Plant App: Plant Identifier

gamed rating

The job is the same, learn the plant and what is wrong with it, but the app handles it poorly: for many, identification simply returns nothing, three photos of one tree give three different names, and wrong care advice is dangerous for real plants. On top of that, recovering the account after every major update loses all saved plants.

About the rating

Store 4.7 versus a 2.88 text average and only 38 percent five-stars, with those five-stars nearly empty while the substantive reviews complain wall-to-wall about failed identifications and lost saved plants. Such a gap with almost no concrete praise points to rating inflation.

Strengths

What users love

  • Simplicity for beginners
  • Occasionally correct identification
  • Cases where it helped spot a plant problem
Weak spots

What users hate

  • Identification often returns nothing
  • Different names for the same plant
  • Dangerously wrong care advice
  • Loss of saved plants after updates

Who it is for

Maybe only outright beginners with no accuracy demands, but per the reviews almost everyone should look for an alternative
