A tremendous resource
This app was well worth the purchase. I use it weekly and am happy to support the hard work and research that has gone into it.

Love! But can we get a favorite button of a way to make files?
Outstanding app and well worth the money.
This app is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the flora of Minnesota.
National maps please
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.

Amazing and rich resource that could use some QOL upgrades
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.

Amazing
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.
Best app for beginning botanists
This app has been a lifesaver.
Thankful for this information
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!

Please
Love this app. PLEASE add a heart or save button. I’m gathering information for planting.
A Botanist’s Dream
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.
Wonderful resource! One suggestion…
Love this app! It’s so essential as I’m working hard to transform my landscape to locally native plants. The information is both robust and easy to digest. One wish list item to make this app perfection - if there was a way to “save” specific plants to a list of some sort that the user could refer back to, like an Amazon shopping cart, that would be HEAVEN!

helpful tool in the field
Great app to have with you in the field, nice to have quick reference at your fingertips with no need for internet connection or bulky books (more botanical resources should do this!). filled with great information (just like the website) and the app is very streamlined and easy to use. love it
Love this app
I use it all the time. Well organized. Can use it in the garden as well as in the field -away from WiFi or cell data. ONLY complaint is that it must be updated to make use of Dark Mode. The text is too pale to see on the info pages when my phone switches to dark mode. Please Fix! UPDATE: quick response from developer! Well done. I will see how it looks tonight when dark mode kicks on.

One of the best apps I’ve purchased!
This is a great app for anyone who loves to learn about the local Minnesota plant life that surrounds them.
I absolutely love it. The app has grown my interest and knowledge of local Forbes and grasses.
There are great photos and excellent descriptions of many species.
I pair this with my iNaturalist app and it really is a great help!!!

Fast, amazing-best app ever
As an avid user of iNaturalist, I found myself going to the Minnesota wildflower website often. That information is amazingly all on this app, which works lightning fast. No more waiting for a page to load to get the awesome tips and tricks for a solid id. Bonus is the thorough discussions of sub species. Hats off to the creators of the website and app

Excellent App
A great resource. Clear technical descriptions in accessible format, good level of local detail. Use it in conjunction with a photo identifier app, such iNaturalist or Picture This, and you will have all you need in the field.
Absolutely worth the money!
The Minnesota range dot maps alone are worth the price! Well organized and very intuitive to use.
Great app!
I really enjoy this handy app. It’s like having a nature guide with you at all times!
Great for identifying plants on my walks
Great app
Wonderful resource for native plant lovers!
I love this site, including all the descriptions/pictures that help you identify both native plants as well as my “arch enemy” invasive species. Katy Chaya comments help with plant ID, and Peter Dziuk’s pictures are exceptional. My husband and I have 2 large native plantings (St Cloud home and Deer Lake cabin), and thus, resource is invaluable for us as we add new plants, and fight off crown vetch, buckthorn, canary reed, etc. keep up the excellent work!
