Flower guide, not photo identification.
I was looking for an app where I can take a picture of a flower and it will tell me what it is. This is not that app. This is a guide for you to look through, just like a flower book on your phone.
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.

Perfect!
I love this! Now I don't have to wonder what I am seeing. It is great to id a flower or tree on the spot. The tidbits are helpful as well as descriptions. Thank you!
Perfect for everyone!
Great application ! Photos, tidbits and all the information is much more than you can find in any one Wildflower book! Plus your phone fits in your pocket! It is also easy to use! Try it you won't be disappointed !
Wonderful
Finally an app for Colorado wildflowers. Rather than trying to figure out which of my wildflower books to bring on a hike I can just have my phone. The app covers alpine, subalpine, montane and foothills zones. Includes photos and drawings for help in identification. Search capability is good. I would like to see a place to enter notes on a plant, and also to enter where and when I've seen a plant. It would also be nice to have a "similar to" function. But I still love the app even without these capabilities.

Solid.
It's a really well designed search interface. Like any flower/tree app, the database isn't 100% complete. It would be nice if invasive species were given some kind of distinctive entry. But, this is the friendliest app I've found yet, and it's nice that it's focused on Colorado.
