Bug ID Reviews

Despite its claim, you cannot use app without purchasing a subscription.

Changes the results with each scan. Misleading information. Always says the picture is too blurry. Very picky. When you come across an insect it’s not always possible to get the best photo. Improve BugID because I will be deleting in the meantime.

If you Google search your image… it won’t charge you!

Do not download or use unless you plan to pay the subscription. Free trial is not real.

This is not free. I accidentally paid for a year. Not only that—it doesn’t even tell you if it’s poisonous or not.

I got this to figure out what’s in my shower that keeps popping up, I took three pictures of the same bug one after another and got three different result. Now this would be acceptable if BugID says it wasn’t sure but with each try it had it listed as over 90% accuracy. With one bug, and three completely different guesses, they can’t all be 90-95% accuracy. It just gave me 3 different small brown bugs. I already knew that. The first one it said was “ant” I know that a freaking ant looks like, it was not an ant. Useless for my needs

BugID works ok, but I don’t need it. There’s no way to cancel the subscription! I have three days. An honest vender would make that possible.

Spider didn’t show up in your list of options and I couldn’t find a place to input descriptors

Poor user interface. And it’s really not free — a subscription fee kicks in after 3 day trial and there’s no clear and easy way to cancel the trial. Bad, bad, bad.

Some fire ant sized insect fell on me from AC vent; it was dark red with some coloration on the body. took pictures on white counters. Pictures too blurry for ID

Try to take picture inside app, no zoom. How can an app id a 1/4” object with no zoom?

Good thing BugID has 3-day trial. Deleting and canceling

BugID is not free as advertised only free to down load bu cost to use

I was able to take 2 pictures/ 2 ids with BugID (they were accurately identified at least) before a payment plan started popping up every time I take a photo. When I close off of it, it deletes the picture I’ve taken. It is not a free ID app as advertised, which I understand is sometimes necessary, but the kicker is deleting my photos and constant pop ups.

Many photos you will take will not be recognized or it will be misidentified. Even searching them by name doesn’t always work, Nor will photos from camera roll “image is too small”

My child needed to make a project about insects, which was quite challenging for me since I'm afraid of insects and know very little about them. Another mom from school suggested trying the Bug ID app, as it not only identifies insects but also provides detailed information about them. The biggest advantage of BugID is its clear and user-friendly interface. I used it to identify a few insects in our yard with my son, and then he was able to finish the task on his own. The insect descriptions are incredibly thorough, resembling a real encyclopedia. They cover everything from appearance and distribution to their impact on other organisms. BugID has been a true blessing for us!

Super easy to use and helps me ID bugs FAST. I can save my finds in collections—perfect for my bio class and hiking adventures. Love how it tells me if bugs are harmless. Deets on insects make BugID LIT!

As an entomology student, Bug ID really makes it easier to complete my tasks! The identification is very accurate, and the descriptions are useful even for me. I also like the collections feature; it's very convenient to save insects from different places that I need to explore.

I've been using Bug ID for some time now, and it's pretty great. BugID is a breeze to use, making it a snap to identify any insect I find. It’s very convenient to store my discoveries in collections, which is perfect for my entomology studies and research. But even if you’re not that into bugs, I think it’ll come in handy for anyone who has a garden or just worried if any insect can be harmful or dangerous. So yeah, I recommend it for anyone interested in entomology like me or just curious about the creepy crawlies around them!

Bug ID is so fast! I took a pic of this creepy-crawly and within seconds it told me it was a black widow spider. Scary! but good to know. BugID even showed me what to do if I see one again. It's like having a bug expert in my pocket. I love how easy it is to use. Just snap a photo and you get all this cool info about the bug. My kids love playing bug detective with it too. We're learning so much about insects now. One thing though - sometimes it gets confused if the bug isn't fully in focus. But overall, BugID is awesome.

You don’t even know how stressed I was before getting BugID😫
I live in an area with a rich insect life, which really freaks me out as a pet owner. I’m always scared my cat may be in danger because of an accidentally swallowed spider or god forbid any toxic bug. That’s why I needed an app that would help me identify bugs 100% accurately and tell me if they’re cat safe. 😊🤌
Thanks to Bug ID, I don’t have to spend hours on google trying to match the bug I saw in the kitchen with the photos on the internet. BugID tells me all I need to know about the insects around me, which I’m 100% satisfied with🔝🔝🔝

I recently moved to a house not far from the forest. Unfortunately, along with the fresh air and bird songs, my house also got filled with insects. I don’t feel good about killing them, so my friend advised me to download an app that identifies insects and even tells if they benefit people. I’ve lived for 30 years and didn’t know that insects can be good for people lol. I downloaded a few apps, and honestly, Bug ID is my favorite. The insect descriptions are really detailed, covering everything you might want to know. I especially like that BugID indicates whether each insect is harmful to people, animals, plants, or other insects. For instance, I found a frightening and ugly (sorry) centipede, and it turned out it’s very useful for a house because it eats mosquitoes. Now, I look at it and comfort myself that it’s good, and it doesn’t look so bad anymore. So, BugID is great! I recommend it to everyone who is looking for a way to coexist with insects!
