★★★★ "Inaccurate. If I could post the photos I’ve taken and then the results I’ve gotten you would understand why I give it 1-star. I’ve taken photos of the same insect from different angles and get completely different results each time." - lyftsux1980a

★★★★ Hotch84 4/23/2026 v2.21.1
Phone apps are too expensive
If it was 40 once that would be fine but mobile app developers do the subscription model. As a software developer I can tell you that the app is nice and works but way too expensive
★★★★ NEed it 777 4/15/2026 v2.21.1
Stupid app!
This stupid app gave me a free trial and was not supposed to charge me for a subscription! And then come to find out they took $39.99 out of my account and now I don’t even have money to buy what I need. Why would I pay $40 for something when I can look up the info on google. Stupid!! I need my money back. Also there’s no way to contact them that I have found so I can’t get my money back. So annoyed rn.
★★★★ RTSV65 4/12/2026 v2.21.1
Extremely misleading. This is not a free app. It is a free one week trial.
Just another fake “free app”.
★★★★ Jalyssa kreip 4/8/2026 v2.21.1
Scam
The app is a scam you need to pay 40 bucks just to take a picture of a bug bite and see what it is
★★★★ kayeRATEEM 2/22/2026 v2.21.1
terrible
of course ANOTHER stupid app where you have to pay before you do anything. i'm not paying for a app that i don't even know actually works. bot reviews, bot ratings

★★★★ bookmrd 1/12/2026 v2.21.0
Free trial is misleading!
I was trying to go for a free trial as your app suggested and selected it and I was going to pay the $2.99 month thereafter. But which it automatically charged my card for $ 39.95 indicating that that would be a per month charge! Ridiculous! And the reason I got the app it doesn’t even do anything to help me out with identifying pests in my home! This is for people who I guess love to learn about insects. But it was not described like that on the description. I was also supposed to get a seven day free trial before my card would be charged and it charged me immediately. I want a refund of the total $39.95 charged to my card. I will never be using this app.
★★★★ Shining Star Forever 1/2/2026 v2.21.0
Not even close!
This ap said it is a fruit fly. I wish it was!The picture I researched and found it to be the most disgusting bug I’ve ever dealt with.
It invaded my
Body the female laid eggs in me it’s a CORPS FLY. It will go done six feet when it smells a corpse they like to eat rotting flesh make huge infected spots and are very hard to irradiate.
★★★★ -/:);&;& 11/16/2025 v2.21.0
Not a free app
Not a free trial. You have to authorize $39.99 payment to try it out.
★★★★ Ol' Greybeard 11/13/2025 v2.21.0
Not worth a hoot
I submitted three pictures of the same insect and received thee different identifications. Not really helpful.
★★★★ CiderWench 10/25/2025 v2.20.0
Charged immediately for “free” trial
I signed up for the 7-day free trial and was charged $17.99. Don’t try it if you’re actually expecting a free trial. You’ve been warned!
★★★★ yo boi...Sheogorath 10/9/2025 v2.20.0
Trash. Couldn’t use it cause it requires money and subscription. Not a free app and scammy.

Picture insect: bug idenifer
ONLY 2 pictures a day like what if i see three so horrible wouldn’t recommend
★★★★★ Sphahanyc 5/7/2026 v2.21.1
Hmmm,
Good app but not for kids
★★★★★ LINGEO13 12/29/2025 v2.21.0
Not accurate
I took a picture of the same insect multiple times and each time it gave me a different name. Very inconsistent.
★★★★★ AntsAreReallyCool😁 12/4/2025 v2.21.0
It’s okay
I give this two stars because on the App Store it’s free but when you get on the app you have to pay or have a free trial for 7 days. But this was helpful finding out species of ants I saw in my house
★★★★★ HLPorter 10/2/2025 v2.20.0
False information
Stop putting false information on here. You’re putting incorrect information that is making people more afraid of spiders.
The orb weavers are not harmful to humans. They will not attack or bite.
