Over the last couple of years When I attempt to photograph a tree or plant I invariably get the message that the photo is inadequate and I should try again. But it works no better a second time. Intend to cancel my subscription. ### 3/5 — Plant health function poor *2026-06-16, version 1.11.1* I like this app for identifying plants but when it detects disease it usually redirects to a Wikipedia page or academic paper both of which are usually more of a hindrance than help. I just want to know what to do, not how many species of rust fungus exist…. ### 3/5 — Owner *2025-09-16, version 1.11.0* Your system is not 100% accurate and it’s confusing by giving too many alternatives. If I take a closeup image of a leaf or bark of a plant, system should be able to identify it with accuracy. A detailed image and the shape of a leaf should be shown in your answers. Thank you. Steve Alexis ### 1/5 — Subscription *2025-01-12, version 1.11.0* Can’t use unless you want to pay just skip this app ### 1/5 — Fair *2025-01-04, version 1.11.0* Not an easy App for me to use. The $3.99 cost per month is not worth it. ### 1/5 — Stop Badgering Me for a Rating *2024-11-19, version 1.11.0* It’s reasonably accurate, maybe around 50%. What the devs excel at, however, is putting nag screens in between you and doing what you got the app for: identifying plants. I yielded to the repeated pleas to subscribe, thinking I’d then be permitted to get on with it. Nope! Please rate me! Are you ready to rate me, yet? Send feedback to the devs! How about now? Now?! Screw this app. Subscription getting cancelled at the end of this term and I’ll find an app that just identifies plants. Added: Put unsubscribe in the settings where told me I could find the unsubscribe option. Had to go to my Apple account to unsubscribe. These devs appear to be engaging in some shady practices. My review: don’t install, don’t subscribe, uninstall, and find a different app. ### 1/5 — Unbearable app *2024-09-10, version 1.11.0* Every 5 seconds asking to upgrade, how can I upgrade the app if I don’t know if it’s good or no? Jeez ### 1/5 — Can’t cancel *2024-08-03, version 1.11.0* Really bad days you can but you cant ### 3/5 — What happened? *2024-08-01, version 1.11.0* I used to be able to save a picture to my camera roll and share on social media and none of that works anymore. About 6 months ago I wrote to customer service and have never gotten any answer. I’m a paying customer and I Love the app, but it doesn’t work like it used to. I keep getting sent to a website to purchase live plants instead of being able to do anything else. Please fix this app, it’s the best of the ones I’ve downloaded and the only one I’ve used for years. So disappointing that it’s no longer working right. ### 1/5 — Plant identifier *2024-07-24, version 1.11.0* Stopped working! ### 1/5 — Weak results for diagnosis *2024-07-02, version 1.11.0* 98% of diagnosis results take you to a paid sponsor site that has next to no info or a Wiki page that also has next to no info on what to do. ### 1/5 — Unclear information *2024-07-01, version 1.11.0* The diagnosis is telling me it’s an antibiotic issue but not telling me what to do. It’s giving me the same reason for several different plants ### 4/5 — Cancel subscription *2024-06-30, version 1.11.0* I’m trying to cancel my subscription and can’t find a way to cancel. Please cancel this subscription! ### 1/5 — Not unlimited *2024-06-28, version 1.11.0* It says unlimited plant identification, but it wouldn’t let us identify more than 5 plants… ### 1/5 — Don’t get this *2024-06-21, version 1.11.0* The app works but once you get it, it’s like a weed you can’t kill. You can’t cancel it and they keep charging your card. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not very helpful *2026-05-04, version 1.11.1* The app might tell you that your plant is sick, but useless as to how to fix it. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2026-03-07, version 1.11.0* Each time I use it it just sends you to a website for whatever plant it thinks it is identifying. It does not give you any hints on whatever disease your plant may have. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-12-19, version 1.11.0* This app will not allow cancellation ### 1/5 — pay for app *2025-12-09, version 1.11.0* I already pay for the application I’m not going to pay Again for info on taking care of a plant I will drop this application if it continues ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-07-30, version 1.11.0* Ap worked sort of for two or three plants now all it wants is to upgrade at a price. There is no easy way and as I only use the app a couple of times a month it’s not worth it and therefore it will be deleted. ### 1/5 — Treatment *2025-07-13, version 1.11.0* Does not give a treatment as it described before I subscribed. Not happy!! Gonna unsubscribe and cancel ### 1/5 — You have to pay for it *2025-06-05, version 1.11.0* Paid app only ### 1/5 — I canceled this, *2025-04-29, version 1.11.0* Return my $4.99. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Do not purchase this app *2025-02-03, version 1.11.0* They will charge your credit card monthly and have no way to stop. I will have to now go through my credit card company. And the plant identification is inaccurate ### 1/5 — The app is not identifying the right plants *2025-01-28, version 1.11.0* The app is not identifying the right plants. I have taken several pictures of different ones. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Accurate & Useful Information *2026-03-11, version 1.11.0* I’m an avid gardener and have no less than 15 potted plants inside as well as outside (too many to count during the summer months). Initially I downloaded and used two apps. Within a couple months there was no question which app fit my needs and I’ve solely used this app for many years. I’ve come to rely on it for identifying plants I don’t recognize (but wonder if it’d grow well in my area) as well as providing useful information when one of my plants (indoor & out) seems to be struggling. By utilizing the information provided I’ve spent less time trying to figure out why a plant isn’t thriving as well as less money by not having to replace a favorite - but ailing - plant. Love this app. ### 5/5 — It is great 🤩 *2025-08-18, version 1.11.0* It identifies plants and shows it’s health and it can diagnose and cure the sick plant 🌱 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-11-04, version 1.11.0* Very accurate and informative. ### 5/5 — Plant identification *2024-09-18, version 1.11.0* How do i cancel this app? ### 5/5 — Good *2024-07-03, version 1.11.0* Super good very good wowowow ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-06-14, version 1.11.0* Great app !!!! While doing my garden helped me but now I am finished and don’t need it anymore! I want to delete it and not be charged monthly! How do I do it? ### 5/5 — Very good *2024-05-28, version 1.11.0* Very good ### 5/5 — Frustration *2024-05-22, version 1.11.0* Very difficult to navigate this app. All it is showing me is diagnosis for diseased plants or to tell a friend!! ### 5/5 — Fabulous results *2024-05-14, version 1.11.0* This app is great! it identified the majority of plants, I didn’t know it’s also easy to use & quick at identifying ### 5/5 — Super *2024-03-10, version 1.11.0* A very convenient application, my plants began to look much better, thank you! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
