it was a spider and then a fly. Don’t waste your money. Not worth the $39 annual fee.

7. ★★★★★misidentification

   Way Wrong. The match doesn’t even come close to matching the bug in the photos

8. ★★★★★misidentification

   Kept telling me a beetle was bed bugs. See title

9. ★★★★★misidentification

   Not even close. Not close to actual pic

10. ★★★★★other

    Cannot delete my account. Please allow me to delete this account

11. ★★★★★misidentification

    Joke. This app is a joke. I took a picture twice of a termite and both times it gave me critters that look nothing like it. One was some scorpion tail bug and the other was a black and red spotted bug that isn’t indigenous to the USA. Also, it is 7 bucks a week! Wow! No thanks!

12. ★★★★★misidentification

    Not one correct ID. Trial run- entered several known samples and this was woefully incorrect on every try.

13. ★★★★★subscription trap

    Not good. Poor user interface. And it’s really not free a subscription fee kicks in after 3 day trial and there’s no clear and easy way to cancel the trial. Bad, bad, bad.

14. ★★★★★subscription trap

    “Free” trial? No way.. The app works ok, but I don’t need it. There’s no way to cancel the subscription! I have three days. An honest vender would make that possible.

15. ★★★★★subscription trap

    Don’t do it!. Do not download or use unless you plan to pay the subscription. Free trial is not real.

16. ★★★★★subscription trap

    Tricky App. This is not free. I accidentally paid for a year. Not only that it doesn’t even tell you if it’s poisonous or not.

17. ★★★★★misidentification

    No match. Spider didn’t show up in your list of options and I couldn’t find a place to input descriptors

18. ★★★★★misidentification

    Abysmal. Changes the results with each scan. Misleading information. Always says the picture is too blurry. Very picky. When you come across an insect it’s not always possible to get the best photo. Improve this app because I will be deleting in the meantime.

19. ★★★★★subscription trap

    NOT FREE.. Despite its claim, you cannot use app without purchasing a subscription.

20. ★★★★★photo rejection

    Good luck with small insects. Some fire ant sized insect fell on me from AC vent, it was dark red with some coloration on the body. took pictures on white counters. Pictures too blurry for ID Try to take picture inside app, no zoom. How can an app id a 1/4” object with no zoom? Good thing this app has 3-day trial. Deleting and canceling

21. ★★★★★misidentification

    Changed identity of bug with each picture. I got this to figure out what’s in my shower that keeps popping up, I took three pictures of the same bug one after another and got three different result. Now this would be acceptable if the app says it wasn’t sure but with each try it had it listed as over 90% accuracy. With one bug, and three completely different guesses, they can’t all be 90-95% accuracy. It just gave me 3 different small brown bugs. I already knew that. The first one it said was “ant” I know that a freaking ant looks like, it was not an ant. Useless for my needs

22. ★★★★★subscription trap

    $$$. If you Google search your image… it won’t charge you!

23. ★★★★★subscription trap

    Took my money without asking. Took my money without asking

24. ★★★★★misidentification

    Identifying spider. It literally said housefly for a giant house spider

25. ★★★★★misidentification

    Completely useless.. This app is completely useless! I took a picture of a common beetle & it states it’s a dangerous spider. Lol

26. ★★★★★subscription trap

    Required to subscribe for free trial. To unlock the “free 3 day trial” you must subscribe to a monthly auto renewal of $6.99. These apps are hoping a significant portion of their free trial users will forget to unsubscribe. Just make the app 99¢ a month from day one with a 24hr unsubscribe trial period and I am good. At that point I know what I am signing up for and the cost is low enough to ignore. Not an issue for this app per-se but Apple should create an all you can eat subscription service for all $1.99 a month and less apps.

27. ★★★★★misidentification

    Spiders. ?

28. ★★★★★subscription trap

    App is not free. This App is not free as advertised only free to down load bu cost to use

29. ★★★★★subscription trap

    Payment plan pop ups make it unusable. I was able to take 2 pictures/ 2 ids with this app (they were accurately identified at least) before a payment plan started popping up every time I take a photo. When I close off of it, it deletes the picture I’ve taken. It is not a free ID app as advertised, which I understand is sometimes necessary, but the kicker is deleting my photos and constant pop ups.

30. ★★★★★detailed descriptions and insect info

    Description. I like how it easily identifies above with a picture. That’s a great feature, but the description is a little too, Scientific. What I mean by that is not all of us understand the terminology used for these insects. Not saying I’m uneducated, but it’s nice to just have a quick precise description, other than getting in to verbiage that I’d have to look up to understand situation with the insect better. Thee than that. Pretty interesting for sure.
