I might be biased because I identify spiders for a hobby and these apps put me out of work.
But there are real problems with them. They work fine approximatly 80% of the time and if you just want to learn some fun facts about local insects and plants, that’s great. Worst thing that can happen you learn something interesting about the wrong thing.
However, you’d never want to trust an app for picking mushrooms that you’re planning to eat. (I hope you don’t, if you do, don’t!). That’s very dangerous.
Spiders are somewhere in the middle. And if you’re actually concerend that a spider might be medically significant, I would not trust an app for that.

But in this case your app was absolutly spot on.
