### 2/5 — Won’t load on iPhone anymore

*2023-06-15*

Useless now. I did like it before that happened.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work in iPhone

*2023-06-02*

sounded good but won't open - just hangs  
iphone is current and have tried deleting and reloading app

### 1/5 — Please fix it

*2020-04-28, version 2.4.1*

Use to work now all I get now  is a message that the app is loading. Not sure what happened but please fix it.

### 1/5 — You stink

*2020-03-23, version 2.4.1*

Took several pictures of common plants and it could not identify.

Terrible

### 1/5 — Wrong aspect ratio for iPhone

*2019-05-06, version 2.4.1*

I love this app. HOWEVER, now I can only select Netherlands in language and take picture, rather than English and choose from Album, because the display is completely off for iPhone. 

Can someone help to update the app?

### 3/5 — Needs update for phone platform optimization

*2018-11-24, version 2.4.1*

I love this app, the community has helped me identify so many plants! But the most recent update made it not very compatible for my iPhone, causing half the buttons to not be on the screen, thus my app is stuck in Dutch because I can only select the Netherlands region although I live in the US. Please fix this glitch with another update so that I may enjoy using this app once again! I’d give it 5 stars if this glitch was fixed!

### 3/5 — Answering

*2018-11-14, version 2.4.1*

I get how to upload a photo & wait for an answer, but how do I answer? It doesn’t seem to work. No directions for this app.

### 5/5 — Very helpful if not perfect

*2018-04-22, version 2.2*

I'm not a horticulturalist, just a garden-variety plant lover, and this app is fun.  I saw an unusual tree/bush on my walk that looked a little like a dogwood but not quite. It got identified quickly as a dogwood. Good enough for me.

### 2/5 — Good idea - poor execution

*2017-07-15, version 1.9*

There seem to be not enough users identifying plants to make a solid match. I have tried submitting numerous times, as well as putting my ideas on other's. Several months later and I still have no answers and I have also seen many that are incorrectly labeled.

### 1/5 — Sounds great, but it isn't.

*2017-07-07, version 1.9*

You take a picture of your mysterious plant and upload it to the app. Then it is displayed amongst about a hundred other pictures of mysterious plants. That is about as far is it goes! If you actually get a response to your picture you are pretty lucky.
