What is a wood identification app?

A wood identification app suggests a wood species from a photo of lumber, furniture, flooring, or a cut end. Wood Identifier : Woodio also shows grain notes and common uses for that suggestion. The result is a guide, not a lab certificate.

Is Wood Identifier : Woodio a free wood identification app?

People looking for a free wood identification app can download Wood Identifier : Woodio on iPhone at no charge. Wood identification itself requires Premium, a weekly or yearly subscription. The weekly plan starts with a 3-day trial. You are not charged if you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends.

What is a wood scanner app?

A wood scanner app uses the same photo workflow. You point the camera at lumber, furniture, or timber, and the app suggests a species. Wood Identifier : Woodio is that app on iPhone.

What can a result include?

A result can name a suggested species and describe grain, color, and common uses. It can include hardness and workability when those notes exist for the suggestion. Finishes, lookalike species, and a blurry photo can make the suggestion wrong.

How should I photograph the wood?

Use even daylight. Photograph the face grain, and add a fresh end-grain cut when you can. Skip glare, heavy shadow, and blur. End grain shows pores that face grain hides.

Can I photograph finished furniture?

Yes. Stain, oil, and lacquer hide color and some grain, so treat the suggestion as a lead and check an unstained spot when you can.

Are the results always right?

No. The app makes an AI suggestion from what the camera sees. Ask a qualified wood professional before you buy, sell, or rely on a result for a structural decision.
