User Reviews

Users praise the app for its rich plant information and helpful photos, plus Brigitte Mars's credibility and on-the-go usefulness.

When I bought this app it was wonderful — it had a lot of extras with it, extremely useful. Like many developers, this one has chosen to go for the gusto — she wants more of my money, so she takes away certain features, then offers to sell them back to me for more money. I gave in and did it, only to find out she did not restore the extras – there were little parts where information was cut off, those parts were fixed, but now I’m still supposed to spend to “upgrade.“ I still miss the extras, especially the dictionary of the technical terms she uses, but in order to get those you’ll have to go join her on her Facebook page. Pretty cheap trick for getting more Facebook followers. And you don’t have access to them if youre not online. So note to greedy developers: give your customer something, then take it away and charge them again. The information in this app is excellent, but the sleazy tactics give this “medicine“ a bad taste.

Are used to love this app. Now it limits the information without an upgrade. I don’t know how to upgrade. And it is unstable and not working on my iPhone X. Will rate five stars once it is fixed. Thanks

Such a cool app! I’m a conservation biology major and I’ve always really liked plants but aside from their appearance never really knew anything else about them. This app has cool little descriptions of the plants, their characteristics, their range, and even their effect on the surrounding soil(COOL)! Some entries are more detailed than others, but I’ve learned a lot from it and there’s even a little section that lists what part of the plants have historically been used as medicine, so now I can follow along when my horticulture friends start talking about all the properties of mint and crud.
