I tested it on three pieces of wood that I KNEW what they were (black walnut, maple and oak) and it said that each was Abisa.

Useless

Not sure why this would be helpful to the average user. I didn't mind scrolling through to find a match, but unless you have a macro picture of the wood you are trying to identify, it's kind of useless. I wish there was a similar app but without the macro pictures...just regular pictures of wood. I wouldn't mind scrolling.
