Difficult to get acceptable photos. Diagnosed healthy plants with disease. Contacted the developer with no response. Very unhappy I was charged money for this. **Developer response:** Hello. Can you tell us more about what you were trying to identify? ### 1/5 — NOT FREE *2025-05-14, version 1.16.9* You can’t do anything for free with App. Tried to take a photo of plant, and it immediately prompts a $9.99 mo subscription. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-12-13, version 1.16.6* Oooh ### 1/5 — Very disappointed - cancelled the app within minutes *2024-08-14, version 1.16.5* Very disappointed with this app. If you’re looking for an app to pinpoint what is wrong with your plant so you can address the problem.. this app will not help. It seems to only give a list of the many things that could be wrong! I cancelled it within minutes of buying it! ### 1/5 — This doc should be sued for malpractice. *2024-03-17, version 1.16.1* After scanning two plants that were diseased it gave me very similar, very vague descriptions of a problem. Suspicious, I scanned healthy plants and it also told me they were diseased. Why put effort into developing an app that is grossly inaccurate. ### 1/5 — Identify plant and explain how to fix the problems *2023-10-29, version 1.14.13* Your program offers no help in how to remedy its problems ### 1/5 — Useless!! *2023-10-23* I just downloaded it, paying $9.99 and scanned all my house plants, the only thing this app does - saying one phrase to all of them - “abiotic disorders are caused by non- living factors bla-bla like improper watering, planting conditions, nutrition deficiencies bla-bla”. Really? And how does this very vague sentence will help me? I can’t believe i just spent $10 to know it. I wish I could have my money back. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We are working to improve. ### 1/5 — I scanned a diseased plant but no advice given *2023-10-09, version 1.14.12* I guess I was expecting help with a diseased plant but no advice for helping plant survive was given?? Will probably cancel subscription. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Five stars for convenience *2025-11-24, version 1.9.4* Definitely five stars!—fast; convenient, beautiful, and helpful! ### 5/5 — Fun family gardening *2025-11-23, version 1.9.4* Even my child figured it out—now my daughter and I take care of the flowers together. ### 5/5 — Daily plant doctor *2025-11-22, version 1.9.4* My personal plant doctor. I use it every day! ### 5/5 — Missing fertilizer calendar *2025-11-19* I've been using it for a week—I like it, but I miss the fertilizer calendar feature. ### 5/5 — Quick plant info *2025-11-18* It's so easy to take a photo and immediately get the plant's name; care instructions, and how much light and water it needs. ### 5/5 — Early problem detection *2025-11-17* My plants used to get sick all the time, but now I notice problems early. Thanks for the tips and treatment advice. ### 5/5 — App helped me find pests *2025-11-15, version 1.9.4* I love this app. Now I know my ficus had pests, not just yellowed leaves. I took a photo and got an immediate diagnosis. ### 5/5 — Анастасия *2025-09-11* I appreciate the wealth of information available on houseplant care. This app has made me more confident in my ability to nurture my plants! ### 5/5 — 🔥 *2025-07-29* You can save the history for each plant - when you watered it, what you fertilized it with. Everything is under control ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-07-22, version 1.17* I love that you can keep a journal of your plants with photos.
