Review summary

Users appreciate the app's detailed botanical information and flexible pay-per-use subscription model. However, many report significant issues, including technical problems like connection timeouts and photo upload errors, subscription management confusion, and limited functionality without payment. Additionally, the identification results are often uncertain or inaccurate, reducing usefulness. Overall, the app is considered ineffective and frustrating by many users, despite its promising concept.

Pros

The app provides both botanical and suggestions for layman plant names (though a user requested more layman names).
Subscription pricing is flexible, allowing paying per request rather than a fixed monthly fee.
The app offers detailed botanical information and is considered enlightening by some users.
Has potential accuracy in plant identification as users commented it seems accurate.
The app is helpful as an alternative to studying heavy books for ecosystem study.

Cons

The app is largely unusable without paying a subscription, despite being advertised as free.
Many users experience subscription and payment issues such as inability to restore subscription or confusion over charges.
Technical issues are common, including connection timeouts and errors uploading photos from gallery.
The app often fails to correctly identify plants, sometimes only providing multiple possibilities without definitive answers.
Some users report very slow scanning times or app freezing during scanning.

2022-04-18	Yv*****	Simply enlightening especially with relative suggestions . No complications at all, bien fait 👍 however,is it possible to have the layman name of the plant as well as it's botanical name instead of just the botanical name. Thank you 🙏

2022-04-02	Da*****	This went from an awesome app to a bad one, when I look at subscriptions, it says I am paying the monthly subscription. When I go in to the game it says I need to pay. When I push restore subscription it doesn't say anything. When I push buy subscription it says you already have a subscription. This is stupid I can't use the app.

2021-11-16	Go*****	Seems to be accurate (?) but i dont know for sure because i cant actually open the matched leaf to find out what it is beyond the scientific name without paying for a subscription. Im fine with sub fees, though for something like this id prefer one time payment, but there is no way to know if this is actually accurate before you subscribe. There is no trial or anything, and you cant check the accuracy of the first search before paying, so ill be uninstalling. Have no idea if it actually works.

2021-11-07	Ka*****	I am searching for a free plant identification app and can't seem to find one. They all say free when I search for them and then once I download them they actually cost money.
