PlantRx tells you what a plant is, how it is doing, and what to do next. Photograph any plant and you get three things in one reading: a species identification, a health score out of 100, and a care guide written for that exact plant. Where something is wrong, PlantRx names the problem, shows you what it spotted in your photo, and gives you a fix you can act on today - including a recipe you can make at home where one exists. IDENTIFY MORE THAN PLANTS • Plants, from a leaf, a flower or the whole thing • Weeds, with treatment that distinguishes lawn-safe from beds-only • Insects and birds, in plain English rather than field-guide Latin • Mushrooms, with an honest note about what a photo cannot settle • Count the stems on a multi-trunk tree, or the growth rings on a cut stump A REAL HEALTH READING • A score out of 100, with the reasoning behind it • Each problem separated out - what it is, why we think so, and the fix • Six care meters: light, water, soil, humidity, temperature and feeding, each with the numbers and a tap for the detail • Toxicity read per household - people, dogs and cats answered separately, because “toxic to dogs, safe for cats” is one sentence and three different decisions A GARDEN THAT LOOKS AFTER ITSELF • Save a plant and it gets a watering and feeding schedule automatically • On-device reminders that arrive on time - nothing about your garden leaves your phone to make them work • A journal per plant: photos, notes and height over time • A care agenda across every plant, with a one-tap “done” • Going away? Pause the whole schedule without losing your history ALSO IN THE APP • A light meter that uses the ambient sensor to tell you whether a spot suits the plant • Local weather woven into the care advice • A plant guide you can browse and search, filtered by pet-safe, low light, or easy care • A water calculator and a repotting checker • Ask a follow-up question about the plant you just photographed HONEST ABOUT LIMITS An identification from one photograph is a best guess, and PlantRx says so - it shows how confident it is, and asks for another angle when that would help. For anything that matters - a child or an animal that has eaten a plant, a mushroom you are thinking of eating - it tells you to call a vet or a poison line instead of trusting an app. SUBSCRIPTION PlantRx Premium is an auto-renewing subscription billed once a year.

Like it more than the other identifiers because of things like the plant memory or achievements. Peace. ## Frequently asked questions about PlantRx ### What can PlantRx identify?

Updates typically include new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements. ## Version history (last 3 releases) ### 1.6.0 — 2026-09-12 • Where it grows: plant results now show the plant's wild range on a map, and whether it's native where you are. • Weed ID says if the plant is native to your country before suggesting how to remove it. • Send feedback or report a bug from Profile — it still sends if you wrote it offline. • Fixed: a toxic plant could show a pet-safe badge in your garden. • Fixed: moisture-loving plants got watering reminders far too far apart. • Fixed: "Easy care" was hiding most easy plants. • Widgets no longer count tasks overdue while care is paused. • Insect, bird, mushroom and weed results now say plainly when an identification is only a best guess. • Fixed a sign-up problem that could leave a new account without its profile saved. • Fixed account deletion failing part-way through on some accounts. • Settings now shows how much space your stored scans use. ### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-08 Location, fixed and better timed • Turning on location from Settings now works. The "Open device settings" button also lands on the right page instead of the notification settings. • PlantRx now asks about location while your scan is running, so the care advice that comes back can be written for your local weather rather than in general. Signing in • What you have typed carries across when you switch between Sign in and Create account, so nothing has to be retyped. • A failed sign-in now offers to create an account with that same email. • The name you choose when you sign up appears straight away instead of after a sign-out. Also fixed • A problem that could stop account deletion from completing. ### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-04 No release notes. ## Apps similar to PlantRx | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Plant Doctor – PlantMD](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/plant-doctor-plantmd/id6748236459) | 4.3 (16) | Free | Lifestyle | | [Wrench Technician App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wrench-technician-app/id1584816589) | 2.3 (8) | Free | Lifestyle | | [Brevard County Library-BCL Go](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/brevard-county-library-bcl-go/id6670162611) | 5.0 (13) | Free | Lifestyle | | [Mantra Collection](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mantra-collection/id1082589580) | 3.9 (20) | Free | Lifestyle | | [Pickup: Driver](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pickup-driver/id6463719404) | 2.3 (16) | Free | Lifestyle | | [Vantaca Home](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vantaca-home/id6449600509) | 1.4 (41) | Free | Lifestyle | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
