Don’t waste your time with this app. ### 5/5 — Wow *2023-07-03* What an awesome app! I used it to identify all my wife’s plants that she keeps around the house. Now I use it every where I go to learn more about plants . This app is fast and accurate. I love using it. I would love for them to identity edible and non-edible plants, plants and medicinals use, etc. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-07-03* We have several plants that were already on our property when we bought it. We’ve bought books, searched online, and perused magazines, but were never able to identify them. This app identified the plants in a few seconds, and we couldn’t be more pleased! ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!! *2023-07-03* I absolutely love this app it is extremely helpful with my plants I even find myself using it on long walls when I see a pretty tree or flower I just snap a picture and when I’m home I look at what it is, I use this app a lot and I recommend it to anyone all you need is a phone, ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2023-07-03* This app accurately identified 24 various plants, weeds and such in a matter of minutes. It shows you other pictures of the same plants so you’re able to confirm the accuracy of its attributions. ### 5/5 — My favorite app! *2023-07-03* I rarely take the time to review apps but this one is pretty amazing! I love horticulture and arboriculture, and I have tried a couple other apps like this. This one is hands down the best I have used! I play with this app on every walk and hike I go on and it has helped me id a ton of stuff with probably a ~90% accuracy. ### 5/5 — George from Gville *2023-07-02* App is very quick and hopefully accurate! I am surprised by what I have learned. Only have done 18 queries, but enjoy the uncomplicated interface, snap a pic and it starts working! ### 5/5 — George from Gville *2023-07-02* App is very quick and hopefully accurate!

I’m impressed with the breadth of the database and I enjoy the info that accompanies each identified photo. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2024-11-16* There is no option to cancel my premium subscription to this app. I am highly disappointed.

No user guide that I can find. ### 1/5 — Just cheat money *2024-06-27* U try and then u can’t cancel it, just cheat money . Cannot identify mushroom at all ### 1/5 — If I could give a negative point I would *2024-06-26* This paid for app it inefficient! ### 1/5 — If i ok could give 0 stars I would. *2024-02-18, version 1.4.0* DO NOT TRUST THIS APP - HIGHLY INACCURATE - ### 1/5 — No good for uk *2023-11-22, version 1.3.9* Can’t unsubscribe from “free” trial.

I use it everyday and it helps a lot. It also helps in my garden so only pull out what should be removed ### 5/5 — A must have for any aspiring gardener *2023-07-05* So far 100% on spot when given photos of cultivated plants I put in the garden as seedlings. Helped me identify some invasive weedy wildflowers. The jury is still out on help with diseases but so far we’ll worth the price of admission. ### 5/5 — Coolest app ever! *2023-07-05* Title says it all. I was curious about this small bush/tree in my front lawn. I said to my roommate I wish there was an app that could identify plants, he goes, “there is”. He suggested this app and its beyond cool. Currently in my backyard identifying all the peppers I'm growing and it even gives you advice on how to take care of the plants! Incredibly helpful for a beginner like me. Sure it’s 25 for a year but I didn’t even flinch at the price once I realized the power this app has. Living in the future is pretty great. 10/10 best app of all time ### 5/5 — I was skeptical *2023-07-05* At first I didn’t really think this was possible but after using it for a while and getting great results I’m hooked! Going on hikes with my son has become a lesson in botany that we are both enjoying very much. Great app! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2023-07-05* We have a lovely plant near our house that friends wanted to buy for themselves but we didn’t know what it was. It was an unusual plant that we as experienced gardeners couldn’t identify. I got this app and it accurately identified it! Our friends were able to find an online nursery to purchase it ### 5/5 — So fun! *2023-07-04* Rarely do I purchase apps. MushroomAI is a winner! We’re spending a ton of time in the woods due to the pandemic, and we now can identify many beautiful wildflowers and trees we never knew before. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Excellent tool! *2023-07-04* I signed up for MushroomAI a year ago and was disappointed with its lack of ability to identify my plants. Almost a year later (planning to cancel my membership) I opened the app again to check if there had been any improvement and have been amazed. MushroomAI has identified plants it classified “unidentified” a year ago and many more in this last month. My membership will continue! Thank you, MushroomAI! ### 5/5 — Incredible App *2023-07-04* I’m not a green thumb kinda guy but I do try. This app has helped me with whatever is wrong with the few plants I do have merely from the pix I take of it. ### 5/5 — Best app ever! *2023-07-04* This app is the most useful App I have! Just take a picture of any plant and it tells you what it is and give all the info you need.
