An editorial reading of the saved reviews
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.

Simplicity for beginners, occasionally correct identification, cases where it helped spot a plant problem
What reviews complain about
Identification often returns nothing, different names for the same plant, dangerously wrong care advice, loss of saved plants after updates
What users experience
1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
I took three pictures of the same tree and it gave me three different names. This app is garbage.
