I love the idea of landscaping designs but it is a little too technical for me to dive into yet. ### 5/5 — Must have *2026-05-24, version 4.1.1* I just love this app. It has been so helpful in my garden. It gives me reminders when to fertilize and it has so much good information on the plants. ### 5/5 — Love this plant app *2026-04-27, version 4.1.1* This app is great for identifying all kinds of plants in your yard and especially the ones you don’t want to touch. Very descriptive and full of information. ### 5/5 — Full Function, Easy and Fun *2026-04-03, version 4.1.1* I’m in the backyard today with the kids and we’re “PlantTagging” all the weeds before we mow. We are finding wildflowers, medicinal plants, stray garden plants, and some dandelions to make wine. This is a free app that does a thorough job of identifying and explaining the plants that I photograph. I choose pictures from the photo gallery, or just snap a picture on my camera, and follow the app prompts. I haven’t found a better app for identifying plants. If you use this at a nursery with the PlantTagg system you get all the info you need to know about how, when, and where to plant the item you are considering for the garden. ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2026-03-03, version 4.1.1* PlantTAGG is awesome! ### 5/5 — Master gardener in the palm of your hand *2026-02-07, version 4.1.1* Love this app, especially that it has adjusted planting Zones based on more recent weather data. ### 4/5 — Great App Support *2026-01-14, version 4.1.1* I contacted support about being unable to add new plants to a new plant zone. The function didn’t work. They took my concern seriously, reported back that they replicated the issue, then fixed it! No robo answer telling me to restart the app or giving me a generic list of things to try that I already tried. Thank you. ### 1/5 — App is broken *2026-01-11* I installed the app and did all the prelim work to set up my planting area. But when I started adding plants, the app stopped working. I could only add 1 plant. I’ve watched the how to vid, restarted the app. This app is a waste of time. ### 5/5 — Great app for gardeners *2025-10-20, version 4.0.2* Love that this app keeps track of all of my plants in one place and lets me group them by the zone/area in my yard. Also makes recommendations about light requirements and care. ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2025-09-06* PlantTAGG is awesome! **Developer response:** Thank you StingrayTX! ## Frequently asked questions about PlantTAGG ### What does PlantTAGG do?
