I have tried almost every plant identification app out there. This is the only one I absolutely love. And it’s free! Aside from that, though, I love this app because you can add pics of your own to try to identify. Instead of just throwing you something it might be and saying “this is what this is” like most other apps, this one lists it out. Depending on your pic quality depends on the percentage of plant comparisons it gives you, however, it seems to be no less than 95% right every time. There was only one plant I scanned that wasn’t what they listed (and I knew that is what that plant was), but my pic was a really bad shot, so it was probably my fault. I’ve been using this app for a couple months (and I am constantly doing something on it). I absolutely love it. It’s also community open, so if the app isn’t sure what it could be, they’ll put it in the community for other educated people to add their input. You can look species up by region, family, genius, or just by name/characteristics. I’m learning so much about the region I live in simply by looking at the plants and flora and weeds in that specific region. I love how it lists other names the plant is known by, a world map of where it can be found, and photos of it all. The photos!!! You can identify or search something via leaf, flower, bark/stem, fruit, habitat, or other (which is kinda a mix of this or roots or whatever doesn’t fit in the other categories). Well worth your time! I probably wouldn’t recommend any other plant ID app — this one really takes the cake. I have already recommended this app to a ton of other people, and they like it, too. If you’re looking for a plant ID app, and you’re not sure or feeling hopeless with the search, give this one a try — it just might surprise you.

I don’t ever write reviews for apps at all but I just had to for this one! I have been searching for an accurate informative plant id app recently and tried several different ones. I decided to test each app with plants I already own and know for sure what they are. One app after another ID’d every single plant wrongly, sometimes to a ridiculous level. I was gonna give up and then tried this one. Every single one of my known plants was identified correctly immediately! After so many failed apps I was so happily surprised with how accurate this one was and all the different information options there are available. Every single paid for app I tried was wrong but this free one managed to actually do its job and do it so well! I will always use this app going forward! Excellent job whoever created this app, it is so refreshing to have an advertised product actually do what it says it’s going to do without any lies, misrepresentations or manipulations in its advertising. Other app creators take notice, this is how you do it right and keep your customers very happy and dedicated to your product! Great Job!!

I was getting tired of the app that I was previously using to identify plants - that app started identifying everything as a dicot. I download it half a dozen plant identification apps. Some of them wanted me to sign up for a trial before they would let me try them out; I’m not partial to that. Others would freely let me try them out, and failed miserably on the various plants in my yard. This app correctly identified just about everything, and it didn’t asked me to sign up for anything in advance. The only thing I think that it did not get was a very tiny sprout it was barely above the dirt line. Even then, it gave a plausible guess. Another thing I like is that it lists possible plans in order with the percentage certainty that it estimates. I much appreciate that rather than just some wild random guess. Finally it has a pallet where you can tell it to identify either the plant or the bark or the fruit or the flower that happens to show in the photo being able to identify a plant for instance by its bark I think it’s great. I’ve only been using this app for an hour so there might be some nasty‘s in store but so far it’s a no-brainer I’m using this from now on.
