Plant Identifier & Care App Team ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-08-14, version 3.30.1* Not free as advertised. It is free first week then a charge ### 1/5 — FRAUD/OVERCHARGE WARNING *2026-08-13, version 3.30.0* This app WILL charge you 20-40$ every month This app WILL reappear in your subscriptions ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-08-09, version 3.29.0* Says free but it’s not. If you sign up for a “free trial” they charge you $9.99 PER WEEK after 3 days. ### 1/5 — Beware of a free trial *2026-08-07, version 3.29.0* I am absolutely livid about being charged for what was supposed to be a free trial. I started the app’s free trial and canceled the subscription the same day, yet I was still charged $29.99. I never intended to purchase a subscription, and I feel completely misled and frustrated that I now have to pay just to download an app on my iPhone. I have read a lot of the reviews this typical of them to scam you! ### 1/5 — Expérience d’utilisation *2026-08-07* L’utilisation de l’ap et pour les plantes n’ai pas très bien efficase **Developer response:** Hello, We are very sorry about your experience with the app's effectiveness.

Plant Identifier & Care App Team ### 1/5 — Fraude *2026-08-03, version 3.29.0* Cuidado esta app no te deja cancelar la suscripción ### 1/5 — Plants *2026-07-25, version 3.27.0* Why does it say free and then ask you to subscribe??? ### 1/5 — Not free… no free option *2026-07-19, version 3.27.0* This app says its basic option is free… but it’s not. Any plant you try to identify you get a message that the plant is sick (when it’s not!) and the app tries to force you to pay for a subscription to get any info. If you don’t upgrade to the paid option it deletes your photo and won’t ID the plant. Scam! ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-07-11, version 3.27.0* Apple claims this is free. It. Is. Not. ### 1/5 — Can’t do anything *2026-07-06, version 3.26.0* I don’t want to pay for a plant app, I can’t even do anything without a membership, I can’t even scan a plant without paying. I AM DEFINITELY DELETE THIS APP!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy Plant Checking *2026-08-26, version 3.30.1* plant information is clear and the care suggestions are handy when I am not sure what to do next.! ### 5/5 — Pflanzenpflege leicht gemacht *2026-08-20* Eine neue Pflanze zu bestimmen war einfach, und die Informationen zur Pflege waren übersichtlich und hilfreich. **Developer response:** Hallo!
