### 1/5 — Avoid

*2025-08-11, version 1.0.9*

Rubbish did free trial - 10 plants never got 1 !

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work can’t cancel

*2024-10-22, version 1.0.9*

This app doesn’t work and I can’t figure out  how to cancel it.  Don’t download ! Nightmare !

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-08-09, version 1.0.9*

Tried many different views and every photo taken it would tell me to take a better picture! Definitely not good!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-05-25, version 1.0.9*

Last year this app worked great. Helped me so much in picking flowers out etc. This year it is awful.  Doesn’t identify anything.  No picture is clear enough.  I wasted my money.  Don’t waste yours.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2023-11-01, version 1.0.9*

Told me my plant has leaf rot then under solutions it said healthy plant, no treatment needed

### 1/5 — No luck

*2023-05-13, version 1.0.7*

Sorry to say this app didn’t identify any of my plants.
I have to say I do live in Australia.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-04-30*

I don’t know what happened to this app but it worked great when I first purchased last summer.  I renewed this spring and it is constantly unable to identify. And if I’m lucky enough to get a response it’s for plants that would never grow in my area.  Awful.

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2023-03-31, version 1.0.7*

Downloaded without permission so it was quickly cancelled the same day. Says it had a trial period so it was “free” to download w/o a pin. When I viewed subscription area to cancel it had no option to cancel because it was “expiring soon.” However I’ve been charged for it 3 times back to back. This has been reported to Apple as FRAUD. I want this canceled!

### 1/5 — They lie and false advertise.

*2023-03-09, version 1.0.7*

Don’t download this app. It pretends to be free but then you have to pay after a 3 day free trial and most likely even if you cancel you’ll still get charged. Terrible people must run this app and their website, find something different that’s actually free instead of downloading this

### 1/5 — Moneygrab and a waste of time

*2022-12-05, version 1.0.7*

They don't allow you to take pictures until you pay. And when you pay it says 3 days free trial but it is a lie. I unsubscribed within the free period and still got charged. The 4 stars are astroturfed and not real reviews.
