This is the most fraudulent app I have EVER SEEN!! First, it did not work at all as advertisde. Then they FALSELY claimed the I could cancel BEFORE the 7-day trial was up! This was not true, the app subscription showed BUT No cancel button. I notified Google through many emails and screenshots! They did Nothing to fix! They charged me and refused to refund the money they STOLE from their false "7-Day Trial". Downloader Beware! Response to Developer: STILL NO REVERSAL OR REFUND.

This app worked well for me however, I'm giving it 4 stars because it was free when I downloaded it. To my surprise, the last time I tried to use it, they wanted to charge me a subscription fee. Sorry, but that's a bait & switch as far as I'm concerned. It was free for several years, now all of a sudden they want me to pay for it? Nope. I won't. At least should stay free for the people who have had the app for years. I will be uninstalling.

AWESOME, but lacks crucial identifying information: Distribution range & distinguishing features between species/variants. I have to search elsewhere for this info to confirm the right match. It harms the auto-recognition when the AI is trained on incorrect results, but there's just not the required info to always know which is correct! Without distribution info at a MINIMUM, one can easily pick one not even present in the country or region. It'd actually be worth paying if this were added!
