User Reviews

As a professional botanist, this app is one of the many loves of my life. It is so user friendly that I often recommend it to the landowners I work with. It is so thorough, and I love that it provides definitions to the highly specific words used in botany to ensure all have access to plant IDs. A perfect app

Carrying around the Radford manual is great. But you always have your phone! Up to date taxonomy, really easy to search cor taxa, PHOTOS, explanation of random botanical terms in the keys, and filtering by region. It makes this app a great tool to learn plants, key plants, remember plants, teach plants, and so on and so forth! Thanks to Scott Ward and all of the collaborators for putting the many hours in. And to Dr. Weakley for FSUS in general!

This app is by far the best plant identification tool I’ve come across. Intuitive, easy to use, excellent keys and information etc. it’s like Merlin, but for flowers! I will sing it’s praises to anyone who will listen. It might seem a little pricey, but it’s a onetime investment that will continue to serve you, and personally I want to support the creators so they can continue to make such excellent resources!
