Wonโ€™t load on iPhone anymore

Useless now. I did like it before that happened.

Doesn't work in iPhone

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

Please fix it

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

You stink

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

Terrible

Wrong aspect ratio for iPhone

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?

Needs update for phone platform optimization

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! Iโ€™d give it 5 stars if this glitch was fixed!

Answering

I get how to upload a photo & wait for an answer, but how do I answer? It doesnโ€™t seem to work. No directions for this app.

Very helpful if not perfect

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.

Good idea - poor execution

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.

Sounds great, but it isn't.

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.

Bad

No good

Not all it's cracked up to be

I read that this was A top ten app to help identify plants. I installed and had to register twice before it fully let me in. The app is based on the idea someone else has the same app and likes to identify plants. Well that's true if you show a picture of a bloom someone seems able to identify it, but a lot of people have a picture of a leaf or non bloomed flower and there no responses to them. I am still searching for what the plant is that is in my yard.

Not for the knowledgeable gardener

This may be OK for someone who doesn't have a clue. But there is no expert back there figuring out the rarer things. The common plants aren't being identified. I was very disappointed. It is like asking the neighbors if they ever saw one like this. Even a good garden center would have more expertise. My suggestion is that the developer get some trained botanists and plant professionals to do the identification. This should NOT be guesses and opinion, but real scientific fact that can be backed up. That is getting harder to find in every area, not just botany. Sorry I joined.

Needs Work

This app has potential and a community of knowledgable people is helpful. That said, there is only the general public IDing plants and, because they are not experts, their answers are wrong or overly broad. There is no way to edit answers and the zoom in feature is a joke. It has potential and is worth a shot if you don't know a plant. Just google answers yourself to double check what you have been told.

Need account to get an answer.

Title says all.

Macadoo

Waste of time. Even leaving a review is a drill

Waste of time

Don't bother with this app

No good

Deleted this app. They don't respond, not worth your time to download

Didn't work

I responded to myself just so someone would... I joined a Plant Identification group on Facebook and had an accurate answer in about a minute. Tried more plants and same thing: zero response here, FB had a accurate one within minutes. Guess I don't need an app.

Not good layout

There's no way for you to see the pictures u've posted. It's a mess
