IF I HAD KNOWN

Would never have purchased IF I HAD KNOWN...... You have to access my Google Account to use, responses take up to 24 hours AND each inquiry is at an additional cost

:(

I needed this for identifying flowers while hiking, I find out now I have to wait up to 24 hours and I also have to pay to see the answer, on top of already paying for the app. Scams to make money.. tisk tisk

Sorry, but a bit bunk

I posted a photo of a plant, gave its location and a bit of background on what it was labeled as but how U believed it was mislabeled. The app ultimately told me it couldn't identify the plant; meanwhile within that 24-hour period I managed to identify it myself. Sorry, but not worth the download.

FAQ

What does FlowerChecker do?

FlowerChecker provides a plant identification service. You can take a picture of an unknown plant, moss, lichen, or fungi, and an international team of experts will identify it for you. This identification process is human-driven, not computer-based.

How does the identification process work?

The app utilizes an international team of experts for identification, which requires human involvement. After you submit a photo of the plant, the experts will analyze it and provide an identification. This process typically takes minutes or hours.

How much does plant identification cost?

Each plant identification is paid for using in-app purchases, costing 1 USD or 0.7 EUR per identification. However, if the app's experts are unable to identify your plant, you will not be charged anything.

Can I try the service for free?

Yes, every user receives three identification credits for free as a trial. This allows you to test the service and experience the expert identification process before making any purchases.

What types of organisms can be identified?

The app can identify not only plants but also moss, lichen, and even fungi. The service aims to provide comprehensive identification for a wide range of botanical and mycological specimens.
