Insect Identifier Reviews

I had some bugs on my rose plant, took some pictures and then i took the bugs put it in a ziplock bag, and i took few photos. one of the photos i took next to a penny, so after i downloaded InsectIdentifier , i used it to take a picture, now it does have an area of focus, so i made sure the bug is ... Show more in that area and in focus, i took the picture, and it took only the penny part, AI my @#$&#$ , and it identified it as a red bug. since InsectIdentifier has an option to use already taken pictures, i tried (mind u that is the second attempt), it would not identify and it want to upgrade, otherwise it is as if i have done nothing. i tried few times and same , so I deleted it. waste of time. don't bother

I tried to see what type of grasshopper I found was. I entered the picture and it told me it was a Honey Bee. I then deleted InsectIdentifier .

I agree with most others who say it doesn’t work in insects. I tried several different insects and it didn’t make one correct identification, even after 3 attempts.

And as an aside, I know spiders are arachnids, but as an app user/app purchaser, if you’re trying to quickly figure out what k... Show more ind of little “bug-like” creature you have in front of you, especially when you don’t know if it’s dangerous or not, various spiders should be included. This last piece is completely my personal opinion, and any developer can choose to make their app how they want it but I wished I would’ve made the distinction before I downloaded InsectIdentifier.

Dang it, now I lost the spider I was trying to identify (before I started writing this review) and don’t know where he went!!

Very disappointing that InsectIdentifier couldn’t accurately identify a bedbug.
Cancelled subscription to InsectIdentifier.

Had wasp kept stinging me when I did it kept saying mentis wouldn't recommend

I have been billed 9 times since signing up for InsectIdentifier on August 2 thru October 5 in the amount of $2.99. I want to cancel app and get a refund of what was over charged. Please contact me. Thank you.

Don’t waste your time. This doesn’t work. Had a close up of a small beetle, said it was a bee. Took a photo of my coffee table, said it was a lady bug, then another time, a bee.

Tried to identify an insect. App called it wasp which it clearly wasn’t. When I tried to retake photo it wanted me to pay for app. Useless and NOT free.

I tried several times with a picture that I think is termites and it comes back as a bumblebee

Doesn't work at after update.

Identified what looked like a locust as a ladybug.

And all of a sudden my junk mail increased. (By chance or by lack of security?)

I deleted it.

Hopefully the developer keeps improving InsectIdentifier and gets more users as a result.

Ishowed a clear picture of a garden spider and the program identified it as a moisquito

On a blurry picture, it called my red stag beetle a monarch butterfly. I got it on a better picture and then it called it a Carolina grasshopper. We live in Alabama. this so-called app charges you real money for an app that doesn’t even work. I agree with some of the first ratings of it, calling a ... Show more spider, a wasp and other insects completely different things. I completely understand if you mixed up species, but not entirely different animals.

First misidentified the bug, then required payment for more attempts. “Free”…. You tricked me

have it a picture of a spider, returned with a result of a six-legged bug. the ai is incredibly poor in InsectIdentifier

But I like it

Kept telling me a Giant Ichneumon Wasp was a mud dauber

InsectIdentifier is a great idea but it would need some serious work, I started by scanning a photo of a mound ant (Formica exsectoides) and it thought it was a type of wasp, I get that that could happen as they are somewhat related, however after more trials with different insects it never got an... Show more ything right, and most of the time it just labeled things as a type of wasp, it even thought an American cockroach was a ground wasp. Overall I think this is a great idea for an app but until it’s more reliable as a tool to identify things then I would not recommend it.

After downloading InsectIdentifier I tried to identify 2 insects. One was wrong and the other might have been right but unless you subscribe it doesn’t let you look at the results and provides nothing other than the insect name.

Uploaded a pic of a caterpillar and instantly got an answer. WOW. So far I really like InsectIdentifier.

I’ve spent 5 minutes looking for an insect finder that didn’t cost money and I came across this which gave the answers I needed!

This took 1/2 a second to get the info I was looking for about this HUUUUGE BEE inside my house and it’s time for bed. I’m not having that thing sting me while I’m asleep! Thank you for being so quick with your scanner!

It thought my dead Red Imported Fire Ant Queen was a butterfly/wasp

Got to know and distinguish dozen of types of worms in my garden

It got right the first time I tested InsectIdentifier with a monarch. Then I tried again with a ladybug and it gave me a very accurate result down to the species level🐞 🐞 🐞!!

Super great app! Not needed very much so subscriptions are not something I would purchase but on the rare occasion that bug identifying is needed this is a great resource.
Thank you for not charging for this helpful service .
Senior on fixed low income and this free app is wonderful!!
