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.

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.

I tried maple kitchen cabinets, 100 year old oak furniture, stainless steel, and granite. Apparently everything is Abisa. Utterly useless

The poor whiners who may have to actually apply themselves and learn something potentially valuble, with a practical reference tool in hand, in the event that instant gratification is no longer accessible with the push of a button. Logically, Darwinism, etc...

There are too many dots on the pictures to make a comparison.

The app should actually identify the wood. Making a distinction between woods is difficult.
