Helps ID plants.
Great app for learning how to ID plants. Would love if they added tree species as well.
Best flower app for Washington State
This app is supported by the foremost experts in Washington flora, at the University of Washington Herbarium. You can’t put all flowering plants for Washington in one app (you could, but it’s would get messy for the those trying to parse out tough genera) so they’ve picked the ones you’ll most likely see. They certainly chose well. This information comes from the source of flora knowledge. Other free apps don’t have the same depth or content. The money goes to those who make plant taxonomy a lifestyle. I’ve been using it for a few years and it is indispensable.

Works well for adjacent states.
As good as the book and easier to carry and use. This app has difficulty updating because of the size. Suggest breaking updates into parts.
Useful, easy to operate app
Love the High Country flower (and grass) apps. Bought the Flora of Yellowstone years ago and now grab any new ones for regions where I travel. So convenient to have everything available in one lightweight, easily carried spot. I live on the edge of the Palouse region of Washington and Idaho and use both apps when I’m out and about.

Pretty good
I mostly really like this app. But two things. 1) why are The merely "locally common" Alnus virida and A. Incana included while the much more common Alnus rubra is excluded? 2) other guides have a bit on distinguishing characteristics that I found very helpful when encountering species that are very similar to others. Why doesn't this have that?

Best wildflower app on the market
This app has been very useful in the field. It is very complete for wildflowers in Washington. The descriptions are most excellent. The only thing I would like to see are photos of the individual elements of the plant. The leaves, the stems, the seeds and not just the flower. Otherwise this is the best plant app I have come across.

Finally!!!
Now we just need one for trees. I only wish there was a internal audio of the Latin names.
What Happened?
I loved this app but with the most recent update it won't open. What happened?
I've been dreaming of this app...
Easy to use, with simple, logical and powerful search criteria, I find the plants I'm trying to identify much faster than with my plant book (sorry Pojar!). For me, a hiker who loves learning about plants, this really is the perfect app.
Very Nice!
Very easy to use and nicely organized. A must have for any hiker here in WA. No need to carry the book any more. Bonus is no need for cell signal or wifi to use. Nicely done.
Elegant and efficient!
I bought this wonderful app late last week before heading over to south central Washington (Bickleton area), from Seattle on a nature day "runaway." We went in pursuit of bluebirds and spring wild flowers and wide open spaces and were delighted to find that this app helped us quickly zoom in and narrow down the number of possibilities for our searches, and then confirm our wild flower ID's, easily and quickly. The search design and Mark Turner's beautiful, illustrative imagery are first rate. I highly recommend this app for any considering a Northwest wildflower outing.
Combine it with the Peterson Birds of North America app on your iPhone and/or iPad, as well, and a pair of binoculars and you are set for a grand outdoor adventure.
Strong work, Mark and team.
