Almost cut off a new orchid branch cause it told me it was a parasite, everything has root rot, not good at all. ### 1/5 — It’s not free *2026-07-26, version 1.7.8* When they advertise the ad it says for free but then it won’t let you scan any plants until you subscribe. So I deleted the app ### 4/5 — Lies *2026-07-24, version 1.7.8* Thus app advertisements say it is completely frr and when you download and start it, the first thing you do is have to choose which plan you want to pay for. Lies!! ### 1/5 — Intrusive *2026-07-21, version 1.7.8* Personal questions unnecessary ### 1/5 — Worst plant website *2026-07-20, version 1.7.8* I tried to sign up for a free trial and ended up being charged the annual fee. I tried to identify a plant that this website couldn’t recognize. I tried to diagnose a sick plant and am being told I have to upgrade for that service. I’ve had no response from customer service ### 3/5 — Not free *2026-07-20, version 1.7.8* The add says it completely free but going through the steps to get into the app. It wants to subscribe you not much but still there is a charge for that not quite sure how it’s going to help. My plants will update soon. ### 4/5 — Not free *2026-07-20, version 1.7.8* Nice app but it isn’t free, pretty cheap. But again not free! ### 1/5 — Ad *2026-07-19, version 1.7.8* False advertising you say it’s free it’s not very disappointed ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-07-19, version 1.7.8* Add says totally free and it’s not. Then I wanted the lowest price option and it made me pay for the 19.99 price. Id be more apt to keep this if you just told the truth and charged me for what I wanted. ### 1/5 — SCAM-App does not work *2026-07-19, version 1.7.8* Paid on July 4, payment went through July 6 . Provided proof to Customer Support over a week ago. No response. Requested refund if they weren’t going to fix it. No response. I paid for a year subscription. Non-functional, just begs for me to subscribe, yet tells me I am already subscribed. ### 1/5 — Lied *2026-07-18, version 1.7.8* You say it’s completely free then you have to pay. That’s not free!! ### 1/5 — Amount *2026-07-16, version 1.7.8* You give a weekly amount and when we say yes it’s a yearly charge-why? ### 3/5 — False advertising *2026-07-16, version 1.7.8* You are advertising this as totally free. It is not you can download it, but in order to use it, you have to pay. ### 1/5 — This is not Free *2026-07-16, version 1.7.8* The advertisement said this is totally free. It is not. You have to buy a subscription. I really wanted to try this, but I’m not doing this because they lied in the advertisement. Why would I try an app from a company that is not honest they should say try the app for free not that it’s totally free BS ### 1/5 — Faulty app *2026-07-16, version 1.7.8* I purchased the year long subscription to this - after purchasing I tried to use this and the app tried to get me to sign up for a “trial period” of three days even though I paid for the subscription. I doubt my money will be refunded. ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET FOOLED BY THE AI AD *2026-07-15, version 1.7.8* Well, #1: IT ISNT FREE. #2: it told me that I’m overwatering my plant when it’s HEALTHY, so I watered it less. What happened, it died. So, what did I do? I scanned it and guess what is said: UNDERWATERING! so, overall, it took my money and killed my plant. ### 1/5 — Plant lush *2026-07-15, version 1.7.8* So I had an app for my plants but I was playing my golf game and this “plant lush” ad I watched said the best part is it’s totally free. Exact words, “totally free” so I downloaded it, well I can’t say if the app works because they offer a free trial but then they charge. Well I never use an app built on deception. ### 1/5 — PlantLash *2026-07-14, version 1.7.8* This app offers a “totally free trial”. That’s totally false. When signing up for the totally free trial, the app automatically bills you for one year. Then Apple does nothing to refund that charge. ### 4/5 — Deceptive Trial Offer *2026-07-12, version 1.7.8* I thought I was paying for a month trial and when I clicked yes, I was immediately charged a full year. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rip off *2026-08-23, version 1.7.8* I paid for a one year subscription but I am unable to use this app? I’m not impressed . So I just cancelled my subscription. Kindly refund my account. ### 1/5 — Plant lush review *2026-08-05, version 1.7.8* Way to expensive ### 1/5 — Free?? *2026-08-03, version 1.7.8* U say that this app is free, but then u want to bill me. Free means FREE!!! Thanx for nothing. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-03, version 1.7.8* Have canceled my subscription and they still are taking out of my account. Going to cancel at my bank, maybe they can cancel without me having to change cards. Don’t bother with this nonsense. Just ask ChatGPT ### 1/5 — it’s not free *2026-08-02, version 1.7.8* Don’t have free trial ### 1/5 — Refund please *2026-08-01, version 1.7.8* I logged in for 29 cents never looked at the app again I was going to take it outside to check on flowers I had growing outside I never used the app not one mi minute I’m requesting an 80.00 refund that your app has been taking out of my spark account I can afford 29 cents I can’t afford 919.99 a week please refund me I never used the app at all ### 1/5 — This is a fraud *2026-07-29, version 1.7.8* I paid 34 for a year subscription. I used it once. Now when I open it it’s asking me for more money for weekly access, monthly access or whatever they can get. I complained to Apple and they are fine with it. I guess this is what Tim Cook’s Apple of Today is supposed to work. ### 1/5 — Cost of app *2026-07-28, version 1.7.8* It’s not free. ### 1/5 — At the beginning of this PlantLush, it said it was absolutely free until you open it up *2026-07-28, version 1.7.8* Not FREE ### 1/5 — This is a bad app *2026-07-27, version 1.7.8* When I try to get my cilantro, it kept directing me to a different one which is not the real one and I hate it because first of all I’m a Mexican-American ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Orchid lover *2026-07-04, version 1.7.8* My Mother had a green thumb. She used to say she could look at a plant and know what it needs. Just like this app. Her favorite plants are orchids. The hardest plant to grow. She passed away last year. I’m hoping my thumb will turn from black to green. With the help of this app, I hope I will be the best at taking care of my plants. ### 5/5 — Plants *2026-07-03, version 1.7.8* Have not used yet see how it works then send review. Thanks ### 5/5 — Lola *2026-06-20, version 1.7.8* Lola ### 5/5 — PlantLush *2026-06-18, version 1.7.8* This app is really good for me since I tend to overwater. I like the diagnosis portion as well as the guide. Very detailed. Great for someone starting out in their gardening journey. ### 5/5 — Free *2026-06-18, version 1.7.8* It was on Facebook for free, it said absolutely free. Then you download it then have to pay to use it. WTF ### 5/5 — Plantas *2026-06-16, version 1.7.8* Es muy bueno, recibir preservación sobre el cuidado de las plantas Pues así cuidamos el medio ambiente ### 5/5 — Advertisement is wrong!! *2026-06-09, version 1.7.6* Commercial says it’s TOTALLY FREE. That’s not true. Once downloaded it will charge $2.74. Now this might be the cheapest but I’m not sure if the fee is weekly, monthly or annually. Idk bc I was expecting not to pay for this being it drew me in with FREE ### 5/5 — Myself *2026-06-08, version 1.7.6* 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Tatiannna *2026-06-03, version 1.7.4* Tae best my plans are so good now ### 5/5 — Plant care of so many different plants worth the cost to get this, write down for each plant care . *2026-06-02* I once chose to download one of these apps because got tired of plants turning brownish yellow, so doing it through with four types of plants, today I have Christmas Cactus growing beautiful adding milk, but did with caution wondering , waiting to see results, not wanting it to sit on top of soil , well it took it in with greatness I do water it most times bi-weekly but milk every three weeks. My plant has bloomed several times Not sure how long it take to grow big but hanging in I do breath air on it twice a week which was told that many plants like it. My other plant A arrow head was small young not growing much a little one leaf single, then gave it less sunshine more shady with morning sun, my little baby has given me five more leafs, yes it too I breath on a couple huffs too.
