Satisfies the need to know!

I love this app, whenever I’m walking and see a plant and don’t know what it is —especially if it’s considered a weed — PictureThis reliably identifies it. I don’t generally need care, advice, but it also provides it.

Unreliable

I have an unhealthy Lantana that this app first said was basil then scorpions tail and four times could not identify it. Useless!

Handy garden helper

I love this app, easy to use and a great help identifying mystery scattered seeds when they flower.

Do not buy

Terrible app! Every identifier option misreads and misdiagnoses literally everything. PictureThis - Plant Identifier is 100% not worth spending money on, let alone downloading. Wish I could get my money back and get this waste of storage off my phone.

Useless Info

Took a picture of some plants and did not provide any information on how to get rid of them. Just take a picture and ask Chat GPT.
