Automatically Charged for 1 year subscription! Don't believe the 7 day free trial. I was charged the first day of usage without any notice. Beware!
★★★★ James Poulson 6/15/2026 v2.9.1
Seems to stay stuck on the white screen. Connection issue?
★★★★ cydnee Zingg 6/15/2026
Worst review ever I hate this app.It didn't detect anything.I put it up to a ladybug , and it said it was a cockroach. ooga Nana. Stick. oh my god no no no no. ohana MI means means family.
★★★★ Moss 6/13/2026
"Hey so this insect you identified is very dangerous for humans. Anyways to view information that could save your life you have to pay a subscription!" and so... there's a potentially deadly spider in my bedroom I still don't know what species it is 😁
★★★★ Chris Wills 6/2/2026 v2.9.1
My card got charged as soon as the free trial started.
★★★★ Caleb Foster 5/28/2026 v2.9.1
it sucks 😕
★★★★ L S 5/25/2026 v2.9.1
I rarely bother to review apps, but this one earned it given misidentification could prove a significant hazard. I got this app and tested it by providing profile/scientific level id pictures of various arachnids from official sources... it got every one of them wrong and even said one with significant venom was relatively harmless. don't waste your money.
★★★★ Jim Cwierley 5/19/2026 v2.9.1
Be VERY careful when you do the 'free' trial. If you hit the wrong button, you'll end up with a $30 bill and no chance of a refund. Honestly, just move on to the next one. Unless you like the risk of coughing up $30 without the trial.
★★★★ Michael Bildstein 5/15/2026 v2.9.1
Disabling the global Android navigation bar is unacceptable.
★★★★ Ethan Kriebs 5/14/2026 v2.9.1
predatory app charging you a yearly fee instead of monthly by default.
★★★★ -- 5/13/2026 v2.9.1
Manipulative, obtrusive selling tactics from the very 1st second you enter the app. Selecting a part of the photo and zooming doesn't work.
★★★★ Hisame Artwork 5/12/2026
it lies about being free, it demands money asap nothing works is so defective. what a scam
★★★★ You will B judged 5/11/2026
must pay
★★★★ Rhea H. 5/11/2026 v2.9.1
Doesn't really tell much about identifying the insect! When I asked it questions it told me to go online? Something I'd already done before trying this app! And Doesn't really say how to get rid of them, like what works, specifically for the type of insect. Very disappointing app, especially for the price! My advice don't pay for this app! Didn't tell me anything I didn't already know!
★★★★ Frozn “Rocus1515” popsicle 5/11/2026 v2.9.1
this thing is trash. try to take a picture and it changes the image to something else
★★★★ Sora Nakamura 5/9/2026
not sure why a resource like this would requre a subscription. pure money grab. do not download. avoid this developer.
★★★★ D but no last names “Lucky” Hackers love last names 5/9/2026 v2.9.1
JUNK JUNK JUNK $$$$$ RIGHT OFF TO A FREE PAID TRIAL DO BUT OF GO MUST PAY TO TRIAL OHHHHH WELL
★★★★ Margie Blessing 5/7/2026
Charged me for an unwanted subscription even though I've declined it multiple times.
★★★★ Kina Heather 5/2/2026 v2.9.1
I just installed to identify a spider. In red bold print, it says the spider is dangerous to humans and pets. However, you can't click it unless you pay. So I looked it up online. It is not dangerous at all. I'm going to uninstall because that's just unreliable in a bad way.
★★★★ E.A. Chandler 4/27/2026 v2.9.1
When I downloaded it under the 7-day trial, it said I could cancel it on Google Play, but I cannot find a link to the function.
★★★★ ROGER DEWITT 4/27/2026
So many adds very tiny use then must PAY
★★★★ Mark Stone 4/16/2026 v2.9.0
this app got it wrong
★★★★ DWS_Rusty 4/15/2026 v2.8.33
This app used to give you a lot of info about an insect but not every little detail, unless you payed. Now it gives you hardly nothing about the insect and when you click on more it wants you to pay to unlock info it used to give for free.
★★★★ Scott R. Watson, Jr. 4/6/2026
This site is either in its early stages of development or as an absolute joke And there's no way to delete your account And I wrote email after email to try to get them To delete my account so I would not be charged and I did that within A couple of days of trying the app out And they still charge me . what kind of Bs Is going on here. Now you're getting sued And I'm going to report to many different agencies Intent To screw you like you did me
★★★★ Black Rose 3/31/2026
I canceled the App and it still charged me.
★★★★ Lisa Allen 3/22/2026 v2.9.0
app worked great identifying the bug I was looking at. The app was a 7 day free trial. After I used it for one day, I tried to cancel it but I kept getting an error message or try again later. It said it would be $1.50 if I didnt cancel , so I just gave up. After 7 days I was charged $29.99. Im still unable to dispute the charge.
★★★★ Vanessa “Vannie” Sanz 3/20/2026 v2.9.0
the app free trial didn't get my cancelation and it changed me the full subscription I want a refund.
★★★★ Janice Day Mally 3/13/2026 v2.9.0
I try to pictures to entamoligist at uga .for help bc I am invested and need help.you will not allow me to forward any pictures. I have hired 2 bug company's only to be left with no help. terminex is just a sales machine. not service .160.00 a month they still have not been here to help me.
★★★★ Carmen Jenkins 2/27/2026 v2.9.0
not useful
★★★★ Karen J. Sorensen 2/19/2026 v2.9.0
BAD
★★★★ PJ Burroughs 2/7/2026 v2.9.0
The free trial is a scam. They claim a 7 day free trial, but charge your card immediately rather than at the end of the 7 days
★★★★ Leo Ruocco 2/5/2026 v2.9.0
they wanted money I'm not interested
★★★★ Aimee Beth Grace 1/31/2026 v2.9.0

doesn't work at all. not even close.
★★★★★ Kim Kaspersen 6/20/2026 v2.9.1
Inaccurate. Can't spot the difference between an insect larvae and a slug.
★★★★★ Ingeir Riylm 6/6/2026
I'm not even able to use this app without giving them my credit card information.
★★★★★ Brittani Carroll 5/7/2026
very cool app but pricey
★★★★★ Lachlan Hines 3/7/2026 v2.9.0
terrible at species level identification, thinks all millipedes are the same species (despite there being something like 16 orders of the thing).
