Greg: Plant Identifier & Care
doubtful ratingGreg rides on a friendly tone and community: some people use it for over a year and say their plants survived for the first time thanks to the reminders. There are two weak spots. Many call the watering schedule random and unreliable, ignoring plant size and the fact that the soil is still wet. And the app is buggy: it freezes while typing, won't log in, loses added plants, and misidentifies simple plants like Texas sage.
Store 4.59 against 2.41 by text, 21% five-stars. Some five-stars aren't about the app at all but community questions (Should I repot this orchid?) or about delivery of a live plant, so the rating doesn't reflect the product. There are genuine devoted users, but the baseline is inflated.
