Butterfly Id - UK Field Guide for Negative User Reviews

✓ Low Tech AppI have an app to identify plants from a snap, the same for wine from a photo of the label, so I expected this app to identify butterflies from a photo. Sadly it’s just a photo album in an app, that relies on ‘twenty questions’ to get you the result. After spending £3.99 on the app, I had to post my picture on Facebook to get the answer from friends. It turned out my subject wasn’t on this app anyway, because it was a Jersey Tiger Moth, a day-flying moth that looks like a butterfly. But a moth, and this is a butterfly app..John CanariasVersion: 9.0

✓ More photographs neededThis app just isn’t worth the money. To be of any use you need at least four photos of each butterfly - open and closed wings of both the female and the male. The females are rarely shown and yet they are much more difficult to identify. A distribution map would also be helpful..Blue HollyVersion: 8.9

✓ PoorI thought by paying this money it would be Better than the free Seek app and more accurate, no is the answer, gets the commonest ones worryingly wrong , waste of time and expense, wish I hadn’t bothered, I’d love a refund.Stephen HustwickVersion: 9.1

✓ Wrong and expensiveI don’t know that much about butterflies but I’ve already spotted three mistakes which in a guide to butterflies isn’t exactly w hat you want. There are photos wrongly categorised and butterflies that don’t ever come to this country included. It feels a bit amateurish. The free Butterfly conservation ID app is much better. Free!.HuencryVersion: 8.9

✓ Could be betterNot all the specimens have pictures of them with wings closed. I tried to list a sighting and none of the instructions worked and I ended up going in circles but couldn't list a sighting. I've seen a butterfly that is not listed so I am not sure if the listing is complete. The app doesn't really help users to navigate so, with the comments above, I can't give it top marks..Comatose MarmosetVersion: 8.01

✓ DisappointingI would have expected at least two photos per species,one with open wings and one with closed wings and ideally four, showing male and female variations. This could be much better then it is in fact..Zentrain793Version: 8.9

✓ Promising AppI like the Isoperia apps very much; the photographs are excellent, accompanied by informative text. This app is easy to navigate. I do hope that moths will be added in the not too distant future as, at present, the app appears to be in its early stages..Bubo888Version: 8.01

✓ DisappointedPaid for the in app purchase to be able to take photo to id but no ability to do so that I can find. Have searched everywhere for the option to id from a photo.ScrappygrannyVersion: 9.1

✓ No stars!I have used this app to help identify butterflies, from good photos taken on my iphone. Started my trial with ones I knew already, didn’t get a single one right. Finally took photo of Speckled Wood from the high quality chart we keep at home - app told me it was a Scotch Argus, next choice Blue Pansy!! Good thing it was a cheap App, now deleted.Janie DartmouthVersion: 9.1

✓ Not what I thought it would beFrom reading another review I thought I could take a picture of a butterfly and the app would identify it- I have other apps for birds and flora that do this. But it does not do this, so you need to record all the details and it gives you a list of all the possibilities. So not really what I wanted so beware if you think you can go out, see a butterfly, take a picture and get the app to identify it from the picture..PeterW49Version: 9.0

✓ Not enough photosFor many of the butterflies there are not enough photos. At a minimum for many species you need 4. Male, female, wings open, wings closed. Yesterday I was trying to distinguish chalkhill blues from common blues and there just wasn’t the information. I wished I’d had my book with me..No -name!Version: 9.1

✓ Bait and switchThis app claims to include automatic recognition from photos. Perhaps worth the cost of download? Ah, but for that, you have to pay still more. Save yourself the money and buy a book. This practice shouldn’t be allowed by Apple in its App Store..S01010011S01001010Version: 9.1

✓ Great but not updatedThis is a comprehensive and great app but it has not been updated since October 2014 so my up to date iPhone IOS warns that it may slow my phone down, which it does a bit. Perhaps it could do with some tweaks to sort this out. Otherwise a super app for on a be go identifying...:.CraftymusicmanVersion: 8.01
