Plant Identifier - PlantMe
gamed ratingPlantMe sells reminders, diagnostics and advice, but by the reviews it rarely lands the identification: it confuses cucumbers with squash, common grass with Bermuda, and one user nearly chopped down his wife's flower on a weed advice. The app forces you to take a live photo and won't let you pick one from your library. On top of that, 8-dollar weekly charges and no way to cancel.
Text average is just 1.62 against a store 4.41 and only 11% five-stars, and one review flatly states the feedback automatically takes 5 star LOL, so a forced five-star mechanism is admitted by a user. The five-stars are empty (Awesome app!, See above:) while the longer reviews are almost all about errors and charges.
