Plant Identifier, Care: Planty

doubtful rating

People pick Planty for the plant journal and watering reminders, and that part actually works. Everything else breaks: identification confuses similar cacti and flags diseases on healthy plants, and support ignores emails while still charging 39.99 a month after cancellation. Basic care is there, trust is not.

About the rating

The gap is huge: 4.7 in the store versus 2.98 by text, and the five-star reviews carry almost no detail (super helpful, helping with my sick plant), while the longer reviews mostly complain about charges and weak identification. High ratings look collected on first-screen emotion, not real use.
