Rock Identifier: Stone ID Customer Service

Needs more rocks in database that it can identify. There are some obscure ones but it seems to always choose the same ones. Also, I have put in probably 300 name suggestions to add, going through those more and adding more would be very appreciated. It is great for cataloging. Oh, and when I search my catalog, can you make it to where it searches all the words, the description, locale, everything. It shouldn’t be that hard to adjust. Especially when the name isn’t in system and I have to save it under something else, I put the right name in description and want to be able to find it again. Or search by locale or other things. I am probably the user who uses your app the most if you can look and see. I use it daily. So these improvements would make my life so much better! Thank you! Edit: the new update has a lot of great stuff I'm only starting to get to know. However, it is now missing on e of my favorite features. The top three possibility options to look through. It is often one of the others and if it isn't, I always still look to see what it shows and am able to learn about different habits and colors and things I may not have been aware of. When I search now, the top result is all that shows. I see that if I click to change result, it will give the names of the other two but not that I can browse through before selecting and changing the result. Thank you guys so much for all the changes over the years. Still your #1 user guaranteed! Much love!

I 100% ADORE the app and think that is wonderful. The only option I am getting for a premium subscription is the annual plan. The app to store it shows that there is a monthly plan available. I plan to upgrade to the annual plan, for the moment a monthly plan fits a better with my dwindling disposal income this month. I’d love to be able to access all of the premium features for a monthly rate until I can upgrade to the annual plan in a few weeks. I have gone to faq/help in the app, on your website, and pretty much tried every way under the sun (I know slightly dramatic, lol) yet I can’t find a way to access that option. Have I missed something somewhere? Could the app developer please point me in the right direction? I’d super appreciate it 😊 As I have already gone a bit long with this review, I won't go into a lot of detail, but I highly recommend this app. I have tried about five rock/gem/crystal Identifiers so far & this one is hands down the most accurate, informative & the UI is far less confusing. I have been totally impressed! Update (5 mins later) So my brain kicked in & I went to the expired trial in my subscriptions & went to view all plans. My apologies for making those that read this suffer through my confusion above. I still wanted to leave the praise, but pressed for time at the moment, I’m not able to edit out my subscription location struggle. Thanks for the app!

I’m a collector of crystals, so an app that allows you to simply photograph a stone & then identifies it for you is like a dream come true. While there is definitely room for improvement, it seems the developers of the app are well aware of this, encouraging the user to participate in this process, which I appreciate. I’d love to see a few things, such as: 1) the ability to print out ones rock /crystal collection, (ie I have 70 stones in my collection in the app, so a visual color chart that allows one to include your original photos and the name & main properties of each rock) I think would be super exciting, instead of just downloading other people’s charts of “the most important stones” since this is ultimately subjective and could be very creative. 2) the ability to add text to one’s personal collection. For instance, if I could, I’d write my own metaphysical associations and/or properties of the stones, & how I use the stone in my own life/work. While there is currently a plethora of source material in this realm, to combine the ability to identify & create one’s own personal, experiential source material via photograph and then recorded uses, metaphysical properties etc. would make this app an essential tool in one’s own process of discovery and learning.

I’ve been a rock collector for so long and have been looking for a good app that I can trust. And this app is really accurate!. Before I got this app I used to ask my dad which rocks they were and he’d help me the best he could, But I was always thinking is this actually that rock,How rare is it?,would someone buy it and I could make money? I’m so happy I found this app it answers all my thoughts and questions. And I may only be 15 years old but I am planning on searching for more rare rocks and crystals!. But before it showed me to add to my favorites and now I can’t. And I don’t know if it will stay that way and if it’s the apps fault or if it’s because of my phone but if you know if it’s the app please fix it and maybe add some more books we can buy to help with rocks and crystals. I’ve been thinking about buying some and it might be more helpful for your downloaders to search more and it could also be more helpful for you guys too, You see if there’s more options and books with more and different information about rocks and crystals then more people would probably buy them. Just think about it. Also sorry for this being so long. (Just trying to help.) Have a good day.

Hello Picture Rock! I’m Brayden a rock collector and I love science! Anyways, my favorite mineral type in geology is Calcedony. Which means my favorite mineral is Quartz. I love the chalcedony varieties! I know one of them is Sardonyx, so I searched in the search bar on your homepage and found Carnelian instead of Sard or Sardonyx, after that I got a bit confused with my urge to study and collect quartz. So I did researched about why it said that the red Carnelian was the same rock as Sardonyx. I found a page that talked about Sardonyx and Carnelian… It said that Sardonyx is made of the same compositions as Sard and Onyx which is why it’s called “Sard-onyx” its like both Sard and Onyx combined even though it’s its own variety. It also said that Sard is often confused with Carnelian, and Onyx is confused with Aragonite (not quartz). So it said that they confuse Sard with Carnelian, so that must mean that they confuse Sardonyx with Carnelian too because Sardonyx has the composition of Sard in it. So please separate Sardonyx from Carnelian. So make a Page about Sard and Sardonyx so they can add them to people’s collections! Have a nice time! Happy Geology!!! Greetings and happiness: Brayden Types of Quartz underneath | V

I’m a native of the Big Sky State of Montana. And with our world in the process of changing comes natural disasters, unfortunately. In our final months of summer the heat index was high enough to cause severe flooding across much of our upper elevations. And in my line of business,an experienced Concrete Construction Contractor for over 30 years has made me somewhat of a “Rock Hound” and definitely an avid Gemstone and Raw mineral stones collector. Very confident in my skill set to recognize Precious Raw Stones your “Rock Identifier App” is very accurate and has made my hobby more enjoyable knowing I have a very valuable collection. Not only did it correct a very crucial error or should I say mis-evaluation on a stone I thought was some kind of a Clear Quartz or Sea Glass turned out to be a 153.7 carat Raw Diamond that had been washed out of its original resting place, thousands of years before it was actually pushed out by the natural forces of the Earth. After a few different opinions it’s estimated to be worth in the seven figures area which is life changing! I’m the biggest skeptic I know so for me to give this “Rock Identifier App” a HUGE shoutout it’s definitely worth it! #rawinthe406 #yellowstones

As others have noted, I love this app almost more than any other app on my phone. I have over 1000 stones cataloged in this app. The app continues to improve the identification of stones, and I appreciate that it is learning as time goes on. I would really appreciate if they would add a few more Synergy 12 Stones to their identification - for example,Phenacite. The only real concern I have is that I have all my stones here and I have used this as my inventory. I would love a way to be able to download my inventory so that I can save it and or print it, as I am worried that something could happen and I would lose my entire inventory. Also, if there was an easy way to categorize the stones instead of just by date. Perhaps there is a way to do that that I don’t know. Otherwise, I think it’s the best rock and gemstone identifier out there. The ability to just take a picture of your stone have a catalog is incredible. I also appreciate the new tabs to read about properties of the stone as well. Keep up the good work -I really appreciate it. If anyone is considering downloading this app, and/or subscribing please don’t hesitate. It’s awesome.

I’ve had so many rocks and crystals either found or given to me and I never remember what I have. but this is actually so accurate and it not only identifies the rock, but also tells you what group it’s a part of, what it’s also known as, basic info, key facts such as composition, hardness, magnetism, and density, its description, frequently asked questions about them, how to identify it, physical properties like the crystal system, colors, luster, diaphaneity, streaks, tenacity, cleavage, and fracture, chemical properties such as its chemical classification, formula, and elements, what it’s typically used for, its value, its price depending on size, how to select when purchasing, its durability by scratch resistance, toughness, and stability, care tips, healing properties, qualities, chakras, its elemental alignment, how to cleanse and charge, where to place it, and what other rocks it works with. so not only is it scientific, but also spiritual, and if you’re not, the app gives you the opportunity to not see the spiritual content. it’s just a really cool app for someone like me that wants to know what random little things i have or pick up

I’ve downloaded and used nearly ever app available on google and apple trying to find something that works this well and accurate. Do all my rocks get properly identified…no,however, I’m also not a geologist so maybe there’s a few I’m wrong about. This app gives multiple choices to run through and info about those choices. I’ve not used another app that’s as accurate or pristine. My only issue with this app is the astronomical price combined with no feed to speak to others about what you have or help identifying in a way that a computer can’t pick up. I know I will be canceling my membership shortly because I can be paying this much for a visual collects and identification to only use a few times a month but that app it’s self is total great. I think 12$ a month would be pushing it but that’s the most I’d be willing to pay month to month. Try this app for at least a month if you are a rock hound or trying to boost your knowledge. It’s pretty good and easy to use.

Listen, NO APP EVER will accurately identify 100% of the time, but this one… I have had the premium version for 2 years and it has more than paid for itself. You need to take a focused photo in decent light. Otherwise, it just doesn’t have enough to work with. That’s so easy though! I find that the photos with best results are taken in natural sunlight with minimum shadows, and with the specimen resting on a stationary surface, not in your hand. Also keep in mind that the best side of a rock to photograph is not necessarily the “prettiest” side, but the one with most detail. When I take the extra few seconds to get the right photo, I get a positive ID from this app almost always. And I like how there are other suggestions for ID listed in order of certainty. And I love how the premium version allows me to keep record of my collection in a log with my own photos that are labeled with ID and all accompanying information, plus examples of other specimens like it.

Update: The app has improved a ton since my original review so I am updating this to 5 stars. It’s been really on the money lately. The auto color change is gone (yay) and the accuracy has really gone up. Love to see it. ——— Original review: I have this company’s plant app, which is amazing, so I have high hopes that this will eventually gets to where it need to be but so far Rock ID leaves a bit to be desired. The results so far have been pretty iffy. Probably gets it right about 60% of the time but I e had to adjust a few times for stones that look very similar. Some it could not even find. I think crystals in general are tougher than plants because they don’t have as many unique identifiers. And with phone photos two pinks stones are gonna look like rose quartz. I’m using this more to keep track of my collection than I’d unknown stones because wit just hasn’t been reliable enough for the more obscure stones or colors / shapes. Also recently the app has been changing the color of my stones as I take a picture?? The nice background free edit the app does automatically also adjusts the color to match the stones typical coloration but that’s not the stone I have. It turned my teal adventurine tower into a typical green color. I don’t want that and would love for this feature to be optional. I guess it’s assuming the photos are bad / incorrect but that’s not always the case. Anyway - hoping this improves with time and more data input

No, this game does not have any ads and if you take a picture of a rock, it will tell you what kind of rock it is and everything about it. It is free to play no Wi-Fi required but if you take a picture of you know it's not a rock but if you take a picture of it anyways, it'll identify it is not a rock, but if you take a picture of rocket, I'll tell you if it's a diamond crystal or rock or a rock stone or sandstone, but this is a really cool app and you can add rocks to your collection and download them you can discover mini mini rock so different kinds. It'll tell you the hardness of what it's made of and if it's uncommon or rare or found all over the US or all over the world but get this game today. It is a really fun and cool game. I have 1000 rocks in my collection so far yes there are in app purchases but I don't need to put in any purchases is because I have all that I need click below and download today rock identifier.

This has become one of my most used apps! This is one of the only subscriptions I kept after a big purge to save money. It’s worth every penny if you are regularly wanting to identify stones and/or keep tabs on what is in your collection. I would also recommend this app (even just subbing for a month) when going on vacation anywhere where there are a lot of rocks like when camping, at a river, etc. It can be a fun family activity where everyone finds the coolest rocks and then you get to identify them! Great fun for families or enthusiasts. I have found it to be extremely accurate, except in certain instances. Sometimes if you acquire a unique variation, you may have to help it out and correct the name, but even when trying to identify stones, it can at least point you in the right direction and help to confirm or narrow down identification. I have had some stones that each side you photograph will give you a new identification, but you can take those suggestions and either do a Google image search or I sometimes search Etsy listings that can give you a better idea of what you have. It does seem to struggle over solid black stones which is to be expected. Anyway, you definitely can’t go wrong with this app and you won’t regret purchasing the premium edition either.

As someone who hikes often and enjoys outdoor activities, one of my favorite things to do is stop and admire different rocks. Recently, I found a rock that looked really interesting, and my curiosity led me to research what it was. That’s when I discovered this app. At first, I was hesitant—I expected it to be a low-quality app with limited usefulness—but it has far exceeded my expectations. The app offers detailed literature, identifiers, and even price points for crystals if you’re interested in collecting and possibly selling them. Memberships are affordable: about $3 per week, with monthly and quarterly options as well. I originally chose the yearly subscription but decided to reduce it to a three-month plan while I’m on the free trial. The only reason is personal—I know I can go through long stretches without actively rockhounding, and I don’t want to pay for time I’m not using. That said, I’m committed to growing in this hobby, and I see this app as a great way to stay engaged, active, and excited about finding new specimens. If you’re new to rockhounding, this app is an excellent starting point. If you’re more experienced, the collection feature will help you stay organized and expand your knowledge. Honestly, I wish there were apps like this for other hobbies—it’s that good.

I’ve been trying to get into witchcraft lately and i’ve loved finding out the healing properties of different stones. i have some red agate, but i couldn’t find it on the app. i have realized some of my stones were on the app, but didn’t have the tab of “healing properties”. (the stones are garnet and tiger’s eye) i’m not sure if this just means they don’t have healing properties, or if the app just doesn’t have the info. i’ve tried to test the app and see if it would pick up the stones as what they actually are, but it was incorrect. my stones are really tiny, like grains of rice, so it might just be the size. other than that, i collect rocks and it’s great to know what they are and if they have any healing properties. however, i do have a suggestion. i cleanse my crystals with moon/sun water and it would be great to know if my newer crystals can be in water or not.

It was SUPER fun but I had some problems with getting the free 7 day trial. It was cool at first but when I opened the app and took a photo, I wanted to take more so I took another one. Then I found out that you can find out how much money the rock is worth, so I was like 🤑🤑🤑. I tried to take another photo but then it didn’t let me. Turns out you only get 2 pictures a day. I was super bummed but I waited anyway. Despite the 2 photos I wanted to have more so I did the free trial. But when I pressed it, it said that the “ purchase “ had failed! My parents turned off parental permission on my phone and it still didn’t work. But in conclusion, the app is pretty cool. Some bugs or unfair amounts of photos. I really like this app when it DOES work and hope the people who make tech changes to this app could take this too thought and possibly fix it. If it is something with MY phone then please tell me 😁😘

I’m so glad I came upon the Rock Identifier Stone ID app. I am a diehard Rockhounder - for many years. But that doesn’t mean I know all the rocks. When I found this app, I tried the free trial and was blown away with how much it helped me. With this app, you not only Identify rocks and minerals, you also have space to collect photos of these beautiful gems and rocks in your account. You are often given several options with photos for your rock ID if it is an unusual or not easily identified specimen. And you get to share your photos and collection with others who also share theirs. This allows you to you see many forms of a specific stone such as smooth or druzy or fractured. That is incredibly helpful because most rocks have many varying colors and conditions. You can’t go wrong with this app. It is truly excellent.

Ah, I see! Let me put my rock hound hat on and provide a review of the rock identification app for you: --- Review of Rock Identification App: As a passionate rock hound, I have thoroughly enjoyed using this rock identification app to delve deeper into the world of geology and mineralogy. The app's user-friendly interface and accurate identification algorithms have made it a valuable tool in my rockhounding adventures. One of the standout features of this app is its extensive database of rocks and minerals, which has helped me identify a wide variety of specimens with ease. The app provides detailed information about each rock type, including its characteristics, formation process, and common locations where it can be found. Moreover, the app's geolocation feature has been incredibly useful in pinpointing known sites for specific rocks, allowing me to plan my rockhounding trips more efficiently. The ability to access information about artifacts and antiques associated with certain rocks has added an extra layer of fascination to my explorations. Overall, this rock identification app has greatly enhanced my rockhounding experience and deepened my understanding of the geological world around me. I would highly recommend it to fellow rock enthusiasts, beginners, and experts alike. Sincerely, Michael Lance Addison

I just did 5 star so I could get to the top of the reviews so people could see this anyway, you can only do 2 rock pics per day and my sister likes to collect rocks a lot and so every time she gets like 3-5 rocks then you can’t even do 3 rock pics you can only get 2. Also when I try to do the 7 day free trial it won’t even let me click it😡. The only thing I like about the game is that when you pay for the premium then you don’t have to pay for it again it’s like no auto-renewal fees. So I don’t totally recommend this game but it’s kind of good. Thank you for taking time to read my review and please developer fix this game I know you want money but people will only pay for your game if it’s actually worth paying. Again thank you for reading this. PEACE ✌️!!!!!

I first ran across the Rock Identifier app and had a trial.… Probably 30 days… And when it came time to let it go or subscribe I let it go thinking that I wouldn’t need it very much… As I went on I realize that I was definitely going to use this app and it had a reasonable price tag for a year… It has never steered me wrong. it has always been accurate and if it’s in doubt it gives you other options that it might be. I really can’t say enough about it. It’s definitely worth of money and in comparison to what other rocket identifiers gave you it is equivalent of three apps in one, a stone identifier a crystal identifier and properties for healing… Probably more than three but I know that I don’t have to subscribe to anything else since I’ve had it thanks very much Charlotte PNW

I am hard to please, and love gaining knowledge, especially in things like science and geology, and similar topics. I am very thoroughly impressed with this app. My new all time favorite app Ever! So much information! My only concerns are these: I may get so into rocks that I forget about everything else, which could be a serious problem, as I think I’m already addicted! And, I’m worried about the possibility that my brain might explode! But now I have a one-stop shop for all things rock! No, YOU rock, Rock Identifier! Sorry, I also love puns! lol Keep up the amazing work you do with this amazing app! Thank you for moving my hobby up a few notches! I will remain forever grateful for your app and those behind it, that’s an impressive team! 👍🏼👍🏼 …Way up!😍

I was quite surprised at the ability of this app to identify even the little morsels of crystals in my Necklace Charms. This App gives you so many different examples of the possible incarnations that each stone/crystal/mineral can come in. Pictures of numerous color a variations, both Raw & Tumbled versions. Each picture you take to identify is given 2 or 3 different possible matches, each match having plenty of example pictures for you to easily narrow down & feel assured as to which the 2 or 3 options of Crystals/Minerals displayed is the correct one. Followed by a whole slew of factoids, the geological processes that created it, it’s uses in wholistic medicine/spiritual & energy work as well as myths, legends & history surrounding the stone.

Ever go to the witchcraft store and buy up a bunch of crystals and rocks and then get back and put them in the salt so that they cleanse and then never get around to cataloging them and then they sit there for months if not years in moonlight and getting dust from the shelf and you think “ I have to get on the Internet and I have to figure out what each of these rocks is it’s gonna take forever” and so you never do it and they continue to sit there? Well, you don’t have to do that again! Just use this app and identify what you have and save a collection in the app! I love the people who made this. If only it had a sister app or feature for us witches or new age people to add features we need to remember .!

Hello. I would like to say that this app is very nice, and so are your other identifying apps. (Wich I will be writing separate reviews about) anyways, back into the reveiw, I've been a rock/crystal/geode lover,so I collect lots of rocks, but if I don’t have pro, I can only identify 2 rocks a day which is very frustrating. Also I have to pay just to get more than two rocks identified. What the frick! I have a whole entire collection, and I got this app to identify them and get accurate information. Only to find out I can only identify two. This is annoying not only to me, but to other rock collectors with tons of rocks. If you don't wanna pay for pro, and got this app to go out and identify random rocks in your backyard, this app is better for you, otherwise this app is awesome and you should get it!

First of all, I am not being negative towards the app, I am poking fun at myself. I just don’t understand labeling any better than before I downloaded this app. Lol. The app is actually very useful, I just need to understand the order of naming rocks or minerals better. You know, Order, family, genus, species type thing, but with rocks. Depending on what angle, lighting, and exposure, I get several results and suggestions for one rock. I’m not sure how to determine which result is the best or most accurate name of the rock I want information on. I’m still learning, but I do recommend this app for anyone looking for more information on rocks and minerals around us. It is very useful and I have learned a ton, I just need to process the information better.

I am in the process of identifying every gem and mineral in my jewelry collection. This app allows me to keep a record of each, along with an enormous amount of information. I am doing this for my heirs and friends. when I pass, my executor is inviting everybody to the house for a party and she's going to lay out all the jewelry and everyone may choose exactly what they wish. They'll know what each gem is. There is more than one birthstone chart and show each month may have five or six different gems depending if it is the Hindu chart or the American chart, etc. Some gems represent the hour of the day that you were born, or the day, and so everyone will know what each one stands for.

I paid the $30 to have the yearly premium account and it was SOOOOO worth it! The scanner is incredibly accurate, even offering a few possibilities of the type of stone if the scan wasn’t the best quality picture or lighting. I can easily go back and re-read the information on my crystals and stones from my collection when I am not sure which one to use. They even have guides on how to distinguish fake and real versions of stones (with pictures)!!!! I LOVE that in the information about the stone, they included the metaphysical details as well, which was very helpful for my understanding and knowledge growth!! Thank you for such an amazing app with such a user friendly experience!!!

At first I tested it on a obviously fake object it was actually plastic but I thought it be interesting to see what it looked like then I tested it on my amethyst which I got through a little around the world kit and you got it right so so far it’s working great and with my newfound interest in finding crystals I love it and it leaves a lot of information with all of the crystals even the ones you have even found yet but i think it would be cool if you could have the picture of your crystal one of the pictures instead of your ( i know it’s a bit counterproductive but with my picture taking skills I think this would be awesome to be honest) never mind i figured out how to do it!

TLDR- Great app but has some flaws I love the app, it helps me identify my crystals and their properties. I don’t like that the app is constantly promoting premium. It’s 30$ per year, and I think that’s a bit much… this app works great without a premium subscription, but there are a few think that are not included without one. There are also a few flaws, like the lighting effecting the answer. For example: if the flash is on when you take the picture then it may not be correct. I had some smoky quarts and when I scanned it with the flash it said it was 5 else, but when I turned of the light it got it correct. So that’s just a few things to take into a-count before downloading this app. Over all I do love the app and use it on a daily <3

This app is amazingly accurate, and it even gives videos and tutorials on how to identify rocks using different methods. I have wanted to learn more about geology, and this is definitely a great start. It has almost no purchases except for premium, and it is a great experience for learning about rocks. It also shows zodiac and healing stones, tells you how hard your rock is, gives you a description, tells you how to identify your rock, has a self learning feature, and more! I love this app. It gives you a collection to keep tabs on your rock, and a history feature. It also tells you how common or how uncommon it is. I definitely recommend this app to anyone you wants to learn

I collect crystals, but sometimes I forget what they were. This is the best crystal app I’ve encountered after searching for one for a while, I definitely recommend to anyone with any interest in crystals! SO MUCH INFO!! About crystal/stone/gem in the app. All the information is ACCURATE! is anyone interested in crystal healing? I know its a pseudoscientific alternative-medicine practice,but I mean its really fun. I love that it shares with me not only healing properties crystals but history and the geographical backgrounds! Only 1 thing this app is lacking. I really wish that I could share the crystals I identified or create my own additions to the community where there would be plenty of happy people out there!

I initially downloaded the app as a joke, but as I started to scan my crystals, minerals and rocks, they were all correct!! It even helped me identify others in my collection and even correct some. It provides a bunch of information from its usage, durability, properties, and even culture and healing/qualities (and more!!). However, it does require a subscription for some things, but overall a really good app! I really recommend this app if you’re a fan or these type of thing or if you want to get into or learn more about rocks, minerals, and/or crystals :) 11/10 rating. (Coming from a harsh critic on apps)

WIP. Could use more database, sort & search features; photo editing after the fact; and ability to export and create specimen labels. But identifying minerals is very easy & fairly accurate. I’d say near perfect accuracy on simple obvious specimens like various forms of quartz, agates, jaspers, gypsums, calcites, micas and common rocks like granites, gneisses & schists. However on fairly obvious minerals accuracy drops to 80-90%. It does gives 3 top choices/guesses & several photos to compare with easy access to standard ID characteristics for further refining/reference. I’d say 80+% of time right answer is 1 of the 3 choices given. But 10+% of my specimens come up very wrong & even though it offers a way to correct it & enter your own ID, if it isn’t in it’s database it rejects your correction! So bottom line, it’s great tool for beginners to ID & learn more about common rocks & minerals. It’s a handy quick start to whittle down choices for more advanced collectors. But a serious mineral collector will find current version of this app a bit limited in both Identification and collection mgmt. Having said that, it’s still best app I’ve found by far!

Helpful for the identification of rocks and minerals. This is my second year using it as an avid rockhound. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t impressed at first. However, the identification has greatly improved, and 9/10 times it chooses the correct identification. I would still invest in a kit that includes a steel blade, a piece of glass, a black and white streak plate, and some Hydrochloric acid drops to aid you in identification. I really like that I can catalog my collection. It would be nice if the subsequent years the subscription was cheaper than the first (just to renew). I would also like to see a delete all feature, as well as add information to aid with identification like hardness, reactivity to acid…That would make it perfect. Overall, very good app.

This is a fantastic free and paid app! I now have the premium version and it is so easy to use- you literally take a picture of the geode or crystal in question and the app immediately begins to identify it. Even better, it doesn’t give you the same handful of results and doesn’t read everything as quartz, which is a nod to its intelligence, in my opinion. It has been incredibly accurate and has a lot of knowledge, which it freely shares. Pics upload clearly, which is always appreciated (the apps camera is better than my iphone cam…). Try it out, you have literally nothing to lose!

I love gems and gemstones but before I downloaded this app, I didn’t know much about them. Sometimes I couldn’t even tell the difference between a rock and a gemstone! But once I saw this app, I thought it looked cool so I downloaded it. And it was amazing! And it doesn’t just scan rocks and gemstones, it also teaches you about other things you might have not scanned before. I also found out I didn’t have one birthstone, I HAD 2! Just one thing you have to take a good picture. If it’s blurry or there’s not enough light around you, you are most likely to get the wrong result. I’m serious you guys HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THIS!!!

I use this app to confirm stones I already possess and know what they are and also to verify stones, say, when I was overseas and sellers attempted to pass off aventurine as emerald - I knew the stones were aventurine, scanned and app confirmed. It even reminded me of the name of a stone, maw sit sit, that I had forgotten the name of. I say “nearly perfect” because light, angle, among many other factors play a role in the accuracy of the app. One star off as I’ve had to run multiple checks on some which I know are “genuine”. Overall, I love this app and use it on a regular basis. Highly recommend & I have recommended it to others including my sister who has a doctorate in geology. I rarely write reviews, this is well worth it. Thank you.

I love that I can document every single piece I purchased, including the locality and the purchase price and the size. I do wish there was a spot for weight. They do tend to have most of my stones and crystals in their files and recognize them when I scan them, which is awesome. I also love the information that’s available for each Crystal. I find that very helpful and useful. Highly recommend this app. It’s worth every penny that I paid. I would like to request, however, that when they don’t recognize a stone, they don’t give you any option add your own name if you know what it is. You just have to keep scanning it until it recognizes something; then it may not be right but you can always change the name once added. Also, please add Cobalto calcite and cobalt bearing dolomite to your library. It never recognizes those. Oh and one more recommendation; if the crystal has more than one mineral on it, can that be recognized as well? Oh and we really need the ability to download the entire collection to PDF.

First I must preface this by saying how grateful I am for an app such as this. As a lifelong rockhound this app has taught me to recognize the rocks that I collect. That being said there are some features that are lacking. Firstly, when each side of a stone is different than I want to know is each side composed of different minerals making it separate or combined does that make it something else. Can it tell me if a rock is a green jasper and a fossil? How old is my rock and even if it’s colored like a green jasper, could it also be obsidian? Can I trust the app when it says that my rock is a gneiss but it’s actually a stromatolite? I wish for as much detail as possible to further educate myself.

I love it! Honestly this has been REALLY helpful. I get good results and I finally know what types of rocks I have!

I love this app!! It always helps me to identify every rock/crystal I found. I often get good results so I give it a 4/5 review!

Get a monthly subscription plan and we are in business. But never will I commit to anything for a year. I want to be able to cancel whenever I want and I can’t help but wonder if that’s the reason for the “my way; or the highway” option you have to choose from. Did you know $40 is a lot of money to people who don’t have a lot of money? Food prices etc are more than ever. So you need to bend a little here? You will rope more people in as well and because they’re doing it monthly you can charge a bit more money than the people willing to commit for a year. It just makes sense🪽

This is such a great app! You can store your own crystals in a collection and it gives so much information. Only once in awhile does it mistake identification.

Seems to be accurate so far. I like knowing a bit more about the rocks that end up in my pockets and this is a great app for that.

Très bonne description sur les pierre

Vraiment bien fait et éducatif

It is pretty helpful

Just what I was looking for

I used all the time to check stone,very satisfied.

I love it would recommend it

Love the app

Very useful app for amateurs just starting to rock hound

Works well. I like it.

Super Helpful if I am not sure

I love this App, it’s my number 1 tool for learning everything about rocks, this app is filled with information, My bestie has it also, and she loves it too, we use this app every day. At times we get different results. We believe it’s because of my iPhone 11 not the app. I just a bought a new iPhone and can’t wait to see how much more accurate it is. I only wish the app could ask where the rocks came from on the day found, or beable to make our own list of places so we could categorize them!! Not every rock, just our find for that day. We go to 5 different rivers, and a couple random places. I forgot where lots came from already is why!

The best app

This is my necklace these are diamond on it.

Love looking at rocks! Great app!

It’s really good, but I think the thing that says how much money is off

Dense ,very smooth!

The identifier is pretty good, but give more options to match my rock. That would be a good idea that should be a good idea to give more options. I’ll just like that.

Got all the rocks right 👍🏼

Excellent way to identify various stones, rocks, crystals, jewelry, etc.

This app is actually good but I don’t know why you need to pay to do infinite per day🤔🤔🤷🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ but the app is still good but if you don’t pay don’t worry you just need to only do two rocks a day if you don’t pay so don’t be worried but it saves up so much GB but if you have more than 20 GB you can’t get this app so you just need a lot of GB

Yay

The latest update has it now showing just one option of what rock it is when you take a picture… it used to show you a handful of possible options, and then you could determine which one seemed to fit best. A one-rock ID is ridiculous, because half of the time if you take a picture at a slightly different angle or lighting, the result will change- so this is nowhere near accurate, now. They are basically just guessing what it might possibly be, instead of what it likely is. Also you used to get unlimited rock IDs, by just bypassing the money-grab subscription screen- now you get 3 a day. I very much get needing to make money, but I will NEVER buy a subscription and a good number of app users are also not interested in ever buying a subscription, for something that over time does not offer any meaningful change in content- it is simply access to the same content, month after month. This is not a magazine subscription for goodness sake, it is a database for collected rocks. If you actually had a decent option like a reasonable one-time lifetime purchase, I would have bought this years ago. Instead there is only an overpriced annual subscription to do things that I can do on my own with google images, mindat, and the notes app. Make it competitive to that and perhaps you will have more customers. But this is currently very unworthy of its price tag.

I HATE HOW THIS APP ONLY LETS YOU TAKE TWO PHOTOS A DAY! ITS ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY BECAUSE YOU COULD STILL HAVE A PRESCRIPTION AND ALSO LET PEOPLE BE HAPPY AND ACTUALLY ENJOY YOUR APP. I WISH I COULD RATE THIS A 0 STARS BUT I CANT YOU SHOULD MAKE THE PHOTOS FREE AND TAKE IT OF THE PRESCRIPTION. IF YOU DO YOU SHOULD GIVE PEOPLE THE PERCENTAGE OF THE PRICE THAT WAS IN THE PRESCRIPTION. I’m sorry for this being all caps but I just wanna let people know before getting the app. It also costs money to find the price of the rock. It only lets you know the price if it’s a tumbled rock. I have a tumbler but I don’t wanna use it. Also people might not have a tumbler so that’s another thing. I hope you can actually read this and start responding to other reviews. (Yes, I pay attention) and don’t tell people, “oh, the prescription is so we can keep the app running longer.” NO! That’s not what we wanna hear. If you fix these things I’ll tell people about your app. If not I won’t, I’ll tell them how unnecessary it is. I know I sound mean but I want to make it clear on how I feel. I hope you actually work on making your app better and not make it some dumpster fire trash. I will be looking forward to these updates. I want people to be happy with the app as much as you do. I hope you pay attention to this review because this is very important. A lot of people have complained about these problems. Thank you for reading this if you have. I took a 30 minutes of my time making this review so I hope you see it.

This is a nice app, but I did not find it as reliable as other reviewers. Many of my results came back as quartz (not specific) chalcedony, or ferruginous quartz. Boring. Frustrating, esp when the same 3 default results keep appearing. Sometimes I had to re-photo the stone 4 or 5 times before finding the correct. result in the second or third option. I did test a number of my crystals like a baseline for accuracy. The app could not identify any of my moonstone crystals or howlite. The results from my raw crystals were much less accurate than the tumbled. I would like the “real or fake” feature to be an option for every crystal. I found this feature to be interesting and educating. I understand that not letting the user download the information in A streamlined summary, Similar to a recipe, keeps us in the app. If I knew that a summary data list was possible, rather than only downloading a link back into the app, I would probably purchase the app. They lost one star for accuracy, and another for not being able to download information. Please note it did work better than any other gem identifier that I tried. All said, this has the framework to be a great app.

Update: Ok, so you need to subscribe to grow your collection, or you’re stuck with what you already have. Too bad! I’m so disappointed! Original: This is the best app of its kind. Most of the time I get the right result, a couple of times I even got tricked on buying a stone and this app told me it wasn’t what I thought I got. Also, the app is allowing me to modify the name of the rock that I scanned (in case it gave me the wrong answer), which is great because they like to improve the app with our help; other apps of this kind require subscription to be able to do that. Good job here! I have a large rock collection and I organized it by color within this app. It took me long enough to realize there’s a easy way to number them so they appear in the right order in my collection. A problem that baffles me is, when I acquire a new rock and want to place it in the right place in my collection, I give it a number that belongs to that place I want it to be, but that number is already taken by another rock and the app doesn’t notify me of having two rocks with the same number, which is very confusing when you have many rocks. But I’ve gotten used to it and I can fix it quickly. Great app!

TL;DR: this app is fun, but won’t give you an accurate ID. It’s almost impossible to identify some minerals and rocks just from a photo. This app presents every identification as true and very often gets the answer wrong. I tested it with multiple rocks and minerals that I have, ranging from obvious to difficult to identify. It got most of the obvious ones but rarely got anything that could be ambiguous in identification. To be fair, it does seem better than a lot of the rock identification apps out there, but it still misses the mark more often than not. It should be a going-off point, not a resource to actually accurately identify rocks or minerals people actually have. Having most everything behind a paywall and only being able to pay yearly isn’t great, but I wouldn’t think this is worth it to pay for in general. I applaud the creators for working hard and doing it better than most others, but IDing rocks and minerals just from an image is nearly impossible for most of the ambiguous ones out there, especially those that humans can’t even ID without getting an XRF or XRD analysis.

I’ve scanned 28k stones in the year I’ve used it and the accuracy remains at 85%. I know almost every mineral so this doesn’t affect my overall review personally, but it may cause trouble with inexperienced collectors. To mislabel a toxic stone as an entirely different mineral can allow people feel comfortable enough to touch with no protection or gift it not knowing it’s potentially filled with heavy metals, radioactivity, arsenic, etc. Which brings me to my next observation, minerals that are a “potential match” should have a warning regardless if the main match is non-toxic or not. Being in the same visual group is risky enough for beginners. The update doesn’t allow already logged minerals to have a label option so there’s that too. Extremely unhappy about that as a subscriber. The app tends to slow down and freeze more as your collection grows so it can be frustrating in the field waiting for my catalog to load in 100°F 🥵 Overall, I’d still recommend it over other identifiers in the App Store.

The app is great and I love how accurate it is, but the one thing I really HATE about it is that you have to PAY in order to scan more than TWO ROCKS A DAY! I have over 400 rocks that I need to identify but since I’m currently staying in a cabin in the woods for a while, I can’t really get help from a geologist that easy. The one thing I wish is that maybe instead of premium giving you unlimited scans, that instead it would give you more information about the rock like how it’s formed and where exactly can it be most commonly found and how much it could be worth. Those are just some ideas that I hope are made true bc I really don’t want to pay to identify more than 2 rocks a day, I would rather have unlimited scans every day without premium but with premium they would be even more accurate and have a lot more information about the rock. Sincerely: Jameson Durant

I’ve been using the app for a while now on a premium membership. I’ve always really liked it. Even if not every ID is correct, a lot are, but it allows you to explore properties of lots of mineral and rock types which is important to me especially as someone learning geology. With that being said, the recent updates have really downgraded the app. There is only one suggestion for each picture now whereas before there were 3. Please bring the 3 back. It’s so much more helpful. Now, you only get one result and the result is so not helpful. Quartz for everything. Even if I know what the rock is and the rocks has a lot of features- quartz every time. That’s just one example but unfortunately I’m not really getting the enjoyment or content from the app anymore. It’s hard to use and not very insightful. Please bring back 3 suggestions.

I was really excited to finally have an app to keep track of my collection. Have hundreds of crystals and stones and nothing is organized! The app is great for my situation - knowing the identity, just need an inventory system - but the accuracy is way, way off for use as identification. Also, please please please allow manual input of the name instead of being forced to choose one that is incorrect. I have some obscure pieces and if the app doesn’t recognize it there is no way of altering it or putting it in myself. Also, it would be awesome to allow the search feature to search everything, not just the name and where it came from. It serves its purpose (for me) but it’s really pricey for having so few features and not being accurate on most of the IDs.

When I first got the yearly subscription, it was great. It gave you two or three crystals to choose from and most likely it was usually the first or second, but whatever update happened is terrible. It only give you one option and then you have to keep clicking and clicking so I’ve just been going and getting my information there, I wish was back. It was it like this I’m thinking about canceling and not renewing the first six months. This was an amazing app. Why fix something that’s not broke.! This seems to be getting worse and worse daily. I will snap a photo of some thing I know is for instance pink zebra Jasper and it comes up saying it’s black moonstone. Or a howlite will say it’s rose quartz. I am so not happy with the changes. A year and a half ago this was five stars. I might give it a one today.

I’ve worked off and on and jewelry for years with precious and the semi precious stones and this cannot identify one of my stones correctly other than my engagement ring everything else it got completely wrong it couldn’t identify a star sapphire Ruby sapphire and diamond ring citrine Ruby amethyst and pink sapphire ring this is an app that just does not work properly as somebody who does jewelry as a hobby and knows as much as the jewelers know this app should be to identify any stone and I can’t even do that it can’t even identify a star sapphire or a star of any sort I am not gonna waste my money on a nap that does not work forces their users to agree to pay a seven day free trial I have deleted this app and I have told people in my family to not download it or use it because of all the inconsistencies with it being wrong with identifying even the simplest of stones

This app correctly identifies basic rocks (for an example amethyst, rose quartz, tigers eye) but will mix up more complicated rocks. I wanted to test a few of these apps to see if they work and they kinda don’t. I do know quite a bit about rocks so take it from me- if you want to know what type of rock you have do some research, or even better go to a local rock shop and ask if they can figure it out. I had a rare type of agate (I got it from a thrift store for $5) that I couldn’t figure out what it was so I went to a professional to have it looked at. It was pricy but I eventually sold it for 15k.

Didn’t use the app after a couple of tries.. Forgot to delete it... and they tried over and over again to try to charge me... Be careful just trying it..

Should be illegal to allow these types of trial to auto pay models.

Tried to cancel my subscription before i was charged- and was still charged for a year subscription. i want my money back and they will not give it back.

I was excited to try this app after seeing the high rating, but it only accurately named 2 out on my 6 gemstone rings. I accidentally took a blurry photo of my bed and it identified it as opal.

Works fine for basic crystals but gets a lotttt wrong and will give you different results for different pictures of the same rock.

It doesn’t give accurate information took the picture of the same stone gave me different results. It should be banned for stealing the money. Forced charges.

Would not recommend

I took two pictures (one of them a blurry photo) and now it’s round me I need to wait a whole day to take another picture that’s so idiotic don’t download this stupid app

I deleted this app about two years ago and just found out it’s Ben charging me 30 some dollars yearly for a subscription that I DID NOT sign up for and I’m still trying to figure out how to cancel it. Worst experience ever DO NOT GET THIS APP‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Unreliable

App costs $40 annually. It’s more accurate than other apps but has a hard time identifying some gems. Gets it right 1 in 5 times for me.

This is so wrong I have a very big rock collection and I identified obsidian and it said it was black onyx 1star👎

And you shouldn’t have to take everyone’s credit card information or upload the app onto your phone using your data you’ll need to find out the tricky little garbage trick of 07 day free trial and you’ll be charged $40 if you don’t cancel ha ha he probably won’t remember so we’re going to take your $40 and then it’ll be too much of a hassle to get it back if you don’t want to have the trial. If you actually had a product that you were secure about and didn’t feel that you needed to manipulate people, you would actually give a free trial and then let people join at their wheel instead of manipulating them, and stealing their money because they forgot to cancel on the sixth day instead of the seventh day of the seven day. Yeah I know it’s a super long review. Thanks for wasting my time app. You’re welcome.

Hello, whoever create this app need to fix it. I did a 7 day free trial and the app actually went and took my money from my bank account and I only said I was going to try the 7 day trial first. Like what is going on, this seems like some scam.

Only 2 rocks can be identified a day without spending 40$, to get a real unlimited ids great false marketing, and I need to pay just to find how much a rocks worth, paying more then the rocks going to be worth useless app. 🥀

Why do we get only two try to scan the rock

So I was trying my Ruby that I know what it is and it was not a ruby. It said it was cordial whatever it’s called and it was blue. It said when it’s clear red

Worst app. Tries to charge me

The app didn’t identify untreated gemstones correctly, and didn’t pick up the fakes. Mixed garnet for ruby. Totally off.

As I do, love it but it’s shouldn’t cost money honestly and it needs to have stones and crystals like I took a picture of my limestone and on different angles, it showed three different rocks

This app only works if what you are trying to identify has already been processed and if it hasn’t been then you need to read through all the scientific information the app gives you on it but you can’t do that without a subscription because they only let you fully read the parts on culture spirituality and healing properties of the rocks which are all things I and many others who found a rock on the ground and just want to know what it is because it looks cool could care less about when compared to what it’s made of if it will survive a rock tumbler makeshift or otherwise and wether or not it possible to make one at home not just buy or find one
