Charged me for an unwanted subscription even though I've declined it multiple times.

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.

★★★★ 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

★★★★ 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

★★★★ Johan Leklek 1/26/2026 v2.9.0
I tried to take an photo but it blurrs when I took the photo.. bad app
★★★★ Michael Angelo Mamhot 1/14/2026
Inaccurate! Only has 1 earthworm. Every earthworm you take a picture of will result in a red wriggler 👎
★★★★ Scarlet Davidson 1/1/2026 v2.9.0
I liked the app, got the annual subscription. I got a new phone and now I can't log in, and it wont recognize my email to try to change password.
★★★★ Andrew Findlay 12/29/2025
couldn't identify spider i had found in my loungeroom
★★★★ Sy Al 12/25/2025
don't waste your time unless you have $30
★★★★ Jennifer Garza 12/19/2025 v2.8.33
I didn't not subscribe to this app and yet they keep charging me I'm on fixed income I can't afford non sense refund my money thieves
★★★★ Richard Amara 12/1/2025 v2.8.33
i want my money back !!!! i cannot refund
★★★★ Mike Zero 11/30/2025 v2.8.33
if you can work around the ads, and it's not making you rewatch due to highly suspect 'error cannot access gallery' ... it will offer a different response each time, and only detects to to Wikipedia for Vague info
★★★★ Jack Faris 11/25/2025
"Free App" for 7 days, then $29.99.
★★★★ Robert J. Warren II 11/25/2025 v2.8.33
If you change phones good luck. It does not recognize the change, and the help is out of date. Best to just cancel I emailed support but got no response; I cancelled but they will not refund, so I am paying until July for an app that I can no longer access. Horrible customer service. But they do make comments online.
★★★★ Ben Duthie 11/25/2025
It says there's a free trial but you have to input a payment method that ticks over automatically after 7 days. It's more trap than trial. I didn't even get to try the app out unfortunately. Uninstalled.
★★★★ NikkiTheOtter 11/23/2025 v2.8.19
App is not actually free, opening after download immediately shows a subscription based service.
★★★★ Shelby Hutton 11/20/2025
I love that I deleted this app and canceled free 7 day subscription same day because I realized I didnt need it but saw that it charged me $33 dollars???
★★★★ Charlyn Mae Pereira 11/20/2025 v2.8.33
I attempted to use the trial, but I did not click or confirm any subscription. However, an amount of ₱1,700 was still charged automatically. I did not authorize this payment, as I only wanted to access the trial.
★★★★ Nikki Grimmz 11/12/2025 v2.8.33
[T.L.D.R.]: App cannot identify most species.(gets them wrong). (full review below). With this app, I was charged $30.00. I also had multiple charges (unrelated), because my identity was stolen.(phone/wallet/purse/ECT.) I tried contacting Google, through the play store and everything. They would not refund my money. Even though I told them I did not authorize this charge. Because now I'm stuck with that year's subscription.... I tried using it. The app is very limited to what it can do.
★★★★ Kyllie Shane Libed 11/10/2025
This is making my picture blurry and my camera aint even blurry THE APP IS MAKING IT to be honest do not download this if you dont want 100 takes for a stupid insect thank you
★★★★ Bedan Kamau 11/9/2025
Requires payment information before you use it
★★★★ keith mcallister 11/8/2025 v2.8.33
scammer trash
★★★★ Bryan Coker 11/8/2025 v2.8.33
typical scam app wants your card number
★★★★★ 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).
★★★★★ Werepup 1/22/2026 v2.9.0
fun idea for quick info...but Google has a similar camera feature with a much bigger data base so if you're looking for a odd species you might have better luck there.
★★★★★ Holly Smith 1/9/2026 v2.8.33
I cannot uninstall it. I'm having to figure out instructions from the internet about how to get this app uninstalled from my phone.
★★★★★ evan athariz 1/2/2026 v2.9.0
this doesn't even work i took a picture of a brown spider but it says that it is a ant or a black widow
