Merci beaucoup d'avoir pris le temps de nous laisser une note et un commentaire, cela est très apprécié. Nous sommes heureux de pouvoir vous aider avec vos plantes. Bonne journée ! ☀️ ### 5/5 — Intéressant *2021-06-25* Pour l’avoir tester avec des plants dont je connaissais le nom, j’ai trouvé intéressant l’exactitude des informations. **Developer response:** Bonjour ! Merci énormément d'avoir pris le temps de nous laisser une note et un commentaire, cela est très apprécié.  Bonne journée ! ☀️ ### 4/5 — handicapé *2021-06-11* Difficile pour handicapé de tenir iPad avec un seul bras. **Developer response:** Bonjour ! Merci beaucoup pour votre évaluation et commentaire. Comme l'application est conçue pour être exécutée sur iPhone seulement, la version en mode compatibilité n'est pas optimale. Si jamais vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter par courriel à contact@studionanoship.com. Merci et bonne journée ! ☀️ ### 4/5 — Plant identifier *2021-06-04* It is easy to use and very accurate. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for your feedback! We are grateful that you enjoy PlantIdMatch. Best and take care! ☀️ ### 5/5 — Great IDENTIFICATION FUN !!! *2021-05-27* FUN!!! EASY !!! **Developer response:** Hey there! Thank you so much for your feedback! We are grateful that you enjoy PlantIdMatch. Best and take care! 🌱 ### 5/5 — Plant ID match *2021-05-25* Superbe application. Félicitations au développeur. **Developer response:** Bonjour ! Merci beaucoup d'avoir pris le temps de nous laisser une note et un commentaire. Nous sommes hyper reconnaissants. Bonne journée ! ☀️ ### 4/5 — Great ID Results *2021-05-23* Very helpful app! Seems thorough and as accurate as possible with multiple pictures and likelihood that it correctly identified the plant with potential alternatives. One suggestion would be a plant “bank” where you can store/go back and review the plants you’ve ID’d, maybe even with names (i.e., backyard, side porch landscaping, etc). **Developer response:** Hey there! Thank you so much for your feedback and suggestion. We are currently working on that feature, and we will consider your great idea of names/classification. 👌🏻 Best and take care! ☀️ ### 5/5 — Super Cool! *2021-05-22* This app is too freakin cool! To walk in nature and identify plants is just amazing! Good job mankind..now let’s solve homelessness! **Developer response:** Hey there! Thanks a lot for your feedback! We are so grateful that you use and enjoy PlantIDMatch. 🙏🏻 Best and take care! ☀️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worthless *2024-04-13* Don’t be fooled by this EXPENSIVE APP It will not tell you what is wrong the plant! I thought that’s what I was paying for based on their advertising So now I’m out 40 bucks for nothing- ### 1/5 — Wish I could just pay for the app instead of a very pricey subscription *2023-08-28* I have this developer’s “Plant Light Meter” app which I purchased for $3, and it’s one of my favorites. Wish this one had the same price model, I’d be fine paying more. Unfortunately, I think I’ll stick to google lens. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2023-08-14* Won’t identify anything until you pay ### 1/5 — Won’t work without accepting premium trial *2022-06-21* Downloaded this “free” app but it will not open unless I accept a trial of their premium version. I don’t want premium, and I don’t want to try it. Ads would be fine. ### 1/5 — Not Accurate *2022-05-13* For those who are avid botanists, this app is worthless. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Hidden cost *2022-03-23* You’re not upfront and telling people exactly that they have to pay for a subscription ### 1/5 — Scam *2021-12-10* Do it get this app if you don’t want to lose your money. Nooo; it doesn't work I had it just for 15 mins try it with my plants , and everything that has long leaves are yuccas, bad choice,! ### 1/5 — Combien??? *2021-09-04* Très difficile de voir combien et comment cela coûte: en raison de cette opacité volontaire je désinstalle l’app!! **Developer response:** Bonjour ! Merci pour votre commentaire. Nous avons apporté des modifications pour rendre le tout plus clair. Bonne journée ! ☀️ ### 3/5 — Pay £40 a year for a link to Wikipedia?! 🤔 *2024-11-25* This app gives a quick plant identity. It made a mistake when I was using a it, but a forgivable one as it’s a plant that is often confused with a close relative. So, three stars. But… that’s where the usefulness begins and ends. No information about the culinary or medicinal uses of the plant, its propagation, whether it’s a friend or a fiend. If you click on “more information”, you’re redirected to… yep. Heart-crushingly, and with zero effort on the part of the developers, you’re sent straight to Wikipedia 🤦‍♀️ This app is so poor that you don’t even get to keep a catalogue of your plant discoveries, so you have to make your own records if you want to remember what you’ve found 😭 In contrast, my rock identification app tells me the age of the rock, how it was formed, how common it is, its varieties, its uses, cautions I should take if I want to polish it, and I get the option of adding it to my library. And that app? Half the price 🤷‍♀️ ### 4/5 — Pas mal *2021-08-25* J’ai volontairement recherché des plantes spécifiques aux Antilles et je n’ai pas réussi à mettre l’application en difficultés. Sauf pour une! Ceci dit je n’ai fait que quelques essais mais je suis satisfaite. **Developer response:** Bonjour ! Merci pour votre évaluation et votre commentaire c'est très apprécié. Si jamais il y a quoi que ce soit vous pouvez toujours nous écrire à contact@studionanoship.com Merci et bonne journée ! ☀️ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this identifier! *2023-06-04* Can’t tell you how much joy this app ads to my travels! Whether roaming here at home in the US or traveling overseas across Europe, it adds so much to every walk or hike. And I learn so much by following the links. Thank you! ### 5/5 — New plants *2022-05-01* Brilliant app my garden is looking better for it. ### 5/5 — Simple Plant ID app *2022-04-02* Easy to use, quick results,and seems to be accurate.👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Best if the apps *2022-03-28* Tried them all and this the absolute best ### 5/5 — Bonne application *2022-03-23* Je la recommande ### 5/5 — Anémone des bois *2022-03-21* Ne se trompe jamais au top ### 5/5 — Plant *2022-01-25* Awesome application ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-01-15* So wady to use and pretty accurate. Take goid pucs. ### 5/5 — Quick *2021-11-17* Love that it gives an answer do quickly ### 5/5 — Flowers *2021-10-29* Great I love to be able to snap picture and identify --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
