### 1/5 — Take a leaf sample to your local nursery instead

*2020-02-15, version 1.1*

Now I know my leaf samples are 79% diseased with some mystery illness, LOL. Why is this even in the App Store?!?!

### 1/5 — No help.  Worthless

*2020-02-02, version 1.1*

Says the my plant is diseased.  That I knew.  Now tell me what it is and what i can do about it.

### 1/5 — Photo of a dead leaf=healthy

*2019-05-18, version 1.1*

Doesn't work

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2016-08-05*

Not worth the time to download

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2025-07-09*

I genuinely have no idea how to use this app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-10-13, version 1.1*

The app tells me everything is healthy. No matter the threshold, no matter the plant. Some of the plants I KNOW are sick. App doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Leaf Doctor.

*2021-09-17, version 1.1*

As above review, no instructions, all leafs have same score healthy or not. 
Terrible app.

### 1/5 — Useless, does not work.

*2021-09-14, version 1.1*

I scanned the leaves of an avocado tree that I know is failing, the app said that it is 100% healthy.

### 1/5 — Photo of a dead leaf was described as healthy 🤣🤣🤣

*2021-04-22, version 1.1*

Lol, it said the photo a dead leaf on my parlour palm was healthy.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2021-03-11, version 1.1*

Keeps coming back 100% healthy every time yet leaves are clearly half dead and half eaten away!

### 1/5 — Who can read the instructions

*2021-01-31, version 1.1*

Why are the instructions in grey?  They are small font and hard to read. At least, if they were in black I could read them.

### 1/5 — Waste of time.

*2020-08-25, version 1.1*

Don’t bother using. Tried with 2 different photos of leaves with black spots all over them, both said 100% healthy!

### 1/5 — Not sure what the point of this is.

*2020-07-31, version 1.1*

Could not work out what to do, took photo, it analysed every plant as 0% healthy.  Even the ones that are in full bloom and in excellent condition.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2020-07-23, version 1.1*

Obviously diseased leaves are listed as “100% healthy”

### 5/5 — Read the description folks

*2022-06-09, version 1.1*

If you want a diagnosis and assistance with control, see your local county extension agent. If you need to quantify the % leaf area containing lesions using an iPad then use this. Glad this is available. I am going to try it out and see if it can assist technicians with conducting ratings.

### 4/5 — Useful for Ag professionals

*2025-12-10, version 1.1*

This app is helpful for quickly quantifying the severity of disease lesions on plant tissue for use in determining treatment thresholds.

### 3/5 — My Aloe plant

*2022-05-03, version 1.1*

There is something wrong with my Aloe and I figured that this app could tell me what was wrong with it and how to fix it. Instead, it told me that my plant was healthy when it obviously is not.

### 2/5 — Didn’t help with diagnosis

*2018-06-07, version 1.1*

Now I know that my tomato leaf is 49% diseased with a mystery illness.
