### 1/5 — Nothing will load

*2025-01-20*

No part of this app works, and I have tried downloading it on multiple devices. Whether I go through the plant identifier key, the search function, or try to access the full list, I just get the same error message that says “Database error: undefined.” Very disappointing as this seems like it could be a very useful app if it actually worked.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-06-12*

Touching any of the drop down options causes the app to crash.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work stuck in loading

*2024-02-05*

It doesn't work and stuck in loading stage in iPad. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Constant Crashes

*2023-08-25*

Crashes anytime you attempt to use a drop down menu to specify.

### 2/5 — 2 weeds no ID.

*2021-09-11*

I’m a diy. Give me results. Precision is not necessary. Show me pics of the closest weeds. I just need to know. A picture. Something

### 1/5 — Not very helpful

*2021-08-12*

Very disappointed

### 1/5 — Pictures don’t load

*2021-05-19*

Waste of time. Not all pictures load.  Also after you click to go back, it brings you to the top of the lists not back in the order where you were.

### 5/5 — Excellent tool

*2021-01-28*

This is a great non-linear identification key. Many times better than a dichotomous key.  I use this app constantly through the growing season at work.

### 2/5 — Poor Images

*2020-08-09*

The images with this app are fuzzy and frequently won’t show when clicked on. The technical jargon could use explanations.

### 1/5 — Missing many common weeds

*2018-06-04*

No info on the worst weeds in my backyard: Japanese knotweed and English Ivy.
