Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Rock Identifier and geological specimen identification.
How accurate is the rock identification?
Our AI-powered identification system achieves over 95% accuracy for common rocks and minerals. The accuracy depends on image quality, lighting conditions, and specimen visibility. For best results, take clear, well-lit photos showing the specimen's surface texture, color, and any distinctive features.
Does the app work offline?
Rock Identifier requires an internet connection for the AI analysis and database access. However, once you've identified specimens, you can save them to your personal collection and view the information offline. We're working on offline capabilities for future updates.
Can I identify fossils and meteorites?
Yes! Our database includes common fossils, meteorites, and other geological specimens. While we excel at identifying rocks, minerals, and crystals, we also provide information about fossilized remains and extraterrestrial materials when identifiable features are present.
Is Rock Identifier free to use?
Rock Identifier offers both free and premium features. Basic identification is free with limited daily scans. Premium subscribers enjoy unlimited identifications, advanced features, detailed specimen information, and priority support. Check our app stores for current pricing.
How do I get the best identification results?
For optimal results: use natural lighting, clean the specimen surface, capture multiple angles, fill the frame with the specimen, avoid shadows, and ensure the image is in focus. The app works best with specimens showing clear surface textures, crystal structures, or distinctive geological features.
Can I contribute to the database?
We welcome contributions from the geological community! Users can submit verified specimens, corrections, and additional information to help improve our database. Contact our support team if you're interested in contributing to the Rock Identifier database.
