Contact Picture Mushroom Support

The amount of ads just to read basic information is insane. DELETE APP, same information is free in other places. I’m all for contributing to good apps, and I would possibly consider the $30 a year this app wants, but I didn’t get a chance to find out everything the app can do because I was hit with ads so often when just trying to read simple descriptions that I gave up. There has to be a way to let people try it out without making them commit to being charged at the end of seven days if they want to keep it or get busy with life and forget to cancel. I don’t know where the developers live, but $30 for an app that only identifies mushrooms is a big commitment for me financially. Just insane…
Edit: Dev emailed me but I don’t think they understand my review… no, I do not want to email you, I don’t need to have this discussion in private. Not do I need to provide my financial information to your app even temporarily just to see what it is your app does. That is very shady to me. You can make the app full access for 30 days and THEN ask if users want to subscribe or lose full features. You do not need user financial information upon download.

I used the app for the first time with a photo of a mushroom in the agaricus family. Below the photo was series of pictures came up calling it “Bisporus” which looked exactly like the one I had harvested. As it was considered safe to eat, I ate it, and got very nauseous. I did more research on wikipedia and learned there is a similar but inedible agaricus (xanthodermus) which I suspect I ate. (I live at 8,000 feet in New Mexico and there are many mushrooms after the summer rains.) I have never had the nerve to pick and eat one before today, when the app gave me the confidence I had an edible mushroom. The app did not exactly name my mushroom in the photo, which I didn’t realize at the time, but just showed file pictures that looked identical to mine. I will try the app again and take more care with identification details, but I will probably not ever eat a wild mushroom again, as I felt pretty terrible and scared. Just thought you should know the risk I experienced.

I downloaded this app to find out about a specific mushroom I had found outside one day. I took multiple different pictures of the same mushroom and each time it would tell me it was a different mushroom. Very inaccurate. After doing some research myself I was able to identify it. But afterwards i got a call from my bank saying Apple was trying to charge me $25 for the “subscription” of this app even though I used it once and deleted it because it didn’t work. I’ve tried to cancel my subscription that I wasn’t even made aware that I would have to pay? If I was aware of this I never would have downloaded it because the app doesn’t work. This app is a scam. Don’t download it.
