    A geologist says you can't identify minerals and rocks based only on color. The app claimed to do so, but it identified my simple rocks as super rare ones. I used the free service, and it provided information on proper identification and accurate geological data. However, it's not reliable for identifying rocks.

    I think it's great that you can search for your minerals or stones and have multiple choices to select from. You can also assign numbers to them, note their measurements, enter the price you bought them for, mention where you bought them, upload pictures, and save all the information for later. And the best part is you don't have to pay a subscription fee (which I don't). I'm unsure if there's a limit on how many entries you can save, but if there is, I'll include that in my review. Thank you! 😊

    The app is good for popular or basic specimens and recording discoveries. But it struggles with rare samples most of the time. Google Lens is more accurate and it's free. Naming the app "Rock Identifier" doesn't fit well. I forgot to cancel my trial and now only use it for logging finds. Save your money, don't get the paid version.

    They say it's not accurate and super pricey, plus there are no refunds even though they don't do much. But hey, at least you can try it for a bit free with a credit card. Maybe if it was more spot on, and you could add your own rock or mineral, it would be awesome!

    This app is amazing! It's usually right on point. I tried it out on some rocks I already knew the names of, and it got them right every time. Even with the ones I just randomly picked up outdoors, it's correct most of the time. The few times it makes a mistake, it's probably because of how the picture was taken, which can alter the stone's color slightly. Remember to take photos in natural light. I'm new to rock collecting, so this app has been a huge help!

    This app is great for identifying minerals. I enjoy the feature that allows you to save your collection to share with others. However, I don't consider it a complete cataloging tool. I wish there were more options for organizing the collection, as scrolling through many pictures at once can be overwhelming. It would be helpful to have a larger mineral database as well.

    Idea is good but executed poorly. When adding a new picture to your mineral collection, you have to choose them all at once or it deletes them. You have to close the app after each identification, otherwise, it won't take the picture for the next rock. Constant misidentification due to camera flash. Won't pay for it once my trial ends.
