Well maybe your experience has been different from mine but the suggestions I get are usually very wrong. You can absolutely use it as a jumping off point for further research and verification but I am wary of people thinking that these apps are at all accurate for mushrooms. There was just an article of a guy who ate destroying angels because his app ID’d them as giant puffballs. This is not a level of accuracy that I can endorse when the consequences can be life or death.
Seek specifically has a warning as soon as you open the camera to start an identification. I personally would not trust it enough for consumption even without the warning.
As someone who is learning(because I am interested, not to try and eat) it usually gets me close, and somewhere to start… Usually.
