### 5/5 — A great global community

*2026-08-22, version 8.0.1*

This is a great place to see the beauty in the world.  PLANTSNAP has great support for any customer service issues.  I have learned so many things in this community.  It’s a great way to learn and fill your time.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-24, version 7.6.10*

I’m 100% sure that I bought a lifetime purchase of this some years ago but couldn’t find any record of it and upon contacting support I never heard anything back. So in the end I concluded I must’ve not bought it (although I am confident I did). Either way in the end after getting nowhere with support, I eventually purchased the lifetime option. Upon launching the app I now see there’s a new feature which I don’t have access to because it’s locked behind yet another new tier of paid subscription. So even though I have purchased lifetime access there are now features that I cannot use unless I pay more again. On principle alone, I will be switching to another app.

### 2/5 — We shouldn’t pay

*2026-07-20, version 7.6.9*

Pretty good. We only get a few free pics and then we have to pay

### 4/5 — Tradescantia sillamontana

*2026-07-09, version 7.6.7*

Córdoba, Argentina, invierno

### 1/5 — Too many ads and ai slop

*2026-07-01, version 7.6.7*

Was great now infinite pop ups and ai over saturated slop

### 1/5 — Capture button now worse

*2026-07-01, version 7.6.7*

When you go to capture a photo the app now makes you select between snapping a photo and using flora live each and every time which is a bad design and extremely annoying for the user. The less taps it takes to perform basic, repetitive app functions the better.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-06-30, version 7.6.7*

Great work!!

### 5/5 — Newbie details on plant care

*2026-06-25, version 7.6.7*

It’s my desire to fill my house with wonderful green plants but have died because of my lack of knowledge. Plant snap has cured all that  only an occasional slip up. But now I am advising my neighbor with what plants need.  Wonderful-easy to use- and easy to understand recommendations for my specific plant.  I love PLANTSNAP

### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Money

*2026-06-04, version 7.6.6*

I have used this app in the past and it was fantastic. Tried it again today and whatever AI technology they’re now using is terrible. It failed to identify most of the plants I was trying to identify.

### 1/5 — Can't identify anything

*2026-06-03, version 7.6.6*

I  had this years ago , now I got a subscription, it can't identify a thing . Flora is over helpful . She's made me literally rip up my garden bed said it won't work . 
Then I see there's a PRO version for $299.
