Und dennoch viel Potenzial für einen Ausbau! *2026-07-09* Ich habe die App nun schon zwei Jahre und bin überrascht wie gut eine kostenlose App funktionieren kann wenn sie einen allgemeinen Nutzen bezweckt. Sie wird langsam, dafür stetig optimiert und verbessert. Großes Lob dafür! Jetzt, wo wieder viel im Garten gewerkelt und verschönert wird, ist mir ein Gedanke gekommen der sicherlich für viele Hobbygärtner und Newbie’s, früher oder später, zum Thema wird. Deshalb hier mal ein Anstoß an die Entwickler. Es wäre eine tolle Erweiterung wenn man zu den Info‘s über die Pflanze auch etwas zur Pflege nachlesen könnte. Speziell in meinem Fall habe ich versucht raus zu finden wann, und vor allem wie, ich meine Pflanze am besten beschneide und pflege. Vielleicht wäre hier eine Implementierung kurzer Pflegehinweise möglich und sinnvoll. Aber auch ohne solch eine Umsetzung eine wirklich tolle App! 👍 **Developer response:** 👍 ### 5/5 — Fun hobby :) *2026-07-08, version 3.14* Fun hobby ### 5/5 — Отлично! *2026-07-05* Великолепное приложение! ### 5/5 — Очень нравится *2026-07-03* Я рада что нашла это приложение, уже много лет с его помощью определяю разные растения, спасибо за новые знания ### 5/5 — Cyclamen ID *2026-06-30, version 3.14* I have a problem forgetting the name of this particular house plant, that has a lovely scent and pretty flowers that start out pink and turn purple.

It has been a delightful help and seems to be quite accurate. I especially like how it rates its certainty on each identification. ### 5/5 — Instant identification *2026-06-14, version 3.14* No messing about! A very speedy result, I admit to some cynicism beforehand as to ease of use ### 5/5 — Easy to use for simpletons like me *2026-06-09, version 3.14* I’m a very novice gardener but I’m loving learning the names of plants through this app! ### 5/5 — Советую всем) *2026-06-07* Суперское приложение! Бесплатное, определяет точно, предлагает интересные статьи о растениях, работает без интернета (можно сохранить наблюдение, а определить потом), есть возможность присоединиться к проектам - помочь развитию ботаники! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-06-04, version 3.14* Excellent app. Helped me to identify plants. ### 5/5 — Flora *2026-06-03, version 3.14* Excellent ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Не определят *2026-05-30* Плохо ### 1/5 — Used to be my favoutapp *2026-05-17, version 3.14* I don’t know what’s happened to this app. What ever it is has been a disaster. The app now return nothing useful. Is it broken? Do I need to pay? Avoid. I’m writing this as I prepare to delete this app for good. ### 1/5 — Poor *2025-05-11, version 3.11.4* If you’re not careful, your observations will be deleted without your approval ### 1/5 — Trying to identify *2025-04-23, version 3.11.1* I find this apps difficult to understand ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-09-30, version 3.10* This app froze and locked up my phone as soon as I downloaded and opened this app. I restarted my phone and the app lags and catches and freezes and glitches out. It also can’t identify plants correctly. For the moment when it actually tried to work properly it completely had no idea the correct plant name of house plant I tried to test it on. I deleted this app indefinitely. Boo ### 1/5 — Good idea but far too buggy to be useful *2021-06-14, version 2.9* Good idea but far too buggy to be useful ### 2/5 — Floral Incognita is a great app if you live outside of the United States. *2026-06-01, version 3.14* Floral Incognita is a great app if you live outside of the United States. However for those of us in the U.S., the descriptions often do not apply to us. For example, plants such as Lesser Celandine do not have anything in the description about how extraordinarily invasive this plant is in the U.S. All of the plants on the Invasive List in my state have absolutely nothing negative described about them, simply because this app is based out of Germany, and those plants may not be invasive there. ### 2/5 — Handy way to resolve disputes! *2026-05-27, version 3.14* So useful when out walking and the (almost) inevitable argument starts about the names of plants encountered en route. Our rural rambles are much more enjoyable as a result! ### 2/5 — Отвратительное *2026-05-06* Сколько раз пробовала, ни разу не узнает растения. ### 3/5 — Средняя точность *2026-08-08* В моих случаях мало попаданий. Возможно ставлю сложные задачи. Редкости не узнает(( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Класс! *2026-08-31, version 3.15* Очень удобное приложение. Особенно когда делаешь топосъемки и надо определить пароль дерева, кустарника. ### 5/5 — Great help *2026-08-28, version 3.15* Great for identifying plants especially when sprung up unexpectedly in the garden. ### 5/5 — First time user *2026-08-25, version 3.15* Very helpful and accurate ### 5/5 — Super *2026-08-12* Спасибо огромное за ценную информацию и приложение!!! ### 5/5 — Чудо *2026-08-12* Приложение очень крутое всем советую!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2026-08-09, version 3.14* Use it often on hikes and around my property. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-03, version 3.14* It’s fun ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-07-31, version 3.14* Amazing ### 5/5 — Работает *2026-07-29* Определяет вид, но не сорт ### 5/5 — World-opening *2026-07-19, version 3.14* An amazing world-opening app that I wish I’d got sooner! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
