Ratings and Reviews
Wonderfully non-traditional insect identification
A fascinating look into the world that is your windshield. This app is a refreshed version of an older book and was extremely well executed. Easy to use and navigate. Great pictures and information about each and every [unfortunate] insect to go splat, thwack, or thump as you drive. Have you ever wanted to forever one-up your know-it-all naturalist friends? Then this is the ID guide for you.
Very enGROSSing
It's kind of disturbing that this kind of research has been done. Grossed me out to have the splats categorized by shape and color. The matching game made me feel weird, in addition to the looks I got from my friends peering over my shoulder. Great scientific information once you get past all this, though! Would highly recomend this to everyone!!!
Loved the game options
Me and my kids love this app. We really enjoyed the extra game options in the app. My daughter caught a very very very large beetle while driving…it was a little freaky to have such a large bug in the car but we managed.
Great laughs and fun for hours
