Excellent guide - easy to use and comprehensive

Has vastly increased my knowledge of wild flowers simply by having it there to hand when I'm out and about. Reliable and simple to use, this is a great app for anyone with an interest in nature and the countryside.

Doesn’t seem to work

Shouldn’t even be one star. App seems jammed on yellow iris. I tried importing photos of wild flowers to identify but app doesn’t work – still lists yellow iris when the flower clearly isn’t. Waste of money so far. Keeps crashing. Suggests flowers that look nothing like the photo imported. No way to find information on the wrongly suggested plant. Utterly useless.

Informative & useful

Useful tool to help identifying wild flowers and getting information about them on-the-go

Really great but needs more species

Such a good app for testing ID skills but gets a bit repetitive and doesn’t cover ever species

A year on

I have had this app for a year and it is great at the common flowers. The identification checklist is excellent and makes you look at the flowers carefully. The ability to add to your own list is good. However the automatic recognition does not work even on a 2022 iPhone SE.

FAQ

What does the Wild Flower Id British Isles app do?

This app helps you identify wild flowers of the British Isles using automatic photo recognition. You can take a picture of a plant, and the app will tell you what it is. It also provides detailed information about each species and allows you to log your flower sightings.
