Wood identifier

Needs to have a scan function.

Tree identification

It would be nice to show samples of the bark and leaf configuration, at least in some cases.

Terrible

If you like just looking at pics of wood - get it. If you want a real tool to identify wood - this is not it. Waste of time & money

Not what I thought it was

I 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.

Misrepresentation

This 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.

Useless

Save 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

Mis named app

I should have read reviews. I want my money back. I’m looking for an app that will identify a piece of wood in my hand.

Don’t waste $10

I 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.

App Name is Scam

You 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!

Trash

This 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.

Doesn’t match actual hardwoods I have

Bad app!! Refund please!!!!

Not What You Think

Very 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.

Not what I expected

Like 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

I.D.WOOD

Cheesy app. There are free ones online!

Not worth the money

Shame on me, should have read the reviews before purchase. Not what it seems.

Limited

Not what was expected from description. Has a use but not extensive.

Well it does not help you Id a species of wood

This 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.

Disappointed

I 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!

Not What I Thought

I 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

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…

Handyman

Great 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 🙏

Not a snap pic & identify wood app

Shucks... paid for this app hoping to snap a pic of wood & it would tell me what type of wood it is... not so.

Not what I expected

I have a bunch of plant and garden identification apps.They all work the same way, basically you upload a photograph of the plant, weed, insect, flower, or treeYou are trying to identify and it gives you a list of suggestions of what it might be. Unfortunately that was what I thought this app might help me do.Basically if what you need is a master list of every wood and what it looks like and all of its characteristics, basically a reference, then this will be fine. But I was looking for some thing that could ID wood for me. Also the navigation on this is quite frustrating. When you hit the back button you have to go back to the master list and scroll all the way through the list again to get back to where you were. The back button function is not helpful. They need to rework that.

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.

What’s the use of having an app with limited space information

I 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.

Not useful

I 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

Very Poorly Designed App

Very 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.

Good app if it be easy to use, very confusing and time consuming

Not easily navigated no back button got to go back to the list. Not recommended

Completely Useless App

I 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

Out of date

Does 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.

Lacking as a Reference

The 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.

Hard to use app

No back up button and app is hard to use

Great app for people who already know what they’re looking for

You 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.

Incomplete and misrepresentative

Endgrain pictures are missing for many species and are generally too low quality for identification anyway.

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.

Bob villa screwed me again

This app is terrible. I wish I could kick the guy who made this app square in the D1ck. (Or in the case that a woman created the app... then kick her square in the taco)

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

Limited

Not all woods are there. Hard to identify one by one. Navigation is hard. Very simple app. Just look it up on google.

4 Stars

Great app. Just wish it was easier to use.

Miss-named App

I’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.

Totally useless

I thought this app identified woods from a photo taken with my phone. This is not the case and if you have no idea what type of wood you're looking at this app isn't going to help. Plus, there is a lot of searching and scrolling to find information. I'm annoyed I paid $5 and now I'm just going to delete it from my phone because I'll never use it.

Awesome

Tons of information

Moderately useful, but not $5 useful

It's a decent help, for a moderate amount of woods. The problems would largely be a lack of images for the woods. If anything, there might be an end grain picture, and one other image. The addition of a back function, a full list of thumbnails, without needing to select a letter category first. The last update being more than a year ago isn't confidence inspiring, either

Overpriced and incomplete

A 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.

Great App, great developers

I love the app and all of the features... The BF calculator is indispensable, the glossary is just what any craftsman needs. Developers are very responsive with any help or questions that may arise. Thanks!

Love the app - navigation could be better

Lots of great info, find the app very useful. Wish navigation allowed you to go back one screen rather than start the search all over. As example if you go into the list for "use" and select "turnery" and select a wood u have to go back to the list screen rather than just back to turnery

great app

Great app. It would benefit from from a measure of the strength of woods.

Good Info / Not Intuitive

I'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.

Good, but room for improvement

There's a lot of great info, but the UI is frustrating (e.g., no back button), the organization isn't intuitive (e.g., the board foot calculator isn't on the calculator), and the glossary is incomplete (and some entries are rather brief). Not sad I bought it, but hopefully it improves. Another wish is to include info on woods used in instruments, but I can hardly offer that as criticism.
