## What is FlowerChecker, plant identify?

This app provides plant identification service. You simply take a picture of an unknown plant (or moss, lichen and even fungi) and get it identified by international team of experts.

The identification process is not computer-based, it requires human involvement. Therefore each identification is paid using in-app purchase. One plant identification costs 1 USD / 0.7 EUR. If we can't identify your plant, you don't pay anything.

Everybody gets three identification credits for free as a trial.

Our team will respond as soon as possible, but the identification usually takes minutes or hours. So far, we have been able to identify 90% plants in average.

### 1/5 — Read the entire app before buying

*2020-06-27, version 2.0*

.99 gets you 3 identifications.  After that you pay for each identification.

### 1/5 — IF I HAD KNOWN

*2020-05-18, version 2.0*

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

### 2/5 — Couldn’t identify

*2020-05-10, version 2.0*

A shrub that is common in my region
Disappointing

### 1/5 — :(

*2020-03-27, version 2.0*

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

### 2/5 — Sorry,  but a bit bunk

*2019-12-12, version 2.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Have to use Google

*2019-10-02, version 2.0*

I hate that I can’t use this app without logging into my Google account. I don’t like doing that and there’s no way around it. They should’ve put that in the description because I would’ve never purchased it.

### 1/5 — Just realized identification is done by a human being.

*2019-09-03, version 2.0*

AI based may be as good now.

### 1/5 — Must Authenticate With Google

*2019-08-07, version 2.0*

I refuse to use any app that requires authentication via Google or some other 3rd party. There seems to be no other way to use this app. I want my 99 cents back.

### 5/5 — Worth every penny and every minute waiting

*2019-07-06, version 2.0*

My husband and I are self taught plant lovers.  We generally know our own local flora.  But when we travel we observe magnificent new species.  Sometimes we can sleuth and accomplish a confident identification.  Sometimes we need help.  We love having the expert assistance of the botanists who work with flower checker.  With our additional research 100% of the identifications received have been correct.  Worth every penny and every minute waiting!!

### 1/5 — Could not identify on first use:(

*2019-06-28, version 2.0*

I sent the pictures as requested, answer, “unable to identify” !!! What?  Isn’t this what you do??????
