Downloaded it November 2023 1. The longer you use it slower the results pop up. Sometime they never show & you're stuck on the loading screen. 2. Sometimes after an image it taken you never get the results and you are sent back to the home screen. Happened today & haven't been able to fix it. 3. You can't upload multiple pics of the same bug at a time to ID it. Only use 1 image and results are 50/50 with accuracy 4. I wish it would save your pictures upload history. 5. Crashes way too often.

Thank you for the feedback. We have made some performance upgrades so that it runs faster on Android. We've also updated the vision model so make sure to download the latest update from Google Play to avoid crashes. Feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions or further feedback. Thank you for using BeeMachine!

Downloaded this app on an android phone a couple of weeks ago. The "Take a picture" never worked, but I was okay with that, as I would just take a photo with my phone camera app, then use the "Select an Image" choice. The app worked great for a couple of weeks, but now "Select an Image" doesn't work either. It starts the "Returning prediction" part, and then stops and doesn't return anything. I have tried booting my android phone, uninstalling the app, and reinstalling it, to no avail.

having been using this app for some time, I suddenly cannot use it because it insists on a nickname and whatever I enter comes back as, "that nickname is already taken". It's broken.
