Doesn't really tell much about identifying the insect! When I asked it questions it told me to go online? Something I'd already done before trying this app! And Doesn't really say how to get rid of them, like what works, specifically for the type of insect. Very disappointing app, especially for the price! My advice don't pay for this app! Didn't tell me anything I didn't already know!

Probably the best insect ID app ive found so far. Way better than Seek or iNaturalist, in my opinion. IDs, for the most part, are dead on. Very user friendly and intuitive, and the amount of info you get from the free version is awesome. If they could integrate ID "games" like insect scavenger hunts, seasonal challenges, and completion badges like Seek does, it would put this app leagues above the rest.

app worked great identifying the bug I was looking at. The app was a 7 day free trial. After I used it for one day, I tried to cancel it but I kept getting an error message or try again later. It said it would be $1.50 if I didnt cancel , so I just gave up. After 7 days I was charged $29.99. Im still unable to dispute the charge.
