### 3/5 — Umm

*2025-05-09, version 1.6.2*

It’s an ok app but it kept saying my plant had been eaten by caterpillars but it’s supposed to have holes in the plant so it’s like BRUH! I don’t recommend using it tho.  Can I get a free plant app with no so called plans

### 1/5 — Buyer beware. It would be nice to actually identify…

*2022-08-14, version 1.5.0*

Buyer beware. Tried three different samples from the forest and not a single one was identified. Some might say, user error. I have tried each one— simplifying background—even put them on a all white counter and centered and all the tips— all three a big zero. For this they want a lot of money. I miss the days when you could buy an app, it worked, and you didn’t have to worry about subscriptions— now all these apps are just chasing money and not actually building functional apps. Needless to say, I am cancelling the subscription. Buyer beware.

### 1/5 — Larryb56

*2022-07-20, version 1.5.0*

I can’t review it because I tried two different plants one couldn’t identify the second got wrong. I took a picture of a common heirloom tomato that grows in a meter about 5 to 6 inches in diameter. You classified as a mini Demeter from Argentina and Peru.

### 2/5 — Treefan
