User reviews

What in the actual F?!

This is a complete piece of crap app. Do not waste your $0.99 on it. Worthless. Not even basic functionality. -10 stars

I don’t know why so much hate

I don’t understand why there’s so much hate for this app, it’s simple, provides enough information for my brain to digest for the wilderness and lets me know what I can eat. Perfect for me at-least.

Great Foraging App

Ideal as a quick reference when out and about, photos are clear, descriptions or how to prepare or leave alone. I particularly like the Red Banner which contains the words of caution.

Useless

Don’t waste your money!

Rip off!!!

It couldn’t even identify bitter melon! The app also wants to charge you for extra “packs” of 10 plant id’s, each pack is an additional $.99 each!!! I should have listened to the original reviewer who said it was thin. Don’t waste your money. This app is very unintuitive and inflexible. Uninstalled immediately.

Response from developer

Thanks for telling me it does not identify a plant that does not even grow properly in the country I am from and that I do not consider a wild food. I am trying to provide an App that identifies plants that are generally considered weeds and not usually cultivated. Bitter lemon is cultivated and so in my humble opinion does not belong in my App.
