Fantastic, Packed with Information

Moving to a new area in Colorado, this app is helping me tremendously identify and become at home with the local native plants. As well, I’m able to quickly determine invasive non-natives that I can remove right away. Thank you for creating such a wonderful resource.

Missing flowers

I bought this app to identify flowers in Crested Butte last week. Crested Butte is the "Wildflower Capital of Colorado." None of the flowers in the field were even on the app.

Otherwise, it could be prettier but I'd be happy with it if it was simply comprehensive.

I thought it would be better...

Pay 10 smackers for a wildflower guide? It had be better than the free ones you can get for california and oregon. It’s not and it’s interface is a worse version of the free ones. I downloaded to identify a thistle I ran into and it didn’t have many of the possible thistles in the database! I just googled it! it’s a plumeless! At least add all the noxious weeds.

Please fix search function

I tested the app out by searching for a blanketflower. When I chose the characteristics I could only choose one color and not multiples. I could not find it by choosing orange or red. I was only able to find this flower when choosing yellow. Many of the gaillardia’s I see are mostly red or orange.
It would be really nice if I could choose both colors, but the app won’t allow that. Many Colorado flowers, like the columbine and blanket flower, have more than one color. Even in the tidbit description multiple color characteristics are chosen. The browse section is nice but the search function doesn’t work well.

Love this

It works great so far, first four plants I tried to ID gave me the match! Simple interface, i will use this a lot

Best I can find that covers my area

I live in the mountains of north central AZ. Excellent pick by characteristics app. I can get close to the scientific name/ family of plant but not exactly the one I'm looking at. Recommend to anyone in the Four Corners Area.

Accurate App!

I have only used this app once but of the four different flowers I searched for it had all four. It has multiple pics of each flower which is great to better identify that you have an accurate match. As a photographer I was always interested in more info on the flowers I was shooting and this makes it extremely easy to locate them and learn more about them. It also has a "Favorite" feature so I can log all the plants I have photographed.

Field guide in your pocket

I am an author of Wildflowers Along the Way, an app for Appalachian mountain plants. I'm heading for CO next week and want to be able to focus on flowers likely to be blooming in September. Books aren't searchable for bloom times.
I downloaded the preview of this app and am impressed with the organization and quantity of information. I immediately started the upgrade to the full version. I'll use it for identification and for a good read on the plane.

Can’t find many flowers

Bought based on reviews. Idea is good but have taken 2 separate hikes in Summit county with so many beautiful wildflowers. App only finds a few of them even when my only criteria is flower and color. This should give me a large choice but still unable to find many on them. Wanted to use app instead of carrying a book but will need to go back to a book.

wish all apps were this good

Easy to use, extensive, accurate. More than wildflowers with some trees, ferns etc. Worth the price to have this much information in your pocket.

Kudos to the developers.
