### 1/5 — Poor identification

*2025-08-21, version 1.0.3*

This app does not accurately identify plants nor would I trust that it is able to diagnose issues with your plants.  Use at your own risk and buyer beware.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-12-03, version 1.0.5*

I tried taking a picture. First you had to get the free trial to get the pictures. When i clicked it, I clicked continue it still would not let me take a picture. Is there a bug or something. If i cannot use it then how will i use it? This is the most useless app and AI ever. For identifying and for care

### 1/5 — It’s not working

*2025-11-23, version 1.0.5*

This app doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Worthless App

*2025-11-15, version 1.0.5*

What a disappointment, not even able to scan properly a plant, do not waste your time as it is one of the most useless app: not sure why there is no option to enter the plants name manually…

### 1/5 — Won’t scan any of my plants.

*2025-11-07, version 1.0.5*

Can’t rate app cause it won’t scan any of my plants

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-06, version 1.0.5*

I attempted to scan/take pictures of three different plants to get help identifying what might make them healthier. Each time it said scan not available?!
I change settings, lighting, close-ups, and far away nothing worked very disappointed

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-09-25, version 1.0.4*

What a waste of time! I thought this might help me to save a plant or 2. So I paid the token payment of 29p for a weeks usage. 

Took photos of 2 plants, it scanned the photo and it came back with a different photo asking if this is the one I was trying to identify… Um… NO! 

Took the photo again, same “ other photo of different plant” came back asking was this the plant I was trying to identify.

I thought maybe the camera was seeing a different view to me, so tried again. What a waste of time..

This app must have a wide range library of stock photos, which it uses.. Not the plant you are taking a photo of 🙄 I know it was only a pittance payment for a weeks usage, perhaps that’s because it’s useless.. Do Not Fall for it. Take a photo yourself and google it..

### 1/5 — Can’t identify plants correctly

*2025-09-21, version 1.0.4*

I used the app and took a picture of the same plant twice and it still couldn’t identify it.  It was just a hydrangea and it was giving me all kinds of other plants. But not a single option was the correct one. Therefore it could not help me identify what was wrong with it and why it was dying.

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2025-09-09*

Tried PlantMelo to identify a plant, but it couldn’t recognize it even with a clear photo in sunlight. On top of that, the app asks for payment right from the first attempt. Needs major improvement before charging users.

**Developer response:** The app includes a free trial so you can explore features before subscribing. Some advanced tools require a paid plan. We appreciate your suggestion and are working to improve the experience.

### 1/5 — Plant Melo

*2025-08-23, version 1.0.3*

This Al is garbage. It can’t identify the plants I photo until maybe the 4th try and then it tells me that I know is having problems, that it is healthy. How do I get my money back after a weeks worth of use.

### 1/5 — Pas comme la pub

*2025-08-21*

J’ai testé il connaît pas les plantes que j’ai à la maison nulle j’ai regretté mon achat

**Developer response:** We’re sorry the app didn’t meet the expectations set by the description. Identification accuracy can vary, and we’re actively improving the model to better match real-world plants.
