LimitedNot what was expected from description. Has a use but not extensive..Will try another appVersion: 4.1.2

HandymanGreat product❗️ Tons of reliable info in 1 (1️⃣) Place 👏. Great Pix of wood (Very Necessary for Wood ID). If only 1 critisim it would be, no easy way when looking at wood sample to get back to list, & ability to 'order' wood differently, Otherwise Great ‼️ This App by far is one of the Best on wood identification & usage currently available on iOS devices, AND especially on Retna available devices like iPhones 11 & 12, as well as the Pad Mini❗️👏 Best Pix 🙏.G8TKeaperVersion: 4.1.2

Very Useful App, but...Maybe I’m missing it, but I don’t see a back button. Navigation could be better, but content is extensive and rich..Shaun PetersonVersion: 4.1.0

Very good...butI bought the actual book many years ago, and I've had this app from the beginning. The app is easier to use than the book, and the selection is the same, or better. But a major problem is with the quality of the photos. Sometimes the photo is too close up to get a really good idea of the overall grain pattern. But worse, is that the colors are not corrected. On iPads, with their calibrated screens, this is disappointing. Too often, the color is nothing like the actual color of the wood. This color can significantly vary even among the same wood species when different examples are given. If they could correct the colors, that would go a long way towards making this app extremely useful in wood selection. Include two photos, one of a close-up, and one of a larger portion, and it would be about perfect..MelgrossVersion: 3.40

Tree identificationIt would be nice to show samples of the bark and leaf configuration, at least in some cases..OijvakVersion: 4.1.4

4 StarsGreat app. Just wish it was easier to use..Rmn678Version: 4.1.0

DisappointedI purchased this because I need a tool to identify common native American woods. It is mediocre at that task. The resolution is good but not excellent. There isn't much narrative that helps identify wood species, for example the size of the rays can help you distinguish between whit oak and red oak. The image in the app store show an end grain image, but I didn't find any end grain images in all the woods I looked at. The app has several tools that are probably useful, but they aren't useful to me. It will probably be enhanced over time but for now it is too immature for my needs. Wish I could get my money back..Rvo1Version: 3.30

The only one of its kind...just what i was looking forMan, it is about time someone made an app like this. I am starting into lutherie, and know little about wood identification. However, this app is exactly what i was looking for, and more! The pictures are clear, and the added descriptions are excellent. If i could make a suggestion, its that you should provide alternate photos of wood because every piece is unique in appearance. A single photo could be misleading for identifying an unusual piece of wood. Looking forward to updates with more types! Awesome app!.KriivenVersion: 0

Good Info / Not IntuitiveI'm trying to find a good guide for wood identification without carrying a book around. This app has good info but it's not functional enough. You can add woods to your favorites but then when you go to scroll from one to the next it's back in the main list mixed with African woods for example. It seems like it's just a database packaged nicely. Needs a back function, etc. I'd like to have a list of common American hardwoods I can quickly browse through. Disappointed I spent $5, right now this app is worth $1 or free until it has more function..NewtowoodVersion: 4.0

Overpriced and incompleteA very abridged and and lightweight compendium of wood species. Not much specific information over species. It's more of a "common wood at a glance" than a complete ID tool. Many species left out or lumped into groups even when they are distinct woods. Photos are often not representative or are difficult to identify even with common woods like Douglas fir. More complete info available online wood ID sites and in books. Probably an ok app for the occasional woodworker or curious. Pretty disappointed as a professional. As it stands this is a $1 app, not $5. Save your money and get a book..FabianSanchez47Version: 4.0

Good start and great ideaVery nicely executed application. However there this application is missing a lot of important content. For example: Spruce is only shown as "Spruce" when key variants such as Sitka and Adirondack are not included. The same with Rosewood where variants are key such as Brazilian, East Indian, and others have significant differnces in sustainability and application. In terms of grading exotics there is no discussion of AA, AAA, AAAA, and AAAAA which describes the quality/depth of figure in the woods. Add more detail and more comprehensive glossary and I will upgrade my rating..Philbert1Version: 0

Original and helpful appWould love to see the browsing mechanism change though--not a fan at all. I don't need to go through three pages of descriptions just to look at the next wood grain image in the database. Please change it so you can flip through the images only and pull up the info window only when interested in that particular grain..FrozoloftVersion: 0

Tons of very useful info & toolsAll the data compiled about the wood is great. Although agree with many folks, seems as though the developer is slow to include more species. However, I find the app very easy to navigate, especially given the amount of data and reference material provided. I look forward to seeing more updates..ThebytedocVersion: 3.02

Great ToolI love all the additional woods added this was a great update. If you need to show your customers what choices to use for cabinets or flooring and fill them in on info of each woods characteristics this is the perfect app to use. All in all I think a great job, thanks for the update and keep up the good work..Ecogal99Version: 0

Love this appI have had this app for a day, but I absolutely love it. Money well spent.Lonly fritsVersion: 4.1.2

Great AppIf you work in the millwork industry this is must have app..ACE7605Version: 3.30

Great pocket referenceAs a cabinetry student, this app is indispensable. It contains tons of wood species, pictures, and practical uses, as well as a reference guide to woodworking terms. Great to have around as a wood worker..KabanashackVersion: 0

A Good AppOne of the first apps I bought - years ago. I don't use it every day; but, when I do, it is a great resource. Worth every penny..RGR1959Version: 4.0

Needs improvmentGood idea but needs more. There are a Lot of popular woods that are not included. Great idea will be better after an update!.MorzergVersion: 0

Nice app but limitedAll the most common species are there but it's quite a limited list. Tried looking up Mexican Parota because I am doing a project with it but it's not there. I'm also turning some pens with Camphor wood but that too isn't listed..SkyQuest172Version: 0

I.D. Wood Negative Reviews

Miss-named AppI’m greatly disappointed. I wanted a tool that could help me ID a piece of wood in hand. If this app isn’t worthless from a practical use standpoint, then it deserves the low rating simply on poor instruction and functionality. For example, I performed a search and got 75 hits, but the app only lets me see 50 of them. Way too many, but still, why can’t I see them all? And why can’t I narrow my search further? If you are looking for a simple wood ID tool, this isn’t it..Brother CSVersion: 4.1.0

Not what I thought it wasI got this app to help me identify the wood in some antiques that I found in EU. I thought it was an AI scan type app but it just has pictures. That might be helpful if there were more pictures with different finishes, but it just has a small piece showing a small part if the grain- pretty useless. Iit is also kind of clumsy. I don’t recommend this one..MamapadmaVersion: 4.1.4

Out of dateDoes not include some common wood types and is woefully out of date with the website that this app sisters also lacks a lot of the wood detail pictures. Navigation within the app is sub par and tedious. Not worth 6 bucks, just use the website instead it’s easier to navigate and has more information..J.BlaskeVersion: 4.1.0

Lacking as a ReferenceThe very first wood I searched, a domestic hardwood, Alder & Red Alder were no where to be found in this app. Navigating the app also has a lot to be desired. Makes you wonder since this app hasn’t been updated in 2 years that it even works at all. Better to save your money and search the Internet for wood identification instead..Maker60Version: 4.1.0

DisappointedI was hoping that it would have a camera ability to take a picture of your wood and it would identify it. This is useless unless your just curious about a certain species of wood. I have bubinga and it looks nothing like the picture on this app. None of my woods match the pictures on this app. What a waste of money!.SatmantooVersion: 4.1.2

Not What I ThoughtI thought that this app was much like other identification apps where I could take a picture of the specific type of wood and it would identify it. Instead you have to scroll through a hundred different types to find one that might look similar.Emma52879Version: 4.1.2

Not what I expectedLike other reviews, we’d much prefer to take a pic of a piece of wood and have the app tell us rather than determine the type from searching a database with 100’s of possible choices? Waste of $5.AJinChainzVersion: 4.1.4

Well it does not help you Id a species of woodThis app is about as useless as can be when you say ID wood I would expect it to help you figure out what kind of wood your working with. If you u already know what you have then it will tell you about it. Otherwise it’s a useless app..ZeroReconVersion: 4.1.2

UselessSave your money with this app you can’t even view all the thumbnails at once making it painstaking and almost impossible to actually find out what kinda wood your liking at, for 10$ it’s a complete rip off.Jnbk351Version: 4.1.4

Great idea for an app...This app is missing a way to get a listing of the images of wood to help ID a board in hand. There does not appear to be search by wood Characteristics like color or grain pattern. Ideally let me take a picture of the wood and show me images of the closest matches..Ajl766Version: 4.1.2

What’s the use of having an app with limited space informationI assumed this app would work like picture this. Take a photo and get suggested wood species. Seems like I have to thumb through all the limited information to make a deduction of what it might be..1ofakindworkVersion: 4.1.2

Don’t waste $10I thought it would help identify wood trough my camera lens. I didn’t know i would have to go through pictures of every single species in the world and compare it to the piece i am looking at..TucumGalVersion: 4.1.4

Not worth the moneyShame on me, should have read the reviews before purchase. Not what it seems..WoodnotbuyVersion: 4.1.4

Great app for people who already know what they’re looking forYou may as well just google based on what you see, this app does not “identify woods”, it shows you pictures of known woods for you to compare to. Absolute waste of money..VeganGusVersion: 4.1.0

Not worth 4 cents.My own fault I should have read more reviews. I like most, who are I’m guessing, wanted an app where you take a picture of a piece of wood and the app through the pic of the grain wood tell you what it is. Waste of 5 bucks.Vortex222Version: 4.1.0

Not What You ThinkVery dissatisfied and disappointed. I thought this app would identify wood with a photo or similar but no such thing. It’s another useless app that is not worth the purchase..TmanORVersion: 4.1.4

Very Poorly Designed AppVery difficult to use. There is no back button. Impossible to find a species of wood unless you know what you are looking for but then why do you need the app. I would like a refund..Marvel987Version: 4.1.0

App Name is ScamYou don’t realize that this app does not identify your wood until after they charge you $10USD. You have to search their database for wood information. What a scam this is! RUN AWAY NOW!.PickANickname1111111111111111Version: 4.1.4

LimitedNot all woods are there. Hard to identify one by one. Navigation is hard. Very simple app. Just look it up on google..Orbit5194Version: 4.1.0

MisrepresentationThis App does not identify a piece of wood. Need to be able to take a picture and then ID what you are looking at. Highly disappointed..Disappointed Too!!Version: 4.1.4

Not usefulI have wood, I need to identify what kind it is. From the images it looks like you can put a camera up & it will tell you like other apps. Waste of my.Cwgirl1025Version: 4.1.2

Completely Useless AppI assumed this app would allow me to identify the wood grain of furniture or flooring using the camera. I’m not sure what it is supposed to do. It seems to serve no purpose whatsoever and costs $4.99.Berserker77Version: 4.1.0

Good app if it be easy to use, very confusing and time consumingNot easily navigated no back button got to go back to the list. Not recommended.Dang470Version: 4.1.0

Incomplete and misrepresentativeEndgrain pictures are missing for many species and are generally too low quality for identification anyway..Dc311124Version: 4.1.0

TrashThis app is absolute trash. I don’t ever leave reviews…but do not spend the money on this. It doesn’t help to identify wood at all..K.mac_924Version: 4.1.4

Terrible appThought the app would allow me to ID a piece of wood. A list of all the wood types does nothing for me..Misleading app descriptionVersion: 4.1.4

Not I.D.Doesn’t help identify the wood , you basically have to know what the wood is and then it tells what kind it is…. Duh….!bullshitidVersion: 4.1.2

Hard to use appNo back up button and app is hard to use.Clyde HendricksVersion: 4.1.0

Not a snap pic & identify wood appShucks... paid for this app hoping to snap a pic of wood & it would tell me what type of wood it is... not so..WENZb808Version: 4.1.2

I.D.WOODCheesy app. There are free ones online!.SluthierVersion: 4.1.4

OK as a very basic referenceIf you want a list of a bunch of different kinds of woods with a picture or two, then this reference is fine. However, if you are really trying to identify a type of wood, you'll come up short with this app as I did. There are not enough pictures or detailed descriptions of the wood to really tell because the photos shown look very similar for varieties. For example, by looking at the pictures I really couldn't differentiate between, say, black walnut from cherry. I was trying to identify the wood on pocket doors in an old Victorian house and this was no help. To do an adequate job identifying wood, you need some close-up shots, some pics of a large piece to show variation, some with different finishes, some quarter-sawn, etc. Different pieces will have a different look, and one or two small sample shots really won't do the trick. I ended up just doing a Google search for images and found a plethora of examples for free. I was disappointed I spent money for such a limited view here. Somehow I thought the description said you could take a picture of wood and it would help you identify it. That was why I bought the app. If really this is a feature somewhere, I have yet to find it..Old House GirlVersion: 3.20

I want my money backUse google you’re better off I wish they had a minus one star.Todd_DowneyVersion: 4.1.0

Très limitéCorrect pour obtenir de l’information sur des espèces dont vous connaissez déjà le nom mais inutile pour essayer de découvrir un type de bois à partir d’images ou de coupe de bout. Pas recommandé malgré les témoignages mis de l’avant sur leur page d’information..Danbar123Version: 4.1.0

Some bugsJust loaded v3.01. Some serious bugs as crashes often, pages overwrite each other so cannot read, slow navigation and often returns to incorrect pages when using back arrow.
