LeafSnap-Plant Identification

Around my house there is an extensive forest and wetland filled to the brim with many different species of plants, many of which are edible in some way; I have run the leaves of around 50 different plants that were unknown to me, and EVERY SINGLE TIME this app gave the correct plant name, which I then googled to verify. The app has four settings for photos: flowers, leaves, bark, and fruits. While leaves and flowers are shown with 100% accuracy, the first result when running bark through the app isn’t always correct, which is to be expected, but so far the correct plant has always been on the list; as for fruits I have not tried that setting yet. No other app I have ever tried has worked with anywhere near the same ability as LeafSnap, and it is a FREE app that has performed better than even paid apps. I would absolutely recommend this app for any forager or plant enthusiast!

I have never been up to date with watering my plants and I like reminders and adding new plants. Speaking of which, I feel the app can include a feature of search bar when you want to add a new plant. I had lemon grass and I knew the botanical name, but I clicked the image of the leaf, the botanical name or regular name did not come up leading to an incorrect identification of the plant. So if they had a search bar I could just type in, add a picture of the plant and go from there. Also I had requested to add a new plant about a month ago and I didn’t hear from the team. Hence I said it is good, but it could be better. All things considered it is still free and doesn’t bug you to buy the premium feature.

I looked for 2 hours on various websites and tools but could not for the life of me find the name of one of my plants. I want to be able to take care of my plants properly- but you need to know the name in order to do so. This app found my plant in about 2 seconds and I was so excited. For fun I just started snapping all my other plants too. A suggestion I would add is to add a section where it has basic care/ needs (like sunlight amounts, water preferences, preferred temperatures, etc) I 100% recommend this app!!
