I’m not sure when it is supposed to be ready to cut so I decided to look it up using Blossom and after taking two photos and uploading them, it told me it was cabbage. There’s not an easy way to dispute that you either accept it or you have to go to another page and cancel it out. My confidence level with this app drop like a hot potato! ### 1/5 — Was Good, No Updates *2026-03-05, version 2.62.29* App was initially nearly perfect. Then “upgrades” were made which only made app slower and harder to use. Mentioned multiple glitches over a year ago to someone at the company and nothing has been done. Looking at other houseplant management options. ### 1/5 — Huge price increase *2026-03-03, version 2.62.29* Used this app faithfully for years and they did such a drastically high price increase it’s no longer affordable. No options for simpler plans, and the added tools aren’t even helpful or accurate. So disappointed. ### 1/5 — Difficult to cancel subscription *2026-02-23, version 2.62.28* Sent over 20 minutes Trying to cancel this subscription ### 3/5 — Inutilisable sans abonnement *2026-02-18, version 2.62.28* Incapable d'utiliser l'application sans payer l'abonnement ### 1/5 — Not worth the free trial!! *2026-02-16, version 2.62.28* Expensive!! Average $8/week and is now using my company card and now I’m trying to figure out how to cancel this thing. Also, confusing app! ### 1/5 — Money taken and I have not signed up *2026-01-30, version 2.62.28* Terrible app - no rating I downloaded this app on a free trial and free version and it has started to take money from me at 24.95 for the last 4 months monthly for something I do not want and it is impossible to trace them as the company is dissolved ### 1/5 — Was Good, No Updates *2026-01-24, version 2.62.28* App was initially nearly perfect. Then “upgrades” were made which only made app slower and harder to use. Mentioned multiple glitches over a year ago to someone at the company and nothing has been done. Looking at other houseplant management options. ### 1/5 — Charged after cancellation *2026-01-22, version 2.62.28* Be really careful. They have charged me even before though I cancelled in the 7 days free trial and it hasn’t ended yet the 7 days. I’m waiting for an answer and a refund. ### 2/5 — Pay to work *2026-01-21, version 2.62.28* You’ve got to pay a weekly fee for this app to work ### 1/5 — Once great app changed by greed *2026-01-17, version 2.62.27* I genuinely used to enjoy the Blossom app—before it was acquired and aggressively monetized. At one point, Blossom was a fantastic tool for plant identification, watering schedules, and fertilization guidance for both indoor and outdoor plants. As someone without a natural green thumb, this app was incredibly helpful. I even paid for a subscription because the value was absolutely there. Unfortunately, that value has steadily disappeared. Features that were once free and genuinely useful—like how much to water your plants—are now locked behind a paywall. There are also new limitations on things like alerts unless you subscribe. These changes fundamentally undermine what made the app approachable and beginner-friendly in the first place. And then there’s the price hike. Not a few dollars—a significant jump. Enough to make me cancel and start researching alternatives immediately. I’d recommend anyone reading this do the same, because by the time you see this review, the price may have gone up again. I understand that AI tooling and ongoing development cost money. I’m not opposed to paying for quality software. But this no longer feels like an app designed to help people care for their plants—it feels like an app designed to extract as much money as possible. There is still value here. But at the current price point? Absolutely not. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DON’T GET THEIR TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION! *2026-08-08, version 2.62.30* I tried out their trial subscription, canceled after 5 days on Apple as advised, but then got billed their ridiculous weekly rate. They « apologized « and told me to go to Apple to settle the charge without even offering to step in. Of course Apple refused to refund the money even though I have proof that I had cancelled in due time. BIG THUMBS DOWN to both Blossom and Apple on this. If you don’t want to get swindled don’t even try out this app! ### 1/5 — I do not want the Blossom acct please cancel it. *2026-07-10, version 2.62.30* Please cancel the Blossom acct. don’t want it. ### 1/5 — 8 bucks a week for what? *2026-06-14, version 2.62.30* So that I can get half-accurate advice on caring for house plants? No thanks- I’ll stick with any of the other apps that give that info for free. Deleting this app and never downloading it again. Way to ruin a great idea with greed. ### 1/5 — Sick of apps claiming “Free”or “in app purchases” *2026-06-11, version 2.62.30* I am so over being charged for an app or tricked into downloading it. If you can only use the app with a free trial then it should state the apps price and not say “Free” or “in app purchases”. it’s misleading and is wrong in every sense of the word. big tech is about money money money. ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-05-28, version 2.62.30* It looked professional but i only could take photos and it went straight to buying a subscription ### 1/5 — No identifica una planta básica *2026-05-20, version 2.62.30* No vale la pena ### 1/5 — Not really free *2026-05-10, version 2.62.30* Not really free ### 1/5 — Don’t go here *2026-05-03, version 2.62.30* Try the other app. Much more user friendly and accurate. Aldi the other app doesn’t lead you down the garden path ££££ literally 👀 ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-04-19, version 2.62.30* You get a 7 day free trial but have to pay when you activate free trial i assume so it can charge you after the 7 days. ### 1/5 — … *2026-04-16, version 2.62.30* The camera is not free, so you have to search for two hours, name of the plant you don’t know.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Plants *2026-08-13, version 2.62.30* Thank you for this wonderful app blossom. It is so easy to use. I take pictures of all my plants and what rooms they’re in which is a great feature. That way I can keep them organized and it tells me when to water them and went to fertilize them, this is the best ### 5/5 — Love *2026-07-23, version 2.62.30* Evil ### 5/5 — Plant serial killer *2026-07-12, version 2.62.30* I want to confess! I’m a plant serial killer. I desperately want to stop and I think Blossom will help me do it! ### 5/5 — A Great Guide and Resource *2026-06-12, version 2.62.30* Specific watering tips are most helpful providing signs of over and under watering. Syncing fertilization days with watering days would be helpful to those of us using liquid fertilizer. (Currently, I look ahead to determine best time to fertilize.) Plant identifier is very helpful and a time saver. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Not suited for hot desert climates. *2026-05-10, version 2.62.30* I love this app, all except one major gap. I live in Arizona and the temperatures during much of the year are much higher than the top range in the app. Therefore the schedule for watering isn’t accurate as calculated by the app. Everything has to be manually adjusted. Also many desert plants are not found in this app. ### 5/5 — Great app — so helpful *2026-03-20, version 2.62.29* This app rocks! It reminds me to water my plants (which is necessary for me to keep them alive! lol) It also allows me to keep a detailed record of my plants’ names, who was propagated from whom, when I last repotted them, the colour of their blooms (I grow mostly Christmas and Easter cacti), photos of their growth progress and when to fertilize them. It also helps me figure out what might be the issue if they get sick. It is worth every single penny. ### 5/5 — Una m*erda *2025-10-30, version 2.62.27* Me cargué una planta gracias a sus consejos de m*erda ### 5/5 — It’s great *2025-10-18, version 2.62.27* Blktkgkkgkririfkfofififidifkdiududueuduudud ### 5/5 — A great guide! *2025-06-12, version 2.62.22* Specific watering tips are most helpful providing signs of over and under watering. Syncing fertilization days with watering days would be helpful to those of us using liquid fertilizer. (Currently, I look ahead to determine best time to fertilize.) Plant identifier is very helpful and a time saver. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app — so helpful *2025-05-03, version 2.62.18* This app rocks! It reminds me to water my plants (which is necessary for me to keep them alive! lol) It also allows me to keep a detailed record of my plants’ names, who was propagated from whom, when I last repotted them, the colour of their blooms (I grow mostly Christmas and Easter cacti), photos of their growth progress and when to fertilize them.
