This app used to be great. Now it's terrible. It only IDs about 40% of the time, if that. It crashes all the time, the camera doesn't focus, the camera freezes, it doesn't ID past the genus, and it fails to identify even the most basic and common of plants. Also it constantly crashes. I'd give it less then 1 star in it's current state. Sad. It was a good solid 4 a couple years ago

It's not perfect, but it works pretty well to identify plants and animals. It's good with distinct features like flowers, but not so good at identifying plants from leaves, bark, etc. It can also be hard to find the right zoom level to use. Still, you have to expect that from ML systems. It's very impressive, and a lot of fun when you're out in nature.

Not a bad app for identifying plants, insects, and other wildlife, but my experience with the latest version has been less than stellar: the camera functions in the latest version of the app are incredibly laggy compared to previous ones, and it hangs when I try to take a picture.

This app used to be pretty good... anymore, though, it rarely can identify anything, and sometimes (I'll do this just to it's identification) it will give me different species using virtually the same shot angle of a plant or animal. Once, I had the seek camera open and it snapped a photo of someone's legs and labled it as an alpaca 🤣... that's still quite the joke among us to this day! I'd say this app has maybe a 40-45% accuracy rate when it actually gives an identification.

Edit: It never identifies anything anymore. It was good at first. The overall app is good. It's easy to navigate, and it seems to work pretty well most of the time. The camera is the worst part. 7/10 times it won't identify what I'm looking at, but gets stuck at family or genus. If the camera quality were a little better and it could ID quicker, it would definitely get another star or two.

this app is awesome, its like having a Poke-dex but for real animals and plants! so much fun to use, and i finally get to know the names of the species in the area ive always seen, but never been able to identify. I had to change to 3 stars however, because I frequently scan species and get a mis identification. You need to add a "flag this ID for review" or something like that for when we don't feel the identification is accurate.

It's great for identifying, but sometimes it takes a few seconds to get the picture, I would just stand there pointing the phone at a cat or lizard... It's awful when fast insects are involved... I don't have a professional camera :/ (I like the challanges though). PS: The app appears to be... Horrible... When identifying fishes, but there are no ads! So I guess I'll give it a 5-star review! Edit: I've ed the app again, it doesn't seem to even attempt to identify the creatures I picture

It's a great idea, and when the camera is able to focus it's really cool! Unfortunately the in-app camera only wants to focus in the background, not the object, which is really frustrating. I haven't gotten many pictures because whatever I'm trying to focus on is so blurry. I think a way to tap the screen and focus the camera manually would make the app much more usable.
