Rating: AI Species Identifier (Plant/Bug/Animal)

Plant Identifier: Plantiary

gamed rating

Plantiary identifies some plants decently and can log your garden with insect ID too. But accuracy wobbles: it calls a squash a pumpkin and tells you to water aquatic plants that are already underwater. The loudest cry in the reviews isn't about plants, it's about money: the free trial quietly turns into 9.99 a week, cancellation can't be found, and charges continue after cancelling.

About the rating

Store 4.66 against 2.07 by text with only 23% five-stars, and those five-stars are often empty or in other languages (Sarsabzi.shadi, Inconmensurable). One review flatly calls it AI slop, and there is a wave of complaints about 9.99 weekly charges after a free trial. Too glossy a store rating over junk five-stars.
