Very useful app
Honestly, Bug Alert has saved me so much frustration. If you need a reliable bug identifier that just works without a steep learning curve, this is it. So glad this finally hit the App Store!
Mad
I cancelled my subscription and Apple will not let me download anything cause they say I owe a payment to you when I don’t
Good but utterly useless calling my paper wasp a ant
It’s my first day using this app called my dead honeybee a bee (because it is) called my dead paper wasp a ant and called my dead yellow jacket a wasp(because it it is)
3 out of 3 wrong
Didn’t even get the genus of 3 spiders correct
Great app but too many ads!!!
Great app but too many ads and pop ups!
The ultimate bug identifier app
I’ve been using Bug Alert for a bit now, and it’s completely changed how I track down issues. As a bug identifier, it’s incredibly accurate and sends alerts instantly. It has seriously streamlined my workflow. 5 stars!
AI made it garbage
It used to identify bugs fairly accurately, at least enough to get you started on the right track for manual research. They swapped to an AI model and now it is completely useless. Before updating the app: “moisture ant or possibly sugar ant.” After updating the app: “that’s an ant” “it’s a spider” Absolutely useless.
Bug
Fast/accurate
ok
this app is def not the best bug id app. but it has wayyyy to many adds and for some reason i dont trust some of the analysis’s it makes. so if i were u I would look at reviews before buying it so ur not wasting ur time and energy. so i dont recommend it. at all. pls read this and don’t get.
Generic ID
The app rarely gives a detailed ID. I have tried multiple pictures different angles lighting and backgrounds. The ID returned is non-specific butterfly caterpillar worm spider etc. not really what I was looking for, I knew that going in. On the plus side it does appear to be free unlike most others listed as free that are only free trial.
Say whaaaaaat
Just splendid
Disappointing
Uploaded a picture of a caterpillar I had not seen before. The App correctly identified it as a caterpillar and then showed me an add. It got one star because lower was not an option.
Ads
Great app! I do recommend because this app is completely free, only downside is the ads.
Photos
Won’t let me use my pictures even though I have allowed access
How?????
I put a picture of me and my friend and it said it was a ladybug but the filter was a banana snail?
Bugs b gone
This app is always right on point with identifying whatever photo I share
Wrong & annoying
I tried to identify a bug (I think it’s a type of moth), that I’d never seen before, and the first photo I used, the app said it was a stick insect. It is not. I used a different photo and and the app said it was a dried twig. It not. It can fly. Also, I realize I’m using the free version, but the advertising videos that you’re forced to watch before you get the results of your search are awful!
Good but privacy concerns
This app would not work with limited access to photos. When one photo was selected for access it said restrictions were preventing use.
Bug Identifier
Tried twice on two different insects-both wrong! I’ll use something else.
Idk..
I honestly thought at first i had a spider in my house but it said beetle... also i took a pic of my mole ( dont ask) and it said widow skimmer. I mean, what the heck is that either way?! Don’t recommend if you want a precise answer, but worked.
It has worked well!
I've tried identifying only 2 or 3 bugs so far, but this app has always identified every bug I presented with a picture. So, it has worked well!
Pushing adds
I downloaded it. After I took a picture and after it’s done scanning, an add asked me to download a new QR scanner. 2nd time, after it’s done scanning, another app asked me to download!
Bad!!!!!
I took a picture of a spider and it thought it was a butterfly or dragonfly 😡😤😖😠👿😾!!!!!!!!!
Rubbish
App vanished, so did photo I took. Told me insect resembled a butterfly when it was nothing like
Ok…..
It thinks everything is a Asian lady bug.
Great bug app
Works pretty well. Takes a minute to wait for and get around ads but it’s free so can’t complain.
Terrible Ad Bait
Immediately after scanning it pops up an ad so fast you can’t read any of the information. No way to get rid of the ad, so this is a useless app.
A problem
This app thought a leaf insect was kind of grasshopper
I can’t see the pictures
I can’t see the pictures. My network was smooth.
Quick identification results
I like just being able to take a photo of a bug & know instantly what it is. Having pets you get so many parasites especially in the summer. Nice to find out immediately if I to address them or if it’s just a common bug from the outside.
What happened?
This app used to be quite specific. Lately though it has been terrible. It will scan a butterfly and after 60+ seconds it will identify it as a “butterfly “.
Not very accurate
A fun app if not take too seriously, Bees and Butterflies are its best then leggybugs cause it Problems.
Yfygggjghhjfjffgxdvscbnfcfhkdgbjdhvrstxrxezxexe aasaaaaaa I am done stinky
I am stinky and I love this place
Not even close
My photo is of some kind of skimmer and your app told me it was a butterfly… Way off
Great
This is a very nice app.good for learning about insects and when to stay away from them!
1 out of 10
1 time out of 10 identifies but most of the time it says doesn’t know
Nice to have this info.
Really quick and amazing identification. Hope to subscribe before trial is over. Thanks.
Not working
My app would just stop working even though none of my other apps wore acting up just this app
