The Mushroom Book for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not for identifying edible fungiA pretty app if you like looking at pictures, but do NOT use it to identify mushrooms if you intend to eat them. There are several inaccuracies that could lead to a nasty mistake. The information section also has factual errors. There are poisonous mushrooms with pores, for example, and others that will give you serious digestive challenges. So do not use this as an edibility guide or as a guide to identifying fungi without using a reliable backup source. Otherwise works well, no crashes..MowildeVersion: 2.0.3

✓ Umm. NoWaste of time .. glitchy and awkward. Do not even download.MizzzmonroeVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Useless appIf this app was complete it might be useful but as is the only useful part of the app is the disclaimer that wild mushrooms can make you sick! The identification portion yields zero results no matter the combinations applied. The browse section only has a handful of mushrooms identified. Save your tablet/phone memory don't download!.24235Version: 1.0.4

✓ TerribleThis app is terrible. The UX is about the worst I’ve seen in any app. I have no idea what each “button” (graphic) does. I went through the identification “process” only to discover that there is no identification process. Select some features (cap shape, etc) and then...nothing. No “submit” button, no results, no nothing. Deleted..Scott RouseVersion: 2.2.3

✓ Worst download yetThis is the first 1 star rating I've given. So few mushrooms are included and even those have little information about them..That's not my minkyVersion: 1.0.4

✓ Need improve on more photos.Not so many step of mushroom age photos hard to verify and identified them..Mae PlaVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Crappy at bestVery poor photos, not many. Don't waste your time with this app..SimonsrfVersion: 2.1

✓ Not worth it!This app is completely useless, don't bother downloading..BlessingeVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Pretty uselessThis might give you a general idea of what your mushroom might be.J1235567788765433Version: 2.2.1

✓ Not good updateNew update brings blurry pages. Also, need to update with more variety of mushrooms. Maybe add region where each type of mushrooms grow. A video link to each mushrooms would be nice touch. Something that would give user more access to information on each mushrooms..!EVersion: 2.0.3

✓ ScamWhen you try to use the app it blocks the descriptions until you pay more money. Rubbish app, don't download.HanHarrierVersion: 1.1.2

✓ MisinformationThe pictures are not always accurate. Hunters beware..Hickory mccluckensVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Waste of SpaceDeceitful. They don't mention almost all require an in-app purchase. Only 1 picture for each. Pretty much garbage..Botanical3Version: 1.0

✓ Limited Results, not helpfulI downloaded this app while mushroom hunting hoping it would replace the book I had left at home and found that none of the mushrooms I was trying to identify were listed in this app. Upon further review this app does not have very many options for identification. The app is pretty and potentially user friendly but without the useful information it's worthless. Don't download until its contents are complete.BekkahButtonsVersion: 1.0.4

✓ Waste of moneyThere is a feature where you can specify gill, stem type and location found etc and do a search to identify mushroom. Tried it several times with different configurations (common fungi I had found) and got 'no results'. Spend your money on something that works..SmeggerssVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Cute like a children's book, hardly usefulIt's got a few dozen bios of mushrooms, but not much useful info on them. My 8 year old self would have loved the interface and concept, but for an adult who is trying to find a resourceful app, move on..Abby SomeoneVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Need to pay to see anythingNot really free..This Nickname is taken, please choose another.Version: 2.1

✓ Don't waist your timeThis app is crap it's a lite version. Don't waist your time.Cheap BobVersion: 1.0.2

✓ Chet hd28Overall not real impressed kind of limited information.Chethd28Version: 1.0.4

✓ PoorVery few mushrooms and a very limited look up or search engine.LstairsVersion: 2.2.3

✓ Why are your photos messed up?!You have over 20 mushrooms with the same photographs! When switching between species, the photos glitch and revert to the same purple mushroom. This could kill someone. You need to correct this!.JonboynloveVersion: 2.2.2

✓ NOT AVAILABLE???I bought and used this app successfully for a while but now half the book is blurred out with NOT AVAILABLE written across it. Anyone else had this issue?.Wannabe Mushroom eaterVersion: 1.1.1

✓ UselessDon't waste time on this app - useless 100%.The HandlaVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Missing an entire genusJust skimming the app, i couldn't read info on most of the shrooms i wanted to because they are locked For some reason, these are organized by their common name (common morel?). And finally, the entire psilocybe genus is missing I mean come on, i know they're a taboo subject, but they are some of the most important of all mycology. Deleting after i write this, as a simple google search will yield far superior info than what this app has to offer..XgfdgfdgVersion: 1.1.3

✓ The app is unusableHow did this even make it into the app store, its complete garbage..MateoDVersion: 1.1.3

✓ NopeYou can browse by truncated list of mushroom names, or by confusing and seemingly broken multiple-choice drawings. Also there are full page, wait-5-seconds ads..Coty CondryVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Good art, but very lackingIt is a nice concept and good art, but lacks a big database and variation-selection.AdamBernardVersion: 1.1.3

✓ ClunkyFeels clunky and confusing.MannymanimalVersion: 2.2.1
