You can’t get out of you’re leaf library thing because it asks you if you want to buy the premium edition and if you hit the x to get out it will just take you back to the library. So basically don’t save you leafs into you’re library because you wont be able to scan a leaf again! Pretty mid. ### 1/5 — Developer Disappoints Early Users with In-App Purchases *2024-07-27, version 1.2.5* The developer has set prices for the full versions of many of their software applications, or offers them for free with a time limit. After some time, they quietly add in-app purchases, making it impossible to use the software without these purchases. For early buyers of the software, this feels like a form of deception. ### 1/5 — Got it wrong *2024-06-29, version 1.2.4* Got the plant wrong ### 2/5 — Did not work *2024-06-09, version 1.2.4* Tried simple beech tree leaves. App just sits there, scanning with no way to cancel. If it locks up on first easy task I’m out. I deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Decepcionamente *2024-03-23* Consegui pegar o aplicativo em uma promoção em 2022 quando ainda era uma compra única sem compras dentro do aplicativo, mas quando perdi o meu celular antigo perdi também o acesso ilimitado que eu tinha, agora sendo obrigado a assinar! Péssimo! Adorava o aplicativo, e super recomendava. Perderam um apoiador inicial ### 3/5 — 已加内购了 *2024-03-21, version 1.2.2* 已经加入内购买了 ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2024-01-08, version 1.2.2* Used it a few times then it stopped. Says I need a subscription now at £3.00 a week! ### 1/5 — Pro Version turnes Subscription model *2023-09-25* Owned the pro version but know in need to subscribe? What a scam ### 1/5 — Spy App *2023-09-23, version 1.2.1* this app automatic access to the IOS File and scan the documents on File App. ### 3/5 — 2.99 per week *2023-07-21, version 1.2.1* Just know the fee is 2.99 per week. That’s $155 per year. ### 1/5 — This app not working *2023-06-15, version 1.2.1* At this time I would definitely would not recommend this app. Down load the app because of high reviews. I did two different leaves under the free trial time. The ap did a great job on those two, because a friend of us confirmed that the app was exactly correct. So I went ahead am/was willing to pay for the subscription- big mistake (at this point). As soon I brought up the app (with subscription mind you) it quit working. Looks like I will cancel my subscription and delete app yet today or tomorrow unless company can notify me as to what went wrong. Just terrible- now wondering if positive reviews are totally bogus. This is why rating is a 1 star. No thank you until unless they get this fixed. ### 2/5 — More misses than hits *2023-05-28, version 1.2.1* I was excited to try this app and was disappointed immediately. it incorrectly ID’d 3 of the first 5 plants I tried and got stuck in a scan loop with the 4th. Correctly identifying 1 out of 5 isn’t very good. Then it stopped working—apparently I’m supposed to sign up for a $/week subscription. Huh? Maybe my problem is that I’m trying to ID wildflowers? The app did get the common garden flower I tried right. Worse for me, though, is that the app apparently requires an active Internet connection, and those can be hard to come by in remote places. ### 1/5 — Auf einmal soll ich zahlen. *2023-05-28* Hatte bereits die pro Version . Jetzt soll ich nochmal zahlen. Frechheit ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2023-05-24, version 1.2* Was $2.99. Now they want a weekly subscription. ### 2/5 — Subscription based *2023-05-23, version 1.2* Took one picture and it worked well. Was never able to use it again without be prompted to purchase a weekly subscription. For the few times I will use it it wouldn’t be worth 155 dollars a year ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Payant *2026-05-28* Inutilisable sans abonnement ### 1/5 — Paywall after first leaf. Do NOT Download, not worth it. *2026-01-04, version 2.3.3* It incorrectly identifies leaves and after the first leaf the entire app is behind a subscription paywall. I’d recommend the app “PictureThis” or google lens over this app. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-11-11, version 2.3.3* App puts you in a loop to accept the free trial or skip, if you skip takes you back to the start, awful. ### 1/5 — do not buy *2025-10-23, version 2.3.3* almost always wrong and app crashes constantly ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-04-18, version 2.2.3* Definitely uninstalled. Not free anymore. Waste of space. ### 1/5 — Ne marche plus depuis le printemps 2025 *2025-04-10* L’application ne marche plus, après la photo, elle crash ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-02-09, version 2.1* Had this app for years, easy to use and very informative. Really enjoyed its easy to use format. Suddenly then had to pay. Nil response when emailing for assistance. ### 1/5 — Greedy dev has ruined this app *2024-10-24, version 1.2.5* £150 a year to use the app, who’d be crazy enough to pay for that? App is unusable without a subscription so look elsewhere. I’ll be deleting this from my phone right away. ### 1/5 — Sehr schlechte Erkennung *2024-10-17* Die App hat nach vielen Versuchen nur eine Pflanze richtig erkannt, sonst waren es Fehlgriffe. ### 1/5 — Not a free App *2024-10-09, version 1.2.5* Only downloaded because I searched free apps. Used this once then it starts trying to get money from ya. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 为何无法使用内置拍照功能？ *2025-09-07* 为何无法使用内置拍照功能？ 为何无法使用内置拍照功能？ 为何无法使用内置拍照功能？ ### 5/5 — Very good, accurate *2025-06-25, version 2.3.1* Tried this on several known species and found it remarkably accurate.

And thanks again.
