Comments on Stone Identifier Rock Scanner for Android
★☆☆☆☆D Muckey· Jun 19, 2026
Doesn't work. Can't even correctly identify an amethyst. Keeps saying "unknown". Or unidentifiable.
★☆☆☆☆Jonathan VanLeeuwen· Aug 3, 2026
I scanned 4 different rocks, a quartz, a chalcedony, a red jasper, and petrified wood. It was unable to identify any of them. Simply said "identification failed". I deleted the app after that.
