It’s a lemon Cypress. Diagnosis is healthy when clearly plant is in distress and shedding. ### 3/5 — App doesn’t live up to ads *2026-09-01, version 5.61.0* The ads show lots of home remedies for diagnosed issues. I have yet to see this in the app. They just recommend water, misting and general fertilizer, not specific to plant unless you use AI. I could look that up myself. ### 3/5 — Very good app *2026-09-01, version 5.61.0* I like this app. Very helpful ### 3/5 — No sure the name *2026-08-31, version 5.61.0* I would like to have the name ### 3/5 — Great app but why pay *2026-08-31, version 5.61.0* Everything about this app is great but the way they are charging people to take care of a plant pisses me off like WHY? ### 2/5 — 😴😴😴 *2026-08-29, version 5.61.0* I don’t want to pay money ads never say that, including THIS APP use google that is free and you can make pictures and have a chat and NOT PAY MOOOOONEEEEYYYYYY ### 3/5 — Almost useless *2026-08-26, version 5.61.0* I rushed too much to buy lifetime subscription… Unfortunately apart from just grouping up and setting reminders for plants, app misdiagnosed every single plant issue I was facing. It was too generic always the same questions and wrong diagnosis, so taking photos was irrelevant. And for any meaningful diagnosis it was again to pay. Wasn’t also super precise on recognizing them either… gave very wrong watering tips (for example in summer plant which was supposed to be watered every day was recommended to be watered once in 5 days). Considering knowledge of position, sun exposure and weather, it should have been much more precise. I have deleted the app. ### 4/5 — Nice app *2026-08-23, version 5.60.2* It would help if the app also supplied growth height and width. Sadly missing. ### 4/5 — Nice *2026-08-22, version 5.60.2* Overall it is not bad. Still it could be better. I added a plant and it is as great helping getting in the program. Hopefully I will be able to use this to keep from killing this one unlike the last one I put in the program. I have lost two plants in last year because of a advice from this, but I understand. ### 5/5 — This app is the truth *2026-08-21, version 5.60.1* I have all my plants flowers on the right schedule to growth I’m excited to see ever flower in the house out come ### 2/5 — Not as promised? *2026-08-21, version 5.60.1* This app does a good job of identifying and distinguishing between similar plants. For a paid subscription, however, rarely have I received any suggestion beyond water from the bottom. ### 5/5 — Red Roses *2026-08-21, version 5.60.1* A bush of Red roses ### 5/5 — Brown tip of leaves *2026-08-18, version 5.60.1* Healthy plant ### 5/5 — Plant doc *2026-08-17, version 5.60.0* So far so good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t care for this app *2026-09-01, version 5.61.0* Too detailed and difficult to use. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-30, version 5.61.0* I have a sick plant - CLEARLY and the app said it was healthy with zero suggestions on what to do. Do not down load or subscribe ### 1/5 — App diagnosis is not on point *2026-08-30, version 5.61.0* Bad. ### 1/5 — When we just got a plan, it said it was sick *2026-08-29, version 5.61.0* One star then do not like ### 1/5 — Make up your mind *2026-08-27, version 5.61.0* First underwater what are your plant? Second overwatering stop watering your plant. Remove it from the ground. Indecisive. ### 1/5 — Steals Money from bank account *2026-08-24, version 5.60.2* I paid the $49.99 yearly Sub. and they keep pulling the money out of my account. I want you to stop the payment process now or it goes to the Better Business Bureau asap. ### 1/5 — Subscription Trap *2026-08-17, version 5.60.0* I downloaded a free trial 3 years ago and was unimpressed. I deleted it from my phone and thought I had unsubscribed. I haven’t used it since, but just found out it has been charging me weekly for a premium account. Do not download. ### 1/5 — 5 times in *2026-08-09, version 5.59.0* Took five times to find the red plant ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2026-08-09, version 5.59.0* No sirve mis plantas se están muriendo y llenando de plagas es terrible seguir sus consejos no detecta ni q planta es en muchos momentos dice q la planta esta super sana cuando esta seca y muerta muy mala y muy cara ### 1/5 — False advertising *2026-08-07, version 5.59.0* Before you download the app it gives a few options for the subscription. One being lifetime premium plant care for $49.99. After you download the app it only gives two options a 3 day trial and then $17.99 weekly or $149.99 annually. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gardening *2026-09-01, version 5.61.0* I'm enjoying the help of the app. ### 5/5 — Montessa *2026-08-31, version 5.61.0* Health grown maintenance ### 5/5 — Snake *2026-08-30, version 5.61.0* August 31 2026 ### 5/5 — Indoor and Outdoor Friendly *2026-08-29, version 5.61.0* Pretty good app for logging in information on your garden. Indoor houseplants and garden beds. The only issue is the gardener isn’t able to input the amount of water for the pot size or the actual plant being watered. Their recommended watering amounts is usually too little water. Handy tool, but you still need to be aware of the plant needs. ### 5/5 — Amazing travel companion *2026-08-28, version 5.61.0* I traveled the Cotswolds in England and used this app to identify and learn about so many beautiful plants . Can’t travel without it ### 5/5 — Irish plants *2026-08-27, version 5.61.0* Can I use coffee in to help save it ### 5/5 — Great plant app *2026-08-27, version 5.61.0* Has identified every thing correctly and helps getting rid of weeds ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-24, version 5.60.2* It’s an awesome help if you have great intentions but not very good with plants 🥴😂 ### 5/5 — Best app ever. *2026-08-23, version 5.60.2* I have just under 100 plants and some I could never keep alive before the PlantIn app. I cannot speak enough about this app. They add plants as you request them if needed and they have such a huge library of plants. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-21, version 5.60.2* It always tells me and identifies the plants. It tells me what’s wrong with them and how to treat them. Great. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
