What's New in EcoRoot

1.1.0

September 16, 2026

CAMERA PLANT IDENTIFIER Tap Identify to photograph a plant and get its name, an honest confidence score, and the look-alike species worth ruling out. Your photo is read once for the identification — it is never stored on your device or our servers, and never used for anything else. Prefer the botanical route? "Identify by traits instead" is still there, and both paths open the same herbarium sheet. Plus smaller fixes and polish throughout.

Finally!

This app is everything I’ve wanted in a native plant app for so long! It’s more than just an identifier, I’m building a herbarium. There are lessons and quests that will help me grasp the information in a fun and informative way! So excited to be apart of the beginning stages of this app.
