I use it weekly and am happy to support the hard work and research that has gone into it. ### 5/5 — 🌱 *2025-10-20* Love! But can we get a favorite button of a way to make files? ### 5/5 — Outstanding app and well worth the money. *2025-10-03* This app is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the flora of Minnesota. ### 5/5 — National maps please *2023-08-21* This app is excellent for identifying midwestern plants (including trees!). It includes nearly all the information you might need: is it native? Invasive? Common names? And helpful hints for identification and comparison. My only complaint is the app doesn’t show national distribution maps, which are on the website. Those of us in Minnesota-adjacent states (I’m in northern Michigan) would truly appreciate seeing those. ### 4/5 — Amazing and rich resource that could use some QOL upgrades *2023-08-20* I use this app daily, but could improve in a few regards: -A “favorites” button would be great -Clickable family/genus to follow back up the taxonomy would be great -in the advanced search, closing the selection “flower color” for example, after selecting it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! Once the website reaches 1800 plant profiles, the app will be updated with QOL upgrades as well as 90 additional plant profiles. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-08-02* Love this app-work in a public garden and reference this and the website often. The only thing I wish it had was a way to favorite plants so I have a custom list to reference. ### 5/5 — Best app for beginning botanists *2023-06-11, version 1.3.7* This app has been a lifesaver. ### 5/5 — Thankful for this information *2022-06-18* Like so many, I have been deeply moved by the inspirational call to action expressed in Douglas Tallamy’s books. This app and website have served as a treasure trove of information in my journey to learn about MN’s native plants for my own personal growth as well as for landscaping purposes. So much love and hard work has been invested in this tool. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! ### 3/5 — Please *2022-05-28, version 1.3.7* Love this app. PLEASE add a heart or save button. I’m gathering information for planting. ### 5/5 — A Botanist’s Dream *2022-02-08* I love this app for giving me quick access to great photos when trying to make an ID in the field. It’s especially useful for off-season features like buds, which don’t figure prominently in most guides or keys. ## Frequently asked questions about Minnesota Wildflowers Info. ### What is Minnesota Wildflowers Info?
