Absolute rubbish, not many British wild plants, only British plants are few and far between as it’s constantly repeating the same plants. Went back onto it, once I could find it as it was ‘hidden’ the reviews shows less than what was advertised and the reviews are no longer showing when going to look for them. Don’t waste your money - only giving 1 star as not allowed to leave none! ### 3/5 — location *2021-03-05, version 1.0* where to observe a plant ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-09-28* I was looking for an app to learn about edible plants. What part can I eat, how do I eat it, does it have other uses. This app does not tell me any of this information so should really titled something else. It was a waste of my money. ### 1/5 — Does not identify, you must enter name *2017-07-24* This is not what I expected. I need a way to identify and then learn if it's edible. Very disappointed and would like my money back. ### 1/5 — Fake reviews / app is garbage. *2015-12-07* The positive reviews for this app are clearly fake since the app itself is complete and utter garbage. There are only a handful of plants listed and doing a simple search on Google returns much more useful informationon this app provides. Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — Looks good at first glance *2015-09-21* The app looks good at first glance but when you start using it you'll find the write ups are less than scientific, the plants are not organized by region, plant attributes are often not specific enough to provide positive identification and appropriate warnings are not given or could easily be missed. For example hemlock (poisonous) can easily be mistaken for wild carrots (edible) but aside from a slight nod to this fact deep in the write up, no warning is given. In other cases superfluous language about longevity and toxin cleaning is used. If you're looking for something to get you started and want to spend your money on something you could likely get for free, this app is for you. If you want a useful field reference that you can use to reliably identify plants and their properties such as being edible, you're still better off buying a National Audubon Field guide (actual book). ### 5/5 — Great reference *2015-07-29* Easy to use and is the best reference app for edible plants out there! Great images and zoom in capability! ### 2/5 — Poor Quality Images, No References, No plant Diagrams of Full Plants *2015-07-20* 1) Poor Quality Images: low Resolution 2) No References: Medical info should give references 3) No plant Diagrams of Full Plants to allow for identification ### 5/5 — Well done *2015-07-03, version 1.0* Wow this app makes everything so much easier. I have the book and it was harder to find stuff. I ended up not using it (my mom uses it and it has more info) but now with This it makes life so much more easier :-) thanks Markus ### 5/5 — Very useful *2015-06-27* I have Markus's book but this app is great to have with you no matter where you are . You have to carry around a book everywhere. It's also the best app compared to the other apps I had gotten on wild plants ## Frequently asked questions about Edible Plant Guide ### What is Edible Plant Guide?
