Butterfly Id - UK Field Guide

After buying this app you then have to buy another app to use your camera to take photos to identify 😡😡😡😡

Paid 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

Disappointed with this app, no instructions to help users, and far too complicated. I feel like I have wasted the download costs.

For 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.

I 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

This 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.

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

I 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.

Females rarely depicted. Some butterflies only the underside included others the reverse. Not an I.D. guide at all. £3.99 and a could have used the internet for free.

From 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.
