Tested on plants I know and those answers were wrong too. It can’t be trusted. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-06-15, version 1.0.3* You never get to the snap a photo part- stuck reading reviews and nothing else ### 1/5 — Why you said it is free and no option available to buy it for free!!! *2025-06-15, version 1.0.3* There is no option to select at the very bottom right of the paywall to redeem: there is only a yearly plan for 39.99$ or 3 days free then 7.99$/week ! May you advise? ### 1/5 — Not screen ok pour iPhone 13 nor xs *2025-06-13, version 1.0.3* Impossible to make it work. Screen size too little ### 1/5 — No Free Lifetime like advertised *2025-06-13, version 1.0.3* I saw this in the apps gone free app and decided to download it. Said to do the onboarding and there would be the lifetime free on the bottom right in small print. Nope- not there, even took screen shots of it. ### 1/5 — Misidentified first plant 🫤 *2025-06-13, version 1.0.3* After downloading, and getting the life subscription, I scanned my first plant. It totally missed identified the plant! Worthless app! Deleting it. ### 2/5 — Missed identifying *2025-09-09, version 1.0.4* It’s a nice little app. But not as accurate. I took a picture to find the name of a fruit that I couldn’t remember. After it scanned, it listed a slew of information regarding the fruit, which I like, but the only problem is that it wasn’t an apple. It was about an inch in diameter that resembles an apple. I even tried it on my carnivorous plants and the only one it got right was my venus flytrap. So, it’s a hit and miss with the app. ### 2/5 — Missed identifying *2025-07-27* It’s a nice little app. But not as accurate. I took a picture to find the name of a fruit that I couldn’t remember.

Where is the credibility in that? **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand how frustrating it can be when expectations aren't met. Many users have successfully located the lifetime subscription option once they’ve navigated to the paywall.

Got first plant photo wrong--I know it's some sort of fruit tree, as I planted it from a seed. I will continue to see if it works on other plants and may up my review if so. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — absolutely love this app *2025-06-14, version 1.0.3* five star review and more ### 5/5 — This is the best plant finder *2025-05-15* I appreciate this app and I use it for my research about plant because I’m biologist researcher about plant this one is help me a lot.
