User reviews

Essential for Michiganders

When I walk in nature, I prefer to use this over other apps like Seek. It provides so much more information than similar apps. Highly recommend!

Only 1 picture per Flora plant.

Only has one picture. Minimum required to identify plants is 4. 1 flower 2 leaf 3 bark/stalk 4 close/farway

Response from developer

The app comes with only one picture per species by default, in order to save space on your phone. If you have more room and would like to download additional images, you can use the "Download Additional Images" option in the Information tab.

Great for plant geeks!

This app was created by the folks who support research at U-M’s LSA Technology Services. It’s great for scientists and informed amateurs who can navigate the world of science names and terminology and want to explore the flora of the Great Lakes State!
