## What is Sorrel?

Sorrel identifies your plants and tells you how to look after them — and it tells you when it isn't sure.

Point your camera at any plant. In seconds you get the name, the scientific name, and a confidence score. When Sorrel isn't confident, it says so and shows you the other possibilities, ranked, so you can compare them against the plant in front of you. No plant app can be right every time. Most hide it. Sorrel doesn't.

HONEST ANSWERS
• A clear confidence score on every identification
• Other possibilities listed when the answer is close
• Tap any of them to correct what Sorrel saved
• Plants saved from an uncertain answer are labelled, not quietly presented as fact

CARE THAT FITS THE SEASON
• Care guides for 136 plants, plus general notes for 90 plant groups
• Watering advice for the time of year where you live, north or south
• Light, water, temperature and humidity at a glance
• Feeding, repotting, pruning and propagation
• "If something looks wrong": the symptom, the likely cause, and what to do
• Care notes come from a fixed library written in advance — never generated on the fly. If nobody has reviewed a plant's notes yet, Sorrel says so.

SAFE AROUND PETS AND CHILDREN
• Toxicity for cats, dogs and people on every plant we have notes for
• Ratings for many plants are checked against the ASPCA's published plant lists, and Sorrel links to them
• Severe cases are called out plainly

YOUR COLLECTION
• Save any plant with its photo
• A photo journal to watch it grow
• A watering log, and reminders based on your own watering history rather than a generic schedule
• Everything works offline and stays on your iPhone

LOOK UP A PLANT
Browse or search the whole care library by common or scientific name — including older names like Calathea and Sansevieria — without scanning anything.

NO TRAPS
• No account. No sign-up. No email address.
• Free includes 3 identifications a day, all your care notes, your collection and reminders
• You see the price before any trial starts
• Cancel in two taps from Settings

SORREL PREMIUM
Premium removes the daily limit and unlocks plant health checks, which give likely causes and what to try first. Monthly and yearly subscriptions are available, with a free trial on the yearly plan. Prices are shown in the app in your local currency.

Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple account settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
