Otherwise, I’m loving the app and I use it more than most of the other apps I have ### 2/5 — Disappointed in the summer *2026-08-17, version 5.69.0* I got this app in Nov-Dec last year and initially I was very happy with it. It gave me reminders to water, fertilize and provided advices how to tackle problems. Now we are in August and the app went bunkers. It tells me to water my plants every day. Yes, I live in Texas, but those are indoors plants! I started seeing water sitting in the pots, little flies and rotten smell. I dumped all water, let the soil dry and scheduled reminders on paid AI subscription. This app needs an improvement. ### 4/5 — Good but expensive *2026-08-16, version 5.69.0* It's a good app but there are free ones ### 2/5 — Research First *2026-08-16, version 5.69.0* Does a great job of identifying plants even when very young. But don’t listen to its advise on care or remedies, it often gives terrible advice, to do things that are not only not recommended but can injure or kill your plants. A simple google search is safer. ### 2/5 — Billed immediately for a free trial *2026-08-16, version 5.69.0* I clicked to sign up for a 7-day free trial but the annual fee came out immediately. ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-08-15, version 5.69.0* Love it ### 3/5 — Good plant identification, but *2026-08-15, version 5.69.0* The main reason I downloaded this app was to find out the best way to care for my plants, but I found out that the pay-wall put in place prevented me from that I was disappointed. Although I might still use the app on my hikes, I won’t use it on my garden. ### 4/5 — Learning *2026-08-15, version 5.69.0* This is great learning what we have around and why things aren’t doing well. Trying what they’re telling me to do ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-15, version 5.69.0* I use it to identify plants, trees and shrubs when I’m out walking and, when plant shopping in the spring, to see if a particular flower or shrub is suitable for the location I have in mind. It’s also great to ID poison ivy in our woods or when walking the dog. It’s definitely worth the cost. ### 5/5 — Okokok *2026-08-15, version 5.69.0* 😂🤣🤣🤣 ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-08-15, version 5.69.0* This is still one of the most miraculous applications. We use it all the time to identify plants we want to get as well as ripping out nasty ones! ### 5/5 — For every gardener *2026-08-15, version 5.69.0* This app takes the guessing out of gardening. Love it on hikes when folks ask “what’s that plant”. Love it when I go to a nursery so I can check the health of a plant before I buy it. ### 5/5 — . *2026-08-15, version 5.69.0* . ### 5/5 — Garden *2026-08-15, version 5.69.0* Easy to use ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fraud *2026-08-18, version 5.69.0* Cancelled before subscription started and they still been taking out of bank Bank will sort it ### 1/5 — Killed my Japanese Pine *2026-08-17, version 5.69.0* Tried their suggested cure for my tree and it died after two applications. ### 1/5 — Lies. *2026-08-17, version 5.69.0* Said the tree was sick then when I paid, it said the tree was healthy. What a joke. ### 1/5 — Cannot identify a Gem Squash *2026-08-16, version 5.69.0* It’s keeps identifying a gem squash as a field pumpkin even though it’s clearly a gem ### 1/5 — Not Free *2026-08-16, version 5.69.0* Only free for trial period. ### 1/5 — Not Worth So Much Money *2026-08-16, version 5.69.0* Maybe if it were 99 cents per month but it's really not worth it!!! ### 1/5 — European Plum my backside *2026-08-14, version 5.69.0* Identified a weed sprouting all over my lawn as European Plum. Really! What a waste! ### 1/5 — Why does it have to be this way? *2026-08-14, version 5.69.0* So I was just browsing in the app for no reason like literally and then I just wanted to take a picture of the kitchen floor and see what would happen so I did and it said corn plant. Why would the kitchen floor be a corn plant literally like it isn’t even a corn plant. It’s a floor. floors are made of cement like plastic or even like wood, there not even living. so then after seeing that funn they d y result, I took a picture of the island and then what it said next was coconut. Why would a island be a coconut aren’t even yummy. They don’t have coconut milk inside. I’m sorry, but this was a big mistake ### 1/5 — Didn’t want annual subscription *2026-08-14, version 5.69.0* My card was automatically charged for an annual subscription without confirmation of what plan I wanted. The app is not free. ### 1/5 — no renewal notification. *2026-08-13, version 5.69.0* gave me NO warning about renewal 🗑️👎 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-08-24, version 5.70.0* Brilliant product. Adds to my knowledge, interest and success as a not so talented home gardener and bush walker in Australia. Thank you! product for ### 5/5 — The most useful app in your phone *2026-08-18, version 5.69.0* This app is invaluable. Identify any plant. It’s perfect ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-18, version 5.69.0* Probably one of the best apps I have ever purchased.

They sent a lovely response and explained everything, given the customer service received, I might give this another go. Thank you ### 5/5 — Just started *2026-08-17, version 5.69.0* I just started using this app and so far it’s been fabulous. I have about 170 plants that are in my garden-different rooms and what not. It was time-consuming, but I did take a picture, diagnosed, and set on their water reminder schedule. boy, I’ve been watering things incorrectly and typically way too often. I have noticed improvements already in the few weeks that I’ve been using it. I am very confident it will be everything I am expecting. ### 5/5 — An incredible wealth of information at your fingertips! *2026-08-16, version 5.69.0* Great app for all the plants,fruits, veggies, herbs, trees and vines in your area You’ll be amazed what you’ll learn! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-08-16, version 5.69.0* I use this when traveling to learn new flowers and herbs. Also helps to identify backyard plants. ### 5/5 — Improves as it grows *2026-08-16, version 5.69.0* Over several years of use, PictureThis continues to offer accurate enhanced data for more species of plants. It has grown. I am looking forward to how well the developers integrate AI to expand subject areas. ### 5/5 — Accurately identifies plants *2026-08-15, version 5.69.0* This is the first plant identifier I have found that is accurate.
