### 4/5 — Not bad

*2024-11-21*

It’s not a bad app some restrictions but not bad at all, but what I am wondering is is it accurate? It’s a little off but not by much….. 🌸🌻🌺

**Developer response:** Thank you for the great feedback! We're thrilled you’re enjoying the app!

### 1/5 — Not what I need

*2022-09-23*

Not the app for me but now I can’t cancel it

*2022-08-20*

First plant I scanned gave me an option of 8 possible plants not a lot of use

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-08-17, version 5.5*

Tried adding a photo from my gallery to identify an insect but app stayed on live camera mode. When I took a photo, it saved it to my camera roll but didn’t switch away from camera mode either. The app is useless for identifying anything.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2022-08-10*

You only get a certain amount of identification’s and I can’t even figure out how to identify a plant the weather is incorrect it said it was -18 degrees when it is actually 75 this app is terrible and I found others that work a million times better

### 1/5 — So annoying

*2026-08-17*

I paid for a subscription and I can’t use it because every two seconds a stupid pop-up comes up asking me to do a rating. So annoying. I’m not exaggerating I literally cannot use because interrupted so frequently I never can actually look long enough to figure out use and get info from app. Complete waste of money.

### 1/5 — Great app but

I paid for a subscription and I can’t use it because every two seconds of stupid pop-up comes up asking me to do a rating. So annoying.

### 1/5 — Non functional app

*2025-04-21*

This app is more useless then google image reverse search. All it gives you are non existent wiki articles that crash the app. Slopwear

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2024-10-02*

I hate it. I just downloaded this app. It’s not even letting me take a picture to identify yet. It wants me to identify and it’s supposed to be an app of leaf identifier like, what do you? What do you want me to do? Just sit there and identify on my own when I installed the app for a reasonlike this is actually just stupid. I should just delete it now.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry for the trouble you’re experiencing. Your feedback helps us improve, and we’ll work on making the app easier to use and more intuitive.

*2023-03-29, version 6.8*

Doesn’t work at all.

### 1/5 — Can’t go backwards

*2023-02-05*

Amazingly shoddy app. I give it a picture it can’t identify so I try to start over. I try to start over. I try to start over…where is the go back button?  Why am I stuck on a list of possible results with no way to reset search and start over????
