Not very good

I have regretted subscribing to this app. It constantly gets grass identification wrong and every problem with my lawn exactly the same response that I knew already.
The adverts are very misleading

No use

This does not work as advertised don’t even bother with the free trial. I took five pictures of my lawn and the weeds on my lawn and all it did is continue to tell me Bluegrass… It was completely not helpful. Don’t waste your time!

Not helpful

I paid $1.99 for a month but used it less than 5 minutes. My grass is obviously sick with brown patches everywhere. This app gave me no new information and did not indicate the grass was needed help. What a waste. Wish I could get my trial money back.

Poorly Designed

There are no controls in the app to manage subscription. It automatically charged me $39.99 after the free trial without a warning. Acknowledged my cancellation but charged me anyway.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to leave a message. App Store charges are handled by Apple, so the subscription is also managed via your Apple account. The Terms of use of Apples subscriptions states that if you don't want to be charged cancel 24 hours before the renewal. If you have other questions, please reach us at https://apps.wizarddynamics.com/contact. We read every message and we'll do what we can.

Scam

Do not buy or download

Response from developer

Hi PE ed, thanks for taking the time to leave a message. We get that something let you down here, and we're not a scam. App Store charges are handled by Apple, so a refund can be requested at reportaproblem.apple.com. If something in the app broke for you, reach us at https://apps.wizarddynamics.com/contact and tell us what happened. We read every message and we'll do what we can.

Canceled the free trial and still get charged for a whole year .Beware

Cancelled days before it ends the trial still get charged

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the frustration. Apple requires a trial to be cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends, otherwise their system still bills the first period, even if you cancelled days earlier. Refunds for that charge are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. If you hit any trouble, reach us at https://apps.wizarddynamics.com/contact and we'll guide you through it.

Rubbish app

Took scan of the grass which then takes you to a warning page about how they use AI. From there nothing, it freezes. Just trying to work out how to delete the 7 day free trial so I don’t get charged at the end of it.

Response from developer

Hi Terry, thanks for letting us know, and sorry the scan froze on you. That's a bug, not how it should work, and we're on it. To stop the trial: open iPhone Settings, tap your name, go to Subscriptions, select Grass Identifier, then Cancel. You won't be charged if you cancel before day 7. If you'd like to give it another go after the fix, reach us at https://apps.wizarddynamics.com/contact. Thanks again for flagging the freeze.

Fraud

Fraud !!! This app doesn’t work and when you cancel before the 7 days you will still be charged. It gives incorrect information. Do not purchase this item !!!

Response from developer

Thanks for your review, and we're sorry for the frustration. Subscriptions and trials are handled through your Apple ID and must be cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends in your iPhone's Subscription settings. If you believe you were charged in error, please email us, we're happy to help and look into any refund. We'd also love to hear what information seemed incorrect so we can improve. Thank you for giving us the chance to make it right.

Did not do what it said it would hand I already paid for it. VERY DISAPPOINTED.!

Did not do what it said it would do and have already paid for it.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry for the inconvenience. To help us resolve this, could you tell us a bit more about what didn't work as expected? Please reach out to us at https://apps.wizarddynamics.com/contact so we can look into it right away and find a solution or arrange a refund if needed.

Very Nice

As someone who puts alot of effort into my garden and lawn this was a very helpful companion

Response from developer

Hi AdamC1965, thank you, this made our day. Love that it's helping with the garden and lawn. If there's ever a feature that would make it even more useful out there, tell us at https://apps.wizarddynamics.com/contact. Happy growing.

ROBBERY

As a lawn fertilizer technician I have customers that have mentioned this app. So I thought I would give it a try! But first I needed to pay the $12.99 a month subscription. Okay so I take a picture of my perfect lawn AND the app INCORRECTLY ID my grass… it said I have perennial rye grass. It’s fescue and some Kentucky blue. Then it tells me to fertilize it? It was treated like 2 weeks ago it can’t get anymore N for a few weeks. Save your $13 hire a technician if you want a nice lawn. This app is totally worthless

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest feedback, this is exactly the kind of input that helps us improve. Lawn care is nuanced, and a generic recommendation engine can't replace the judgment of an experienced technician like yourself. That's actually why we'd love to hear more from you. We're working hard to make the app a useful tool for pros and homeowners alike. If you'd be open to a short conversation, we'd like to learn more on how this app could become more useful, refine our fertilization logic around recent treatments, and explore whether there's a way the app could genuinely support technicians in the field. If you are open to it, please reach out to us at manuel@worlitzer.de - your expertise could elevate the quality of the app and together we could provide something really valuable for casual lawn enthusiasts and maybe even experts like yourself.

Grass

Zero help! For what i scan the grass and for what it gives me suggestions are totally wrong!
Useless!
Time waste!

Response from developer

We hear you and we're sorry the scan results missed the mark. Misidentifications and off-base care suggestions are exactly the kind of failures we're working to fix. If you're open to it, please send the photo and your location to manuel@worlitzer.de; we'd like to investigate what went wrong. Your feedback genuinely helps us improve the model.

Charged for the free trial, camera scan does not work

Tapped for the free trial and immediately charged. “Scan” does not work, just gives an error. Terrible experience need a refund

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the message, and sorry for the rough first experience. The scan giving an error is a bug, not how it should work, and we're fixing it. On the charge: trials bill through Apple, and a refund can be requested at reportaproblem.apple.com. If you reach us at https://apps.wizarddynamics.com/contact, we'll help you sort the scan issue and make sure you're set up right. Thanks for flagging both.

Inconsistent Results

The only reason I rated Grass Identifier as three stars is because it has good Care information. It is not good at doing what it is supposed to do - identify grass. I’ve taken pictures of the same grass and it gives me three different results. Often identifying a wide blade grass as a thin blade type.
I had high hopes for this app, but it just isn’t very good.

Response from developer

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for the honest 3 stars. You've put your finger on a real weakness: inconsistent results on the same lawn shouldn't happen, and our model still confuses blade widths more often than we'd like. We're actively retraining on more diverse grass samples to fix exactly this. If you'd be willing to share a couple of your photos with us at manuel@worlitzer.de, they'd directly help us improve. Glad the care info has been useful in the meantime.

Inaccurate identification

I had high hopes for this app, got the 1 month premium subscription to try it out before commiting to the one year. It identified my St Augustine grass as Bermuda grass several times, and not a single time did it say it is St Augustine. This app can be really helpful due to its other features but it needs some work to get accurate IDs.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the inaccurate identification. We’re continuously improving the model, and with more scans and real-world data, accuracy in these edge cases keeps getting better, so thank you for this feedback. Distinguishing between St. Augustine and Bermuda can be quite challenging, as they share similar color and growth patterns, while key differences (like blade width and texture) are not always clearly visible in photos depending on angle, lighting, or mowing. We appreciate you pointing this out and are glad you still see value in the app.

Incorrect identification

Kept identifying my st Augustine grass as Bermuda grass

Response from developer

Thanks for pointing this out! We will keep this misidentification in mind. Feedback like yours helps us train and improve the model so it gets more accurate over time. We’re constantly working on updates to make identifications better and more reliable.

Works Great

Identifies Grass very well. Happy with purchase.

Response from developer

Thank you so much!

Works!

I am working a lot with Grass and no mistakes so far!

Response from developer

Thank you for this feedback!

Very good!

I‘ve downloaded quite a few grass and plant identifiers and this seems to be the most accurate and reliable so far

Response from developer

Thanks, we try to get better every day!

limited use allowed

Unless you pay money, it only allows ONE scan per day. That doesn't encourage anyone to purchase it!

Response from developer

We hear you and we made some adjustments! You're right and we heard it a couple of times: Free users should get more scans. Right now, we got approval to raise the free limit to 3 free scans for new users in addition to getting one free scan every day. We'll experiment with this threshold and if it's financially sustainable (covering API, development costs etc.) we will consider raising the free threshold even more! Thanks so much for your valuable feedback!! Update coming within the next week or two!
