Misidentification problems
May 13
Gillburt_
It keeps misidentifying teeth even though there are strong identifying factors that point towards literally any other shark. The thing can’t seem to understand cusplets. Which are when the teeth have “smaller” teeth on the side. Which is a very key feature in identifying. Keeps saying I have a great white shark when there are cusplets, same thing with a bull shark even though it’s impossible for them to have it. Overall you’re better to just spend the time looking online and getting accurate information than this.I’ve run tests on shark teeth I know for certain what they are and of the 4 very distinct teeth it was unable to identify any of them properly. Then, when I scanned what is very clearly a shark tooth it told me it wasn’t. I’m unable to attach photos but I bought that tooth online from a well respected source.

Not good at all

I tried a 3 day free trial and… The “AI” is terrible and can’t recognize anything. They also can’t identify common sharks like sand tiger, bull shark, great white, snaggletooth, megalodon, it’s safe to say everything’s nonsense.

Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback! We've made several improvements recently. Accurate results depend heavily on clear, focused photos — which we’ve found is often the issue. We're continuously working to improve recognition, even for common species. Feel free to try again, and reach out if you need help!
