### 1/5 — Not happy

*2021-10-22*

Looking for care of the plant instead it identifies the plant

**Developer response:** Please check our Plant disease identifier app for this purpose.

### 1/5 — Abo!

*2021-09-26*

Erst Testversion dann Abo also nichts kostenloses. Warum muss man die Zeit der Menschen so verschwenden und kann nicht direkt nen Preis dazuschreiben?

### 1/5 — Wish I could put 0 stars

*2021-01-15*

Unable to even take a photo to identify a plant, screen is black! Charged a subscription(yearly rate of 32.99) a full 24hours prior to expiry of free trial and cannot even use the app

**Developer response:** Hello, 
Thanks for your review, as I understand, I have replied you how to make a refund by email and seems that you have already done it. I will check what’s wrong with black screen and update the app soon.

### 1/5 — Photo gallery???

### 1/5 — あかん

*2025-09-04*

広告多過ぎて無理消去

### 1/5 — Absolutely rubbish.

*2024-07-03*

Or the plant totally wrong and then didn’t even recognise the second flower as a flower. Totally useless

### 1/5 — 유료결재유도 조심

*2024-02-25*

앱을 다운받았다 ~ 그래서 결재를 유도한다 다음 다음 다음 을 누르면 결재하란다 난 앱삭제를 하였다 나중에 결재가 되면 찾아내서 살인을 할수도 있다는 심정이다 이런 앱들이 많이 있다는 것이 통탄스럽다~ 앱 운영자에게 경고한다 ~ 표적이 되지 마시라 ~ 표적이 되면 존윅에게 의뢰하겠다

### 1/5 — Verar….

*2023-03-26*

Kostenlos in der Suche und dann grosszügig ein paar Probetage. Wagt es nicht was abzubuchen.
Nicht die einzige Pflanzen-App mit Nepp 🤮

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback.

### 1/5 — Testen nur nach bezahlen, Kündigung schwierig.

*2023-02-07*

Vorsicht, testen kann man nur nach Abschluss eines Abos und eine einfache Kündigung über Apple Abonnement ist nicht möglich!

**Developer response:** Bitte senden Sie mir eine E-Mail an 3859555@gmail.com und ich erkläre Ihnen, wie Sie sich abmelden können.

### 1/5 — 辞めた方がいい

*2022-08-29*

解約したくても、解約方法が、全く分からない
規約やメールでの問い合わせが、全て英語表記。
最悪です。

**Developer response:** 3859555@gmail.com にメールしてください。サブスクリプションをキャンセルする方法を説明します。

### 1/5 — Hot Garbage

*2022-08-13*

Instant regret that I paid for a subscription. Can’t get rid of reminders or edit plants in “my garden”. I bought this to identify types of Japanese Maples and all it says that the trees are acer palmatum and not what type it is. Completely worthless!

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your feedback. The app usually shows very high accuracy, but it can make mistakes because of the quality of photos. Please take 3-5 photos of the plant’s diseased part from different angles it should help.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2022-05-11*

planted three different vegetables and the app has identified all three package seedlings as cucumbers.  What are the possibilities of a company placing wrong seeds in 2 or 3 packages?

**Developer response:** Hello, The app identifies plants from photos and it strongly depend on the quality of photo. Sometimes other plants can create a noise that causes mistakes for the machine identification. Please try to take the photo in the way that only the plant you need is in the focus.

### 1/5 — 구입 취소

*2022-04-14*

유료인지 몰랐고 
설치 직후 
유료확인 즉시 삭제했음
구입 취소 확인 바랍니다

**Developer response:** 3859555@gmail.com으로 이메일을 보내주시면 구독취소 방법을 설명드리겠습니다.

### 1/5 — Not as good as it looks

*2022-02-07*

Info is rarely correct. Don’t bother with this app

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, the app identifies most of plants with very high probability. The issues may appear if the photo was taken too far from a plant. Please try to take a photo of a leaf or a plant and I'm sure, the app will give accurate results.
