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. ### 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 — Not very useful *2022-06-18, version 1.0.7* Tried a dozen different indoor plants. Maybe got 30% of them and even then it wasn’t specific. I wouldn’t keep this even if it was free. You are nuts to pay for this. ### 1/5 — Did not identify three out of four plants! *2022-04-16, version 1.0.7* Took photos of very green leafy outdoor plants and a houseplant and it itemtifued as a very brown crouch grass. Did not continue with trial ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-01-28, version 1.0.7* No accuracy at all ### 1/5 — Wrong *2021-12-30, version 1.0.7* It doesn’t matter how many times I took a picture of different angles, the plant identification is always wildly wrong. Multiple plants, multiple tries - mostly wrong. The plants it identifies as don’t even slightly resemble each other. I do not recommend this app. What a waste of money ### 1/5 — Sem noção *2021-12-15* Deveriam avisar que o App é pago! Pouparia meu tempo. ### 1/5 — Força comprar versão paga *2021-12-04* Força comprar versão paga ### 1/5 — Enganador *2021-12-02* Você baixa o App e quando vai ver tem que pagar pra usar… porque já não coloca o preço no começo ### 1/5 — No identifica las plantas *2021-11-28, version 1.0.7* No le fue posible identificar 3 plantas, que mala suerte ### 1/5 — Mal *2021-11-25, version 1.0.7* No sirve ### 1/5 — Forts review EVER *2021-11-18, version 1.0.7* 75% of the time it doesn’t recognize the right plant/bonsai. Plus it won’t help you to take care of them, Wikipedia is better which is a lot to say lol ### 1/5 — Muy mala. Para plantas que salen de lo,común no hay data y no las reconoce *2021-11-10, version 1.0.7* No vale la Lena la inversion. ### 1/5 — Unable to identify plants *2021-09-21, version 1.0.7* I got it today and it doesn’t work. All the plants I know. And didn’t get it right! I got it my daughter who is six year old to learn about plants. Big flop. ### 1/5 — Garbage. Don’t buy *2021-09-11, version 1.0.7* Garbage. Don’t buy ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-09-06, version 1.0.7* Can’t identify common plants. ### 1/5 — Can’t identify even the most common plants *2021-09-04, version 1.0.7* Total garbage. Don’t waste your money on this app. I won’t even keep it even if it’s free ### 1/5 — Zero for two *2021-08-20, version 1.0.7* Wanted to identify two plants. In both case the “match” was not.even.close. Like - a toddler would not have thought the picture it “matched” was that of the plant in question. Very disappointing. Goodbye app. ### 1/5 — Porquería de app no identifica nada *2021-08-17, version 1.0.7* No sirve fraude ### 1/5 — Bad services *2021-08-17, version 1.0.7* Yes the app is ok, but the fact it’ll charge you £9.99 after 3 days free but £24.99 for 6 months is ridiculous. Their method of making money is horrendous. Moving my subscription to another app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2022-10-09* After taking pictures of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries alpine columbines and many others app either wasn’t able to identify these or misidentified them! Don’t waste your time or money on this app. ### 1/5 — Not even close *2022-09-01, version 1.0.7* Garbage identified by plant as a leafy plant when pictures obviously had no leaves second choice was an aloe plant because structuraly more accurate except totally round multi shades of green and no little spines traditional of aloe. Do not waste your money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Idioma *2021-04-07, version 1.0.7* No me gusta que explican todo en inglés ### 5/5 — Exelente *2021-02-13, version 1.0.7* Me encanto, los felicito, muy completa! ### 5/5 — Buenísima! *2021-02-13, version 1.0.7* Exelente! ### 5/5 — Realmente ecelente *2021-02-13, version 1.0.7* Sorpendido.

I discovered this app when I was in Bali. I was amazed that the app’s database included all greens that I photographed! It was interesting to know about those paradise greens and add them to my photo collection from the trip. I am planning to fulfill it during my next trips ### 5/5 — Genial *2021-02-05* Adorei esse aplicativo! Ajuda muito a identificar as plantas ### 5/5 — Excelente *2021-02-04, version 1.0.7* Muy buena aplicación, precisa. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
