## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — needs update for ios14

*2020-11-26*

will not run in ios 14

### 1/5 — I’d give it 0 stars if possible

*2020-11-09*

Not a single weed in my yard (and I’ve got a lot) or in the spare block next to me are in these lists, I tried searching their scientific name, common name, scrolled through the lists and nothing.
Here are some that I’ve identified that aren’t in the app:

Purslane/Portuluca - not there.
Summer grass (digitaria Sanguinalis) - not there.
Mallow (Malva Parviflora) not there.
Lamb’s tongue/plantain (plantago ianceolata) not there.
Cape weed (arctotheca calendula) not there.

I don’t recognise a single weed from the pictures on the app and I set my location to my exact city. Waste of time downloading

### 2/5 — Needs a description based search

*2024-08-05*

This is great if you know what you are looking for by name. It is disappointing that there is no option to search by description or type (shrub, vine, etc). The thumbnails are too small to find the weeds easily by how they look. I’d love to see these improvements to the app.

### 2/5 — Not so good

*2023-08-23*

You have to know what the weed is before looking it up. There are no filters options to narrow a search e.g. ground cover, blue flower etc.
Also the picture library of the weeds featured is quite limited.
Good info on each species is included but don’t expect the app to make it easy to search for and identify a weed

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2021-07-17*

Interface is good, search tool is good, but the pictures are to low in resolution to see anything more that green blobs, we need multiple pictures for each weed, I.e. the whole plant, the actual leaves in same scale as if you were looking in person. It’s also missing Capeweed, this weed basically covers all public places and most yards in the Newcastle area.

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2015-10-30*

I use this tool often to search plant names and photos. Very useful.

### 5/5 — Such a handy App!

*2021-06-11*

This App is so handy. I use it all the time to find out the most up to date information about weeds and their control. If anyone asks me about weeds, I tell them they should get this App.

### 5/5 — Love the update

*2021-03-04*

New version is great. Less bugs and a much better look

### 5/5 — Great resource for farmers and gardeners alike

*2018-05-06*

Very informative resource. Ability to search by region. Fantastic and extensive control methods. 100% recommend this ap.

### 5/5 — Brilliant.

*2015-03-13*

Very very helpful.

## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Comprehensive & functional

*2015-02-26*

I was very impressed. Relevant serious weeds for favourite districts are easy to find. The app mimics the web page and information is available away from phone towers.
