User Reviews

Users cite a free basic option and sometimes quick identifications, but widespread accuracy problems and a paywall undermine value. Many reviews report misidentifications, recurring subscription prompts, and technical issues like onboarding freezes and device compatibility problems. Overall, the concept is appealing, but reliability and pricing transparency hinder its usefulness.
Pros
  • Free to use for basic identifications / no subscription required
  • Quick identifications on good photos / instant answers (e.g., caterpillar)
  • Useful resource for garden pests and worms / broad insect knowledge
  • App praised by some users as a helpful free tool for occasional use
Cons
  • Inaccurate or unreliable identifications / frequent mislabeling (bugs labeled as wasps, beetles, etc)
  • Mandatory subscription or payment to view results / continue guessing after initial use
  • Technical issues such as freezing during onboarding and poor performance on newer devices (e.g., iPhone 16 Pro) or after updates
  • Pricing not clearly disclosed / some reviews say charges aren’t clearly labeled as free

apps that charge for subscription should not be categorized as free i tested one photo of a bee, which was an easy identification. the app got it right. i wanted to identify an unknown insect. the app said it wasn’t sure. i chose to continue with its best guess — immediately asked for money.

I’m trying to install the app and use the AppAdvice lifetime offer. The app is freezing at the initial onboarding where it forces you to take a pic (of an insect) to proceed.
