Piece of junk ### 1/5 — Does not work well *2021-10-09* I took a picture of a simple coleus leaf, several times and after the app searched, nothing happened. ### 1/5 — Crappy *2021-10-06, version 1.2* Will not accept pictures of the plants ### 1/5 — Downloaded - Subscribed - Took photos - ?? *2021-10-01* Downloaded this app and was excited to figure out the tree in my front yard. I took a picture, … then took another one… maybe it wasn’t finding anything? I went to try and find pictures in the app that I had taken, but they weren’t anywhere, not even in my photos on my phone. It seems this is a dummy app that doesn’t do anything except let you think you’re about to identify a plant. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-09-26* It just kept the camera open. Never did anything ### 1/5 — Useless app does nothing except request money. *2021-09-25, version 1.2* Absolute waste of time app does nothing. Doesn’t name plants, just asks for money. ### 1/5 — Nope *2021-09-24* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Unhappy teacher *2021-09-20* Asked for free app this is a bait and switch! Says free for 3 days. Don’t get it!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped showing any information on plants *2022-06-21, version 1.6* The app used to keep hold of the photo taken and then display information it believed was relevant to the leaf, etc photographed. Now it doesn’t hold on to the photo, cycles round for a few seconds and doesn’t load any information but has stored a record in the history section. Not worth paying for. ### 1/5 — Fk paying *2022-05-20* Fk paying for this ### 1/5 — 5$ a week? *2022-05-09* Wow. $5 a week ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-05-08, version 1.6* Am I just not using the app correctly or do you only get a couple of id’s for free 😏 ### 1/5 — I was tricked into downloading. Was not a freeapp. Now trying to cancel *2022-01-09* Tricked. Want to cancel ### 1/5 — Review *2021-12-26* Too expensive to use ### 1/5 — Not correct *2021-12-14, version 1.4* 4 times I took pictures of the leaves of the same plant. Not 1 was correct. So it didn’t work for me. ### 1/5 — No! No support *2021-11-14* Did not work! Requires purchase and then did not work. Now i have to figure out how to stop a subscription! ### 1/5 — Instant popup and accidentally purchased for 19.99 *2021-10-31* Immediately on opening the app I got the request to rate, then another popup which on reflex I double pressed to buy, then realized it was a purchase. This is crappy and sneaky and definitely a dark pattern ### 1/5 — Il *2021-10-25* R Even fever cc ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — HBO *2021-09-26* Hug ### 5/5 — Bbb *2021-09-25, version 1.2* Go if hmm G hkbh ### 4/5 — City girl here *2021-10-31* Learning the different types of vegetation growing around our new country home.
