Very great app even without subscription!

Although without buying a subscription, you get many popups, you can easily press “continue with limited version”. I’m considering buying a subscription because I use this app so often as a gardener! For example, today I was able to identify some green lacewing larvae that were helping my garden rid of aphids. I’ve successfully identified many insects on this app and it even helped me realize that the butterflies I was finding weren’t painted ladies, but a different species. I really love using this and learning more and more about bugs. I’ve been able to identify so many spiders including crab spiders, orb weavers and a species of harvestmen I didn’t even know existed! This app also has all ladybug identifications and has helped me identify many different species. I cannot recommend this app enough. For those saying this app doesn’t give enough information about species- you can always look them up and learn more as well as how to deal with pests. (It’s what I do!) I use this app to get my identifications and then do further research. I also love how you can look back on all your identifications and pictures you have. It really feels like you have your own little collection made by you.

2 years together

I’ve been tricked 2 times into purchasing your app for a year. Apple is so resourceful I think it’s apple that’s decides to pick a one year plan for a low income senior, then it takes me months to get over it. I know one things for sure I’ve never choose a year for any app and I found out today it’s not legal for money to be taken from my acct without my authorization. There are very few apps I’d need to have longer than the free trial. But unless I choose to keep the app and check mark for one year apple can’t legally go in and take the money. In your situation I’ve been taken for the money because I forgot to delete it not because I choose to keep it. If it’s in my power I will file against apple just for the money they’ve taken and led me to believe it was right. I’m a senior I forget sometimes but I never choose weekly, monthly or yearly. Anyone who will give me my money back I won’t list for the lawyer and if I forgot it you’d have proof for court you paid it back. But appearing in court for taking from a senior isn’t something I’d want to advertise my business with. Anna

Very accurate!

I’ve used this app for a little over a year now and identified whatever happens to spark my curiosity. The results are usually very close to an actual species, and it’s 99% guaranteed for an accurate genus classification from the 3 options it gives you. I have an older iPhone, so my camera is not all that great and I take a lot of fuzzy-ish photos of small spiders, but the accuracy is still very spot on for what the image can convey! It’s amazing how this app can pick up small details like tiny dots or spines that are barely visible from an image. The brief overview of the insect is also very insightful, although most times general about toxins or venoms (lower risk, higher risk, aggressive vs. passive, etc.). I like how it gives you a map of where the insect is commonly found and for what time of year, as well as photos from other members or sourced from online to further identify your specimen. My only criticism is the pop up every time I open the app asking me to upgrade to premium, but other than that, there are no ads whatsoever and the free version works great for me. Overall, fantastic app for the free experience! I’m no scientist so I’m not sure I would recommend this for academic studies (even though I bet it’d be a good head start to identifying a genus/family if you’re not sure), but it sure is a helpful tool for anyone curious about a bug! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Needs Work

An ok app. Like many ID apps, it will often try to identify to a level not possible from the photo, resulting in misinformation. For example, if I post a photo that is only identifiable to family level, it will always attempt a species ID anyway. As far as accuracy goes, it is hit or miss. I was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy of some ID’s such as a least skipper photo I posted, but it also gets other obvious and distinctive insects such as the Coral hairstreak wrong (I study butterflies so that is largely what I tested). For many insects this probably isn’t a big deal, but it would be best to leave ID’s at a higher taxon level like family or genus if it is just going to make inaccurate species ID’s. It would also be good to have a comment system of sorts since correcting the ID is confusing if the photo isn’t identifiable to species and the app put the insect in the wrong family or order. Information about the insects themselves is usually fine but some entries are about the wrong organism (Ex: Mormon fritillary description talks about Tortoiseshell butterflies which are in a different genus). I can’t see a reason to use it over other ID apps unless accuracy improves.

Good IDs, bad species information

As an entomologist, I take my hat off to this app for surprisingly accurate & reliable identification. However, the hysteria & fear-driven (or pesticide-driven?) misinformation it spreads it pretty damned reprehensible. For instance, while it acknowledges that Harvestmen (one of two species known as “daddy long legs”) are not toxic to humans, it doesn’t acknowledge that they are literally incapable of biting humans, and goes on to say that they are, in regards to pets, a “bite animal”. As though these beneficial aphid-eating non-spider arachnids were a potential threat to your dog. Unless your “pet” is a white fly, your pets are 100% safe from these guys. And this is just one of numerous examples where the app is very out of touch with reality & potentially even destructive to the environment & horticulture as it spreads ignorance on one hand & informs in terms of basic identification with the other, making it seem more credible than it is. Because of this, I will never subscribe to premium, even though I find the app useful. Take the IDs, but always do your own research - preferably on sites that aren’t “pest management” companies with an agenda to sell their overzealous “services” a la Dale Gribble. 🙄

This is harder to rate than I thought…

… what I mean is, I try reserving 5 stars for apps that are close to flawless in providing the service I bought it for.. this came very close, I like the concept, the app is user friendly however it lacks a glossy of bugs I tried to identify. Without knowing just how tough if not impossible it is to acquire everything! You may want to rate it with less! However, the fact that this app knows this, explaining this and other great facts inside, helps you realize this app just hasn’t been finished! It’s constantly asking for new material or correct what you believe it is.. (if you don’t know, don’t add it. There is this place called a library which hold so much information, I’m sure if your a true hobbyists, you’ll find your answer there, then add it!) So basically this app needs our help to fill this apps glossy up! If this app is globally placed, we may even find a new species of arachnid or insect if we’re lucky! So that is why I want to give it a 5 but maybe as we add more constant, it’ll change.

It actually works!!!!! Highly recommend!

I’ve never written a review before but I had to for this one. My mother saw a mystery bug on her bathroom countertops at 3am. She texted me a picture of it and asked me what it was. I of course had no idea because I’m not a big expert. Then she told me to Google it and we had a whole argument about that. Then I said screw it and tried to see if there was a bug identifier app. I downloaded this one. I uploaded the picture and assumed it wouldn’t work because the bug was almost completely camouflaged by the grain in the countertop but whatever, it was 3am and my mom wouldn’t let me sleep. So I started the app thinking it would fail and in an instant it told me exactly what bug it was! It even showed me other similar images of it to make sure it got it right! Perfect! Bang on! Genius AI app!!! Shocked that it actually identified this camouflaged bug! Highly recommend!!

Didn’t realize how much I needed this

I kept seeing these guys around my house, so I got the app to discover I had carpet beetles. I was able to figure out how to get rid of them before it became an issue. Since then I have discovered a lot of bugs. Sometimes it’s cool just to know about the ones I see outside. Sometimes I know when to get on my sister’s case, because I’ve identified some bugs as the adults of the larvae she feeds her reptiles. the app tells me some of the bugs are in our house specifically because of certain plants she keeps. It also tells me how to protect my side of the house from her antics, and if I am in any danger. It’s surprisingly accurate. Even with really tiny bugs. The trick is to take a video with flash on amd get the camera as focused l, still, and zoomed in as possible. Then take a screenshot the clearest image from the video and upload it to the app.

Very good with subscription, could use more info

We went ahead and immediately paid the $20 a year subscription for the app. My son is really into bugs, and having some thing that immediately tells you what a bug is while you are out at the park or in the backyard was invaluable. Plus he has a blog where we like to write about the bugs we see every day. So as far is the actual identification part, this app is very quick and very accurate. It has easily identified every picture we have taken. If I had a criticism, it would be that it doesn’t give you clear useful information about the bug once the bug is identified. It would be nice to have a symbol that shows up immediately indicating whether the bug is dangerous, venomous, etc. Having the scientific name and diet is nice, but not the most useful information when you’re outside.

Can’t get much better

As far as making an app to identify a bug just by taking a picture of it.. does it get anymore convenient? I HATE spiders but I just moved to an area that’s by a forest and see these big spiders marching around the house. Pretty much just wanting to see what is or isn’t poisonous and the fact this app can pretty much identify most insect even by uploading a pic is...5 stars worthy. It gives a lot of info but there are specific answers I want to know and it would be nice if it provided a little bit more info about the insects, if they can harm your animals or family/friends, and/or how common they are, what attracts them, how to handle them, etc. That would make it more interesting and provide more than sufficient information that I think most people would be curious to know. I’m using the free trial and may try the full version to see if it provides more features. Brilliant!

Great app

I am not an insect lover lol. I am rather terrified of insects. I am from the city and moved to the country. I have encountered insects I have never seen before. To me, every insect is deathly poisonous lol. This app has helped ease some of my anxieties. I have been able to identify insects that I thought were harmful and some species that actually protect me from some of the more harmful insects and spiders. The app provides a good amount of information. For what it could not provide, it is nothing to go do more research using other sources. I have identified over 30 types of moths that I thought were butterflies and other kinds of insects. Trying to describe some of the insects is difficult but being able to take a picture, though not 100%, is very helpful and usually more accurate than not.

Loving it so far!

I have had this app for a few months now and as an aspiring entomologist, I've gotta say I have very few complaints! Most of the time it works properly and gives me accurate identifications while also providing options and opening the possibility of it being wrong. after i've been using the app for some time (and learned more about spiders 😃) I've noticed one or two out of hundreds of IDs have been incorrect. That being said, I love that it doesn't just spit out a species name and that it gives you full descriptions and comparison photos so that you can verify the accuracy of the identification yourself. my only complaints are that the pop-ups are annoying and that the built in camera isn't fantastic, so i normally default to using my device's camera and then importing a photo. Overall, great app that I plan to continue using throughout my studies! 4/5 😀

THANK YOU SO MUCH

When I was younger, I was playing with my friends in a field behind our houses, and at the edge of this field was a forest. It was late at night, and it was really dark. Then one of us noticed a huge moth on a leaf. One of my friends, who had brought along a camera, took a picture of the moth. It was pretty blurry, but you could tell it was a moth. We all had no idea what kind of moth it was, and I just recently found the picture again. I decided to find out what kind of moth it was, so I downloaded this app to see if it would work. I thought it might not recognize the moth, since it was so blurry. But to my surprise, the first result was the exact moth in the picture! Thank you so much, I definitely recommend this app!

Good but be careful of misidentification

I am a professional in insect and invert care and keeping. I’ve owned many tarantulas, spiders, roaches, scorpions and many others. I’m always seeing new spiders in the wild I didn’t know of but lots of insects can be easily misidentified, especially by an app that goes on one picture alone. I got curious and decided to test it with my own inverts. My curly hair was misidentified as a rose hair by no fault of the app. It’s common to mistake the two due to their markings being so similar. I also tested it on my Mexican Redknee, a more identifiable species. While the app did get it right, I noticed a picture that was not a Mexican redknee on the insect page. This app is mostly accurate but still be aware that it’s AI May misidentify a big as harmless but could actually contain powerful venom! Be safe and use the app wisely!

Amazing app! Have used for years!!

This is overall an amazing app! I’ve used it for about 2 years now on and off to categorize my entomological endeavors! Im 19 and all off my friends poke fun at me for loving insects but this app makes me happy! The information is not very in-depth but it is not hard to just look up the insect after it’s identified! Not that the info is incorrect or out-of-date it’s just there are millions of species of insects and it would take years to input all of the data about each! Though, there is a feature that allows you (the user) to add there own findings and information when you identify the specific species like location, age, sex, etc. which I think with time will get much better! Highly recommend!

Great Insect Identifier

This is a great app for bug identifying. I am always in my backyard & come across all types of insects. Most of the time I would not know what I would be looking at until I found this app. Now if I see something I do not immediately recognize, I just take a pic & almost 98% of the time (I would estimate) I get the type of insect I am looking at. It’s not 100% because I would venture to say ‘user error’. Some times pics just aren’t as clear as one would like. Bugs aren’t the most cooperative when photographing. They move, jump, fly away…etc. It will provide info on what insect you input telling you what you need to know about it. Overall it is a very good app to have.

Sometimes right…

I understand that it’s an app, and it’s not going to be 100% right, and sometimes it’s right. Other times it’s not even close, and I feel like that can be incredibly dangerous for a user. I wanted to be really thoughtful with my review. One thing that really bothers me with the app is the misuse of basic terminology. Example: monarch butterflies. You have them listed as venomous— indicating that they have venom gland and are able to bite and inject venom. Monarchs are considered toxic/poisonous if ingested. Monarchs are not venomous, they are poisonous. They lack the mouth parts capable of biting, and lack venom to be considered venomous. The words cannot be used interchangeably, and do not mean the same thing. I appreciate the correct IDs on many bugs, and I appreciate that you offer the use of the app for free— but I also hope some updates are made.

Some great pros but a secret price tag

This is a very quick, simple to use app with basic information. It is great for a fast identification of an odd creepy crawly, or in my case to have on hand since moving to a semi-tropical island where everything is venomous, poisonous, or straight up trying to scare you to death. (Huntsman spider, I am side eyeing you) This would also be a great resource for a bug crazed kiddo, and keep them entertained for hours. That said, this is one of those “free” apps that REALLY wants you to sign up for their 20$ a year subscription. Personally I just pushed the X in the corner and I could still use the app, but maybe the paid for version has more info, better features or other bug stuff. For me, I just need the ‘Is this going to kill me?’ Question answered quickly, and this does the trick.

Helped my identify fruit flies

I had a bunch of small flying bugs in the kitchen & bathrooms and didn't know what they were. I thought fruit flies but I've searched the house high and low and haven't found any rotten fruit or anything so I have no idea where they're spawning from. Seems like from thin air because when I kill one two or three more appear. I thought maybe I was wrong about what it was so I downloaded this app and was able to scan one after killing one. The app did identify it as a fruit fly but most importantly it gave some helpful information on what the cause is and several options for treating them other than the fruit fly traps I've been using. This app is great.

Very helpful app!

I’ve been using this app for free more than two years and it’s amazing! When first downloading the app, the subscription pop-up might be confusing but it’s optional. (Press cancel in the top-right corner) During an infestation, I was able to use this app to identify pests such as bed bugs and carpet beetles easily. I also love to add to my “Insects Collection” section. I have 99 entries right now and love to go out to look for more! As a bug-lover this app has helped me figure out what species are safe to touch and lots of facts about them. The accuracy is almost always perfect! I also love their other apps such as Picture-Bird or Picture-Fish! Go check them out!

Such a quality app

I was heading into bed and noticed a small bug crawling on my sheets (technically my shorts that were on my sheets). HORRIFIED I picked up my shorts, took them into the bathroom and snapped a picture of the alien-looking bug. Then after freaking out a bunch and debating sleeping in a different room, I had the idea to check if I could submit my picture anywhere to identify the bug. That’s how I came upon this app. Now my picture was sorta blurry, but to my surprise it scanned my picture and pulled up a bug that looked EXACTLY what I saw in my bed. (A Fire-Brat if y’all wanna look it up) Now, not only did I know the identity of the bug, but loads of interesting things about it; like the fact that it isn’t harmful and doesn’t bite, what may have caused it to be there, and how I can prevent it. I wasn’t expecting much since it’s the free version but WOW. Can’t go to sleep until I leave a review like this app is a game changer. Definitely recommend it for anyone who is either creeped out by bugs, interested in them, or lives with a bunch. You won’t regret it!

Good but not all the way there yet

Being someone who grows a lot of food and is a student of environmental science I was excited for this app. Pros: -Easy and aesthetic interface had me identifying insects in no time. -The first choice they gave me was right 100% of my pictures submitted. They even give a few extra choices just in case. -Complete scientific name and familiar classification. Cons: -Doesn’t really tell you much “regular” information. A lot of my pictures were pest species and no info was given on how to deal with them. Sure I can google it but isn’t that what paying is for? -Some of the explanations seemed like they came from someone who’s not entirely mastered English. Which isn’t a negative cause they haven’t mastered English. I can infer and figure out what they’re saying. But it’s a scientific app. Kinda something you wanna be exact in your descriptions. Overall this app is cool on the surface and helped me ID a lot of different insects. But it lacks real substance with regards to dealing with pests or giving any detailed info on species. I understand it’s difficult given the sheer amount of insects out there. I might keep this till the seven day mark but unsure. Thanks for listening to me blab.

Digger Wasp Identification

OK so this is the first time I have used this app and I found that at first it did not identify the picture of the insect that I was trying to identify; this maybe because my picture was too blurry ; so be careful that your picture is a little bit more precise. Once I made my picture a little clearer and I went through a selection because it gave me an option of what the insect variety’could be ‘ to clarify my choice. I was able to identify the culprit of a nasty sting to my right toe yesterday. I look forward to using this app. As I live in a place where there are lots of their interesting and six beneficial And occasionally annoying.

Must Have

If you are an insect lover or if you have critters that have decided to make themselves at home in your house and/or yard, and are curious as to what they are, this app will certainly let you know. Not only does this app identify the critter within seconds, but it also gives you a complete breakdown of the insect and inform you if it’s harmless or not. I find myself on outdoor adventures quite a bit and constantly find “new” critters that I am curious about. If it wasn’t for this app, I would never know what they are. This app has come in handy way more than expected and quickly became one of my favorite apps; definitely in the top 3.

Used twice and it worked well

I have only used the app twice but it worked well both times. I even verified the results with a local extension service website. My only issue is with the information given in the “Learn More” section. In giving the hierarchy of the Burrowing Peanut Bug that was identified it listed this under phylum: ”Arthropoda - Arthropods, Crustaceans, Indris, sifakas, and woolly lemurs.” The last three are not Arthropods but Chordates. A typo? Or maybe this was added to see if anyone was actually reading the information?! Update to review: I was contacted by the developer and given a better way to correct typos etc. I’m very glad they care enough to look at their reviews! Thanks for a good app and the feedback.

Why I would NOT recommend this app

Okay okay, I really love bugs and animals and I wanted an app that would help identify them so I got this one because the other one was not free (it is called insect identification) and it worked very well, but I could only use it one time (because it lets you used it one time before if makes you buy it) so I went back on the App Store and got this one so I could identify bugs for free. I was looking forward to it, so I tested it by going through my camera roll and choosing a flea, it did it’s thing and when it loaded it said it was a— Lesser Stripedtail scorpion??!!!! ( look up what they are if you don’t know, they are called Lesser Stripedtail scorpion and a flea) So then I tested different bugs and — it was all wrong. The only one it got right was the crane fly (Mosquito hawk). So that is why I thing you should NOT get this app, and thanks for reading till the end I really needed to talk/rant about this app.

Good identification but not informed

This app is good at identifying insects, but it does not tell you about the benefits of these insects to the ecosystem. For example I found a goal wasp on my oak. It doesn’t tell you whether this is a harmful past or beneficial to the ecosystem. All it says is that it’s parasitic to plants which could sound bad to a lot of people. From another source on the Internet I found this: Oak gall wasps are part of the biodiversity that a healthy oak tree supports. They little or no impact on the tree's health and growth is minimal, therefore to attempt to control them is undesirable. The app would be better if it included information about whether the insect was an important part of the ecosystem versus whether it is invasive or dangerous.

Love this!!

I use this to collect pictures of bugs I come across and learn more about them. The only thing I would change about the app is. One, make it so that when you load the app up it’s fast to get to the camera just in case I need a quick shot. (Granted if I paid for it the initial and only ad wall would not be preventing me from doing so) Two, I would like more interesting facts about the bugs I see. (What do they tend to eat?, how do they typically behave, do that have any unique characteristics that set them apart. Other than that I love this app and have used it to take photos of 100+ bugs.

Too cool

This is by far one of the coolest apps I’ve ever downloaded. My husband and I like to travel and we’re always seeing cool and new spiders and insects we’ve never seen before. We’re usually pretty fascinated by them and time permitting can spend hours pouring over Google search results to find a match. We were on a retreat in Virginia when we found a spider we couldn’t quite find a match to on Google and I downloaded this app. It found it immediately and I’ve used it multiple times since then! The yearly rate is very affordable and I feel that I’ll be using this app regularly!

Treacherous advertising

The vendor offers this application through the Apple Store stating that it is free during an one-week trial period when you can cancel the subscription. I did not like the application and spent several hours trying to find a way to cancel the subscription before I get charged ~$30. My account at Apple or iTunes finds the subscription as “free for one week”, but does no offer any option to cancel. Instead, it offers many options to subscribe! Even if I accept the minimum one-week period, I am not sure whether that subscription will remain for one week and will not be extended automatically: it is described as “weekly”. To me, this process appears to be intentionally conceived to deceive. I apologize and withdraw this bad review if there is a clear way to cancel the subscription without any automatic renewal and billing.

Couldn’t have asked for a better app!

I never realized anyone had made such a great app before, but when I saw this in the App Store I was like, “no way!”. So I tried it out and have used it every week since getting it because often times I’ll find a bug and I’ll wonder what it is, or a spider and will want to know if it’s harmful to me or my pets. It even has a bug bite identifier!!! How cool is that!? The developers also have some other apps that come in handy too like plant identifying tools and even animal identifiers. I can’t wait for them to release more great stuff for sure.

Completely inaccurate

I tried this on a spider 1/2 inch in diameter. It gave me everything from a wood tick (I know what those look like) to several varieties of moth, to a brown rat. Not kidding. A brown rat. I also had to get within a foot of the spider to take a decent photo; zoom wouldn’t work well enough from any further away, even 2 feet, on my iPhone that tends to have excellent zoom capabilities. I tried reporting the inaccurate reading (seriously. Not a rat of any color. Wrong phylum entirely), but that wasn’t an option. I tried putting “spider,” but it wanted me to pick which one. Feeling that to be somewhat defeative of the purpose of downloading the app to begin with… I gave up. Less than 10 attempts on the same creature, and I’ve blown through my free tries. No reason to think the paid version is any better. No thank you.

Feeding curiosity

I love this app because it truly helps me and my daughter, who loves bugs, learn so much about the fascinating creatures around us that so many are naturally afraid of. My daughter is someone I’m so proud of because she has inspired people who would never think about going near bugs to hold bugs and even become inquisitive about them. We would have never come as far as we have on our bug-loving journey if it wasn’t for the security we feel when we ask if the bugs we come across are harmful or not. Thank you for this amazing app!

Does not work well

I chose this app because I have its “sister” app for identifying plants and couldn’t be more impressed with that one! This bug one, on the other hand, is basically useless. I’ve tried identifying many types of bugs, many attempts each, and each attempt it gives me a different result and almost every time that result is incorrect and usually not even close. On top of that, the data they have on each bug they identify is extremely minimalistic and basically useless. Again, their plant app excels greatly in this area with tons of accurate and useful information so I expected better from the same creator. 2 stars because it does identify some insects and that’s kind of cool, but really doesn’t do anything “well”…

Great app, works quickly

Came across a large spider. Usually with a few keywords I can get close on Google, but I just couldn’t identify it. I opened this app, uploaded my photo, and it identified the spider correctly within a few seconds. It also made some other similar suggestions if I disagreed, so that was cool. Anything you scan gets put in your collection, so it’s a fun way to keep track of what you find. I like that you can see photos that other people have submitted too, but I wish there was some way to rate them or something so the best pic is shown. Some are far better than others, but it’s a good starting point.

STRANGELY DISMISSIVE

For those of you seeking a true identifier of insects, I would probably venture to say this is not the correct app. It’s full of grammatical errors which automatically would make one step away from something, especially when it comes to identifying potential pests and dangerous insects. Anything that is not 100% venomous is pretty much dismissed with the “there’s no need to be overly concerned. “ the app launches into these curious praises/ descriptions and… Look… If you love insects that’s great. But for those of us who are being faced with horrible allergic reactions, it’s advice and identification ring very Hollow. Maybe it’s a language difference as well. I’m guessing this was crafted somewhere out of side of the English-speaking world which is fine but at least use a spellcheck.

Great service this is

I live in an old building,beautiful as it is I have found that myself and my husband and kitty are not alone in this wooden wonder. I am not a smart phone fanatic but my husband included to his a plant and tree identifier for our walks and a light went off in my little bean brain if only one to identify the tiny little less than friends I keep finding in my casa …. And then I found you! vERY helpful for me-and now my hubby doesn’t think I have a screw loose anymore. Thank you so much and don’t change a thing please it works perfect as is. Sincerely Amy

I love this app

Some of the things I really like about this app is that it’s usually really precise and it can find the bug in pictures with a lot of stuff happening, I also really like how fast it is when it comes to taking a picture. Where as with any other apps it might take a while to get your phone out and click on a few things to get to the picture and then take a good picture and by the time you do all that the bug has most likely flown/swam/walked away. (Thank you Picture Insect👌🙂)

Very helpful

As someone with SEVERE arachnophobia, this app basically helps me determine which spiders are venomous, and living in the south there are more than enough to go around. This app has been super helpful at helping identify different kinds of spiders, and even helped alert us to several brown recluse in our house. The ONLY thing I would suggest is maybe having a toggle option that would allow you to read the info about the identification, without seeing the pictures. I obviously understand why there are pictures, but it definitely makes my experience that much more anxiety inducing.

Awesome!

I found a bug that looked like a spider I’d never seen before making a home on the trampoline net. I didn’t want to disturb it, but wanted to make sure it wasn’t poisonous. I searched the internet with a description of the bug but couldn’t get results with a picture that matched. Then I found this app. I took a picture, submitted it, and in seconds the app accurately provided a picture and information about the bug. Turns out it’s an assassin bug. After a google search of the name I found that the bug isn’t as dangerous as the name sounds; well, at least to humans.

Almost Perfect

I think it’s great for finding somewhat rare bugs. We have fun identifying everything we find and it’s good that it saves it because now I know I have Chagas’ disease from a bug it identified! To be perfect, we need to see photos of every bug it identifies, every stage of that bug, and the truth if it’s parasitic, not just that a worm can always turn on you. Many say they aren’t harmful when they can be. If they can hurt even one person they should be classified as potentially harmful. Better to be safe than sorry. I love reading the history, too. It even identifies most bites correctly!

Must have for bug and spider lovers!

I discovered this app a year ago, and have used pretty frequently! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been bitten, stung, or just wanted to know what bug is crawling on my window! What I can say, however, is that picture insect has been there every single time. I have loved everything about insects and arachnids since I was little, when I discovered this app it was a must have. Even without buying the subscription, this app deserves every single one of those 5 stars!

Quick ID

Has identified several bugs I found around in my yard (Nashville, TN). It’ll ID very tiny aphids, paper wasps, bug nymphs, big brown recluse spiders. I rather use the built it camera app in my iPhone 13 to take a pic, bc the user interface (of the camera app) is friendlier. The in-app camera controls are not as user friendly - I have issues with the zooming controls placement and the screen-tap to focus control is removed. Other than the camera controls the app gives you a good amount of info. I like it.

This app is a game-changer

I have kids who want to learn about stuff like bugs and with this app I am able to let them know about the bugs and the details of it’s life, thanks to this app not only am I able to share this knowledge with my kids but I also get to learn about which bugs are good and bad, for a long time I had a big fear of bugs but now knowing if they are good or helpful I now just look them up on this app so that me, my family and my kids are not afraid!!!!!!

Great app with accurate identification!

Not only does this app accurately identify clear pictures of large bugs with good lighting and plain backgrounds, but it also accurately identifies teeny tiny little bugs that my camera couldn’t possibly focus on, and it even managed to identify a spider that blended in with the background! I love this and use it all the time, mostly because it’s so fun to identify all the random bugs I see 😂 I love this app and highly recommend it for all your bug identifying needs 👍

Love the app minus one thing

I use the app several times a day but I still hate when it asks me if the result is correct when I have no idea. I’m using the app to figure it out so how can I answer that? It also pops up when I’m trying to photograph the next insect and you can’t get rid of it without answering or closing the app out. By the time I close the app out the insect I wanted to photograph is long gone. It’s just frustrating but I’ve shared my opinion on this several times with no change so I feel like it’s pointless to keep reporting it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Incredible!!!!!!!!!

I love this this app! I love studying bugs and this app makes it even better! If you like bugs, you’ll love this app! And you still get a wonderful experience even if you don’t pay for it! Just love it! Use it everyday! It’s really nice to know what kind of bugs are around you, what bugs may look dangerous, but are actually completely harmless, and bugs that look like they couldn’t do anything to you if they tried, are actually really dangerous! Love it! 100,000,000/5 stars!

Super Useful

This app is super useful and informative! My friends and family will now send me photos to identify bugs for them using this app. Not 5 stars because I have to refuse the paid version of the app every time I open it. Please remove that pop up ad. If I want to pay for extra stuff, features, information, etc. I will pay for it. In the mean time, let me use the app without bothering me every time I open it. It’s one extra step every time and it’s annoying.

Amazing

As a bug lover, I live near some dangerous bugs and when I take a pic of them I know whether they are harmless or not and other facts about them like there name and science name, o recommends this to all my friends and it’s such a great app with very accurate results I also love the creators other apps but there is one thing I would recommend, mabye you could add if the bug is endangered or not or how long they’ve been around for and also if they could be a good pet, Tysm and I’m so grateful for your apps!!!

Its amazing! ❤️

This app has been a game changer, it literally has never been wrong before! When I found a random weird bug I thought was a big mosquito it turned out to be a certain type of wasp and it was identical! It also saved me from a case of bed bugs, one day in a cabin I get seeing beetles but then I saw a strange bug so I scanned it and it was a beetle. Of course you may have to take a few pictures before you get a accurate one, but otherwise its amazing
