Excellent App

Taken photos identifying plants around the world.

Great app!

Accurate identification, usually from first snap, easy to use and navigate, and I like that you can save your matches. Great information on the plants and their facts.

Misidentification

PlantSnap commonly miss identifies plants when I take a picture of them

Least Accurate App

This app can’t tell the difference between a red bud tree and a sweet potato. Not even in the same family.

Very useful app!

I use this app all the time to identify plants, and while it is still evolving, I can usually find what I’m looking for. I just wish it was easier to identify pests as well.

A great global community

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.

Disappointed

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.

We shouldn’t pay

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

Tradescantia sillamontana

Córdoba, Argentina, invierno

Too many ads and ai slop

Was great now infinite pop ups and ai over saturated slop

Capture button now worse

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.

Great!

Great work!!

Newbie details on plant care

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

Don’t Waste Your Money

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.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the identification was not accurate. PlantSnap is always learning and improving. For the best results, please make sure photos are clear and well lit. If you’d like further help, feel free to contact us at support@plantsnap.net.

Can't identify anything

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.

No AI please!

I had this app before they added AI. It was great and doesn’t need AI. 😩

Not what I had hoped for

I am looking for an app where I can add all the plants in my garden, and add in the details that I want about care, flowering time etc. I also wanted to be able to record photos occasionally so that I can see how a plant looks at different times of year, or log comments about the progress.
The app seems to work well on the logging side, which is what made me get it. However I am disappointed in the fact that once I have added my plants they just appear in a list in the order they were added. I cannot re-sort at all, or even search for a particular plant so this will make logging anything virtually impossible. As such, it makes the app pretty useless to me& so I will have to continue my search for something that meets my needs

Not working

Never gets to actually identify a plant. Picture disappears and screen goes all white !!!

Not free

Not free

PlantSnap

I love this app and it is really helpful! My only fault that I have with it is that it is always advertising and it only allows a few snaps per day without a subscription
